Right now there's no way to do this. But it sounds like a good
idea to me. Big configurations are definitely difficult to deal
with.

One idea I had earlier, but never implemented it, has been to
define a filter for the crm configure show command so that only
parts of the configuration are displayed. That's not exactly the
same as what you proposed, but tackles the same issue.

I don't know how difficult it would be to implement
configuration split natively in pacemaker. And probably it
wouldn't get a lot of attention.

Thanks,

Dejan
