[Pacemaker] breaking resource dependencies by replacing resource group by co-location constrains

[Sven Moeller]

Hi,

i have a Cluster running on SLES 11 SP3. A resource group is defined. So every entry in that resource group is a hard dependency for the folliowing resource in that group. If just only one resource fails on both nodes, the resource res_MyApplication won't be started. I want to change that behavior. I want the cluster to start the resources on just one host. The local resources should be started on just the same host, regardless of the status of the CIFS Shares. If the CIFS Shares are available they have to be mounted on the same node running the application. I would try to accomplish this by deleting the resource group grp_application, creating colocation constrains for local fs, service ip and application. Additionally I would create co-location constrains for each CIFS Share to mount it on the node running the application. Any hints/thoughts on that? Is that the "right way" to achieve what I want?

Here's the currently running config:
