Chapter 59. Determining resource location with rules

download PDF

For more complicated location constraints, you can use Pacemaker rules to determine a resource’s location.

59.1. Pacemaker rules

Pacemaker rules can be used to make your configuration more dynamic. One use of rules might be to assign machines to different processing groups (using a node attribute) based on time and to then use that attribute when creating location constraints.

Each rule can contain a number of expressions, date-expressions and even other rules. The results of the expressions are combined based on the rule’s boolean-op field to determine if the rule ultimately evaluates to true or false. What happens next depends on the context in which the rule is being used.

Table 59.1. Properties of a Rule
FieldDescription

role

Limits the rule to apply only when the resource is in that role. Allowed values: Started, Slave, and Master. NOTE: A rule with role="Master" cannot determine the initial location of a clone instance. It will only affect which of the active instances will be promoted.

score

The score to apply if the rule evaluates to true. Limited to use in rules that are part of location constraints.

score-attribute

The node attribute to look up and use as a score if the rule evaluates to true. Limited to use in rules that are part of location constraints.

boolean-op

How to combine the result of multiple expression objects. Allowed values: and and or. The default value is and.

59.1.1. Node attribute expressions

Node attribute expressions are used to control a resource based on the attributes defined by a node or nodes.

Table 59.2. Properties of an Expression
FieldDescription

attribute

The node attribute to test

type

Determines how the value(s) should be tested. Allowed values: string, integer, number(RHEL 8.4 and later), version. The default value is string.

operation

The comparison to perform. Allowed values:

* lt - True if the node attribute’s value is less than value

* gt - True if the node attribute’s value is greater than value

* lte - True if the node attribute’s value is less than or equal to value

* gte - True if the node attribute’s value is greater than or equal to value

* eq - True if the node attribute’s value is equal to value

* ne - True if the node attribute’s value is not equal to value

* defined - True if the node has the named attribute

* not_defined - True if the node does not have the named attribute

value

User supplied value for comparison (required unless operation is defined or not_defined)

In addition to any attributes added by the administrator, the cluster defines special, built-in node attributes for each node that can also be used, as described in the following table.

Table 59.3. Built-in Node Attributes
NameDescription

#uname

Node name

#id

Node ID

#kind

Node type. Possible values are cluster, remote, and container. The value of kind is remote for Pacemaker Remote nodes created with the ocf:pacemaker:remote resource, and container for Pacemaker Remote guest nodes and bundle nodes.

#is_dc

true if this node is a Designated Controller (DC), false otherwise

#cluster_name

The value of the cluster-name cluster property, if set

#site_name

The value of the site-name node attribute, if set, otherwise identical to #cluster-name

#role

The role the relevant promotable clone has on this node. Valid only within a rule for a location constraint for a promotable clone.

59.1.2. Time/date based expressions

Date expressions are used to control a resource or cluster option based on the current date/time. They can contain an optional date specification.

Table 59.4. Properties of a Date Expression
FieldDescription

start

A date/time conforming to the ISO8601 specification.

end

A date/time conforming to the ISO8601 specification.

operation

Compares the current date/time with the start or the end date or both the start and end date, depending on the context. Allowed values:

* gt - True if the current date/time is after start

* lt - True if the current date/time is before end

* in_range - True if the current date/time is after start and before end

* date-spec - performs a cron-like comparison to the current date/time

59.1.3. Date specifications

Date specifications are used to create cron-like expressions relating to time. Each field can contain a single number or a single range. Instead of defaulting to zero, any field not supplied is ignored.

For example, monthdays="1" matches the first day of every month and hours="09-17" matches the hours between 9 am and 5 pm (inclusive). However, you cannot specify weekdays="1,2" or weekdays="1-2,5-6" since they contain multiple ranges.

Table 59.5. Properties of a Date Specification
FieldDescription

id

A unique name for the date

hours

Allowed values: 0-23

monthdays

Allowed values: 0-31 (depending on month and year)

weekdays

Allowed values: 1-7 (1=Monday, 7=Sunday)

yeardays

Allowed values: 1-366 (depending on the year)

months

Allowed values: 1-12

weeks

Allowed values: 1-53 (depending on weekyear)

years

Year according the Gregorian calendar

weekyears

May differ from Gregorian years; for example, 2005-001 Ordinal is also 2005-01-01 Gregorian is also 2004-W53-6 Weekly

moon

Allowed values: 0-7 (0 is new, 4 is full moon).

59.2. Configuring a pacemaker location constraint using rules

Use the following command to configure a Pacemaker constraint that uses rules. If score is omitted, it defaults to INFINITY. If resource-discovery is omitted, it defaults to always.

For information on the resource-discovery option, see Limiting resource discovery to a subset of nodes.

As with basic location constraints, you can use regular expressions for resources with these constraints as well.

When using rules to configure location constraints, the value of score can be positive or negative, with a positive value indicating "prefers" and a negative value indicating "avoids".

pcs constraint location rsc rule [resource-discovery=option] [role=master|slave] [score=score | score-attribute=attribute] expression

The expression option can be one of the following where duration_options and date_spec_options are: hours, monthdays, weekdays, yeardays, months, weeks, years, weekyears, and moon as described in the "Properties of a Date Specification" table in Date specifications.

  • defined|not_defined attribute
  • attribute lt|gt|lte|gte|eq|ne [string|integer|number(RHEL 8.4 and later)|version] value
  • date gt|lt date
  • date in_range date to date
  • date in_range date to duration duration_options …​
  • date-spec date_spec_options
  • expression and|or expression
  • (expression)

Note that durations are an alternative way to specify an end for in_range operations by means of calculations. For example, you can specify a duration of 19 months.

The following location constraint configures an expression that is true if now is any time in the year 2018.

# pcs constraint location Webserver rule score=INFINITY date-spec years=2018

The following command configures an expression that is true from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Note that the hours value of 16 matches up to 16:59:59, as the numeric value (hour) still matches.

# pcs constraint location Webserver rule score=INFINITY date-spec hours="9-16" weekdays="1-5"

The following command configures an expression that is true when there is a full moon on Friday the thirteenth.

# pcs constraint location Webserver rule date-spec weekdays=5 monthdays=13 moon=4

To remove a rule, use the following command. If the rule that you are removing is the last rule in its constraint, the constraint will be removed.
