Technically it calculates an ordered graph of actions that need to be performed for a set of related resources. You can see an example of the kinds of graphs it produces at: http://clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1-pcs/html/Pacemaker_Explained/s-config-testing-changes.html There is a more complex one which includes promotion and demotion on the next page. The number of actions that can run at any one time is therefor limited by - the value of batch-limit (the total number of in-flight actions) - the number of resources that do not have ordering constraints between them (eg. rsc{1,2,3} in the above example) So in the above example, if batch-limit >= 3, the monitor_0 actions will still all execute in parallel. If batch-limit == 2, one of them will be deferred until the others complete. Processing of the graph stops the moment any action returns a value that was not expected. If that happens, we wait for currently in-flight actions to complete, re-calculate a new graph based on the new information and start again. > > The problem is that pacemaker can only promote a resource after it > detects the resource is started. First we do a non-recurring monitor (*_monitor_0) to check what state the resource is in. We can’t assume its off because a) we might have crashed, b) the admin might have accidentally configured it to start at boot or c) the admin may have asked us to re-check everything. > During a full reassemble, in the first > transition batch, pacemaker starts all the resources including MySQL and > RabbitMQ.

Also important to know, the order of actions is: 1. any necessary demotions 2. any necessary stops 3. any necessary starts 4. any necessary promotions __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
