Well you can hack the solution in the form of replacing the fencing master script to
always return success (Eli can help you with that),
and define an imaginary fencing device on each host ... meaning that the fencing command
will always succeeds.
But this may be risky ... as you might end up with the same VM running on 2 hosts.
And one last note ... when you disconnect one of the hosts in the demo you mentioned, I
think you'll be better to disconnect the host that does not run the engine ...

Yes, pacemaker manages the engine. That part is working fine, the engine
restarts on the remaining node without problems.
It's just that the guests don't come back up until the powered down node has
been fenced manually.
