[Pacemaker] Best practice for quorum nodes

[Andrey Groshev]

Hi, Andrew.
Not sure what my version better, but I did so ..
In short, I use conventional configuration of the cluster postgresql.
Mainly in the resource hierarchy is a clone of the primitive "ping".
I add next line to reles:
....
location checkquorumnode clnPingCheck \
        rule $id="checkquorumnode-rule" -inf: not_defined thisquorumnode or thisquorumnode eq yes
.....
Symmetric cluster. But resources are not run if this attribute is not defined.

One practice for configuring this node is to put it in "standby", which prevents it from running resources. In my experience, this seems to work pretty well, however from time-to-time I see these errors appear in my pacemaker logs:
> Preventing <rsc> from re-starting on <host>: operation monitor failed 'not installed' (rc=5)
