More information :

in fact, when I started cman on nodes without cluster/cluster.conf,
they effectuvely (as expected) got a cluster.conf from another node
connected, but they take the cluster.conf from another HA pair cluster,
not from the third node of this current cluster !!!!
So that's why the start fails ...
Which is the algorythm of search when a node has no cluster.conf available ?
