I disabled the firewall and SELinux (system-config-securitylevel-tui --disabled --selinux=disabled -q). I know it is supposed to work with SELinux now, but last time I tried it, it was still problematic. You can also try the "clean_start="1" attribute in the "<fence_daemon >" tag (the fenced man page explains this parameter in the "Domain startup" section, perhaps that's why you have a long timeout during the intialization of the fencing) Did you also try your fencing methods with the "fence_manual -n " command (useful to validate the fence device) ?
