Not exactly. You can still create a location constraint that prevents all instances of the clone from running on that node (but allow it to remain active elsewhere). >> >> >> The difference is that anonymous clones only allow you to have one >> instance per node. >> Internally, this allows the PE to make certain assumptions when >> managing the resource. > > now things are clear.

Anything that has two mode of operation might want to make use of stateful clones (aka. master/slave resources). Pacemaker is deliberately ignorant of what the two states mean to the resource, simply implement demote() and promote() to do whatever relevant for your service. _______________________________________________ Pacemaker mailing list Pacemaker@oss.clusterlabs.org http://oss.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/pacemaker
