Yes, I very recently discovered we had made a similar mistake which was confusing Pacemaker into thinking a pseudo-resource was running everywhere, whereas we actually only wanted it running active/passive. This was the fix: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/291286/ > ocf-shellfuncs has a ha_pseudo_resource() function that does the same > thing. See the ocf:heartbeat:Delay agent for example usage.
