Pacemaker currently functions equally well with both stacks. Here are some factors that may influence the decision: * SUSE/Novell, Red Hat and Oracle are all putting their collective weight behind the Corosync cluster stack. indexterm:[Cluster Stack,Corosync] indexterm:[Corosync] * Using Corosync gives your applications access to the following additional cluster services ** distributed locking service ** extended virtual synchronization service ** cluster closed process group service * It is likely that Pacemaker, at some point in the future, will make use of some of these additional services not provided by Heartbeat indexterm:[Cluster Stack,Heartbeat] indexterm:[Heartbeat] === Enabling Pacemaker === ==== For Corosync ==== The Corosync configuration is normally located in '/etc/corosync/corosync.conf' and an example for a machine with an address of +1.2.3.4+ in a cluster communicating on port 1234 (without peer authentication and message encryption) is shown below. .An example Corosync configuration file [source,XML] ------- totem { version: 2 secauth: off threads: 0 interface { ringnumber: 0 bindnetaddr: 1.2.3.4 mcastaddr: 239.255.1.1 mcastport: 1234 } } logging { fileline: off to_syslog: yes syslog_facility: daemon } amf { mode: disabled } ------- The logging should be mostly obvious and the amf section refers to the Availability Management Framework and is not covered in this document. The interesting part of the configuration is the totem section. This is where we define how the node can communicate with the rest of the cluster and what protocol version and options (including encryption footnote:[ Please consult the Corosync website (http://www.corosync.org/) and documentation for details on enabling encryption and peer authentication for the cluster. ] ) it should use. Beginners are encouraged to use the values shown and modify the interface section based on their network. It is also possible to configure Corosync for an IPv6 based environment. Simply configure +bindnetaddr+ and +mcastaddr+ with their IPv6 equivalents, eg. .Example options for an IPv6 environment [source,Bash] ------- bindnetaddr: fec0::1:a800:4ff:fe00:20 mcastaddr: ff05::1 ------- To tell Corosync to use the Pacemaker cluster manager, add the following fragment to a functional Corosync configuration and restart the cluster. .Configuration fragment for enabling Pacemaker under Corosync [source,XML] ------- aisexec { user: root group: root } service { name: pacemaker ver: 0 } ------- The cluster needs to be run as root so that its child processes (the +lrmd+ in particular) have sufficient privileges to perform the actions requested of it. After all, a cluster manager that can't add an IP address or start apache is of little use.

Perform a rolling upgrade from Heartbeat 2.0.4 to Heartbeat 2.1.3 . Perform a rolling upgrade from Heartbeat 2.1.3 to Pacemaker 0.6.6 === Disconnect and Reattach === A variant of a complete cluster shutdown, but the resources are left active and get re-detected when the cluster is restarted. ==== Procedure ==== .

