pacemaker_remoted 1.1.15 won't talk to pacemaker 1.1.14 [the source
of the issue is apparent in the logs on pacemaker_remoted side]

Here's what we need to do:

2. Set LRMD_PROTOCOL_VERSION back to 1.0 in 7.3 builds

5. Add a "review lrmd changes that might require bumping
LRMD_PROTOCOL_VERSION" to the upstream release checklist
6. Ensure that new lrm features think about how to handle "old"
remotes in the future
7. Update the docs to indicate that the software version on remote
nodes must be lte the lowest version in the main cluster

Update: it has been determined that the protocol version change was not strictly necessary in any case, so Comment 1's step 2 is sufficient to fix the issue (steps 5-7 are still worthwhile for the future) .

QA: Test procedure is to set up a pacemaker cluster that includes remote nodes, using the 7.2 packages, then do a rolling upgrade to the current packages (i.e. one node at a time, pcs cluster stop, yum update, pcs cluster start). There should be no failures, unexpected stops, or fencing, regardless of which order nodes are upgraded (in particular, a newer remote node connecting to an older cluster node, and an older remote node connecting to a newer cluster node).
