Looking through the git changelog for crm-fence-peer.sh I've found some
notes that pointed me out in the right direction (I hope).
It seems that I need to call crm-fence from drdb config helpers section
of each resource like this: crm-fence-peer.sh -i <cib id of Xen
resource> -r Started
This way the script doesn't try to guess the cib id from drbd resource
name but takes the given id and searches for "Started" role (instead of
"Master" for the drbd resource type).
Still waiting to listen your opinions regarding how drbd is supposed to
manage failover of xen resource in case of io-error on Primary node with
"on-io-error detach".