So if your resource was last started at 14:32 and you have a backup set to be performed every 24 hours, then the backup will always run at in the middle of the business day - hardly desirable. To specify a date/time that the operation should be relative to, set the operation's +interval-origin+. The cluster uses this point to calculate the correct +start-delay+ such that the operation will occur at _origin + (interval * N)_. So, if the operation's interval is 24h, it's interval-origin is set to +02:00+ and it is currently +14:32+, then the cluster would initiate the operation with a start delay of 11 hours and 28 minutes. If the resource is moved to another node before 2am, then the operation is of course cancelled. The value specified for interval and +interval-origin+ can be any date/time conforming to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601[ISO8601 standard]. By way of example, to specify an operation that would run on the first Monday of 2009 and every Monday after that you would add: .Specifying a Base for Recurring Action Intervals ===== [source,XML] ===== == Moving Resources == indexterm:[Moving Resources] indexterm:[Resource,Moving] === Manual Intervention === There are primarily two occasions when you would want to move a resource from it's current location: when the whole node is under maintenance, and when a single resource needs to be moved. Since everything eventually comes down to a score, you could create constraints for every resource to prevent them from running on one node. While the configuration can seem convoluted at times, not even we would require this of administrators. Instead one can set a special node attribute which tells the cluster "don't let anything run here". There is even a helpful tool to help query and set it, called `crm_standby`. To check the standby status of the current machine, simply run: [source,C] # crm_standby --get-value A value of +true+ indicates that the node is _NOT_ able to host any resources, while a value of +false+ says that it _CAN_. You can also check the status of other nodes in the cluster by specifying the `--node-uname` option: [source,C] # crm_standby --get-value --node-uname sles-2 To change the current node's standby status, use `--attr-value` instead of `--get-value`. [source,C] # crm_standby --attr-value Again, you can change another host's value by supplying a host name with `--node-uname`. When only one resource is required to move, we do this by creating location constraints. However, once again we provide a user friendly shortcut as part of the `crm_resource` command, which creates and modifies the extra constraints for you. If +Email+ was running on +sles-1+ and you wanted it moved to a specific location, the command would look something like: [source,C] # crm_resource -M -r Email -H sles-2 Behind the scenes, the tool will create the following location constraint: [source,XML] It is important to note that subsequent invocations of `crm_resource -M` are not cumulative. So, if you ran these commands [source,C] # crm_resource -M -r Email -H sles-2 # crm_resource -M -r Email -H sles-3 then it is as if you had never performed the first command. To allow the resource to move back again, use: [source,C] # crm_resource -U -r Email Note the use of the word _allow_. The resource can move back to its original location but, depending on +resource-stickiness+, it might stay where it is. To be absolutely certain that it moves back to +sles-1+, move it there before issuing the call to `crm_resource -U`: [source,C] # crm_resource -M -r Email -H sles-1 # crm_resource -U -r Email Alternatively, if you only care that the resource should be moved from its current location, try [source,C] # crm_resource -M -r Email` Which will instead create a negative constraint, like [source,XML] This will achieve the desired effect, but will also have long-term consequences. As the tool will warn you, the creation of a +-INFINITY+ constraint will prevent the resource from running on that node until `crm_resource -U` is used. This includes the situation where every other cluster node is no longer available! In some cases, such as when +resource-stickiness+ is set to +INFINITY+, it is possible that you will end up with the problem -described in xref:node-score-equal[]. The tool can detect +described in <>. The tool can detect some of these cases and deals with them by also creating both a positive and negative constraint. Eg. +Email+ prefers +sles-1+ with a score of +-INFINITY+ +Email+ prefers +sles-2+ with a score of +INFINITY+ which has the same long-term consequences as discussed earlier. +[[s-failure-migration]] === Moving Resources Due to Failure === -anchor:s-failure-migration[Moving Resources Due to Failure] New in 1.0 is the concept of a migration threshold. footnote:[ The naming of this option was perhaps unfortunate as it is easily confused with true migration, the process of moving a resource from one node to another without stopping it. Xen virtual guests are the most common example of resources that can be migrated in this manner. ] Simply define +migration-threshold=N+ for a resource and it will migrate to a new node after N failures. There is no threshold defined by default. To determine the resource's current failure status and limits, use `crm_mon --failcounts`. By default, once the threshold has been reached, this node will no longer be allowed to run the failed resource until the administrator manually resets the resource's failcount using `crm_failcount` (after hopefully first fixing the failure's cause). However it is possible to expire them by setting the resource's +failure-timeout+ option. So a setting of +migration-threshold=2+ and +failure-timeout=60s+ would cause the resource to move to a new node after 2 failures, and allow it to move back (depending on the stickiness and constraint scores) after one minute. There are two exceptions to the migration threshold concept; they occur when a resource either fails to start or fails to stop. Start failures cause the failcount to be set to +INFINITY+ and thus always cause the resource to move immediately. Stop failures are slightly different and crucial. If a resource fails to stop and STONITH is enabled, then the cluster will fence the node in order to be able to start the resource elsewhere. If STONITH is not enabled, then the cluster has no way to continue and will not try to start the resource elsewhere, but will try to stop it again after the failure timeout. [IMPORTANT] -Please read xref:s-rules-recheck[] before enabling this option. +Please read <> before enabling this option. === Moving Resources Due to Connectivity Changes === Setting up the cluster to move resources when external connectivity is lost is a two-step process. ==== Tell Pacemaker to monitor connectivity ==== To do this, you need to add a +ping+ resource to the cluster. The +ping+ resource uses the system utility of the same name to a test if list of machines (specified by DNS hostname or IPv4/IPv6 address) are reachable and uses the results to maintain a node attribute normally called +pingd+. footnote:[ The attribute name is customizable; that allows multiple ping groups to be defined. ] [NOTE] Older versions of Heartbeat required users to add ping nodes to _ha.cf_ - this is no longer required. [IMPORTANT] =========== Older versions of Pacemaker used a custom binary called 'pingd' for this functionality; this is now deprecated in favor of 'ping'. If your version of Pacemaker does not contain the ping agent, you can download the latest version from https://github.com/ClusterLabs/pacemaker/tree/master/extra/resources/ping =========== Normally the resource will run on all cluster nodes, which means that you'll need to create a clone.

