Cluster Nodes
-------------
.. Convert_to_RST:
== Defining a Cluster Node ==
Each node in the cluster will have an entry in the nodes section
containing its UUID, uname, and type.
.Example Corosync cluster node entry
======
[source,XML]
<node id="101" uname="pcmk-1"/>
======
In normal circumstances, the admin should let the cluster populate
this information automatically from the communications and membership
data.

+
+Where Pacemaker Gets the Node Name
+##################################
+
+.. Convert_to_RST_2:
Traditionally, Pacemaker required nodes to be referred to by the value
returned by `uname -n`. This can be problematic for services that
require the `uname -n` to be a specific value (e.g. for a licence
file).
This requirement has been relaxed for clusters using Corosync 2.0 or later.
The name Pacemaker uses is:
. The value stored in +corosync.conf+ under *ring0_addr* in the *nodelist*, if it does not contain an IP address; otherwise
. The value stored in +corosync.conf+ under *name* in the *nodelist*; otherwise
. The value of `uname -n`
Pacemaker provides the `crm_node -n` command which displays the name
used by a running cluster.
If a Corosync *nodelist* is used, `crm_node --name-for-id` pass:[<replaceable>number</replaceable>] is also
available to display the name used by the node with the corosync
*nodeid* of pass:[<replaceable>number</replaceable>], for example: `crm_node --name-for-id 2`.

+
+Node Attributes
+###############
+.. Convert_to_RST_3:
+
indexterm:[Node,attribute]
Pacemaker allows node-specific values to be specified using 'node attributes'.
A node attribute has a name, and may have a distinct value for each node.
While certain node attributes have specific meanings to the cluster, they are
mainly intended to allow administrators and resource agents to track any
information desired.
For example, an administrator might choose to define node attributes for how
much RAM and disk space each node has, which OS each uses, or which server room
rack each node is in.
Users can configure <<ch-rules,rules>> that use node attributes to affect
where resources are placed.
=== Setting and querying node attributes ===
Node attributes can be set and queried using the `crm_attribute` and
`attrd_updater` commands, so that the user does not have to deal with XML
configuration directly.
Here is an example of what XML configuration would be generated if an
administrator ran this command:
.Result of using crm_attribute to specify which kernel pcmk-1 is running
======
-------
# crm_attribute --type nodes --node pcmk-1 --name kernel --update $(uname -r)
-------
[source,XML]
-------
<node id="1" uname="pcmk-1">
<instance_attributes id="nodes-1-attributes">
<nvpair id="nodes-1-kernel" name="kernel" value="3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64"/>
</instance_attributes>
</node>
-------
======
To read back the value that was just set:
----
# crm_attribute --type nodes --node pcmk-1 --name kernel --query
scope=nodes name=kernel value=3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64
----
By specifying `--type nodes` the admin tells the cluster that this
attribute is persistent across reboots. There are also transient attributes
which are kept in the status section and are "forgotten" whenever the node
leaves the cluster. Administrators can use this section by specifying
`--type status`.
=== Special node attributes ===
Certain node attributes have special meaning to the cluster.
Node attribute names beginning with # are considered reserved for these
special attributes. Some special attributes do not start with #, for
historical reasons.
Certain special attributes are set automatically by the cluster, should never
be modified directly, and can be used only within <<ch-rules,rules>>;
these are listed under <<node-attribute-expressions>>.
For true/false values, the cluster considers a value of "1", "y", "yes", "on",
or "true" (case-insensitively) to be true, "0", "n", "no", "off", "false", or
unset to be false, and anything else to be an error.
.Node attributes with special significance
[width="95%",cols="2m,<5",options="header",align="center"]
|====
|Name |Description
| fail-count-*
| Attributes whose names start with +fail-count-+ are managed by the cluster
to track how many times particular resource operations have failed on this
node. These should be queried and cleared via the `crm_failcount` or
`crm_resource --cleanup` commands rather than directly.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,fail-count-]
indexterm:[fail-count-,Node attribute]
| last-failure-*
| Attributes whose names start with +last-failure-+ are managed by the cluster
to track when particular resource operations have most recently failed on
this node. These should be cleared via the `crm_failcount` or
`crm_resource --cleanup` commands rather than directly.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,last-failure-]
indexterm:[last-failure-,Node attribute]
| maintenance
| Similar to the +maintenance-mode+ <<s-cluster-options,cluster option>>, but for
a single node. If true, resources will not be started or stopped on the node,
resources and individual clone instances running on the node will become
unmanaged, and any recurring operations for those will be cancelled.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,maintenance]
indexterm:[maintenance,Node attribute]
| probe_complete
| This is managed by the cluster to detect when nodes need to be reprobed, and
should never be used directly.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,probe_complete]
indexterm:[probe_complete,Node attribute]
| resource-discovery-enabled
| If the node is a remote node, fencing is enabled, and this attribute is
explicitly set to false (unset means true in this case), resource discovery
(probes) will not be done on this node. This is highly discouraged; the
+resource-discovery+ location constraint property is preferred for this
purpose.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,resource-discovery-enabled]
indexterm:[resource-discovery-enabled,Node attribute]
| shutdown
| This is managed by the cluster to orchestrate the shutdown of a node,
and should never be used directly.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,shutdown]
indexterm:[shutdown,Node attribute]
| site-name
| If set, this will be used as the value of the +#site-name+ node attribute
used in rules. (If not set, the value of the +cluster-name+ cluster option
will be used as +#site-name+ instead.)
indexterm:[Node,attribute,site-name]
indexterm:[site-name,Node attribute]
| standby
| If true, the node is in standby mode. This is typically set and queried via
the `crm_standby` command rather than directly.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,standby]
indexterm:[standby,Node attribute]
| terminate
| If the value is true or begins with any nonzero number, the node will be
fenced. This is typically set by tools rather than directly.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,terminate]
indexterm:[terminate,Node attribute]
| #digests-*
| Attributes whose names start with +#digests-+ are managed by the cluster to
detect when <<s-unfencing,unfencing>> needs to be redone, and should never be
used directly.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,#digests-]
indexterm:[#digests-,Node attribute]
| #node-unfenced
| When the node was last unfenced (as seconds since the epoch). This is managed
by the cluster and should never be used directly.
indexterm:[Node,attribute,#node-unfenced]
indexterm:[#node-unfenced,Node attribute]
|====
[WARNING]
====
Restarting pacemaker on a node that is in single-node maintenance mode will
likely lead to undesirable effects. If +maintenance+ is set as a transient
attribute, it will be erased when pacemaker is stopped, which will immediately
take the node out of maintenance mode and likely get it fenced. Even if
permanent, if pacemaker is restarted, any resources active on the node will
have their local history erased when the node rejoins, so the cluster will no
longer consider them running on the node and thus will consider them managed
again, leading them to be started elsewhere. This behavior might be improved
in a future release.

