rox and rwx modes are served by flex volume services.

Keyword blocking_post_provision

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

A command or script to execute after the resource provision action.

Errors interrupt the action.

This trigger is only executed on leaders.

Keyword blocking_post_unprovision

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

A command or script to execute after the resource unprovision action.

Errors interrupt the action.

This trigger is only executed on leaders.

Keyword blocking_pre_provision

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

A command or script to execute before the resource provision action.

Errors interrupt the action.

Keyword blocking_pre_unprovision

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

A command or script to execute before the resource unprovision action.

Errors interrupt the action.

Keyword bwlimit

required:    false
scopable:    false

Description:

Bandwidth limit (the default unit is kb/s) applied to this rsync transfer.

Leave empty to enforce no limit.

Keyword comment

required:    false
scopable:    false

Description:

Comments help the users understand the role of the object and its resources.

Keyword devices_from

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     list

Description:

The list of resources that contribute their exposed devices to the volume exposed devices.

If not specified, only the last disk contributes.

Keyword disable

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

Description:

A disabled resource will be ignored on start, stop, provision and unprovision actions.

A disabled resource status is n/a.

If set in the DEFAULT section of an object, the object is disabled and ignores start, stop, shutdown, provision and unprovision actions.

These actions immediately return success.

om <path> disable sets DEFAULT.disable=true.

om <path> enable sets DEFAULT.disable=false.

Note: The enable and disable actions preserve the individual resource disable state.

Keyword dst

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

dst=/srv/{fqdn}

Description:

The destination of the sync.

Can be a whitespace-separated list of files or directories passed untamed to rsync.

Attention: The ending ‘/’ is meaningful. Refer to the rsync man page for details.

Keyword dstfs

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

dstfs=/srv/{fqdn}

Description:

If set to a remote mount point, OpenSVC will verify that the specified mount point is really hosting a mounted FS.

This is a safety net to prevent overflowing the parent filesystem (/ for example).

Keyword encap

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     bool

Description:

Set to true to ignore this resource in the nodes context and consider it in the encapnodes context. The resource is thus handled by agents deployed in the service containers.

Keyword max_delay

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     duration

Description:

The delay above which the status of the resource reports warn.

It should be set according to your application service level agreement.

The scheduler task interval should be lower than max_delay.

Keyword monitor

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

Description:

A resource with monitor=true will trigger the monitor_action (crash or reboot the node, freezestop or switch the service) if:

  • The resource is down.

  • The instance has local_expect=started in its daemon monitor data, which means the daemon considers this instance is and should remain started.

  • All restart tentatives failed.

Keyword optional

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

Description:

Action errors on optional resources are logged but do not interrupt the action sequence.

The status of optional resources is not included in the instance availability status but is considered in the overall status.

The status of task and sync resources is always included in the overall status, regardless of whether they are marked as optional.

Resources tagged as noaction are considered optional by default.

Dump filesystems are a typical use case for optional=true.

Keyword options

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     shlex

Example:

options=--acls --xattrs --exclude foo/bar

Description:

A whitespace-separated list of params passed unchanged to rsync.

Typical usage is ACL preservation activation.

pg_blkio_weight=50

Description:

Block IO relative weight. Value: between 10 and 1000.

The kernel default is 1000.

Keyword pg_cpu_quota

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_cpu_quota=50%@all

Description:

The kernel default value is used, which usually is 1024 shares.

In a cpu-bound situation, this setting ensures the service does not use more than its share of cpu resource. The actual percentile depends on shares allowed to other services.

Keyword pg_cpu_shares

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     size

Example:

pg_cpu_shares=512

Description:

The kernel default value is used, which usually is 1024 shares.

In a cpu-bound situation, this setting ensures the service does not use more than its share of cpu resource. The actual percentile depends on shares allowed to other services.

Keyword pg_cpus

required:    false
scopable:    true
depends:     create_pg=true

Example:

pg_cpus=0-2

Description:

Allow service process to bind only the specified cpus.

Cpus are specified as list or range : 0,1,2 or 0-2.

Keyword pg_mem_limit

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     size

Example:

pg_mem_limit=512m

Description:

Ensures the service does not use more than specified memory (in bytes).

The Out-Of-Memory killer is triggered in case of tresspassing.

Keyword pg_mem_oom_control

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_mem_oom_control=1

Description:

A flag (0 or 1) that enables or disables the Out of Memory killer for the processes of the group.

  • If enabled (0), tasks that attempt to consume more memory than they are allowed are immediately killed by the OOM killer.
  • If disabled (1), tasks are allowed to continue to try allocating memory, stressing the system.

The OOM killer is enabled by default in every cgroup using the memory controller.

Keyword pg_mem_swappiness

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_mem_swappiness=40

Description:

Set a swappiness percentile value for the process group.

Keyword pg_mems

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_mems=0-2

Description:

Memory nodes are specified as list or range : 0,1,2 or 0-2.

Keyword pg_vmem_limit

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     size

Example:

pg_vmem_limit=1g

Description:

Ensures the service does not use more than specified memory+swap (in bytes).

The Out-Of-Memory killer is triggered in case of tresspassing. The specified value must be greater than pg_mem_limit.

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

A command or script to execute after the resource provision action.

Errors do not interrupt the action.

This trigger is only executed on leaders.

Keyword pre_provision

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

A command or script to execute after the resource provision action.

Errors do not interrupt the action.

This trigger is only executed on leaders.

Keyword pre_unprovision

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

A command or script to execute after the resource provision action.

Errors do not interrupt the action.

This trigger is only executed on leaders.

