Set meta options

You can set a resource option for a particular resource to a value other than the default when you create the resource. You can also set the value of a resource meta option for an existing resource, group, or cloned resource.

About this task

The following procedure provides example commands that set the value of resource meta options both on resource creation and on an existing resource.

Procedure

  1. Create a resource with a resource-stickiness value of 50. 
    # pcs resource create VirtualIP ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 ip=192.168.0.120 meta resource-stickiness=50
  2. For the existing resource named dummy_resource, set the failure-timeout meta option to 20 seconds, so that the resource can attempt to restart on the same node in 20 seconds. 
    # pcs resource meta dummy_resource failure-timeout=20s
  3. Display the values for the resource to verify that failure-timeout=20s is set. 
    # pcs resource config dummy_resource
     
     Resource: dummy_resource (class=ocf provider=heartbeat type=Dummy)
  Meta Attrs: failure-timeout=20s