Cluster-Wide Configuration
--------------------------
.. Convert_to_RST:
== Configuration Layout ==
The cluster is defined by the Cluster Information Base (CIB),
which uses XML notation. The simplest CIB, an empty one, looks like this:
.An empty configuration
======
[source,XML]
-------
<cib crm_feature_set="3.0.7" validate-with="pacemaker-1.2" admin_epoch="1" epoch="0" num_updates="0">
<configuration>
<crm_config/>
<nodes/>
<resources/>
<constraints/>
</configuration>
<status/>
</cib>
-------
======
The empty configuration above contains the major sections that make up a CIB:
* +cib+: The entire CIB is enclosed with a +cib+ tag. Certain fundamental settings
are defined as attributes of this tag.
** +configuration+: This section -- the primary focus of this document --
contains traditional configuration information such as what resources the
cluster serves and the relationships among them.
*** +crm_config+: cluster-wide configuration options
*** +nodes+: the machines that host the cluster
*** +resources+: the services run by the cluster
*** +constraints+: indications of how resources should be placed
** +status+: This section contains the history of each resource on each node.
Based on this data, the cluster can construct the complete current
state of the cluster. The authoritative source for this section
is the local executor (pacemaker-execd process) on each cluster node, and
the cluster will occasionally repopulate the entire section. For this
reason, it is never written to disk, and administrators are advised
against modifying it in any way.
In this document, configuration settings will be described as 'properties' or 'options'
based on how they are defined in the CIB:
* Properties are XML attributes of an XML element.
* Options are name-value pairs expressed as +nvpair+ child elements of an XML element.
Normally, you will use command-line tools that abstract the XML, so the
distinction will be unimportant; both properties and options are
cluster settings you can tweak.
== CIB Properties ==
Certain settings are defined by CIB properties (that is, attributes of the
+cib+ tag) rather than with the rest of the cluster configuration in the
+configuration+ section.
The reason is simply a matter of parsing. These options are used by the
configuration database which is, by design, mostly ignorant of the content it
holds. So the decision was made to place them in an easy-to-find location.
.CIB Properties

|Field |Description
| admin_epoch |
indexterm:[Configuration Version,Cluster]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,Configuration Version]
indexterm:[admin_epoch,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,admin_epoch]
When a node joins the cluster, the cluster performs a check to see
which node has the best configuration. It asks the node with the highest
(+admin_epoch+, +epoch+, +num_updates+) tuple to replace the configuration on
all the nodes -- which makes setting them, and setting them correctly, very
important. +admin_epoch+ is never modified by the cluster; you can use this
to make the configurations on any inactive nodes obsolete. _Never set this
value to zero_. In such cases, the cluster cannot tell the difference between
your configuration and the "empty" one used when nothing is found on disk.
| epoch |
indexterm:[epoch,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,epoch]
The cluster increments this every time the configuration is updated (usually by
the administrator).
| num_updates |
indexterm:[num_updates,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,num_updates]
The cluster increments this every time the configuration or status is updated
(usually by the cluster) and resets it to 0 when epoch changes.
| validate-with |
indexterm:[validate-with,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,validate-with]
Determines the type of XML validation that will be done on the configuration.
If set to +none+, the cluster will not verify that updates conform to the
DTD (nor reject ones that don't). This option can be useful when
operating a mixed-version cluster during an upgrade.
|cib-last-written |
indexterm:[cib-last-written,Cluster Property]
indexterm:[Cluster,Property,cib-last-written]
Indicates when the configuration was last written to disk. Maintained by the
cluster; for informational purposes only.
|have-quorum |
indexterm:[have-quorum,Cluster Property]
indexterm:[Cluster,Property,have-quorum]
Indicates if the cluster has quorum. If false, this may mean that the
cluster cannot start resources or fence other nodes (see
+no-quorum-policy+ below). Maintained by the cluster.
|dc-uuid |
indexterm:[dc-uuid,Cluster Property]
indexterm:[Cluster,Property,dc-uuid]
Indicates which cluster node is the current leader. Used by the
cluster when placing resources and determining the order of some
events. Maintained by the cluster.

