= Resource Constraints =
indexterm:[Resource,Constraints]
== Scores ==
Scores of all kinds are integral to how the cluster works.
Practically everything from moving a resource to deciding which
resource to stop in a degraded cluster is achieved by manipulating
scores in some way.
Scores are calculated per resource and node. Any node with a
negative score for a resource can't run that resource. The cluster
places a resource on the node with the highest score for it.
=== Infinity Math ===
Pacemaker implements +INFINITY+ (or equivalently, ++INFINITY+) internally as a
score of 1,000,000. Addition and subtraction with it follow these three basic
rules:
* Any value + +INFINITY+ = +INFINITY+
* Any value - +INFINITY+ = +-INFINITY+
* +INFINITY+ - +INFINITY+ = +-INFINITY+
[NOTE]
======
What if you want to use a score higher than 1,000,000? Typically this possibility
arises when someone wants to base the score on some external metric that might
go above 1,000,000.
The short answer is you can't.
The long answer is it is sometimes possible work around this limitation
creatively. You may be able to set the score to some computed value based on
the external metric rather than use the metric directly. For nodes, you can
store the metric as a node attribute, and query the attribute when computing
the score (possibly as part of a custom resource agent).
======
== Deciding Which Nodes a Resource Can Run On ==
indexterm:[Location Constraints]
indexterm:[Resource,Constraints,Location]
'Location constraints' tell the cluster which nodes a resource can run on.
There are two alternative strategies. One way is to say that, by default,
resources can run anywhere, and then the location constraints specify nodes
that are not allowed (an 'opt-out' cluster). The other way is to start with
nothing able to run anywhere, and use location constraints to selectively
enable allowed nodes (an 'opt-in' cluster).
Whether you should choose opt-in or opt-out depends on your
personal preference and the make-up of your cluster. If most of your
resources can run on most of the nodes, then an opt-out arrangement is
likely to result in a simpler configuration. On the other-hand, if
most resources can only run on a small subset of nodes, an opt-in
configuration might be simpler.

|resource-discovery
|always
|Whether Pacemaker should perform resource discovery (that is, check whether
the resource is already running) for this resource on this node. This should
normally be left as the default, so that rogue instances of a service can be
stopped when they are running where they are not supposed to be. However,
there are two situations where disabling resource discovery is a good idea:
when a service is not installed on a node, discovery might return an error
(properly written OCF agents will not, so this is usually only seen with other
agent types); and when Pacemaker Remote is used to scale a cluster to hundreds
of nodes, limiting resource discovery to allowed nodes can significantly boost
- performance.
+ performance. '(since 1.1.13)'
* +always:+ Always perform resource discovery for the specified resource on this node.
* +never:+ Never perform resource discovery for the specified resource on this node.
This option should generally be used with a -INFINITY score, although that is not strictly
required.
* +exclusive:+ Perform resource discovery for the specified resource only on
this node (and other nodes similarly marked as +exclusive+). Multiple location
constraints using +exclusive+ discovery for the same resource across
different nodes creates a subset of nodes resource-discovery is exclusive to.
If a resource is marked for +exclusive+ discovery on one or more nodes, that
resource is only allowed to be placed within that subset of nodes.
indexterm:[Resource Discovery,Location Constraints]
indexterm:[Constraints,Location,Resource Discovery]
|=========================================================
[WARNING]
=========
Setting resource-discovery to +never+ or +exclusive+ removes Pacemaker's
ability to detect and stop unwanted instances of a service running
where it's not supposed to be. It is up to the system administrator (you!)
to make sure that the service can 'never' be active on nodes without
resource-discovery (such as by leaving the relevant software uninstalled).

=== Asymmetrical "Opt-In" Clusters ===
indexterm:[Asymmetrical Opt-In Clusters]
indexterm:[Cluster Type,Asymmetrical Opt-In]
To create an opt-in cluster, start by preventing resources from
running anywhere by default:
----
# crm_attribute --name symmetric-cluster --update false
----
Then start enabling nodes. The following fragment says that the web
server prefers *sles-1*, the database prefers *sles-2* and both can
fail over to *sles-3* if their most preferred node fails.

To create an opt-out cluster, start by allowing resources to run

----
Then start disabling nodes. The following fragment is the equivalent
of the above opt-in configuration.

