Greetings,
so finally together with Novell the solution was found. I had the ldirectord ressource in the cluster as a standard resource. You need to configure it as a clone resource, so that the ldirectord runs on both nodes. This solves number 1 of my problem.
It seems that there is no solution for number 2.