- [[s-cluster-options]]
- == Cluster Options ==
-
+.. Convert_to_RST_2:
+
Cluster options, as you might expect, control how the cluster behaves
when confronted with certain situations.
They are grouped into sets within the +crm_config+ section, and, in advanced
configurations, there may be more than one set. (This will be described later
in the section on <<ch-rules>> where we will show how to have the cluster use
different sets of options during working hours than during weekends.) For now,
we will describe the simple case where each option is present at most once.
You can obtain an up-to-date list of cluster options, including
their default values, by running the `man pacemaker-schedulerd` and
`man pacemaker-controld` commands.
.Cluster Options
[width="95%",cols="5m,2,<11",options="header",align="center"]
|=========================================================
|Option |Default |Description
| cluster-name | |
indexterm:[cluster-name,Cluster Property]
indexterm:[Cluster,Property,cluster-name]
An (optional) name for the cluster as a whole. This is mostly for users'
convenience for use as desired in administration, but this can be used
in the Pacemaker configuration in <<ch-rules,rules>> (as the
+#cluster-name+ <<node-attribute-expressions-special,node attribute>>). It may
also be used by higher-level tools when displaying cluster information, and by
certain resource agents (for example, the +ocf:heartbeat:GFS2+ agent stores the
cluster name in filesystem meta-data).
| dc-version | |
indexterm:[dc-version,Cluster Property]
indexterm:[Cluster,Property,dc-version]
Version of Pacemaker on the cluster's DC.
Determined automatically by the cluster.
Often includes the hash which identifies the exact Git changeset it was built
from. Used for diagnostic purposes.
| cluster-infrastructure | |
indexterm:[cluster-infrastructure,Cluster Property]
indexterm:[Cluster,Property,cluster-infrastructure]
The messaging stack on which Pacemaker is currently running.
Determined automatically by the cluster.
Used for informational and diagnostic purposes.
| no-quorum-policy | stop
a|
indexterm:[no-quorum-policy,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,no-quorum-policy]
What to do when the cluster does not have quorum. Allowed values:
* +ignore:+ continue all resource management
* +freeze:+ continue resource management, but don't recover resources from nodes not in the affected partition
* +stop:+ stop all resources in the affected cluster partition
* +demote:+ demote promotable resources and stop all other resources in the
affected cluster partition
* +suicide:+ fence all nodes in the affected cluster partition
| batch-limit | 0 |
indexterm:[batch-limit,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,batch-limit]
The maximum number of actions that the cluster may execute in parallel across
all nodes. The "correct" value will depend on the speed and load of your
network and cluster nodes. If zero, the cluster will impose a dynamically
calculated limit only when any node has high load.
| migration-limit | -1 |
indexterm:[migration-limit,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,migration-limit]
The number of <<s-migrating-resources,live migration>> actions that the cluster
is allowed to execute in parallel on a node. A value of -1 means unlimited.
| symmetric-cluster | TRUE |
indexterm:[symmetric-cluster,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,symmetric-cluster]
Can all resources run on any node by default?
| stop-all-resources | FALSE |
indexterm:[stop-all-resources,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stop-all-resources]
Should the cluster stop all resources?
| stop-orphan-resources | TRUE |
indexterm:[stop-orphan-resources,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stop-orphan-resources]
Should deleted resources be stopped? This value takes precedence over
+is-managed+ (i.e. even unmanaged resources will be stopped if deleted from
the configuration when this value is TRUE).
| stop-orphan-actions | TRUE |
indexterm:[stop-orphan-actions,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stop-orphan-actions]
Should deleted actions be cancelled?
| start-failure-is-fatal | TRUE |
indexterm:[start-failure-is-fatal,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,start-failure-is-fatal]
Should a failure to start a resource on a particular node prevent further start
attempts on that node? If FALSE, the cluster will decide whether the same
node is still eligible based on the resource's current failure count
and +migration-threshold+ (see <<s-failure-handling>>).
| enable-startup-probes | TRUE |
indexterm:[enable-startup-probes,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,enable-startup-probes]
Should the cluster check for active resources during startup?
| maintenance-mode | FALSE |
indexterm:[maintenance-mode,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,maintenance-mode]
Should the cluster refrain from monitoring, starting and stopping resources?
| stonith-enabled | TRUE |
indexterm:[stonith-enabled,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-enabled]
Should failed nodes and nodes with resources that can't be stopped be
shot? If you value your data, set up a STONITH device and enable this.
If true, or unset, the cluster will refuse to start resources unless
one or more STONITH resources have been configured.
If false, unresponsive nodes are immediately assumed to be running no
resources, and resource takeover to online nodes starts without any
further protection (which means _data loss_ if the unresponsive node
still accesses shared storage, for example). See also the +requires+
meta-attribute in <<s-resource-options>>.
| stonith-action | reboot |
indexterm:[stonith-action,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-action]
Action to send to STONITH device. Allowed values are +reboot+ and +off+.
The value +poweroff+ is also allowed, but is only used for
legacy devices.
| stonith-timeout | 60s |
indexterm:[stonith-timeout,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-timeout]
How long to wait for STONITH actions (reboot, on, off) to complete
| stonith-max-attempts | 10 |
indexterm:[stonith-max-attempts,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-max-attempts]
How many times fencing can fail for a target before the cluster will no longer
immediately re-attempt it.
| stonith-watchdog-timeout | 0 |
indexterm:[stonith-watchdog-timeout,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-watchdog-timeout]
If nonzero, along with `have-watchdog=true` automatically set by the
cluster, when fencing is required, watchdog-based self-fencing
will be performed via SBD without requiring a fencing resource
explicitly configured.
If `stonith-watchdog-timeout` is set to a positive value, unseen
nodes are assumed to self-fence within this much time. +WARNING:+
It must be ensured that this value is larger than the
`SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT` environment variable on all nodes.
Pacemaker verifies the settings individually on all nodes and
prevents startup or shuts down if configured wrongly on the fly.
It's strongly recommended that `SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT` is set to
the same value on all nodes.
If `stonith-watchdog-timeout` is set to a negative value, and
`SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT` is set, twice that value will be used.
+WARNING:+ In this case, it's essential (currently not verified by
pacemaker) that `SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT` is set to the same value on
all nodes.
