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

Errors interrupt the action.

blocking_pre_unprovision

required:    false

Errors interrupt the action.

comment

required:    false
scopable:    false

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

delta

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

delta = 00:15

Use -delta in symsnapvx commands.

devs

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     list

Example:

devs = 012a 012b

The whitespace-separated list of symmetrix device identifiers.

devs_from

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     list

Example:

devs_from = disk#0 disk#1

Use the pointed resource subdevices as the list of devices to snapshot.

disable

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

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.

encap

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     bool

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.

max_delay

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     duration

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.

monitor

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

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.

name

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

name = prod_db1_weekly

Use -name in symsnapvx commands.

optional

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

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.

pg_blkio_weight

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_blkio_weight = 50

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

The kernel default is 1000.

pg_cpu_quota

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_cpu_quota = 50%@all

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.

pg_cpu_shares

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     size

Example:

pg_cpu_shares = 512

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.

pg_cpus

required:    false
scopable:    true
depends:     create_pg=true

Example:

pg_cpus = 0-2

Allow service process to bind only the specified cpus.

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

pg_mem_limit

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     size

Example:

pg_mem_limit = 512m

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

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

pg_mem_oom_control

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_mem_oom_control = 1

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.

pg_mem_swappiness

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_mem_swappiness = 40

Set a swappiness percentile value for the process group.

pg_mems

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

pg_mems = 0-2

Allow service process to bind only the specified memory nodes.

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

pg_vmem_limit

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     size

Example:

pg_vmem_limit = 1g

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.

pool

required:    false
scopable:    true

The name of the pool this volume was allocated from.

post_provision

required:    false
scopable:    true

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

Errors do not interrupt the action.

post_unprovision

required:    false
scopable:    true

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

Errors do not interrupt the action.

pre_provision

required:    false
scopable:    true

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

Errors do not interrupt the action.

pre_unprovision

required:    false
scopable:    true

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

Errors do not interrupt the action.

provision

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

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.

provision_requires

required:    false
scopable:    false

Example:

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

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.

provision_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

provision_timeout = 1m30s

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

Takes precedence over timeout.

schedule

required:    false
scopable:    true

Example:

schedule = 00:00-01:00 mon

Set the task run schedule.

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

secure

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

Use -secure in symsnapvx commands.

shared

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

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.

size

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     size

The size used by this volume in its pool.

standby

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     bool

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.

start_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

start_timeout = 1m30s

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

Takes precedence over timeout.

stat_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

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.

status_timeout

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

Example:

status_timeout = 10s

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.

stop_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

stop_timeout = 1m30s

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

Takes precedence over timeout.

subset

required:    false
scopable:    true

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

Errors do not interrupt the action.

scopable:    true

Example:

symid = 0000001234

The symmetrix array identifier.

sync_requires

required:    false
scopable:    false

Example:

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

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.

sync_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

sync_timeout = 1m30s

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

Takes precedence over timeout.

tags

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     set

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.

timeout

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

Example:

timeout = 2h

Wait for <duration> before declaring a state-changing action a failure.

A per-action <action>_timeout can override this value.

type

required:    false
scopable:    false

The resource driver name.

unprovision

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

Set to false to ignore the unprovision action on the resource.

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.

unprovision_requires

required:    false
scopable:    false

Example:

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

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

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

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

unprovision_timeout

required:    false
scopable:    true
convert:     duration

Example:

unprovision_timeout = 1m30s

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

Takes precedence over timeout.
