Not sure whether this applies to all remote nodes or just to bundle/guest nodes. Probably all.
The return value of `crm_get_peer_full(v->nodeid, v->nodename, CRM_GET_PEER_ANY)` is a `crm_node_t` with `uname` set but otherwise no `uuid`, no `crm_remote_node` flag set, no anything. I guess it hasn't been added to the `crm_remote_peer_cache`?
```
[root@pcmktest-bundle-0 /]# attrd_updater --name testattr --update false
[root@pcmktest-bundle-0 /]#
```
The attribute update is written to attrd but is **not** written to the CIB. The logs on the host show:
```

```
I reverted the "CIB transaction in attrd" commit and this issue persisted, so this one (as opposed to T733) is not a recent regression from me :)
---
This does **not** happen with `crm_attribute`, which uses `query_node_uuid()` to detect whether the node is remote.
This comment in `attrd_updater.c` appears to be inaccurate:
```
/* @TODO We don't know whether the specified node is a Pacemaker Remote
* node or not, so we can't set pcmk__node_attr_remote when appropriate.
* However, it's not a big problem, because pacemaker-attrd will learn
* and remember a node's "remoteness".