| concurrent-fencing | FALSE |
indexterm:[concurrent-fencing,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,concurrent-fencing]
Is the cluster allowed to initiate multiple fence actions concurrently?
| fence-reaction | stop |
indexterm:[fence-reaction,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,fence-reaction]
How should a cluster node react if notified of its own fencing? A cluster node
may receive notification of its own fencing if fencing is misconfigured, or if
fabric fencing is in use that doesn't cut cluster communication. Allowed values
are +stop+ to attempt to immediately stop pacemaker and stay stopped, or
+panic+ to attempt to immediately reboot the local node, falling back to stop
on failure. The default is likely to be changed to +panic+ in a future release.
'(since 2.0.3)'
| priority-fencing-delay | 0 |
indexterm:[priority-fencing-delay,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,priority-fencing-delay]
Apply specified delay for the fencings that are targeting the lost
nodes with the highest total resource priority in case we don't
have the majority of the nodes in our cluster partition, so that
the more significant nodes potentially win any fencing match,
which is especially meaningful under split-brain of 2-node
cluster. A promoted resource instance takes the base priority + 1
on calculation if the base priority is not 0. Any static/random
delays that are introduced by `pcmk_delay_base/max` configured
for the corresponding fencing resources will be added to this
delay. This delay should be significantly greater than, safely
twice, the maximum `pcmk_delay_base/max`. By default, priority
fencing delay is disabled. '(since 2.0.4)'
| cluster-delay | 60s |
indexterm:[cluster-delay,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,cluster-delay]
Estimated maximum round-trip delay over the network (excluding action
execution). If the DC requires an action to be executed on another
node, it will consider the action failed if it does not get a response
from the other node in this time (after considering the action's
own timeout). The "correct" value will depend on the speed and load of your
network and cluster nodes.
| dc-deadtime | 20s |
indexterm:[dc-deadtime,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,dc-deadtime]
How long to wait for a response from other nodes during startup.
The "correct" value will depend on the speed/load of your network and the type of switches used.
| cluster-ipc-limit | 500 |
indexterm:[cluster-ipc-limit,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,cluster-ipc-limit]
The maximum IPC message backlog before one cluster daemon will disconnect
another. This is of use in large clusters, for which a good value is the number
of resources in the cluster multiplied by the number of nodes. The default of
500 is also the minimum. Raise this if you see "Evicting client" messages for
cluster daemon PIDs in the logs.
| pe-error-series-max | -1 |
indexterm:[pe-error-series-max,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,pe-error-series-max]
The number of PE inputs resulting in ERRORs to save. Used when reporting problems.
A value of -1 means unlimited (report all).
| pe-warn-series-max | -1 |
indexterm:[pe-warn-series-max,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,pe-warn-series-max]
The number of PE inputs resulting in WARNINGs to save. Used when reporting problems.
A value of -1 means unlimited (report all).
| pe-input-series-max | -1 |
indexterm:[pe-input-series-max,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,pe-input-series-max]
The number of "normal" PE inputs to save. Used when reporting problems.
A value of -1 means unlimited (report all).
| placement-strategy | default |
indexterm:[placement-strategy,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,placement-strategy]
How the cluster should allocate resources to nodes (see <<s-utilization>>).
Allowed values are +default+, +utilization+, +balanced+, and +minimal+.
| node-health-strategy | none |
indexterm:[node-health-strategy,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-strategy]
How the cluster should react to node health attributes (see <<s-node-health>>).
Allowed values are +none+, +migrate-on-red+, +only-green+, +progressive+, and
+custom+.
| enable-acl | FALSE |
indexterm:[enable-acl,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,enable-acl]
Whether access control lists (ACLs) (see <<ch-acls>>) can be used to authorize
modifications to the CIB.
| node-health-base | 0 |
indexterm:[node-health-base,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-base]
The base health score assigned to a node. Only used when
+node-health-strategy+ is +progressive+.
| node-health-green | 0 |
indexterm:[node-health-green,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-green]
The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is +green+.
Only used when +node-health-strategy+ is +progressive+ or +custom+.
| node-health-yellow | 0 |
indexterm:[node-health-yellow,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-yellow]
The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is +yellow+.
Only used when +node-health-strategy+ is +progressive+ or +custom+.
| node-health-red | 0 |
indexterm:[node-health-red,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-red]
The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is +red+.
Only used when +node-health-strategy+ is +progressive+ or +custom+.
| cluster-recheck-interval | 15min |
indexterm:[cluster-recheck-interval,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,cluster-recheck-interval]
Pacemaker is primarily event-driven, and looks ahead to know when to recheck
the cluster for failure timeouts and most time-based rules. However, it will
also recheck the cluster after this amount of inactivity. This has two goals:
rules with +date_spec+ are only guaranteed to be checked this often, and it
also serves as a fail-safe for certain classes of scheduler bugs. A value of 0
disables this polling; positive values are a time interval.
| shutdown-lock | false |
The default of false allows active resources to be recovered elsewhere when
their node is cleanly shut down, which is what the vast majority of users will
want. However, some users prefer to make resources highly available only for
failures, with no recovery for clean shutdowns. If this option is true,
resources active on a node when it is cleanly shut down are kept "locked" to
that node (not allowed to run elsewhere) until they start again on that node
after it rejoins (or for at most shutdown-lock-limit, if set). Stonith
resources and Pacemaker Remote connections are never locked. Clone and bundle
instances and the master role of promotable clones are currently never locked,
though support could be added in a future release. Locks may be manually
cleared using the `--refresh` option of `crm_resource` (both the resource and
node must be specified; this works with remote nodes if their connection
resource's target-role is set to Stopped, but not if Pacemaker Remote is
stopped on the remote node without disabling the connection resource).
'(since 2.0.4)'
indexterm:[shutdown-lock,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,shutdown-lock]
| shutdown-lock-limit | 0 |
If shutdown-lock is true, and this is set to a nonzero time duration, locked
resources will be allowed to start after this much time has passed since the
node shutdown was initiated, even if the node has not rejoined. (This works
with remote nodes only if their connection resource's target-role is set to
Stopped.) '(since 2.0.4)'

