= Reusing Parts of the Configuration =
Pacemaker provides multiple ways to simplify the configuration XML by reusing
parts of it in multiple places.
Besides simplifying the XML, this also allows you to manipulate multiple
configuration elements with a single reference.
== Reusing Resource Definitions ==
If you want to create lots of resources with similar configurations, defining a
'resource template' simplifies the task. Once defined, it can be referenced in
primitives or in certain types of constraints.
=== Configuring Resources with Templates ===
The primitives referencing the template will inherit all meta-attributes,
instance attributes, utilization attributes and operations defined
in the template. And you can define specific attributes and operations for any
of the primitives. If any of these are defined in both the template and the
primitive, the values defined in the primitive will take precedence over the
ones defined in the template.
Hence, resource templates help to reduce the amount of configuration work.
If any changes are needed, they can be done to the template definition and
will take effect globally in all resource definitions referencing that
template.
Resource templates have a syntax similar to that of primitives.

Once you define a resource template, you can use it in primitives by specifying the
+template+ property.

In the example above, the new primitive +vm1+ will inherit everything from +vm-template+. For
example, the equivalent of the above two examples would be:

If you want to overwrite some attributes or operations, add them to the
particular primitive's definition.

In the example above, the new primitive +vm2+ has special
attribute values. Its +monitor+ operation has a longer +timeout+ and +interval+, and
the primitive has an additional +stop+ operation.
To see the resulting definition of a resource, run:

# crm_resource --query-xml --resource vm2
----
To see the raw definition of a resource in the CIB, run:

# crm_resource --query-xml-raw --resource vm2

=== Using Templates in Constraints ===
A resource template can be referenced in the following types of constraints:
- +order+ constraints (see <>)
- +colocation+ constraints (see <>)
- +rsc_ticket+ constraints (for multi-site clusters as described in <>)
Resource templates referenced in constraints stand for all primitives which are
derived from that template. This means, the constraint applies to all primitive
resources referencing the resource template. Referencing resource templates in
constraints is an alternative to resource sets and can simplify the cluster
configuration considerably.
For example, given the example templates earlier in this chapter:
[source,XML]
would colocate all VMs with +base-rsc+ and is the equivalent of the following constraint configuration:
[source,XML]
----
----
[NOTE]
======
In a colocation constraint, only one template may be referenced from either
`rsc` or `with-rsc`; the other reference must be a regular resource.
======
=== Using Templates in Resource Sets ===
Resource templates can also be referenced in resource sets.
For example, given the example templates earlier in this section, then:
[source,XML]
----
----
is the equivalent of the following constraint using a sequential resource set:
[source,XML]
----
----
Or, if the resources referencing the template can run in parallel, then:
[source,XML]
----
----
is the equivalent of the following constraint configuration:
[source,XML]

== Reusing Rules, Options and Sets of Operations ==
Sometimes a number of constraints need to use the same set of rules,
and resources need to set the same options and parameters. To
simplify this situation, you can refer to an existing object using an
+id-ref+ instead of an +id+.
So if for one resource you have
[source,XML]
------
------
Then instead of duplicating the rule for all your other resources, you can instead specify:
.Referencing rules from other constraints
=====
[source,XML]
-------
-------
=====
[IMPORTANT]
===========
The cluster will insist that the +rule+ exists somewhere. Attempting
to add a reference to a non-existing rule will cause a validation
failure, as will attempting to remove a +rule+ that is referenced
elsewhere.
===========
The same principle applies for +meta_attributes+ and
+instance_attributes+ as illustrated in the example below:
.Referencing attributes, options, and operations from other resources

+== Tagging Configuration Elements ==
+
+Pacemaker allows you to 'tag' any configuration element that has an XML ID.
+
+The main purpose of tagging is to support higher-level user interface tools;
+Pacemaker itself only uses tags within constraints. Therefore, what you can
+do with tags mostly depends on the tools you use.
+
+=== Configuring Tags ===
+
+A tag is simply a named list of XML IDs.
+
+.Tag referencing three resources
+====
+[source,XML]
+----
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+----
+====
+
+What you can do with this new tag depends on what your higher-level tools
+support. For example, a tool might allow you to enable or disable all of
+the tagged resources at once, or show the status of just the tagged
+resources.
+
+A single configuration element can be listed in any number of tags.
+
+=== Using Tags in Constraints and Resource Sets ===
+
+Pacemaker itself only uses tags in constraints. If you supply a tag name
+instead of a resource name in any constraint, the constraint will apply to
+all resources listed in that tag.
+

+
+In the example above, assuming the +all-vms+ tag is defined as in the previous
+example, the constraint will behave the same as:
+
+.Equivalent constraints without tags
+====

+
+
+
+----
+====
+
+A tag may be used directly in the constraint, or indirectly by being
+listed in a <> used in the constraint.
+When used in a resource set, an expanded tag will honor the set's
++sequential+ property.
