What is a Cluster Resource?
###########################
.. index::
single: resource
A *resource* is a service managed by Pacemaker. The simplest type of resource,
a *primitive*, is described in this chapter. More complex forms, such as groups
and clones, are described in later chapters.
Every primitive has a *resource agent* that provides Pacemaker a standardized
interface for managing the service. This allows Pacemaker to be agnostic about
the services it manages. Pacemaker doesn't need to understand how the service
works because it relies on the resource agent to do the right thing when asked.
Every resource has a *class* specifying the standard that its resource agent
follows, and a *type* identifying the specific service being managed.
.. _s-resource-supported:

Resource Classes
################
Pacemaker supports several classes, or standards, of resource agents:
* OCF
* LSB
* Systemd
* Service
* Fencing
* Nagios *(deprecated since 2.1.6)*
* Upstart *(deprecated since 2.1.0)*
.. index::
single: resource; OCF

single: Open Cluster Framework; resources
Open Cluster Framework
______________________
The Open Cluster Framework (OCF) Resource Agent API is a ClusterLabs
standard for managing services. It is the most preferred since it is
specifically designed for use in a Pacemaker cluster.
OCF agents are scripts that support a variety of actions including ``start``,
``stop``, and ``monitor``. They may accept parameters, making them more
flexible than other classes. The number and purpose of parameters is left to
the agent, which advertises them via the ``meta-data`` action.
Unlike other classes, OCF agents have a *provider* as well as a class and type.
For more information, see the "Resource Agents" chapter of *Pacemaker
Administration* and the `OCF standard
<https://github.com/ClusterLabs/OCF-spec/tree/main/ra>`_.
.. _s-resource-supported-systemd:
.. index::
single: Resource; Systemd
single: Systemd; resources
Systemd
_______
Most Linux distributions use `Systemd
<http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd>`_ for system initialization
and service management. *Unit files* specify how to manage services and are
usually provided by the distribution.
Pacemaker can manage systemd services. Simply create a resource with
``systemd`` as the resource class and the unit file name as the resource type.
Do *not* run ``systemctl enable`` on the unit.
.. important::
Make sure that any systemd services to be controlled by the cluster are
*not* enabled to start at boot.
.. index::
single: resource; LSB
single: LSB; resources
single: Linux Standard Base; resources
Linux Standard Base
___________________
*LSB* resource agents, also known as `SysV-style
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init#SysV-style init scripts>`_, are scripts that
provide start, stop, and status actions for a service.
They are provided by some operating system distributions. If a full path is not
given, they are assumed to be located in a directory specified when your
Pacemaker software was built (usually ``/etc/init.d``).
In order to be used with Pacemaker, they must conform to the `LSB specification
<http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html>`_
as it relates to init scripts.
.. warning::
Some LSB scripts do not fully comply with the standard. For details on how
to check whether your script is LSB-compatible, see the "Resource Agents"
chapter of `Pacemaker Administration`. Common problems include:
* Not implementing the ``status`` action
* Not observing the correct exit status codes
* Starting a started resource returns an error
* Stopping a stopped resource returns an error
.. important::
Make sure the host is *not* configured to start any LSB services at boot
that will be controlled by the cluster.
.. index::
single: Resource; System Services
single: System Service; resources
System Services
_______________
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
.. index::
single: Resource; STONITH
single: STONITH; resources
STONITH
_______
The ``stonith`` class is used for managing fencing devices, discussed later in
:ref:`fencing`.
.. index::
single: Resource; Nagios Plugins
single: Nagios Plugins; resources
Nagios Plugins
______________
Nagios Plugins are a way to monitor services. Pacemaker can use these as
resources, to react to a change in the service's status.
To use plugins as resources, Pacemaker must have been built with support, and
OCF-style meta-data for the plugins must be installed on nodes that can run
them. Meta-data for several common plugins is provided by the
`nagios-agents-metadata <https://github.com/ClusterLabs/nagios-agents-metadata>`_
project.
The supported parameters for such a resource are same as the long options of
the plugin.
Start and monitor actions for plugin resources are implemented as invoking the
plugin. A plugin result of "OK" (0) is treated as success, a result of "WARN"
(1) is treated as a successful but degraded service, and any other result is
considered a failure.
A plugin resource is not going to change its status after recovery by
restarting the plugin, so using them alone does not make sense with ``on-fail``
set (or left to default) to ``restart``. Another value could make sense, for
example, if you want to fence or standby nodes that cannot reach some external
service.
A more common use case for plugin resources is to configure them with a
``container`` meta-attribute set to the name of another resource that actually
makes the service available, such as a virtual machine or container.
With ``container`` set, the plugin resource will automatically be colocated
with the containing resource and ordered after it, and the containing resource
will be considered failed if the plugin resource fails. This allows monitoring
of a service inside a virtual machine or container, with recovery of the
virtual machine or container if the service fails.
.. warning::
Nagios support is deprecated in Pacemaker. Support will be dropped entirely
at the next major release of Pacemaker.
For monitoring a service inside a virtual machine or container, the
recommended alternative is to configure the virtual machine as a guest node
or the container as a :ref:`bundle <s-resource-bundle>`. For other use
cases, or when the virtual machine or container image cannot be modified,
the recommended alternative is to write a custom OCF agent for the service
(which may even call the Nagios plugin as part of its status action).
.. index::
single: Resource; Upstart
single: Upstart; resources
Upstart
_______
Some Linux distributions previously used `Upstart
<https://upstart.ubuntu.com/>`_ for system initialization and service
management. Pacemaker is able to manage services using Upstart if the local
system supports them and support was enabled when your Pacemaker software was
built.
The *jobs* that specify how services are managed are usually provided by the
operating system distribution.
.. important::
Make sure the host is *not* configured to start any Upstart services at boot
that will be controlled by the cluster.
.. warning::
Upstart support is deprecated in Pacemaker. Upstart is no longer actively
maintained, and test platforms for it are no longer readily usable. Support
will be dropped entirely at the next major release of Pacemaker.