<rsc_location id="loc-4" rsc="Database" node="sles-2" score="200"/>
</constraints>

======
[[node-score-equal]]
=== What if Two Nodes Have the Same Score ===
If two nodes have the same score, then the cluster will choose one.
This choice may seem random and may not be what was intended, however
the cluster was not given enough information to know any better.
.Constraints where a resource prefers two nodes equally
======
[source,XML]
-------
<constraints>
<rsc_location id="loc-1" rsc="Webserver" node="sles-1" score="INFINITY"/>
<rsc_location id="loc-2" rsc="Webserver" node="sles-2" score="INFINITY"/>
<rsc_location id="loc-3" rsc="Database" node="sles-1" score="500"/>
<rsc_location id="loc-4" rsc="Database" node="sles-2" score="300"/>
<rsc_location id="loc-5" rsc="Database" node="sles-2" score="200"/>
</constraints>
-------
======
In the example above, assuming no other constraints and an inactive
cluster, +Webserver+ would probably be placed on +sles-1+ and +Database+ on
+sles-2+. It would likely have placed +Webserver+ based on the node's
uname and +Database+ based on the desire to spread the resource load
evenly across the cluster. However other factors can also be involved
in more complex configurations.
[[s-resource-ordering]]
== Specifying the Order in which Resources Should Start/Stop ==
indexterm:[Resource,Constraints,Ordering]
indexterm:[Resource,Start Order]
indexterm:[Ordering Constraints]
'Ordering constraints' tell the cluster the order in which resources should
start.
[IMPORTANT]
====
Ordering constraints affect 'only' the ordering of resources;
they do 'not' require that the resources be placed on the
same node. If you want resources to be started on the same node
'and' in a specific order, you need both an ordering constraint 'and'
a colocation constraint (see <<s-resource-colocation>>), or
alternatively, a group (see <<group-resources>>).

not be allowed to performed +then-action+. If +first+ is restarted, +then+
(if running) will be stopped beforehand and started afterward.
* +Serialize:+ Ensure that no two stop/start actions occur concurrently
for the resources. +First+ and +then+ can start in either order,
but one must complete starting before the other can be started. A typical use
case is when resource start-up puts a high load on the host.
indexterm:[kind,Ordering Constraints]
indexterm:[Constraints,Ordering,kind]
|symmetrical
|TRUE
|If true, the reverse of the constraint applies for the opposite action (for
example, if B starts after A starts, then B stops before A stops).

|=========================================================
+Promote+ and +demote+ apply to the master role of
<<s-resource-multistate,multi-state>> resources.
=== Optional and mandatory ordering ===
Here is an example of ordering constraints where +Database+ 'must' start before
+Webserver+, and +IP+ 'should' start before +Webserver+ if they both need to be
started:
.Optional and mandatory ordering constraints
======
[source,XML]
-------
<constraints>
<rsc_order id="order-1" first="IP" then="Webserver" kind="Optional"/>
<rsc_order id="order-2" first="Database" then="Webserver" kind="Mandatory" />
</constraints>
-------
======
Because the above example lets +symmetrical+ default to TRUE,
+Webserver+ must be stopped before +Database+ can be stopped,
and +Webserver+ should be stopped before +IP+
if they both need to be stopped.
[[s-resource-colocation]]
== Placing Resources Relative to other Resources ==
indexterm:[Resource,Constraints,Colocation]
indexterm:[Resource,Location Relative to other Resources]
'Colocation constraints' tell the cluster that the location of one resource
depends on the location of another one.
Colocation has an important side-effect: it affects the order in which
resources are assigned to a node. Think about it: You can't place A relative to
B unless you know where B is.
footnote:[
While the human brain is sophisticated enough to read the constraint
in any order and choose the correct one depending on the situation,
the cluster is not quite so smart. Yet.
]
So when you are creating colocation constraints, it is important to
consider whether you should colocate A with B, or B with A.
Another thing to keep in mind is that, assuming A is colocated with
B, the cluster will take into account A's preferences when
deciding which node to choose for B.
For a detailed look at exactly how this occurs, see
http://clusterlabs.org/doc/Colocation_Explained.pdf[Colocation Explained].
[IMPORTANT]
====
Colocation constraints affect 'only' the placement of resources; they do 'not'
require that the resources be started in a particular order. If you want
resources to be started on the same node 'and' in a specific order, you need
both an ordering constraint (see <<s-resource-ordering>>) 'and' a colocation
constraint, or alternatively, a group (see <<group-resources>>).

