Oops .. Bad, bad, very bad news, almost for me. Nicolas, I have found 
the option to pass "-p" to corosync without modifying cman startup 
script. In /etc/sysconfig/cman config file, I have put a line with this:

CMAN_JOIN_OPTS="-P"

  .. and works ok.

[root at rhelnode01 sysconfig]# ps xa |grep corosync
  1033 ?        SLsl   0:00 corosync -f -p
  1494 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep corosync

I will do some tests with two nodes, But I think RHEL6.x is not yet 
ready for production environments, almost RHCS.
