I was assuming that this would be enough to keep the Dummy resource on the active node as long as the active node stays healthy. However, stickiness is not working as I expected in the following scenario:

The only way I can get the resource to not to fail back is to set resource-stickiness to INFINITY. Is this the correct behavior of resource-stickiness? What am I missing? This is not what I understand from the documentation from clusterlabs.org. BTW, after reading various postings on fail back issues, I played with setting on-fail to standby, but that doesn't seem to help either. Any help is appreciated!

You can try crm resource scores. But note that below you have a
location preference of infinity, hence stickiness has to match
that score.

Looks like here crmsh got confused by the role set to Started.
Which crmsh version do you run?

Thanks,