node. Negative values indicate the resources should run on
different nodes. Values of \+/- +INFINITY+ change "should" to "must".
indexterm:[score,Colocation Constraints]
indexterm:[Constraints,Colocation,score]
|=========================================================
=== Mandatory Placement ===
Mandatory placement occurs when the constraint's score is
++INFINITY+ or +-INFINITY+. In such cases, if the constraint can't be
satisfied, then the +rsc+ resource is not permitted to run. For
+score=INFINITY+, this includes cases where the +with-rsc+ resource is
not active.
If you need resource +A+ to always run on the same machine as
resource +B+, you would add the following constraint:
.Mandatory colocation constraint for two resources
====
[source,XML]
<rsc_colocation id="colocate" rsc="A" with-rsc="B" score="INFINITY"/>
====
Remember, because +INFINITY+ was used, if +B+ can't run on any
of the cluster nodes (for whatever reason) then +A+ will not
be allowed to run. Whether +A+ is running or not has no effect on +B+.
Alternatively, you may want the opposite -- that +A+ 'cannot'
run on the same machine as +B+. In this case, use
+score="-INFINITY"+.
.Mandatory anti-colocation constraint for two resources
====
[source,XML]
<rsc_colocation id="anti-colocate" rsc="A" with-rsc="B" score="-INFINITY"/>
====
Again, by specifying +-INFINITY+, the constraint is binding. So if the
only place left to run is where +B+ already is, then
+A+ may not run anywhere.
As with +INFINITY+, +B+ can run even if +A+ is stopped.
However, in this case +A+ also can run if +B+ is stopped, because it still
meets the constraint of +A+ and +B+ not running on the same node.
=== Advisory Placement ===
If mandatory placement is about "must" and "must not", then advisory
placement is the "I'd prefer if" alternative. For constraints with
scores greater than +-INFINITY+ and less than +INFINITY+, the cluster
will try to accommodate your wishes but may ignore them if the
alternative is to stop some of the cluster resources.
As in life, where if enough people prefer something it effectively
becomes mandatory, advisory colocation constraints can combine with
other elements of the configuration to behave as if they were
mandatory.

== Ordering Sets of Resources ==
A common situation is for an administrator to create a chain of
ordered resources, such as:
.A chain of ordered resources
======
[source,XML]
-------
<constraints>
<rsc_order id="order-1" first="A" then="B" />
<rsc_order id="order-2" first="B" then="C" />
<rsc_order id="order-3" first="C" then="D" />
</constraints>
-------
======
.Visual representation of the four resources' start order for the above constraints
image::images/resource-set.png["Ordered set",width="16cm",height="2.5cm",align="center"]
=== Ordered Set ===
To simplify this situation, resource sets (see <<s-resource-sets>>) can be used
within ordering constraints:
.A chain of ordered resources expressed as a set
======
[source,XML]
-------
<constraints>
<rsc_order id="order-1">
<resource_set id="ordered-set-example" sequential="true">
<resource_ref id="A"/>
<resource_ref id="B"/>
<resource_ref id="C"/>
<resource_ref id="D"/>
</resource_set>
</rsc_order>
</constraints>
-------
======
While the set-based format is not less verbose, it is significantly
easier to get right and maintain.
[IMPORTANT]
=========
If you use a higher-level tool, pay attention to how it exposes this
functionality. Depending on the tool, creating a set +A B+ may be equivalent to
+A then B+, or +B then A+.
=========
=== Ordering Multiple Sets ===
The syntax can be expanded to allow
ordered sets of (un)ordered resources. In the example below, +A+
and +B+ can both start in parallel, as can +C+ and +D+,
however +C+ and +D+ can only start once _both_ +A+ _and_
+B+ are active.

.Visual representation of the start order for two ordered sets of unordered resources
image::images/two-sets.png["Two ordered sets",width="13cm",height="7.5cm",align="center"]
Of course either set -- or both sets -- of resources can also be
internally ordered (by setting +sequential="true"+) and there is no
limit to the number of sets that can be specified.