indexterm:[Cluster,Option,remove-after-stop]
_Advanced Use Only:_ Should the cluster remove resources from the LRM after
they are stopped? Values other than the default are, at best, poorly tested and
potentially dangerous.
| startup-fencing | TRUE |
indexterm:[startup-fencing,Cluster Option]
indexterm:[Cluster,Option,startup-fencing]
_Advanced Use Only:_ Should the cluster shoot unseen nodes?
Not using the default is very unsafe!
| election-timeout | 2min |

Cluster Resources
-----------------
.. Convert_to_RST:
[[s-resource-primitive]]
== What is a Cluster Resource? ==
indexterm:[Resource]
A resource is a service made highly available by a cluster.
The simplest type of resource, a 'primitive' resource, is described
in this chapter. More complex forms, such as groups and clones,
are described in later chapters.
Every primitive resource has a 'resource agent'. A resource agent is an
external program that abstracts the service it provides and present a
consistent view to the cluster.
This allows the cluster to be agnostic about the resources it manages.
The cluster doesn't need to understand how the resource works because
it relies on the resource agent to do the right thing when given a
`start`, `stop` or `monitor` command. For this reason, it is crucial that
resource agents are well-tested.
Typically, resource agents come in the form of shell scripts. However,
they can be written using any technology (such as C, Python or Perl)
that the author is comfortable with.
[[s-resource-supported]]
== Resource Classes ==
indexterm:[Resource,class]
Pacemaker supports several classes of agents:
* OCF
* LSB
* Upstart
* Systemd
* Service
* Fencing
* Nagios Plugins
=== Open Cluster Framework ===
indexterm:[Resource,OCF]
indexterm:[OCF,Resources]
indexterm:[Open Cluster Framework,Resources]
The OCF standard
footnote:[See https://github.com/ClusterLabs/OCF-spec/tree/master/ra . The
Pacemaker implementation has been somewhat extended from the OCF specs.]
is basically an extension of the Linux Standard Base conventions for
init scripts to:
* support parameters,
* make them self-describing, and
* make them extensible
OCF specs have strict definitions of the exit codes that actions must return.
footnote:[
The resource-agents source code includes the `ocf-tester` script, which
can be useful in this regard.
]
The cluster follows these specifications exactly, and giving the wrong
exit code will cause the cluster to behave in ways you will likely
find puzzling and annoying. In particular, the cluster needs to
distinguish a completely stopped resource from one which is in some
erroneous and indeterminate state.
Parameters are passed to the resource agent as environment variables, with the
special prefix +OCF_RESKEY_+. So, a parameter which the user thinks
of as +ip+ will be passed to the resource agent as +OCF_RESKEY_ip+. The
number and purpose of the parameters is left to the resource agent; however,
the resource agent should use the `meta-data` command to advertise any that it
supports.
The OCF class is the most preferred as it is an industry standard,
highly flexible (allowing parameters to be passed to agents in a
non-positional manner) and self-describing.
For more information, see the
http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/OCF_Resource_Agents[reference] and
the 'Resource Agents' chapter of 'Pacemaker Administration'.
=== Linux Standard Base ===
indexterm:[Resource,LSB]
indexterm:[LSB,Resources]
indexterm:[Linux Standard Base,Resources]
'LSB' resource agents are more commonly known as 'init scripts'. If a full path
is not given, they are assumed to be located in +/etc/init.d+.
Commonly, they are provided by the OS distribution. In order to be used
with a Pacemaker cluster, they must conform to the LSB specification.
footnote:[
See
http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html
for the LSB Spec as it relates to init scripts.
]
[WARNING]
====
Many distributions or particular software packages claim LSB compliance
but ship with broken init scripts. For details on how to check whether
your init script is LSB-compatible, see the 'Resource Agents' chapter of
'Pacemaker Administration'. Common problematic violations of the LSB
standard include:
* Not implementing the +status+ operation at all
* Not observing the correct exit status codes for
+start+/+stop+/+status+ actions
* Starting a started resource returns an error
* Stopping a stopped resource returns an error
====
[IMPORTANT]
====
Remember to make sure the computer is _not_ configured to start any
services at boot time -- that should be controlled by the cluster.
====
[[s-resource-supported-systemd]]
=== Systemd ===
indexterm:[Resource,Systemd]
indexterm:[Systemd,Resources]
Some newer distributions have replaced the old
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init#SysV-style["SysV"] style of
initialization daemons and scripts with an alternative called
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd[Systemd].
Pacemaker is able to manage these services _if they are present_.
Instead of init scripts, systemd has 'unit files'. Generally, the
services (unit files) are provided by the OS distribution, but there
are online guides for converting from init scripts.