Keyword provision

required:    false
scopable:    false
default:     true
convert:     bool

Description:

Set to false to ignore the provision and unprovision actions on the resource.

Warning: provision and unprovision use data-destructive operations like formatting.

It is recommended to set provision=false on long-lived critical objects, to force administrators to remove this setting when they really want to destroy data.

Keyword provision_requires

required:    false
scopable:    false

Example:

provision_requires=ip#0 fs#0(down,stdby down)

Description:

A whitespace-separated list of conditions to meet to accept a ‘provision’ action.

A condition is expressed as <rid>(<state>,...).

If states are omitted, up,stdby up is used as the default expected states.

Keyword provision_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

provision_timeout=1m30s

Description:

Wait for <duration> before declaring the action a failure.

Takes precedence over timeout.

Keyword reset_options

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     bool

Description:

Use options only instead of merging options to default hardcoded options.

This keyword can be used to disable --xattr or --acls for example.

Keyword schedule

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

schedule=00:00-01:00 mon

Description:

Set the task run schedule.

See usr/share/doc/opensvc/schedule for the schedule syntax reference.

Keyword shared

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

Description:

If true, the resource will be considered shared during provision and unprovision actions.

A shared resource driver can implement a different behaviour depending on weither it is run from the leader instance, or not:

  • When --leader is set, the driver creates and configures the system objects. For example the disk.disk driver allocates a SAN disk and discover its block devices.

  • When --leader is not set, the driver does not redo the actions already done by the leader, but may do some. For example, the disk.disk driver skips the SAN disk allocation, but discovers the block devices.

The daemon takes care of setting the --leader flags on the commands it submits during deploy, purge, provision and unprovision orchestrations.

Warning: If admins want to submit --local provision or unprovision commands themselves, they have to set the --leader flag correctly.

Flex objects usually don’t use shared resources. But if they do, only the flex primary gets --leader commands.

Warning: All resources depending on a shared resource must also be flagged as shared.

Keyword size

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     size

Description:

The size used by this volume in its pool.

Keyword snap

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     bool

Description:

If true, OpenSVC will try to snapshot the first snapshottable parent of the src and replicate from the snap instead of the src.

Keyword src

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

src=/srv/{fqdn}/

Description:

The source of the sync.

Can be a whitespace-separated list of files or directories passed untamed to rsync.

Attention: The ending ‘/’ is meaningful. Refer to the rsync man page for details.

Keyword standby

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

Description:

If true, always start the resource, even on non-started instances.

The daemon is responsible for starting standby resources.

A resource can be set standby on a subset of nodes using keyword scoping.

A typical use-case is a synchronized filesystem on non-shared disks. The remote filesystem must be mounted to not overflow the underlying filesystem.

Warning: In most situation, don’t set shared resources standby, a non-clustered fs on shared disks for example.

Keyword start_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

start_timeout=1m30s

Description:

Wait for <duration> before declaring the action a failure.

Takes precedence over timeout.

Keyword stat_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Description:

The fs resources status evaluation includes a stat syscall test. This keyword defines the maximum wait time for those stat calls to respond.

When expired, the resource status is degraded is to warn, which can trigger a monitor action (reboot or crash the node) if the resource is monitored.

Keyword status_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
default:     1m
convert:     duration

Example:

status_timeout=10s

Description:

The maximum duration of the instance status evaluation.

For example, the total start action duration is constrained by different timeouts:

  • the start_timeout Limiting the start action duration.

  • the stop_timeout Limiting the start rollback duration triggered by start errors.

  • the status_timeout Limiting the post-start instance status evaluation duration.

Keyword stop_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

stop_timeout=1m30s

Description:

Wait for <duration> before declaring the action a failure.

Takes precedence over timeout.

Keyword subset

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

A command or script to execute after the resource provision action.

Errors do not interrupt the action.

This trigger is only executed on leaders.

Keyword sync_requires

required:    false
scopable:    false

Example:

sync_requires=ip#0 fs#0(down,stdby down)

Description:

A whitespace-separated list of conditions to meet to accept a ‘sync update’ action.

A condition is expressed as <rid>(<state>,...).

If states are omitted, up,stdby up is used as the default expected states.

Keyword sync_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

sync_timeout=1m30s

Description:

Wait for <duration> before declaring the action a failure.

Takes precedence over timeout.

Keyword tags

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     set

Description:

A whitespace-separated list of tags.

Tags can be used for resource selection by tag.

Some tags can influence the driver behaviour:

  • noaction

    Skip any state changing action on the resource and imply optional=true.

  • nostatus

    Force the status n/a.

Keyword target

required:    false
scopable:    true
candidates:  nodes, drpnodes, local
convert:     list

Description:

Which nodes should receive this data sync from the PRD node where the instance is up and running.

A shared filesystem (shared disk, replicated disk, clustered fs or networked fs) should not have a rsync target containing nodes where the fs resource can be started.

Keyword timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

timeout=5m

Description:

Wait for <duration> before declaring the sync action a failure.

If no timeout is set, the agent waits indefinitely for the sync action to exit.

Keyword type

required:    false
scopable:    false

Description:

The resource driver name.

Keyword unprovision

required:    false
scopable:    false
default:     true
convert:     bool

Description:

Warning: unprovision use data-destructive operations like formatting.

It is recommended to set provision=false on long-lived critical objects, to force administrators to remove this setting when they really want to destroy data.

Keyword unprovision_requires

required:    false
scopable:    false

Example:

unprovision_requires=ip#0 fs#0(down,stdby down)

Description:

A whitespace-separated list of conditions to meet to accept a ‘unprovision’ action.

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

unprovision_timeout=1m30s
