To simplify this configuration, we support the concept of groups. .. topic:: A group of two primitive resources .. code-block:: xml Although the example above contains only two resources, there is no limit to the number of resources a group can contain. The example is also sufficient to explain the fundamental properties of a group: * Resources are started in the order they appear in (**Public-IP** first, then **Email**) * Resources are stopped in the reverse order to which they appear in (**Email** first, then **Public-IP**) If a resource in the group can't run anywhere, then nothing after that is allowed to run, too. * If **Public-IP** can't run anywhere, neither can **Email**; * but if **Email** can't run anywhere, this does not affect **Public-IP** in any way The group above is logically equivalent to writing: .. topic:: How the cluster sees a group resource .. code-block:: xml Obviously as the group grows bigger, the reduced configuration effort can become significant. Another (typical) example of a group is a DRBD volume, the filesystem mount, an IP address, and an application that uses them. .. index:: pair: XML element; group Group Properties ________________ .. table:: **Properties of a Group Resource** +-------+--------------------------------------+ | Field | Description | +=======+======================================+ | id | .. index:: | | | single: group; property, id | | | single: property; id (group) | | | single: id; group property | | | | | | A unique name for the group | +-------+--------------------------------------+ Group Options _____________ Groups inherit the ``priority``, ``target-role``, and ``is-managed`` properties from primitive resources. See :ref:`resource_options` for information about those properties. Group Instance Attributes _________________________ Groups have no instance attributes. However, any that are set for the group object will be inherited by the group's children. Group Contents ______________ Groups may only contain a collection of cluster resources (see :ref:`primitive-resource`). To refer to a child of a group resource, just use the child's ``id`` instead of the group's. Group Constraints _________________ Although it is possible to reference a group's children in constraints, it is usually preferable to reference the group itself. .. topic:: Some constraints involving groups .. code-block:: xml .. index:: pair: resource-stickiness; group Group Stickiness ________________ Stickiness, the measure of how much a resource wants to stay where it is, is additive in groups. Every active resource of the group will contribute its stickiness value to the group's total. So if the default ``resource-stickiness`` is 100, and a group has seven members, five of which are active, then the group as a whole will prefer its current location with a score of 500. .. index:: - single: clone resource + single: clone single: resource; clone .. _s-resource-clone: Clones - Resources That Can Have Multiple Active Instances ########################################################## *Clone* resources are resources that can have more than one copy active at the same time. This allows you, for example, to run a copy of a daemon on every node. You can clone any primitive or group resource [#]_. Anonymous versus Unique Clones ______________________________ A clone resource is configured to be either *anonymous* or *globally unique*. Anonymous clones are the simplest. These behave completely identically everywhere they are running. Because of this, there can be only one instance of an anonymous clone active per node. The instances of globally unique clones are distinct entities. All instances are launched identically, but one instance of the clone is not identical to any other instance, whether running on the same node or a different node. As an example, a cloned IP address can use special kernel functionality such that each instance handles a subset of requests for the same IP address. .. index:: - single: Promotable Clone Resources + single: promotable clone single: resource; promotable .. _s-resource-promotable: Promotable clones _________________ If a clone is *promotable*, its instances can perform a special role that Pacemaker will manage via the ``promote`` and ``demote`` actions of the resource agent. Services that support such a special role have various terms for the special role and the default role: primary and secondary, master and replica, controller and worker, etc. Pacemaker uses the terms *master* and *slave* [#]_, but is agnostic to what the service calls them or what they do. All that Pacemaker cares about is that an instance comes up in the default role when started, and the resource agent supports the ``promote`` and ``demote`` actions to manage entering and exiting the special role. .. index:: pair: XML element; clone Clone Properties ________________ .. table:: **Properties of a Clone Resource** +-------+--------------------------------------+ | Field | Description | +=======+======================================+ | id | .. index:: | | | single: clone; property, id | | | single: property; id (clone) | | | single: id; clone property | | | | | | A unique name for the clone | +-------+--------------------------------------+ .. index:: pair: options; clone Clone Options _____________ :ref:`Options ` inherited from primitive resources: ``priority, target-role, is-managed`` .. table:: **Clone-specific configuration options** +-------------------+-----------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Default | Description | +===================+=================+=======================================================+ | globally-unique | false | .. index:: | | | | single: clone; option, globally-unique | | | | single: option; globally-unique (clone) | | | | single: globally-unique; clone option | | | | | | | | If **true**, each clone instance performs a | | | | distinct function | +-------------------+-----------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | clone-max | number of nodes | .. index:: | | | in the cluster | single: clone; option, clone-max | | | | single: option; clone-max (clone) | | | | single: clone-max; clone option | | | | | | | | The maximum number of clone instances that can | | | | be started across the entire cluster | +-------------------+-----------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | clone-node-max | 1 | .. index:: | | | | single: clone; option, clone-node-max | | | | single: option; clone-node-max (clone) | | | | single: clone-node-max; clone option | | | | | | | | If ``globally-unique`` is **true**, the maximum | | | | number of clone instances that can be started | | | | on a single node | +-------------------+-----------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | clone-min | 0 | .. index:: | | | | single: clone; option, clone-min | | | | single: option; clone-min (clone) | | | | single: clone-min; clone option | | | | | | | | Require at least this number of clone instances | | | | to be runnable before allowing resources | | | | depending on the clone to be runnable.

Clone Contents ______________ Clones must contain exactly one primitive or group resource. .. topic:: A clone that runs a web server on all nodes .. code-block:: xml .. warning:: You should never reference the name of a clone's child (the primitive or group resource being cloned). If you think you need to do this, you probably need to re-evaluate your design. Clone Instance Attribute ________________________ Clones have no instance attributes; however, any that are set here will be inherited by the clone's child. +.. index:: + single: clone; constraint + Clone Constraints _________________ In most cases, a clone will have a single instance on each active cluster node. If this is not the case, you can indicate which nodes the cluster should preferentially assign copies to with resource location constraints. These constraints are written no differently from those for primitive resources except that the clone's **id** is used. .. topic:: Some constraints involving clones .. code-block:: xml Ordering constraints behave slightly differently for clones. In the example above, ``apache-stats`` will wait until all copies of ``apache-clone`` that need to be started have done so before being started itself. Only if *no* copies can be started will ``apache-stats`` be prevented from being active. Additionally, the clone will wait for ``apache-stats`` to be stopped before stopping itself. Colocation of a primitive or group resource with a clone means that the resource can run on any node with an active instance of the clone. The cluster will choose an instance based on where the clone is running and the resource's own location preferences. Colocation between clones is also possible. If one clone **A** is colocated with another clone **B**, the set of allowed locations for **A** is limited to nodes on which **B** is (or will be) active. Placement is then performed normally. +.. index:: + single: promotable clone; constraint + +.. _promotable-clone-constraints: + Promotable Clone Constraints ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For promotable clone resources, the ``first-action`` and/or ``then-action`` fields for ordering constraints may be set to ``promote`` or ``demote`` to constrain the master role, and colocation constraints may contain ``rsc-role`` and/or ``with-rsc-role`` fields. -.. index:: - single: constraint; colocation - -.. table:: **Additional colocation constraint options for promotable clone resources** - - +---------------+---------+-------------------------------------------------------+ - | Field | Default | Description | - +===============+=========+=======================================================+ - | rsc-role | Started | .. index:: | - | | | single: clone; ordering constraint, rsc-role | - | | | single: ordering constraint; rsc-role (clone) | - | | | single: rsc-role; clone