Configuration Layout
####################

The cluster is defined by the Cluster Information Base (CIB), which uses XML
notation. The simplest CIB, an empty one, looks like this:

.. topic:: An empty configuration

   .. code-block:: xml

      <cib crm_feature_set="3.6.0" validate-with="pacemaker-3.5" epoch="1" num_updates="0" admin_epoch="0">
        <configuration>
          <crm_config/>
          <nodes/>
          <resources/>
          <constraints/>
        </configuration>
        <status/>
      </cib>

The empty configuration above contains the major sections that make up a CIB:

* ``cib``: The entire CIB is enclosed with a ``cib`` element. Certain
  fundamental settings are defined as attributes of this element.

  * ``configuration``: This section -- the primary focus of this document --
    contains traditional configuration information such as what resources the
    cluster serves and the relationships among them.

    * ``crm_config``: cluster-wide configuration options

    * ``nodes``: the machines that host the cluster

    * ``resources``: the services run by the cluster

    * ``constraints``: indications of how resources should be placed

  * ``status``: This section contains the history of each resource on each
    node. Based on this data, the cluster can construct the complete current
    state of the cluster. The authoritative source for this section is the
    local executor (pacemaker-execd process) on each cluster node, and the
    cluster will occasionally repopulate the entire section. For this reason,
    it is never written to disk, and administrators are advised against
    modifying it in any way.

In this document, configuration settings will be described as properties or
options based on how they are defined in the CIB:

* Properties are XML attributes of an XML element.

* Options are name-value pairs expressed as ``nvpair`` child elements of an XML
  element.

Normally, you will use command-line tools that abstract the XML, so the
distinction will be unimportant; both properties and options are cluster
settings you can tweak.

CIB Properties
##############

Certain settings are defined by CIB properties (that is, attributes of the
``cib`` tag) rather than with the rest of the cluster configuration in the
``configuration`` section.

The reason is simply a matter of parsing. These options are used by the
configuration database which is, by design, mostly ignorant of the content it
holds. So the decision was made to place them in an easy-to-find location.

   |                  | When a node joins the cluster, the cluster performs a     |
   |                  | check to see which node has the best configuration. It    |
   |                  | asks the node with the highest (``admin_epoch``,          |
   |                  | ``epoch``, ``num_updates``) tuple to replace the          |
   |                  | configuration on all the nodes -- which makes setting     |
   |                  | them, and setting them correctly, very important.         |
   |                  | ``admin_epoch`` is never modified by the cluster; you can |
   |                  | use this to make the configurations on any inactive nodes |
   |                  | obsolete.                                                 |
   |                  |                                                           |

   |                  |    Never set this value to zero. In such cases, the       |
   |                  |    cluster cannot tell the difference between your        |
   |                  |    configuration and the "empty" one used when nothing is |
   |                  |    found on disk.                                         |

Cluster Options
###############

Cluster options, as you might expect, control how the cluster behaves when
confronted with various situations.

They are grouped into sets within the ``crm_config`` section. In advanced
configurations, there may be more than one set. (This will be described later
in the chapter on :ref:`rules` where we will show how to have the cluster use
different sets of options during working hours than during weekends.) For now,
we will describe the simple case where each option is present at most once.

You can obtain an up-to-date list of cluster options, including their default
values, by running the ``man pacemaker-schedulerd`` and
``man pacemaker-controld`` commands.

   |                           |         | Pacemaker is primarily event-driven, and looks     |
   |                           |         | ahead to know when to recheck the cluster for      |
   |                           |         | failure timeouts and most time-based rules         |
   |                           |         | *(since 2.0.3)*. However, it will also recheck the |
   |                           |         | cluster after this amount of inactivity. This has  |
   |                           |         | two goals: rules with ``date_spec`` are only       |
   |                           |         | guaranteed to be checked this often, and it also   |
   |                           |         | serves as a fail-safe for some kinds of scheduler  |
   |                           |         | bugs. A value of 0 disables this polling; positive |
   |                           |         | values are a time interval.                        |

   |                           |         | The default of false allows active resources to be |
   |                           |         | recovered elsewhere when their node is cleanly     |
   |                           |         | shut down, which is what the vast majority of      |
   |                           |         | users will want. However, some users prefer to     |
   |                           |         | make resources highly available only for failures, |
   |                           |         | with no recovery for clean shutdowns. If this      |
   |                           |         | option is true, resources active on a node when it |
   |                           |         | is cleanly shut down are kept "locked" to that     |
   |                           |         | node (not allowed to run elsewhere) until they     |
   |                           |         | start again on that node after it rejoins (or for  |
   |                           |         | at most ``shutdown-lock-limit``, if set). Stonith  |
   |                           |         | resources and Pacemaker Remote connections are     |
   |                           |         | never locked. Clone and bundle instances and the   |
   |                           |         | master role of promotable clones are currently     |
   |                           |         | never locked, though support could be added in a   |
   |                           |         | future release. Locks may be manually cleared      |
   |                           |         | using the ``--refresh`` option of ``crm_resource`` |
