Hi Jan,
Thanks for your replies!!
I have couple of concerns more to answer, please help!
1) In CMAN, there was meta attribute - autostart=0 (This parameter disables
the start of all services when RGManager starts). Is there any way for such
behavior in Pacemaker?
I tried to explore is-manged=0 but when I start the cluster through pcs
cluster start OR pcs cluster start --all, my all of the resources gets
started (even the one which has meta attribute configured as
is-managed=false). Any clue to achieve such behavior?
What does is-manged=false do?
2) Please put some alternatives to exclusive=0 and __independent_subtree?
what we have in Pacemaker instead of these?
My cluster depends on these meta attributes and I am getting nothing in
pacemaker as an alternative to these one. Please see, if it is feasible to
achieve such meta attributes in Pacemaker.
Thanks
Jaspal