ordering constraint | - | | | | - | | | An additional attribute of colocation constraints | - | | | that specifies the role that ``rsc`` must be in. | - | | | Allowed values: **Started**, **Master**, **Slave**. | - +---------------+---------+-------------------------------------------------------+ - | with-rsc-role | Started | .. index:: | - | | | single: clone; ordering constraint, with-rsc-role | - | | | single: ordering constraint; with-rsc-role (clone) | - | | | single: with-rsc-role; clone ordering constraint | - | | | | - | | | An additional attribute of colocation constraints | - | | | that specifies the role that ``with-rsc`` must be in. | - | | | Allowed values: **Started**, **Master**, **Slave**. | - +---------------+---------+-------------------------------------------------------+ - .. topic:: Constraints involving promotable clone resources .. code-block:: xml In the example above, **myApp** will wait until one of the database copies has been started and promoted to master before being started itself on the same node. Only if no copies can be promoted will **myApp** be prevented from being active. Additionally, the cluster will wait for **myApp** to be stopped before demoting the database. Colocation of a primitive or group resource with a promotable clone resource means that it can run on any node with an active instance of the promotable clone resource that has the specified role (**master** or **slave**). In the example above, the cluster will choose a location based on where database is running as a **master**, and if there are multiple **master** instances it will also factor in **myApp**'s own location preferences when deciding which location to choose. Colocation with regular clones and other promotable clone resources is also possible. In such cases, the set of allowed locations for the **rsc** clone is (after role filtering) limited to nodes on which the ``with-rsc`` promotable clone resource is (or will be) in the specified role. Placement is then performed as normal.

Additionally, resources **C** and **D** must wait until **A** and **B** have been promoted before they can start. .. index:: pair: resource-stickiness; clone .. _s-clone-stickiness: Clone Stickiness ________________ To achieve a stable allocation pattern, clones are slightly sticky by default. If no value for ``resource-stickiness`` is provided, the clone will use a value of 1. Being a small value, it causes minimal disturbance to the score calculations of other resources but is enough to prevent Pacemaker from needlessly moving copies around the cluster. .. note:: For globally unique clones, this may result in multiple instances of the clone staying on a single node, even after another eligible node becomes active (for example, after being put into standby mode then made active again). If you do not want this behavior, specify a ``resource-stickiness`` of 0 for the clone temporarily and let the cluster adjust, then set it back to 1 if you want the default behavior to apply again. .. important:: If ``resource-stickiness`` is set in the ``rsc_defaults`` section, it will apply to clone instances as well. This means an explicit ``resource-stickiness`` of 0 in ``rsc_defaults`` works differently from the implicit default used when ``resource-stickiness`` is not specified. Clone Resource Agent Requirements _________________________________ Any resource can be used as an anonymous clone, as it requires no additional support from the resource agent. Whether it makes sense to do so depends on your resource and its resource agent. Resource Agent Requirements for Globally Unique Clones ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Globally unique clones require additional support in the resource agent. In particular, it must only respond with ``${OCF_SUCCESS}`` if the node has that exact instance active. All other probes for instances of the clone should result in ``${OCF_NOT_RUNNING}`` (or one of the other OCF error codes if they are failed). Individual instances of a clone are identified by appending a colon and a numerical offset, e.g. **apache:2**. Resource agents can find out how many copies there are by examining the ``OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_clone_max`` environment variable and which instance it is by examining ``OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_clone``. The resource agent must not make any assumptions (based on ``OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_clone``) about which numerical instances are active. In particular, the list of active copies will not always be an unbroken sequence, nor always start at 0. Resource Agent Requirements for Promotable Clones ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Promotable clone resources require two extra actions, ``demote`` and ``promote``, which are responsible for changing the state of the resource. Like **start** and **stop**, they should return ``${OCF_SUCCESS}`` if they completed