That is incorrect.  "Started" != "Slave"

target-role "Started" actually means "default for the resource being
handled" (the same as if you just removed that target-role attribute),
which in this case means "start up to clone-max instances,
then of those promote up to master-max instances"

target-role Slave would in fact prohibit promotion.

and target-role Master would, back in the day, trigger a pacemaker bug
where it would try to fulfill target-role, and happend to ignore
master-max, trying to promote all instances everywhere ;-)

not set: default behaviour
started: same as not set
slave:   do not promote
master:  nowadays for ms resources same as "Started" or not set,
         but used to trigger some nasty "promote everywhere" bug
	 (a few years back)
