Hi all,
I'm not sure that one tool able to provide all requested features
will
really simplify things. A such tool will have to support a billion of
various command line options and parameters. Wouldn't it be easier to
have separate tools for controlling resources and configurations? I
mean one tool that will be able to
start/stop/move/unmove/manage/unmage/etc... resources and another
tool
for adding and removing them in CIB? Kind of hat we have now with
cibadmin & crm_resource but with simpler and more intuitive syntax,
especially for cibadmin. Per my experience XML itself is the main
part
that drives people crazy and hiding it out as much as it possible
will
be the best achievement for a such tool.
There is a main set of function that is used most often: start a
resource, stop it, move it. Syntax for such things has to be easy to
type and easy to remember. Current tools don't provide it and that's
why almost everybody has his own homegrown script for those
operations. A remember at least 2 or 3 published on this list.
For those of you that know Novell Cluster Services, in that product
there is just one CLI tool with the name "cluster". It's a very
intuitive tool, you can almost guess how to use it. Would be cool
if we
can have something like that in Heartbeat.
Thats the general idea.
(Take a look here:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/clus_admin_lx/index.html?page=/documentation/oes2/clus_admin_lx/data/ncsclusresources.html
for some examples of this tool.
