if you set a parameter called "hostlist" in the CIB, then it should be
available all the time
Hi Andrew,
I did some tests the last days.
The parameters (presented as environment variables) defined via
cib are NOT always set (HAv2 2.1.2-3). I wanted to use
it as a parameter to enable/disable debugging informations.
BUT: It is definitely not set with 'getconfignames', 'getinfo-devdescr',
'getinfo-devname', 'getinfo-xml'.
For example: The very first call to the stonith plugin is 'getconfignames'
and while calling the stonith plugin with that argument the environment
is not set with the parameters defined in the attribute section of the cib.
If this is not intendet that it's an error.
It would be helpful to know that EVERY call to the stonith plugin will all
attributes set in the environment.
Until the plugin is actually configured, it does not have access to the
attributes - this is the same for external and built-in plugins. For
operations that just return information, such as getconfignames and
getinfo, the plugin does not need to be configured. For actions that
actually DO something, like gethosts, status, reset, etc. the plugin
does need to be configured. Now if your plugin is loaded and
configured, then even the getconfignames operation will have access to
the attributes - but there is no reason to call getconfignames at this
point because it was called before the plugin was loaded in order to see
what attributes the plugin needs to be loaded.
Best regards
Andreas Mock
