I see your point. But the collocations don't really get more difficult
with the number of resources, but mostly node size.

And the way you described your setup (N nodes + 1 standby), chunking
them up accordingly isn't that difficult. Assuming identical nodes.

But yes, of course a fully automated redistribution would be
desirable.

Like I said, we take patches, and I think people could be found to
convert cash to patches ;-)

Running the PE is the only choice right now. I think with crm_mon you'll
also be informed about stopped resources; basically you'd want to be
told about everything not explicitly stopped (e.g., target-role !=
stopped), right?


Good luck,
