The simplest CIB, an empty one, looks like this: .An empty configuration ====== [source,XML] ------- ------- ====== The empty configuration above contains the major sections that make up a CIB: * +cib+: The entire CIB is enclosed with a +cib+ tag. Certain fundamental settings are defined as attributes of this tag. ** +configuration+: This section -- the primary focus of this document -- contains traditional configuration information such as what resources the cluster serves and the relationships among them. *** +crm_config+: cluster-wide configuration options *** +nodes+: the machines that host the cluster *** +resources+: the services run by the cluster *** +constraints+: indications of how resources should be placed ** +status+: This section contains the history of each resource on each node. Based on this data, the cluster can construct the complete current state of the cluster. The authoritative source for this section is the local executor (pacemaker-execd process) on each cluster node, and the cluster will occasionally repopulate the entire section. For this reason, it is never written to disk, and administrators are advised against modifying it in any way. In this document, configuration settings will be described as 'properties' or 'options' based on how they are defined in the CIB: * Properties are XML attributes of an XML element. * Options are name-value pairs expressed as +nvpair+ child elements of an XML element. Normally, you will use command-line tools that abstract the XML, so the distinction will be unimportant; both properties and options are cluster settings you can tweak. == CIB Properties == Certain settings are defined by CIB properties (that is, attributes of the +cib+ tag) rather than with the rest of the cluster configuration in the +configuration+ section. The reason is simply a matter of parsing. These options are used by the configuration database which is, by design, mostly ignorant of the content it holds. So the decision was made to place them in an easy-to-find location. .CIB Properties [width="95%",cols="2m,<5",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Field |Description | admin_epoch | indexterm:[Configuration Version,Cluster] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,Configuration Version] indexterm:[admin_epoch,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,admin_epoch] When a node joins the cluster, the cluster performs a check to see which node has the best configuration. It asks the node with the highest (+admin_epoch+, +epoch+, +num_updates+) tuple to replace the configuration on all the nodes -- which makes setting them, and setting them correctly, very important. +admin_epoch+ is never modified by the cluster; you can use this to make the configurations on any inactive nodes obsolete. _Never set this value to zero_. In such cases, the cluster cannot tell the difference between your configuration and the "empty" one used when nothing is found on disk. | epoch | indexterm:[epoch,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,epoch] The cluster increments this every time the configuration is updated (usually by the administrator). | num_updates | indexterm:[num_updates,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,num_updates] The cluster increments this every time the configuration or status is updated (usually by the cluster) and resets it to 0 when epoch changes. | validate-with | indexterm:[validate-with,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,validate-with] Determines the type of XML validation that will be done on the configuration. If set to +none+, the cluster will not verify that updates conform to the DTD (nor reject ones that don't). This option can be useful when operating a mixed-version cluster during an upgrade. |cib-last-written | indexterm:[cib-last-written,Cluster Property] indexterm:[Cluster,Property,cib-last-written] Indicates when the configuration was last written to disk. Maintained by the cluster; for informational purposes only. |have-quorum | indexterm:[have-quorum,Cluster Property] indexterm:[Cluster,Property,have-quorum] Indicates if the cluster has quorum. If false, this may mean that the cluster cannot start resources or fence other nodes (see +no-quorum-policy+ below). Maintained by the cluster. |dc-uuid | indexterm:[dc-uuid,Cluster Property] indexterm:[Cluster,Property,dc-uuid] Indicates which cluster node is the current leader. Used by the cluster when placing resources and determining the order of some events. Maintained by the cluster. |========================================================= [[s-cluster-options]] == Cluster Options == Cluster options, as you might expect, control how the cluster behaves when confronted with certain situations. They are grouped into sets within the +crm_config+ section, and, in advanced configurations, there may be more than one set. (This will be described later in the section on <> where we will show how to have the cluster use different sets of options during working hours than during weekends.) For now, we will describe the simple case where each option is present at most once. You can obtain an up-to-date list of cluster options, including their default values, by running the `man pacemaker-schedulerd` and `man pacemaker-controld` commands. .Cluster Options [width="95%",cols="5m,2,<11",options="header",align="center"] |========================================================= |Option |Default |Description | dc-version | | indexterm:[dc-version,Cluster Property] indexterm:[Cluster,Property,dc-version] Version of Pacemaker on the cluster's DC. Determined automatically by the cluster. Often includes the hash which identifies the exact Git