successfully or a relevant error code if they did not. The states can mean whatever you wish, but when the resource is started, it must come up in the mode called **slave**. From there the cluster will decide which instances to promote to **master**. In addition to the clone requirements for monitor actions, agents must also *accurately* report which state they are in. The cluster relies on the agent to report its status (including role) accurately and does not indicate to the agent what role it currently believes it to be in. .. table:: **Role implications of OCF return codes** +---------------------+------------------------------------------------+ | Monitor Return Code | Description | +=====================+================================================+ | OCF_NOT_RUNNING | .. index:: | | | single: OCF_NOT_RUNNING | | | single: OCF return code;

resource, because Pacemaker needs to verify not only that the resource is active, but also that its actual role matches its intended one. Define two monitoring actions: the usual one will cover the slave role, and an additional one with ``role="master"`` will cover the master role. .. topic:: Monitoring both states of a promotable clone resource .. code-block:: xml .. important:: It is crucial that *every* monitor operation has a different interval! Pacemaker currently differentiates between operations only by resource and interval; so if (for example) a promotable clone resource had the same monitor interval for both roles, Pacemaker would ignore the role when checking the status -- which would cause unexpected return codes, and therefore unnecessary complications. .. _s-promotion-scores: Determining Which Instance is Promoted ______________________________________ Pacemaker can choose a promotable clone instance to be promoted in one of two ways: * Promotion scores: These are node attributes set via the ``crm_master`` utility, which generally would be called by the resource agent's start action if it supports promotable clones. This tool automatically detects both the resource and host, and should be used to set a preference for being promoted. Based on this, ``promoted-max``, and ``promoted-node-max``, the instance(s) with the highest preference will be promoted. * Constraints: Location constraints can indicate which nodes are most preferred as masters. .. topic:: Explicitly preferring node1 to be promoted to master .. code-block:: xml .. index: single: bundle resource single: resource; bundle pair: container; Docker pair: container; podman pair: container; rkt .. _s-resource-bundle: Bundles - Isolated Environments ############################### Pacemaker supports a special syntax for launching a `container `_ with any infrastructure it requires: the *bundle*.

For Docker and podman bundles, adding "Z" to the mount options will create a container-specific label for the mount that allows the container access. .. index:: single: resource; bundle Bundle Primitive ________________ A bundle may optionally contain one :ref:`primitive ` resource. The primitive may have operations, instance attributes, and meta-attributes defined, as usual. If a bundle contains a primitive resource, the container image must include the Pacemaker Remote daemon, and at least one of ``ip-range-start`` or ``control-port`` must be configured in the bundle. Pacemaker will create an implicit **ocf:pacemaker:remote** resource for the connection, launch Pacemaker Remote within the container, and monitor and manage the primitive resource via Pacemaker Remote. If the bundle has more than one container instance (replica), the primitive resource will function as an implicit :ref:`clone ` -- a :ref:`promotable clone ` if the bundle has ``promoted-max`` greater than zero. .. note:: If you want to pass environment variables to a bundle's Pacemaker Remote connection or primitive, you have two options: * Environment variables whose value is the same regardless of the underlying host may be set using the container element's ``options`` attribute. * If you want variables to have host-specific values, you can use the :ref:`storage-mapping ` element to map a file on the host as ``/etc/pacemaker/pcmk-init.env`` in the container *(since 2.0.3)*. Pacemaker Remote will parse this file as a shell-like format, with variables set as NAME=VALUE, ignoring blank lines and comments starting with "#". .. important:: When a bundle has a ``primitive``, Pacemaker on all cluster nodes must be able to contact Pacemaker Remote inside the bundle's containers. * The containers must have an accessible network (for example, ``network`` should not be set to "none" with a ``primitive``). * The default, using a distinct network space inside the container, works in combination with ``ip-range-start``. Any firewall must allow access from all cluster nodes to the ``control-port`` on the container IPs. * If the container shares the host's network space (for example, by setting ``network`` to "host"), a unique ``control-port`` should be specified for each bundle. Any firewall must allow access from all cluster nodes to the ``control-port`` on all cluster and remote node IPs. .. index:: single: resource; bundle .. _s-bundle-attributes: Bundle Node Attributes ______________________ If the bundle has a ``primitive``, the primitive's resource agent may want to set node attributes such as :ref:`promotion scores `. However, with containers, it is not apparent which node should get the attribute. If the container uses shared storage that is the same no matter which node the container is hosted on, then it is appropriate to use the promotion score on the bundle node itself. On the other hand, if the container uses storage exported from the underlying host, then it may be more appropriate to use the promotion score on the underlying host. Since this depends on the particular situation, the ``container-attribute-target`` resource meta-attribute allows the user to specify which approach to use. If it is set to ``host``, then user-defined node attributes will be checked on the underlying host. If it is anything else, the local node (in this case the bundle node) is used as usual. This only applies to user-defined attributes; the cluster will always check the local node for cluster-defined attributes such as ``#uname``. If ``container-attribute-target`` is ``host``, the cluster will pass additional environment variables to the primitive's resource agent that allow it to set node attributes appropriately: ``CRM_meta_container_attribute_target`` (identical to the meta-attribute value) and ``CRM_meta_physical_host`` (the name of the underlying host). .. note:: When called by a resource agent, the ``attrd_updater`` and ``crm_attribute`` commands will automatically check those environment variables and set attributes appropriately. .. index:: single: resource; bundle Bundle Meta-Attributes ______________________ Any meta-attribute set on a bundle will be inherited by the bundle's primitive and any resources implicitly created by Pacemaker for the bundle. This includes options such as ``priority``, ``target-role``, and ``is-managed``. See :ref:`resource_options` for more information. Limitations of Bundles ______________________ Restarting pacemaker while a bundle is unmanaged or the cluster is in maintenance mode may cause the bundle to fail. Bundles may not be explicitly cloned or included in groups. This includes the bundle's primitive and any resources implicitly created by Pacemaker for the bundle. (If ``replicas`` is greater than 1, the bundle will behave like a clone implicitly.) Bundles do not have instance attributes, utilization attributes, or operations, though a bundle's primitive may have them. A bundle with a primitive can run on a Pacemaker Remote node only if the bundle uses a distinct ``control-port``. .. [#] Of course, the service must support running multiple instances. .. [#] These are historical terms that will eventually be replaced, but the extensive use of them and the need for backward compatibility makes it a long process. You may see examples using a **master** tag instead of a **clone** tag with the **promotable** meta-attribute set to **true**; the **master** tag is supported, but deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. You may also see such services referred to as *multi-state* or *stateful*; these mean the same thing as *promotable*. .. [#] Docker is a trademark of Docker, Inc.

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). .. _location-constraint: .. index:: single: location constraint single: constraint; location Deciding Which Nodes a Resource Can Run On ########################################## *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. .. index:: pair: XML element; rsc_location - single: constraint; location single: constraint; rsc_location Location Properties ___________________ .. table:: **Attributes of a rsc_location Element** +--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attribute | Default | Description | +====================+=========+==============================================================================================+ | id | | .. index:: | | | | single: rsc_location; attribute, id | | | | single: attribute; id (rsc_location) | | | | single: id; rsc_location attribute | | | | | | | | A unique name for the constraint (required) | +--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | rsc | | .. index:: | | | | single: rsc_location; attribute, rsc | | | | single: attribute; rsc (rsc_location) | | | | single: rsc; rsc_location attribute | | | | | | | | The name of the resource to which this constraint | | | | applies.

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 [#]_. 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 -`Colocation Explained `_. - .. important:: Colocation constraints affect *only* the placement of resources; they do *not* require that the resources be started in a particular order.