The most common setup is for people to have a single ping node, to prevent the cluster from running a resource on any unconnected node. //// TODO: is the idea that only nodes that can reach eg. the router should have active resources? //// .Don't run on unconnected nodes ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== A more complex setup is to have a number of ping nodes configured. You can require the cluster to only run resources on nodes that can connect to all (or a minimum subset) of them. .Run only on nodes connected to three or more ping nodes; this assumes +multiplier+ is set to 1000: ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== Instead you can tell the cluster only to _prefer_ nodes with the best connectivity. Just be sure to set +multiplier+ to a value higher than that of +resource-stickiness+ (and don't set either of them to +INFINITY+). .Prefer the node with the most connected ping nodes ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== It is perhaps easier to think of this in terms of the simple constraints that the cluster translates it into. For example, if +sles-1+ is connected to all 5 ping nodes but +sles-2+ is only connected to 2, then it would be as if you instead had the following constraints in your configuration: .How the cluster translates the pingd constraint ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== The advantage is that you don't have to manually update any constraints whenever your network connectivity changes. You can also combine the concepts above into something even more complex. The example below shows how you can prefer the node with the most connected ping nodes provided they have connectivity to at least three (again assuming that +multiplier+ is set to 1000). .A more complex example of choosing a location based on connectivity ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== === Resource Migration === Some resources, such as Xen virtual guests, are able to move to another location without loss of state. We call this resource migration; this is different from the normal practice of stopping the resource on the first machine and starting it elsewhere. Not all resources are able to migrate, see the Migration Checklist below, and those that can, won't do so in all situations. Conceptually there are two requirements from which the other prerequisites follow: * the resource must be active and healthy at the old location * everything required for the resource to run must be available on both the old and new locations The cluster is able to accommodate both push and pull migration models by requiring the resource agent to support two new actions: +migrate_to+ (performed on the current location) and +migrate_from+ (performed on the destination). In push migration, the process on the current location transfers the resource to the new location where is it later activated. In this scenario, most of the work would be done in the +migrate_to+ action and, if anything, the activation would occur during +migrate_from+. Conversely for pull, the +migrate_to+ action is practically empty and +migrate_from+ does most of the work, extracting the relevant resource state from the old location and activating it. There is no wrong or right way to implement migration for your service, as long as it works. ==== Migration Checklist ==== * The resource may not be a clone. * The resource must use an OCF style agent. * The resource must not be in a failed or degraded state. * The resource must not, directly or indirectly, depend on any primitive or group resources. * The resource must support two new actions: +migrate_to+ and +migrate_from+, and advertise them in its metadata. * The resource must have the +allow-migrate+ meta-attribute set to +true+ (which is not the default). //// TODO: how can a KVM with DRBD migrate? //// If the resource depends on a clone, and at the time the resource needs to be move, the clone has instances that are stopping and instances that are starting, then the resource will be moved in the traditional manner. The Policy Engine is not yet able to model this situation correctly and so takes the safe (yet less optimal) path. +[[s-reusing-config-elements]] == Reusing Rules, Options and Sets of Operations == -anchor:s-reusing-config-elements[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.

They have turned out to quite useful for a number of purposes including integrating with Red Hat's DLM, the fencing subsystem, and OCFS2. You can clone any resource, provided the resource agent supports it. Three types of cloned resources exist: * Anonymous * Globally Unique * Stateful Anonymous clones are the simplest type. These resources behave completely identically everywhere they are running. Because of this, there can only be one copy of an anonymous clone active per machine. Globally unique clones are distinct entities. A copy of the clone running on one machine is not equivalent to another instance on another node. Nor would any two copies on the same node be equivalent. -Stateful clones are covered later in xref:s-resource-multistate[]. +Stateful clones are covered later in <>. .An example clone ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== === Clone Properties === .Properties of a Clone Resource [width="95%",cols="3m,5<",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Field |Description |id |Your name for the clone indexterm:[id,Clone Resource Property] indexterm:[Clone Resource Properties,id] indexterm:[Resource,Clone Property,id] |========================================================= === Clone Options === -Options inherited from xref:s-resource-options[] resources: +Options inherited from <> resources: +priority, target-role, is-managed+ .Clone specific configuration options [width="95%",cols="3m,5<",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Field |Description |clone-max |How many copies of the resource to start.