changeset it was built from. Used for diagnostic purposes. | cluster-infrastructure | | indexterm:[cluster-infrastructure,Cluster Property] indexterm:[Cluster,Property,cluster-infrastructure] The messaging stack on which Pacemaker is currently running. Determined automatically by the cluster. Used for informational and diagnostic purposes. | no-quorum-policy | stop a| indexterm:[no-quorum-policy,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,no-quorum-policy] What to do when the cluster does not have quorum. Allowed values: * +ignore:+ continue all resource management * +freeze:+ continue resource management, but don't recover resources from nodes not in the affected partition * +stop:+ stop all resources in the affected cluster partition * +suicide:+ fence all nodes in the affected cluster partition | batch-limit | 0 | indexterm:[batch-limit,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,batch-limit] The maximum number of actions that the cluster may execute in parallel across all nodes. The "correct" value will depend on the speed and load of your network and cluster nodes. If zero, the cluster will impose a dynamically calculated limit only when any node has high load. | migration-limit | -1 | indexterm:[migration-limit,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,migration-limit] -The number of migration jobs that the TE is allowed to execute in -parallel on a node. A value of -1 means unlimited. +The number of <> actions that the cluster +is allowed to execute in parallel on a node. A value of -1 means unlimited. | symmetric-cluster | TRUE | indexterm:[symmetric-cluster,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,symmetric-cluster] Can all resources run on any node by default? | stop-all-resources | FALSE | indexterm:[stop-all-resources,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stop-all-resources] Should the cluster stop all resources? | stop-orphan-resources | TRUE | indexterm:[stop-orphan-resources,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stop-orphan-resources] Should deleted resources be stopped? This value takes precedence over +is-managed+ (i.e. even unmanaged resources will be stopped if deleted from the configuration when this value is TRUE). | stop-orphan-actions | TRUE | indexterm:[stop-orphan-actions,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stop-orphan-actions] Should deleted actions be cancelled? | start-failure-is-fatal | TRUE | indexterm:[start-failure-is-fatal,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,start-failure-is-fatal] Should a failure to start a resource on a particular node prevent further start attempts on that node? If FALSE, the cluster will decide whether the same node is still eligible based on the resource's current failure count and +migration-threshold+ (see <>). | enable-startup-probes | TRUE | indexterm:[enable-startup-probes,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,enable-startup-probes] Should the cluster check for active resources during startup? | maintenance-mode | FALSE | indexterm:[maintenance-mode,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,maintenance-mode] Should the cluster refrain from monitoring, starting and stopping resources? | stonith-enabled | TRUE | indexterm:[stonith-enabled,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-enabled] Should failed nodes and nodes with resources that can't be stopped be shot? If you value your data, set up a STONITH device and enable this. If true, or unset, the cluster will refuse to start resources unless one or more STONITH resources have been configured. If false, unresponsive nodes are immediately assumed to be running no resources, and resource takeover to online nodes starts without any further protection (which means _data loss_ if the unresponsive node still accesses shared storage, for example). See also the +requires+ meta-attribute in <>. | stonith-action | reboot | indexterm:[stonith-action,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-action] Action to send to STONITH device. Allowed values are +reboot+ and +off+. The value +poweroff+ is also allowed, but is only used for legacy devices. | stonith-timeout | 60s | indexterm:[stonith-timeout,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-timeout] How long to wait for STONITH actions (reboot, on, off) to complete | stonith-max-attempts | 10 | indexterm:[stonith-max-attempts,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-max-attempts] How many times fencing can fail for a target before the cluster will no longer immediately re-attempt it. | stonith-watchdog-timeout | 0 | indexterm:[stonith-watchdog-timeout,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,stonith-watchdog-timeout] If nonzero, rely on hardware watchdog self-fencing. If positive, assume unseen nodes self-fence within this much time. If negative, and the SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT environment variable is set, use twice that value. | concurrent-fencing | FALSE | indexterm:[concurrent-fencing,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,concurrent-fencing] Is the cluster allowed to initiate multiple fence actions concurrently? | cluster-delay | 60s | indexterm:[cluster-delay,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,cluster-delay] Estimated maximum round-trip delay over the network (excluding action -execution). If the TE requires an action to be executed on another node, -it will consider the action failed if it does not get a response +execution). If the DC requires an action to be executed on another +node, it will consider the action failed if it does not get a response from the other node in this time (after considering