[Pacemaker] Resource Agent timeout

Tue Jun 21 05:37:22 UTC 2011

Hi Dejan,
We have sybase at our shop, and the start of the Sybase server may last from 5 minutes to up to 45 minutes. I found a resource agent in the web who needs 3 timeout parameter passed to it, one for start, one for stop and one for monitor. And the cluster config itself has similar timeout values set for start, stop and monitor activity in the metadata for the defined resource primitive. 
Back to the Sybase server. I tried to change this RA in a way to remove the redundant timeout parameters, run the start until the resources start-timeout has elapsed, set the resource itself to unmanaged with
crm_resource --meta -t primitive -r $OCF_RESOURCE_INSTANCE -p is-managed -v false
and return with rc=0 to leave the starting Sybase running. But for this part of the code running after the SIGTERM there are only 5 seconds to live.

The reason to do so is because after the Sybase startup has timed out the cluster itself will stop the Sybase resource, and this will terminate the startup process and we have to run the long lasting startup again. Another way would be to get the meta data for the resource primitive passed to the resource agent. But I found no way to get it till now.
Another way is to set the timeout to a very very high value, but I think this is not a very good idea.

Regards, Christian

No, it's not configurable. 

What's the use case? You should prevent actions from timing out in the first place.

Thanks,

Dejan
