So, colleagues.
I again tested the Fencing and now I think that my host-server
power-button (physically or through ILO) sends a KILL-command to the host
OS (and as a result to VM)
This journald log in my guest OS when I press the power-button on the host:

Perhaps this feature of HP ProLiant DL 360 G5. I dont know.
If I test the unavailability of a host other ways that everything is going
well.
I described my experience testing Fencing on practical examples on my blog
for everyone in Russian.

Thank you all very much for your participation and support.
Michal, what kind of scenario are you talking about?
Basically what you just did,
the question is what happens when you run 'shutdown -h now' (or press the
physical button if configured to trigger a soft shutdown); is it going to
propagate somehow the shutdown action to the VMs or to brutally kill them?
In the first case the VMs will not restart regardless of their HA flags.
PS: Excuse me for my bad English :)

>> Gianluca talks about “shutdown -h now”, you talk about power management
action, those are two different things. The current idea is that systemd or
some other component just propagates the action to the guest and if that
guest is configured to handle it as a shutdown it starts it itself as well
so it looks like a user-initiated one. Even though this mostly makes sense
it is not ok for current HA logic
