If I did, would it make sense for LCMC to present an Autostart option to me
at all?

I'm not a Pacemaker fan. It's sparsely documented, and oriented to the RHEL
cluster stack. I'm far fonder of Debian and its derivatives. If I wanted to
run a standard RH-style solution I'm sure it would be great. 

I handle failover with some bash scripts and ucarp. As long as I'm not
running the same VM on both hosts at once, I'm good. I'm not saying my
solution is perfected, but at least I understand it. Libvirt has good hooks
for scripting extensions.

Best,
Whit