[WARNING] You should never reference the name of a clone's child. If you think you need to do this, you probably need to re-evaluate your design. === Clone Constraints === In most cases, a clone will have a single copy 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 to those for regular resources except that the clone's id is used. Ordering constraints behave slightly differently for clones. In the example below, +apache-stats+ will wait until all copies of the clone that need to be started have done so before being started itself. Only if _no_ copies can be started +apache-stats+ will be prevented from being active. Additionally, the clone will wait for +apache-stats+ to be stopped before stopping the clone. Colocation of a regular (or group) resource with a clone means that the resource can run on any machine with an active copy of the clone. The cluster will choose a copy based on where the clone is running and the resource's own location preferences. Colocation between clones is also possible. In such cases, the set of allowed locations for the clone is limited to nodes on which the clone is (or will be) active. Allocation is then performed as normally. .Example constraints involving clones ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== === Clone Stickiness === indexterm:[resource-stickiness,of a Clone Resource] 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. === 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. Globally unique clones do require some 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}+. Unless of course they are failed, in which case they should return one of the other OCF error codes. Copies of a clone are identified by appending a colon and a numerical offset, eg. +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 copy it is by examining +OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_clone+. You should not make any assumptions (based on +OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_clone+) about which copies are active. In particular, the list of active copies will not always be an unbroken sequence, nor always start at 0. ==== Clone Notifications ==== Supporting notifications requires the +notify+ action to be implemented.

They allow the instances to be in one of two operating modes; these are called +Master+ and +Slave+, but can mean whatever you wish them to mean. The only limitation is that when an instance is started, it must come up in the +Slave+ state. === Multi-state Properties === .Properties of a Multi-State Resource [width="95%",cols="3m,5<",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Field |Description |id |Your name for the multi-state resource indexterm:[id,Multi-State Resource Property] indexterm:[Multi-State Resource Properties,id] indexterm:[Resource,Multi-State Property,id] |========================================================= === Multi-state Options === -Options inherited from xref:s-resource-options[] resources: +Options inherited from <> resources: +priority+, +target-role+, +is-managed+ -Options inherited from xref:s-resource-clone[]: +Options inherited from <> resources: +clone-max+, +clone-node-max+, +notify+, +globally-unique+, +ordered+, +interleave+ .Multi-state specific resource configuration options [width="95%",cols="3m,5<",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Field |Description |master-max |How many copies of the resource can be promoted to +master+ status; default 1. indexterm:[master-max Multi-State Resource Property] indexterm:[Multi-State Resource Properties,master-max] indexterm:[Resource,Multi-State Property,master-max] |master-node-max |How many copies of the resource can be promoted to +master+ status on a single node; default 1. indexterm:[master-node-max Multi-State Resource Property] indexterm:[Multi-State Resource Properties,master-node-max] indexterm:[Resource,Multi-State Property,master-node-max] |========================================================= === Multi-state Instance Attributes === Multi-state resources have no instance attributes; however, any that are set here will be inherited by master's children. === Multi-state Contents === Masters must contain exactly one group or one regular resource. [WARNING] You should never reference the name of a master's child. If you think you need to do this, you probably need to re-evaluate your design. === Monitoring Multi-State Resources === The normal type of monitor actions are not sufficient to monitor a multi-state resource in the +Master+ state. To detect failures of the +Master+ instance, you need to define an additional monitor action with +role="Master"+. [IMPORTANT] =========== It is crucial that _every_ monitor operation has a different interval! This is because Pacemaker currently differentiates between operations only by resource and interval; so if eg. a master/slave resource has 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. =========== .Monitoring both states of a multi-state resource ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== === Multi-state Constraints === In most cases, a multi-state resources will have a single copy 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 to those for regular resources except that the master's id is used. When considering multi-state resources in constraints, for most purposes it is sufficient to treat them as clones. The exception is when the +rsc-role+ and/or +with-rsc-role+ fields (for colocation constraints) and +first-action+ and/or +then-action+ fields (for ordering constraints) are used. .Additional constraint options relevant to multi-state resources [width="95%",cols="3m,5<",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Field |Description |rsc-role |An additional attribute of colocation constraints that specifies the role that +rsc+ must be in.