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: .. topic:: Mandatory colocation constraint for two resources .. code-block:: xml 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"``. .. topic:: Mandatory anti-colocation constraint for two resources .. code-block:: xml 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. .. topic:: Advisory colocation constraint for two resources .. code-block:: xml .. _s-coloc-attribute: Colocation by Node Attribute ____________________________ The ``node-attribute`` property of a colocation constraints allows you to express the requirement, "these resources must be on similar nodes". As an example, imagine that you have two Storage Area Networks (SANs) that are not controlled by the cluster, and each node is connected to one or the other. You may have two resources **r1** and **r2** such that **r2** needs to use the same SAN as **r1**, but doesn't necessarily have to be on the same exact node. In such a case, you could define a :ref:`node attribute ` named **san**, with the value **san1** or **san2** on each node as appropriate. Then, you could colocate **r2** with **r1** using ``node-attribute`` set to **san**. +.. _s-coloc-influence: + +Colocation Influence +____________________ + +If A is colocated with B, the cluster will take into account A's preferences +when deciding where to place B, to maximize the chance that both resources can +run. + +For a detailed look at exactly how this occurs, see +`Colocation Explained `_. + + .. _s-resource-sets: Resource Sets ############# .. index:: single: constraint; resource set single: resource; resource set *Resource sets* allow multiple resources to be affected by a single constraint. .. topic:: A set of 3 resources .. code-block:: xml Resource sets are valid inside ``rsc_location``, ``rsc_order`` (see :ref:`s-resource-sets-ordering`), ``rsc_colocation`` (see :ref:`s-resource-sets-colocation`), and ``rsc_ticket`` (see :ref:`ticket-constraints`) constraints.

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 sets of resources to be ordered relative to each other, where the members of each individual set may be ordered or unordered (controlled by the ``sequential`` property). 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. .. topic:: Ordered sets of unordered resources .. code-block:: xml .. topic:: Visual representation of the start order for two ordered sets of unordered resources .. image:: images/two-sets.png :alt: Two ordered sets 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. .. topic:: Advanced use of set ordering - Three ordered sets, two of which are internally unordered .. code-block:: xml .. topic:: Visual representation of the start order for the three sets defined above .. image:: images/three-sets.png :alt: Three ordered sets .. 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. .. topic:: Resource Set "OR" logic: Three ordered sets, where the first set is internally unordered with "OR" logic .. code-block:: xml .. 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. The simplest way to do this is to define a resource group (see :ref:`group-resources`), but that cannot always accurately express the desired relationships. For example, maybe the resources do not need to be ordered. Another way would be to define each relationship as an individual constraint, but that causes a difficult-to-follow constraint explosion as the number of resources and combinations grow. .. topic:: Colocation chain as individual constraints, where A is placed first, then B, then C, then D .. code-block:: xml To express complicated relationships with a simplified syntax [#]_, :ref:`resource sets ` can be used within colocation constraints. .. topic:: Equivalent colocation chain expressed using **resource_set** .. code-block:: xml .. note:: Within a ``resource_set``, the resources are listed in the order they are *placed*, which is the reverse of the order in which they are *colocated*. In the above example, resource **A** is placed before resource **B**, which is the same as saying resource **B** is colocated with resource **A**. As with individual constraints, a resource that can't be active prevents any resource that must be colocated with it from being active. In both of the two previous examples, if **B** is unable to run, then both **C** and by inference **D** must remain stopped. .. 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**. Resource sets can also be used to tell the cluster that entire *sets* of resources must be colocated relative to each other, while the individual members within any one set may or may not be colocated relative to each other (determined by the set's ``sequential`` property). In the following example, resources **B**, **C**, and **D** will each be colocated with **A** (which will be placed first). **A** must be able to run in order for any of the resources to run, but any of **B**, **C**, or **D** may be stopped without affecting any of the others. .. topic:: Using colocated sets to specify a shared dependency .. code-block:: xml .. note:: Pay close attention to the order in which resources and sets are listed. While the members of any one sequential set are placed first to last (i.e., the colocation dependency is last with first), multiple sets are placed last to first (i.e. the colocation dependency is first with last). .. 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 before it must also be active. If desired, you can restrict the dependency to instances of promotable clone resources that are in a specific role, using the set's ``role`` property. .. topic:: Colocation in which the members of the middle set have no interdependencies, and the last set listed applies only to instances in the master role .. code-block:: xml .. topic:: Visual representation of the above example (resources are placed from left to right) .. image:: ../shared/images/pcmk-colocated-sets.png :alt: Colocation chain .. note:: Unlike ordered sets, colocated sets do not use the ``require-all`` option. .. [#] 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. ..
