Thanks to Digimer ;-)

It works now. C2000 Chipset under CentOS 6.6 has some "minor" issues on a
peer to peer connection, even forcing a special transmittion rate (e.g.
100Mbit half) hasn't worked on my Supermicro boards.

Putting a Switch between solved it.

Now everything works fine, except a fencing issue I haven't figured out
yet. The fence_ipmilan works. the IPMI seems so stop responding after a
while after boottime. so corosync fills up the
memory till dead.

Thanks again
