-nodes::
-
-List of group node members where a priority can be given to each node.
-A service bound to this group will run on the nodes with the highest priority
-available. If more nodes are in the highest priority class the services will
-get distributed to those node if not already there. The priorities have a
-relative meaning only.
- Example;;
- You want to run all services from a group on `node1` if possible. If this node
- is not available, you want them to run equally splitted on `node2` and `node3`, and
- if those fail it should use `node4`.
- To achieve this you could set the node list to:
-[source,bash]
- ha-manager groupset mygroup -nodes "node1:2,node2:1,node3:1,node4"
-
-restricted::
-
-Resources bound to this group may only run on nodes defined by the
-group. If no group node member is available the resource will be
-placed in the stopped state.
- Example;;
- Lets say a service uses resources only available on `node1` and `node2`,
- so we need to make sure that HA manager does not use other nodes.
- We need to create a 'restricted' group with said nodes:
-[source,bash]
- ha-manager groupset mygroup -nodes "node1,node2" -restricted
-
-nofailback::
-
-The resource won't automatically fail back when a more preferred node
-(re)joins the cluster.
- Examples;;
- * You need to migrate a service to a node which hasn't the highest priority
- in the group at the moment, to tell the HA manager to not move this service
- instantly back set the 'nofailback' option and the service will stay on
- the current node.
-
- * A service was fenced and it got recovered to another node. The admin
- repaired the node and brought it up online again but does not want that the
- recovered services move straight back to the repaired node as he wants to
- first investigate the failure cause and check if it runs stable. He can use
- the 'nofailback' option to achieve this.
+CAUTION: On node failure, the CRM distributes services to the
+remaining nodes. This increase the service count on those nodes, and
+can lead to high load, especially on small clusters. Please design
+your cluster so that it can handle such worst case scenarios.