indexterm:[Resource,Upstart]
indexterm:[Upstart,Resources]
Some newer distributions have replaced the old
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init#SysV-style["SysV"] style of
initialization daemons (and scripts) with an alternative called
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/[Upstart].
Pacemaker is able to manage these services _if they are present_.
Instead of init scripts, upstart has 'jobs'. Generally, the
services (jobs) are provided by the OS distribution.

====
Remember to make sure the computer is _not_ configured to start any
services at boot time -- that should be controlled by the cluster.
====
=== System Services ===
indexterm:[Resource,System Services]
indexterm:[System Service,Resources]
Since there are various types of system services (+systemd+,
+upstart+, and +lsb+), Pacemaker supports a special +service+ alias which
intelligently figures out which one applies to a given cluster node.
This is particularly useful when the cluster contains a mix of
+systemd+, +upstart+, and +lsb+.
In order, Pacemaker will try to find the named service as:
. an LSB init script
. a Systemd unit file
. an Upstart job
=== STONITH ===
indexterm:[Resource,STONITH]
indexterm:[STONITH,Resources]
The STONITH class is used exclusively for fencing-related resources. This is
discussed later in <<ch-fencing>>.
=== Nagios Plugins ===
indexterm:[Resource,Nagios Plugins]
indexterm:[Nagios Plugins,Resources]
Nagios Plugins
footnote:[The project has two independent forks, hosted at
https://www.nagios-plugins.org/ and https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/. Output
from both projects' plugins is similar, so plugins from either project can be
used with pacemaker.]
allow us to monitor services on remote hosts.
Pacemaker is able to do remote monitoring with the plugins _if they are
present_.
A common use case is to configure them as resources belonging to a resource
container (usually a virtual machine), and the container will be restarted
if any of them has failed. Another use is to configure them as ordinary
resources to be used for monitoring hosts or services via the network.
The supported parameters are same as the long options of the plugin.

|=========================================================
As an example of setting resource options, if you performed the following
commands on an LSB Email resource:
-------
# crm_resource --meta --resource Email --set-parameter priority --parameter-value 100
# crm_resource -m -r Email -p multiple-active -v block
-------
the resulting resource definition might be:
.An LSB resource with cluster options
=====
[source,XML]
-------
<primitive id="Email" class="lsb" type="exim">
<meta_attributes id="Email-meta_attributes">
<nvpair id="Email-meta_attributes-priority" name="priority" value="100"/>
<nvpair id="Email-meta_attributes-multiple-active" name="multiple-active" value="block"/>
</meta_attributes>
</primitive>
-------
=====
In addition to the cluster-defined meta-attributes described above, you may
also configure arbitrary meta-attributes of your own choosing. Most commonly,
this would be done for use in <<ch-rules,rules>>. For example, an IT department
might define a custom meta-attribute to indicate which company department each
resource is intended for. To reduce the chance of name collisions with
cluster-defined meta-attributes added in the future, it is recommended to use
a unique, organization-specific prefix for such attributes.
[[s-resource-defaults]]
=== Setting Global Defaults for Resource Meta-Attributes ===
To set a default value for a resource option, add it to the
+rsc_defaults+ section with `crm_attribute`. For example,
----
# crm_attribute --type rsc_defaults --name is-managed --update false
----
would prevent the cluster from starting or stopping any of the
resources in the configuration (unless of course the individual
resources were specifically enabled by having their +is-managed+ set to
+true+).
=== Resource Instance Attributes ===
The resource agents of some resource classes (lsb, systemd and upstart 'not' among them)
can be given parameters which determine how they behave and which instance
of a service they control.
If your resource agent supports parameters, you can add them with the
`crm_resource` command. For example,
----
# crm_resource --resource Public-IP --set-parameter ip --parameter-value 192.0.2.2
----
would create an entry in the resource like this:
.An example OCF resource with instance attributes

</instance_attributes>
</primitive>
-------
=====
For an OCF resource, the result would be an environment variable
called +OCF_RESKEY_ip+ with a value of +192.0.2.2+.
The list of instance attributes supported by an OCF resource agent can be
found by calling the resource agent with the `meta-data` command.
The output contains an XML description of all the supported
attributes, their purpose and default values.