the action's own timeout). The "correct" value will depend on the speed and load of your network and cluster nodes. | dc-deadtime | 20s | indexterm:[dc-deadtime,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,dc-deadtime] How long to wait for a response from other nodes during startup. The "correct" value will depend on the speed/load of your network and the type of switches used. | cluster-recheck-interval | 15min | indexterm:[cluster-recheck-interval,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,cluster-recheck-interval] Polling interval for time-based changes to options, resource parameters and constraints. The Cluster is primarily event-driven, but your configuration can have elements that take effect based on the time of day. To ensure these changes take effect, we can optionally poll the cluster's status for changes. A value of 0 disables polling. Positive values are an interval (in seconds unless other SI units are specified, e.g. 5min). | cluster-ipc-limit | 500 | indexterm:[cluster-ipc-limit,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,cluster-ipc-limit] The maximum IPC message backlog before one cluster daemon will disconnect another. This is of use in large clusters, for which a good value is the number of resources in the cluster multiplied by the number of nodes. The default of 500 is also the minimum. Raise this if you see "Evicting client" messages for cluster daemon PIDs in the logs. | pe-error-series-max | -1 | indexterm:[pe-error-series-max,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,pe-error-series-max] The number of PE inputs resulting in ERRORs to save. Used when reporting problems. A value of -1 means unlimited (report all). | pe-warn-series-max | -1 | indexterm:[pe-warn-series-max,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,pe-warn-series-max] The number of PE inputs resulting in WARNINGs to save. Used when reporting problems. A value of -1 means unlimited (report all). | pe-input-series-max | -1 | indexterm:[pe-input-series-max,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,pe-input-series-max] The number of "normal" PE inputs to save. Used when reporting problems. A value of -1 means unlimited (report all). | placement-strategy | default | indexterm:[placement-strategy,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,placement-strategy] How the cluster should allocate resources to nodes (see <>). Allowed values are +default+, +utilization+, +balanced+, and +minimal+. | node-health-strategy | none | indexterm:[node-health-strategy,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-strategy] How the cluster should react to node health attributes (see <>). Allowed values are +none+, +migrate-on-red+, +only-green+, +progressive+, and +custom+. | node-health-base | 0 | indexterm:[node-health-base,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-base] The base health score assigned to a node. Only used when +node-health-strategy+ is +progressive+. | node-health-green | 0 | indexterm:[node-health-green,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-green] The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is +green+. Only used when +node-health-strategy+ is +progressive+ or +custom+. | node-health-yellow | 0 | indexterm:[node-health-yellow,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-yellow] The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is +yellow+. Only used when +node-health-strategy+ is +progressive+ or +custom+. | node-health-red | 0 | indexterm:[node-health-red,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,node-health-red] The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is +red+. Only used when +node-health-strategy+ is +progressive+ or +custom+. | remove-after-stop | FALSE | indexterm:[remove-after-stop,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,remove-after-stop] _Advanced Use Only:_ Should the cluster remove resources from the LRM after they are stopped? Values other than the default are, at best, poorly tested and potentially dangerous. | startup-fencing | TRUE | indexterm:[startup-fencing,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,startup-fencing] _Advanced Use Only:_ Should the cluster shoot unseen nodes? Not using the default is very unsafe! | election-timeout | 2min | indexterm:[election-timeout,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,election-timeout] _Advanced Use Only:_ If you need to adjust this value, it probably indicates the presence of a bug. | shutdown-escalation | 20min | indexterm:[shutdown-escalation,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,shutdown-escalation] _Advanced Use Only:_ If you need to adjust this value, it probably indicates the presence of a bug. | join-integration-timeout | 3min | indexterm:[join-integration-timeout,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,join-integration-timeout] _Advanced Use Only:_ If you need to adjust this value, it probably indicates the presence of a bug. | join-finalization-timeout | 30min | indexterm:[join-finalization-timeout,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,join-finalization-timeout] _Advanced Use Only:_ If you need to adjust this value, it probably indicates the presence of a bug. | transition-delay | 0s | indexterm:[transition-delay,Cluster Option] indexterm:[Cluster,Option,transition-delay] _Advanced Use Only:_ Delay cluster recovery for the configured interval to allow for additional/related events to occur. Useful if your configuration is sensitive to the order in which ping updates arrive. Enabling this option will slow down cluster recovery under all conditions. |=========================================================
