[Pacemaker] Explanation of resource allocation scores issue?

Hi,

I have what I believe is a pretty standard pacemaker/drbd setup (crm config pasted at the end) with a single resource group for rabbitmq service,ip and filesystem and a master-slave drbd resource.  General failover tests seemed to work, one exception being when I killed the rabbitmq service on an active node and prevented it from restarting. This works (i.e. successfully migrates service group over) on one node, but not in the other. The problem appears to be caused by the following pair of location constraints on the group:

location tomtest_LOC_RULE_0 tomtest 10000: stratus17
location tomtest_LOC_RULE_1 tomtest 9999: stratus18

When the service is active on stratus18, the test passes and successfully migrates everything onto stratus17. When the service is active on stratus17, the service group is stopped and drbd is demoted on stratus17, but it fails to start anything up on stratus18 and syslog shows that it is in a loop of tearing down bringing up the drbd device connections. I am basically left with a secondary/secondary drbd setup and no service. I can also see in syslog that no attempt to promote drbd on stratus18 was made and ptest shows the following score allocations when it is in this state (full score allocation pasted below):
drbd_tomtest:1 promotion score on stratus18: -1
drbd_tomtest:0 promotion score on stratus17: -1
So I think this explains why a promotion never occurs at this point, until some manual intervention happens (a resource cleanup operation on the rabbitmq service resource, for example, clears the issue and brings everything back up).

I can fix this by setting the same score on the above location constraints, e.g. setting both to 10000. Once this is changed, migration occurs happily between both nodes for the restart failure scenario. Is there documentation on the pacemaker score allocation algorithm or can someone explain why the above occurs? I think understand some of the basics, e.g. the STONITH resource scores below are pretty straight-forward and I understand that collocation and presumably group colour contribute to the final score. However, I don't know how the final set of native_color scores are arrived at.

Is there something fundamentally wrong with the way I have configured the constraints? You might wonder why there is location constraint for both resource group and its members, but should that be causing issues?

Any insight appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