== Resource Operations ==
indexterm:[Resource,Action]
'Operations' are actions the cluster can perform on a resource by calling the
resource agent. Resource agents must support certain common operations such as
start, stop, and monitor, and may implement any others.
Operations may be explicitly configured for two purposes: to override defaults
for options (such as timeout) that the cluster will use whenever it initiates
the operation, and to run an operation on a recurring basis (for example, to
monitor the resource for failure).

Pacemaker identifies operations by a combination of name and interval, so this
combination must be unique for each resource. That is, you should not configure
two operations for the same resource with the same name and interval.

indexterm:[role,Action Property]
indexterm:[Action,Property,role]
|=========================================================
[NOTE]
====
When +on-fail+ is set to +demote+, recovery from failure by a successful demote
causes the cluster to recalculate whether and where a new instance should be
promoted. The node with the failure is eligible, so if master scores have not
changed, it will be promoted again.
There is no direct equivalent of +migration-threshold+ for the master role, but
the same effect can be achieved with a location constraint using a
<<ch-rules,rule>> with a node attribute expression for the resource's fail
count.
For example, to immediately ban the master role from a node with any failed
promote or master monitor:
[source,XML]
----
<rsc_location id="loc1" rsc="my_primitive">
<rule id="rule1" score="-INFINITY" role="Master" boolean-op="or">
<expression id="expr1" attribute="fail-count-my_primitive#promote_0"
operation="gte" value="1"/>
<expression id="expr2" attribute="fail-count-my_primitive#monitor_10000"
operation="gte" value="1"/>
</rule>
</rsc_location>
----
This example assumes that there is a promotable clone of the +my_primitive+
resource (note that the primitive name, not the clone name, is used in the
rule), and that there is a recurring 10-second-interval monitor configured for
the master role (fail count attributes specify the interval in milliseconds).
====
[[s-resource-monitoring]]
=== Monitoring Resources for Failure ===
When Pacemaker first starts a resource, it runs one-time +monitor+ operations
(referred to as 'probes') to ensure the resource is running where it's
supposed to be, and not running where it's not supposed to be. (This behavior
can be affected by the +resource-discovery+ location constraint property.)
Other than those initial probes, Pacemaker will 'not' (by default) check that
the resource continues to stay healthy.
footnote:[Currently, anyway. Automatic monitoring operations may be
added in a future version of Pacemaker.]
You must configure +monitor+ operations explicitly to perform these checks.

By default, a +monitor+ operation will ensure that the resource is running
where it is supposed to. The +target-role+ property can be used for further
checking.
For example, if a resource has one +monitor+ operation with
+interval=10 role=Started+ and a second +monitor+ operation with
+interval=11 role=Stopped+, the cluster will run the first monitor on any nodes
it thinks 'should' be running the resource, and the second monitor on any nodes
that it thinks 'should not' be running the resource (for the truly paranoid,
who want to know when an administrator manually starts a service by mistake).
[NOTE]
====
Currently, monitors with +role=Stopped+ are not implemented for
<<s-resource-clone,clone>> resources.
====
[[s-monitoring-unmanaged]]
=== Monitoring Resources When Administration is Disabled ===
Recurring +monitor+ operations behave differently under various administrative
settings:
* When a resource is unmanaged (by setting +is-managed=false+): No monitors
will be stopped.
+
If the unmanaged resource is stopped on a node where the cluster thinks it
should be running, the cluster will detect and report that it is not, but it
will not consider the monitor failed, and will not try to start the resource
until it is managed again.
+
Starting the unmanaged resource on a different node is strongly discouraged
and will at least cause the cluster to consider the resource failed, and
may require the resource's +target-role+ to be set to +Stopped+ then +Started+
to be recovered.
* When a node is put into standby: All resources will be moved away from the
node, and all +monitor+ operations will be stopped on the node, except those
specifying +role+ as +Stopped+ (which will be newly initiated if
appropriate).
* When the cluster is put into maintenance mode: All resources will be marked
as unmanaged. All monitor operations will be stopped, except those
specifying +role+ as +Stopped+ (which will be newly initiated if
appropriate). As with single unmanaged resources, starting
a resource on a node other than where the cluster expects it to be will
cause problems.
[[s-operation-defaults]]
=== Setting Global Defaults for Operations ===
You can change the global default values for operation properties
in a given cluster. These are defined in an +op_defaults+ section
of the CIB's +configuration+ section, and can be set with `crm_attribute`.
For example,
----
# crm_attribute --type op_defaults --name timeout --update 20s
----
would default each operation's +timeout+ to 20 seconds. If an
operation's definition also includes a value for +timeout+, then that
value would be used for that operation instead.
=== When Implicit Operations Take a Long Time ===
The cluster will always perform a number of implicit operations: +start+,
+stop+ and a non-recurring +monitor+ operation used at startup to check
whether the resource is already active. If one of these is taking too long,
then you can create an entry for them and specify a longer timeout.

=====
=== Multiple Monitor Operations ===
Provided no two operations (for a single resource) have the same name
and interval, you can have as many +monitor+ operations as you like.
In this way, you can do a superficial health check every minute and
progressively more intense ones at higher intervals.
To tell the resource agent what kind of check to perform, you need to
provide each monitor with a different value for a common parameter.
The OCF standard creates a special parameter called +OCF_CHECK_LEVEL+
for this purpose and dictates that it is "made available to the
resource agent without the normal +OCF_RESKEY+ prefix".
Whatever name you choose, you can specify it by adding an
+instance_attributes+ block to the +op+ tag. It is up to each
resource agent to look for the parameter and decide how to use it.

