[Linux-cluster] Info on restart of non critical resources

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Hello,
I have a cluster with RH EL 6.3
cman-3.0.12.1-32.el6_3.2.x86_64
rgmanager-3.0.12.1-12.el6.x86_64

I configure ssh in cluster changing the default init script.
Then I configure it as a non critical resource in a service section

<resources>
...
<script file="/etc/init.d/sshd" name="clusterssh"/>
</resources>
...
                <service autostart="0" domain="PABX" name="PABX">
                <resource 1 ...>
. . .
                <script __independent_subtree="2" ref="clusterssh"/>
                <resource
                </service>

If the pid of sshd process related to VIP is 2689

[root at myserver cluster]# kill ­9 2689

[root at myserver cluster]# tail ­f /var/log/messages

Nov 15 16:30:22 myserver rgmanager[11542]: Note: Some non­critical
resources were stopped
during recovery.
Nov 15 16:30:22 myserver rgmanager[11542]: Run 'clusvcadm -­c
service:PABX' to restore them
to operation.

The ssh resource remains stopped and the service gets a [P] flag in
clustat output.

The suggested command
clusvcadm ­-c service:PABX
takes it online again:

Nov 15 16:31:22 myserver rgmanager[6787]: [script] Executing /etc/init.d/sshd
start
Nov 15 16:31:22 myserver rgmanager[11542]: Repair of service:PABX was successful

Is this expected behaviour? Any way to configure to try to restart in
place the resource without manual intervention when a resource is
configured as non critical?

Thanks in advance,