Only if no copies can be promoted will +apache-stats+ be prevented from being active. Additionally, the database will wait for +myApp+ to be stopped before it is demoted. .Example constraints involving multi-state resources ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== Colocation of a regular (or group) resource with a multi-state resource means that it can run on any machine with an active copy of the multi-state resource that is in the specified state (+Master+ or +Slave+). In the example, 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 multi-state 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+ multi-state resource is (or will be) in the specified role. Allocation is then performed as-per-normal. === Multi-state Stickiness === indexterm:[resource-stickiness,of a Multi-State Resource] To achieve a stable allocation pattern, multi-state resources are slightly sticky by default. If no value for +resource-stickiness+ is provided, the multi-state resource 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. === Which Resource Instance is Promoted === During the start operation, most Resource Agent scripts should call the `crm_master` utility. This tool automatically detects both the resource and host and should be used to set a preference for being promoted. Based on this, +master-max+, and +master-node-max+, the instance(s) with the highest preference will be promoted. The other alternative is to create a location constraint that indicates which nodes are most preferred as masters. .Manually specifying which node should be promoted ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== === Multi-state Resource Agent Requirements === Since multi-state resources are an extension of cloned resources, all the requirements of Clones are also requirements of multi-state resources. Additionally, multi-state resources require two extra actions: +demote+ and +promote+; these actions 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 then 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. .Role implications of OCF return codes [width="95%",cols="5,3<",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Monitor Return Code |Description |OCF_NOT_RUNNING |Stopped indexterm:[return code,OCF_NOT_RUNNING] indexterm:[Environment Variable,OCF_NOT_RUNNING] indexterm:[OCF_NOT_RUNNING] |OCF_SUCCESS |Running (Slave) indexterm:[return code,OCF_SUCCESS] indexterm:[Environment Variable,OCF_SUCCESS] indexterm:[OCF_SUCCESS] |OCF_RUNNING_MASTER |Running (Master) indexterm:[return code,OCF_RUNNING_MASTER] indexterm:[Environment Variable,OCF_RUNNING_MASTER] indexterm:[OCF_RUNNING_MASTER] |OCF_FAILED_MASTER |Failed (Master) indexterm:[return code,OCF_FAILED_MASTER] indexterm:[Environment Variable,OCF_FAILED_MASTER] indexterm:[OCF_FAILED_MASTER] |Other |Failed (Slave) |========================================================= === Multi-state Notifications === Like clones, supporting notifications requires the +notify+ action to be implemented.

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 on a per-resource basis and any node with a negative score for a resource can't run that resource. After calculating the scores for a resource, the cluster then chooses the node with the highest one. === Infinity Math === +INFINITY+ is currently defined as 1,000,000 and addition/subtraction with it follows these three basic rules: * Any value + +INFINITY+ = +INFINITY+ * Any value - +INFINITY+ = -+INFINITY+ * +INFINITY+ - +INFINITY+ = -+INFINITY+ == Deciding Which Nodes a Resource Can Run On == There are two alternative strategies for specifying which nodes a resources can run on.

