Resource group doesn't relocate when storage is disconnected and 0 paths remain active in pacemaker cluster

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When unplugging storage used for cluster resource (Fibre Channel cables from the server) the multipath correctly reports 0 remaining paths however the FS and LVM resources are still reported as Started by pacemaker. It seems that pacemaker doesn't spot the failure.

The pacemaker has FS resource on top of LVM resource which sits on the device from which is being unplugged.

Multipath reports following messages:

Dec  1 11:18:29 node01 multipathd: checker failed path 8:16 in map 36000d31000948c00000000000000011a
