Hi All,

pacemaker has one property "on_fail" for any operation configured for a resource. suppose i have set "on_fail" to "fence" for a monitor operation , then is it expected to fence the node in case of resource monitor failure ??

that would seem like a reasonable assumption

Thanks  Andrew for fast reply,

i assume we need stonith for this.

definitely

when resource monitor will fail on a node it means that node is undergoing some problematic situation , and due to this the resource fails over to another node. Well , now i am wondering if a node is not well then stonith will already come into the action.

if stonith is enabled (the default in 1.0.0 and onwards), then it kicks in whenever a node fails or a resource fails to stop.

i mean to say even if i will not set "on_fail" to fence the node will be fenced by stonith (as other members of cluster will detect that node is not doing well and they will fence that errant node)

so why do we have this "on_fail" feature. is there any special benefit of this "on_fail" feature i am missing??

setting on_fail=fence for a monitor op will cause the cluster to shoot the node immediately instead of trying to stop the resource and recover it without fencing.





can any one explain please.