This will ensure that the then resource will react when the first resource changes state. * If the +first+ resource was running and is stopped, the +then+ resource will also be stopped (if it is running). * If the +first+ resource was not running and cannot be started, the +then+ resource will be stopped (if it is running). * If the +first+ resource is (re)started while the +then+ resource is running, the +then+ resource will be stopped and restarted. === Advisory Ordering === On the other hand, when +score="0"+ is specified for a constraint, the constraint is considered optional and only has an effect when both resources are stopping and/or starting. Any change in state by the +first+ resource will have no effect on the +then+ resource. .Example of an optional and mandatory ordering constraint ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== Some additional information on ordering constraints can be found in the document http://www.clusterlabs.org/mediawiki/images/d/d6/Ordering_Explained.pdf[Ordering Explained]. +[[s-resource-colocation]] == Placing Resources Relative to other Resources == -anchor:s-resource-colocation[Resource Colocation] When the location of one resource depends on the location of another one, we call this colocation. There is an important side-effect of creating a colocation constraint between two resources: it affects the order in which resources are assigned to a node. If you think about it, it's somewhat obvious. 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 collocated with B, the cluster will also take into account A's preferences when deciding which node to choose for B. For a detailed look at exactly how this occurs, see the http://www.clusterlabs.org/mediawiki/images/6/61/Colocation_Explained.pdf[Colocation Explained] document. === Options === .Properties of a Collocation Constraint [width="95%",cols="1m,5<",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Field |Description |id |A unique name for the constraint. |rsc |The colocation source. If the constraint cannot be satisfied, the cluster may decide not to allow the resource to run at all. |with-rsc |The colocation target. The cluster will decide where to put this resource first and then decide where to put the resource in the +rsc+ field. |score |Positive values indicate the resource should run on the same node. Negative values indicate the resources should not run on the same node. Values of \+/- +INFINITY+ change "should" to "must". |========================================================= === Mandatory Placement === Mandatory placement occurs any time 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 +resource1+ to always run on the same machine as +resource2+, you would add the following constraint: .An example colocation constraint [source,XML] Remember, because +INFINITY+ was used, if +resource2+ can't run on any of the cluster nodes (for whatever reason) then +resource1+ will not be allowed to run. Alternatively, you may want the opposite... that +resource1+ cannot run on the same machine as +resource2+. In this case use +score="-INFINITY"+ .An example anti-colocation constraint [source,XML] Again, by specifying +-INFINTY+, the constraint is binding. So if the only place left to run is where +resource2+ already is, then +resource1+ may not run anywhere. === 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 and accommodate your wishes but may ignore them if the alternative is to stop some of the cluster resources. Like 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. .An example advisory-only colocation constraint [source,XML] +[[s-resource-sets-ordering]] == Ordering Sets of Resources == -anchor:s-resource-sets-ordering[Resource Sets - Start Ordering] A common situation is for an administrator to create a chain of ordered resources, such as: .A chain of ordered resources ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== == Ordered Set == .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"] To simplify this situation, there is an alternate format for ordering constraints: .A chain of ordered resources expressed as a set ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== [NOTE] Resource sets have the same ordering semantics as groups. .A group resource with the equivalent ordering rules ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== While the set-based format is not less verbose, it is significantly easier to get right and maintain. It can also be expanded to allow ordered sets of (un)ordered resources. In the example below, +rscA+ and +rscB+ can both start in parallel, as can +rscC+ and +rscD+, however +rscC+ and +rscD+ can only start once _both_ +rscA+ _and_ +rscB+ are active. .Ordered sets of unordered resources ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== == Two Sets of Unordered Resources == .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. .Advanced use of set ordering - Three ordered sets, two of which are internally unordered ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== == Three Resources Sets == .Visual representation of the start order for the three sets defined above image::images/three-sets.png["Three ordered sets",width="16cm",height="7.5cm",align="center"] +[[s-resource-sets-collocation]] == Collocating Sets of Resources == -anchor:s-resource-sets-collocation[Resource Sets - Colocation] Another common situation is for an administrator to create a set of collocated resources.

Just like the expanded version, a resource that can't be active also prevents any resource that must be collocated with it from being active. For example, if +B was+ not able to run, then both +C (+and by inference +D)+ must also remain stopped. .The equivalent colocation chain expressed using +resource_sets+ ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== [NOTE] Resource sets have the same colocation semantics as groups. .A group resource with the equivalent colocation rules [source,XML] ------- ------- This notation can also be used in this context to tell the cluster that a set of resources must all be located with a common peer, but have no dependencies on each other.