=====
=== Disabling a Monitor Operation ===
The easiest way to stop a recurring monitor is to just delete it.
However, there can be times when you only want to disable it
temporarily. In such cases, simply add +enabled=false+ to the
operation's definition.

Status -- Here be dragons

Most users never need to understand the contents of the status section
and can be happy with the output from ``crm_mon``.
However for those with a curious inclination, this section attempts to
provide an overview of its contents.
.. index::
single: node; status
Node Status
###########
In addition to the cluster's configuration, the CIB holds an
up-to-date representation of each cluster node in the ``status`` section.

</node_state>
Users are highly recommended *not* to modify any part of a node's
state *directly*. The cluster will periodically regenerate the entire
section from authoritative sources, so any changes should be done
with the tools appropriate to those sources.

largely for historical reasons and are rooted in Pacemaker's origins
as the resource manager for the older Heartbeat project. They have remained
unchanged to preserve compatibility with older versions.

Transient Node Attributes
#########################
-Like regular :ref:`Node Attributes`, the name/value
+Like regular :ref:`node_attributes`, the name/value
pairs listed in the ``transient_attributes`` section help to describe the
node. However they are forgotten by the cluster when the node goes offline.
This can be useful, for instance, when you want a node to be in standby mode
(not able to run resources) just until the next reboot.
In addition to any values the administrator sets, the cluster will
also store information about failed resources here.
.. topic:: A set of transient node attributes for node **cl-virt-1**
.. code-block:: xml
<transient_attributes id="cl-virt-1">
<instance_attributes id="status-cl-virt-1">
<nvpair id="status-cl-virt-1-pingd" name="pingd" value="3"/>

<nvpair id="status-cl-virt-1-last-failure-pingd:0" name="last-failure-pingd:0" value="1239009742"/>
</instance_attributes>
</transient_attributes>
In the above example, we can see that a monitor on the ``pingd:0`` resource has
failed once, at 09:22:22 UTC 6 April 2009. [#]_.
We also see that the node is connected to three **pingd** peers and that
all known resources have been checked for on this machine (``probe_complete``).

Operation History
#################
A node's resource history is held in the ``lrm_resources`` tag (a child
of the ``lrm`` tag). The information stored here includes enough
information for the cluster to stop the resource safely if it is
removed from the ``configuration`` section. Specifically, the resource's
``id``, ``class``, ``type`` and ``provider`` are stored.
.. topic:: A record of the ``apcstonith`` resource
.. code-block:: xml
<lrm_resource id="apcstonith" type="apcmastersnmp" class="stonith"/>
Additionally, we store the last job for every combination of
``resource``, ``action`` and ``interval``. The concatenation of the values in
this tuple are used to create the id of the ``lrm_rsc_op`` object.

Simple Operation History Example
________________________________
.. topic:: A monitor operation (determines current state of the ``apcstonith`` resource)
.. code-block:: xml
<lrm_resource id="apcstonith" type="apcmastersnmp" class="stonith">
<lrm_rsc_op id="apcstonith_monitor_0" operation="monitor" call-id="2"
rc-code="7" op-status="0" interval="0"
crm-debug-origin="do_update_resource" crm_feature_set="3.0.1"
op-digest="2e3da9274d3550dc6526fb24bfcbcba0"
transition-key="22:2:7:2668bbeb-06d5-40f9-936d-24cb7f87006a"
transition-magic="0:7;22:2:7:2668bbeb-06d5-40f9-936d-24cb7f87006a"
last-run="1239008085" last-rc-change="1239008085" exec-time="10" queue-time="0"/>
</lrm_resource>
In the above example, the job is a non-recurring monitor operation
often referred to as a "probe" for the ``apcstonith`` resource.
The cluster schedules probes for every configured resource on a node when
the node first starts, in order to determine the resource's current state
before it takes any further action.
From the ``transition-key``, we can see that this was the 22nd action of
the 2nd graph produced by this instance of the controller
(2668bbeb-06d5-40f9-936d-24cb7f87006a).
The third field of the ``transition-key`` contains a 7, which indicates
that the job expects to find the resource inactive. By looking at the ``rc-code``
property, we see that this was the case.
As that is the only job recorded for this node, we can conclude that
the cluster started the resource elsewhere.

</lrm_resource>
When more than one job record exists, it is important to first sort
them by ``call-id`` before interpreting them.
Once sorted, the above example can be summarized as:
#. A non-recurring monitor operation returning 7 (not running), with a ``call-id`` of 3
#. A stop operation returning 0 (success), with a ``call-id`` of 32
#. A start operation returning 0 (success), with a ``call-id`` of 33
#. A recurring monitor returning 0 (success), with a ``call-id`` of 34
The cluster processes each job record to build up a picture of the
resource's state. After the first and second entries, it is
considered stopped, and after the third it considered active.
Based on the last operation, we can tell that the resource is
currently active.
Additionally, from the presence of a ``stop`` operation with a lower
``call-id`` than that of the ``start`` operation, we can conclude that the
resource has been restarted. Specifically this occurred as part of
actions 11 and 31 of transition 11 from the controller instance with the key
``2668bbeb...``. This information can be helpful for locating the
relevant section of the logs when looking for the source of a failure.
.. [#] You can use the standard ``date`` command to print a human-readable version
of any seconds-since-epoch value, for example ``date -d @1239009742``.