+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
The XML definition of a resource can be queried with the **crm_resource** tool.
For example:
.. code-block:: none
# crm_resource --resource Email --query-xml
might produce:
.. topic:: A system resource definition
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Email" class="service" type="exim"/>
.. note::
One of the main drawbacks to system services (LSB, systemd or
Upstart) resources is that they do not allow any parameters!
.. topic:: An OCF resource definition
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Public-IP" class="ocf" type="IPaddr" provider="heartbeat">
<instance_attributes id="Public-IP-params">
<nvpair id="Public-IP-ip" name="ip" value="192.0.2.2"/>
</instance_attributes>
</primitive>

Resource Options
################
Resources have two types of options: *meta-attributes* and *instance attributes*.
Meta-attributes apply to any type of resource, while instance attributes
are specific to each resource agent.
Resource Meta-Attributes
________________________
Meta-attributes are used by the cluster to decide how a resource should
behave and can be easily set using the ``--meta`` option of the
**crm_resource** command.

As an example of setting resource options, if you performed the following
commands on an LSB Email resource:
.. code-block:: none
# 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:
.. topic:: An LSB resource with cluster options
.. code-block:: 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 :ref:`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,
.. code-block:: none
# 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,
.. code-block:: none
# crm_resource --resource Public-IP --set-parameter ip --parameter-value 192.0.2.2
would create an entry in the resource like this:
.. topic:: An example OCF resource with instance attributes
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Public-IP" class="ocf" type="IPaddr" provider="heartbeat">
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip">
<nvpair id="public-ip-addr" name="ip" value="192.0.2.2"/>
</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.
.. topic:: Displaying the metadata for the Dummy resource agent template
.. code-block:: none
# export OCF_ROOT=/usr/lib/ocf
# $OCF_ROOT/resource.d/pacemaker/Dummy meta-data