You may wish to write +end="2005-03-31T23:59:59"+ to avoid confusion. ====== .A full moon on Friday the 13th ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== == Using Rules to Determine Resource Location == indexterm:[Rule,Determine Resource Location] indexterm:[Resource,Location, Determine by Rules] If the constraint's outer-most rule evaluates to +false+, the cluster treats the constraint as if it was not there. When the rule evaluates to +true+, the node's preference for running the resource is updated with the score associated with the rule. If this sounds familiar, its because you have been using a simplified syntax for location constraint rules already. Consider the following location constraint: .Prevent myApacheRsc from running on c001n03 ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== This constraint can be more verbosely written as: .Prevent myApacheRsc from running on c001n03 - expanded version ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== The advantage of using the expanded form is that one can then add extra clauses to the rule, such as limiting the rule such that it only applies during certain times of the day or days of the week (this is discussed in subsequent sections). It also allows us to match on node properties other than its name. If we rated each machine's CPU power such that the cluster had the following nodes section: .A sample nodes section for use with score-attribute ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== then we could prevent resources from running on underpowered machines with the rule [source,XML] ------- ------- === Using +score-attribute+ Instead of +score+ === When using +score-attribute+ instead of +score+, each node matched by the rule has its score adjusted differently, according to its value for the named node attribute. Thus, in the previous example, if a rule used +score-attribute="cpu_mips"+, +c001n01+ would have its preference to run the resource increased by +1234+ whereas +c001n02+ would have its preference increased by +5678+. == Using Rules to Control Resource Options == Often some cluster nodes will be different from their peers; sometimes these differences (the location of a binary or the names of network interfaces) require resources to be configured differently depending on the machine they're hosted on. By defining multiple +instance_attributes+ objects for the resource and adding a rule to each, we can easily handle these special cases. In the example below, +mySpecialRsc+ will use eth1 and port 9999 when run on +node1+, eth2 and port 8888 on +node2+ and default to eth0 and port 9999 for all other nodes. .Defining different resource options based on the node name ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== The order in which +instance_attributes+ objects are evaluated is determined by their score (highest to lowest). If not supplied, score defaults to zero and objects with an equal score are processed in listed order. If the +instance_attributes+ object does not have a +rule+ or has a +rule+ that evaluates to +true+, then for any parameter the resource does not yet have a value for, the resource will use the parameter values defined by the +instance_attributes+ object. == Using Rules to Control Cluster Options == indexterm:[Rule,Controlling Cluster Options] indexterm:[Cluster Options,Controlled by Rules] Controlling cluster options is achieved in much the same manner as specifying different resource options on different nodes. The difference is that because they are cluster options, one cannot (or should not, because they won't work) use attribute based expressions. The following example illustrates how to set a different +resource-stickiness+ value during and outside of work hours. This allows resources to automatically move back to their most preferred hosts, but at a time that (in theory) does not interfere with business activities. .Change +resource-stickiness+ during working hours ===== [source,XML] ------- ------- ===== +[[s-rules-recheck]] == Ensuring Time Based Rules Take Effect == -anchor:s-rules-recheck[Ensuring Time Based Rules Take Effect] A Pacemaker cluster is an event driven system. As such, it won't recalculate the best place for resources to run in unless something (like a resource failure or configuration change) happens. This can mean that a location constraint that only allows resource X to run between 9am and 5pm is not enforced. If you rely on time based rules, it is essential that you set the +cluster-recheck-interval+ option. This tells the cluster to periodically recalculate the ideal state of the cluster. For example, if you set +cluster-recheck-interval=5m+, then sometime between 9:00 and 9:05 the cluster would notice that it needs to start resource X, and between 17:00 and 17:05 it would realize that X needed to be stopped. Note that the timing of the actual start and stop actions depends on what else needs to be performed first. diff --git a/doc/Pacemaker_Explained/en-US/Ch-Status.txt b/doc/Pacemaker_Explained/en-US/Ch-Status.txt index 7ef577dd87..3bbc7a25a2 100644 --- a/doc/Pacemaker_Explained/en-US/Ch-Status.txt +++ b/doc/Pacemaker_Explained/en-US/Ch-Status.txt @@ -1,377 +1,377 @@ = 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`.

The cluster schedules probes for every configured resource on when a new node 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 crmd (2668bbeb-06d5-40f9-936d-24cb7f87006a). The third field of the +transition-key+ contains a 7, this 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. === Complex Resource History Example === .Resource history of a pingd clone with multiple jobs ====== [source,XML] ----- ----- ====== 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 crmd instance with the key +2668bbeb...+.

Just because a node is unresponsive, this doesn't mean it isn't accessing your data. The only way to be 100% sure that your data is safe, is to use STONITH so we can be certain that the node is truly offline, before allowing the data to be accessed from another node. STONITH also has a role to play in the event that a clustered service cannot be stopped. In this case, the cluster uses STONITH to force the whole node offline, thereby making it safe to start the service elsewhere. == What STONITH Device Should You Use == It is crucial that the STONITH device can allow the cluster to differentiate between a node failure and a network one. The biggest mistake people make in choosing a STONITH device is to use remote power switch (such as many on-board IMPI controllers) that shares power with the node it controls. In such cases, the cluster cannot be sure if the node is really offline, or active and suffering from a network fault.