[IMPORTANT]
====
An ordered set with +sequential=false+ makes sense only if there is another
set in the constraint. Otherwise, the constraint has no effect.
====
=== Resource Set OR Logic ===
The unordered set logic discussed so far has all been "AND" logic.
To illustrate this take the 3 resource set figure in the previous section.
Those sets can be expressed, +(A and B) then \(C) then (D) then (E and F)+.
Say for example we want to change the first set, +(A and B)+, to use "OR" logic
so the sets look like this: +(A or B) then \(C) then (D) then (E and F)+.
This functionality can be achieved through the use of the +require-all+
option. This option defaults to TRUE which is why the
"AND" logic is used by default. Setting +require-all=false+ means only one
resource in the set needs to be started before continuing on to the next set.
.Resource Set "OR" logic: Three ordered sets, where the first set is internally unordered with "OR" logic
======
[source,XML]
-------
<constraints>
<rsc_order id="order-1">
<resource_set id="ordered-set-1" sequential="false" require-all="false">

<resource_ref id="B"/>
</resource_set>
<resource_set id="ordered-set-2" sequential="true">
<resource_ref id="C"/>
<resource_ref id="D"/>
</resource_set>
<resource_set id="ordered-set-3" sequential="false">
<resource_ref id="E"/>
<resource_ref id="F"/>
</resource_set>
</rsc_order>
</constraints>
-------
======
[IMPORTANT]
====
An ordered set with +require-all=false+ makes sense only in conjunction with
+sequential=false+. Think of it like this: +sequential=false+ modifies the set
to be an unordered set using "AND" logic by default, and adding
+require-all=false+ flips the unordered set's "AND" logic to "OR" logic.
====
[[s-resource-sets-colocation]]
== Colocating Sets of Resources ==
Another common situation is for an administrator to create a set of
colocated resources.
One way to do this would be to define a resource group (see
<<group-resources>>), but that cannot always accurately express the desired
state.
Another way would be to define each relationship as an individual constraint,
but that causes a constraint explosion as the number of resources and
combinations grow. An example of this approach:
.Chain of colocated resources
======
[source,XML]
-------
<constraints>
<rsc_colocation id="coloc-1" rsc="D" with-rsc="C" score="INFINITY"/>
<rsc_colocation id="coloc-2" rsc="C" with-rsc="B" score="INFINITY"/>
<rsc_colocation id="coloc-3" rsc="B" with-rsc="A" score="INFINITY"/>
</constraints>
-------
======
To make things easier, resource sets (see <<s-resource-sets>>) can be used
within colocation constraints. As with the chained version, a
resource that can't be active prevents any resource that must be
colocated with it from being active. For example, if +B+ is not
able to run, then both +C+ and by inference +D+ must also remain
stopped. Here is an example +resource_set+:
.Equivalent colocation chain expressed using +resource_set+
======
[source,XML]
-------
<constraints>
<rsc_colocation id="coloc-1" score="INFINITY" >
<resource_set id="colocated-set-example" sequential="true">
<resource_ref id="A"/>
<resource_ref id="B"/>
<resource_ref id="C"/>
<resource_ref id="D"/>
</resource_set>
</rsc_colocation>
</constraints>
-------
======
[IMPORTANT]
=========
If you use a higher-level tool, pay attention to how it exposes this
functionality. Depending on the tool, creating a set +A B+ may be equivalent to
+A with B+, or +B with A+.
=========
This notation can also be used to tell the cluster
that a set of resources must all be located with a common peer, but
have no dependencies on each other. In this scenario, unlike the
previous, +B+ 'would' be allowed to remain active even if +A+ or +C+ (or
both) were inactive.
.Using colocated sets to specify a common peer
======

</resource_set>
</rsc_colocation>
</constraints>
-------
======
[IMPORTANT]
====
A colocated set with +sequential=false+ makes sense only if there is another
set in the constraint. Otherwise, the constraint has no effect.
====
There is no inherent limit to the number and size of the sets used.
The only thing that matters is that in order for any member of one set
in the constraint to be active, all members of sets listed after it must also
be active (and naturally on the same node); and if a set has +sequential="true"+,
then in order for one member of that set to be active, all members listed after it
must also be active. You can even specify the role in which the members of a set
must be in using the set's +role+ attribute.
