红帽全球峰会11.2. Limiting resource discovery to a subset of nodes
Before Pacemaker starts a resource anywhere, it first runs a one-time monitor operation (often referred to as a "probe") on every node, to learn whether the resource is already running. This process of resource discovery can result in errors on nodes that are unable to execute the monitor.
When configuring a location constraint on a node, you can use the resource-discovery option of the pcs constraint location command to indicate a preference for whether Pacemaker should perform resource discovery on this node for the specified resource. Limiting resource discovery to a subset of nodes the resource is physically capable of running on can significantly boost performance when a large set of nodes is present. When pacemaker_remote is in use to expand the node count into the hundreds of nodes range, this option should be considered.
The following command shows the format for specifying the resource-discovery option of the pcs constraint location command. In this command, a positive value for score corresponds to a basic location constraint that configures a resource to prefer a node, while a negative value for score corresponds to a basic location`constraint that configures a resource to avoid a node. As with basic location constraints, you can use regular expressions for resources with these constraints as well.

A positive value for score corresponds to a basic location constraint that configures a resource to prefer a node, while a negative value for score corresponds to a basic location constraint that configures a resource to avoid a node.

Setting resource-discovery to never or exclusive removes Pacemaker’s ability to detect and stop unwanted instances of a service running where it is not supposed to be. It is up to the system administrator to make sure that the service can never be active on nodes without resource discovery (such as by leaving the relevant software uninstalled).
