[ClusterLabs] two node cluster: vm starting - shutting down 15min later - starting again 15min later ... and so on

[Lentes, Bernd]

Hi,

i have a two node cluster with a vm as a resource. Currently i'm just testing and playing. My vm boots and shuts down again in 15min gaps.
Surely this is related to "PEngine Recheck Timer (I_PE_CALC) just popped (900000ms)" found in the logs. I googled, and it is said that this
is due to time-based rule (http://oss.clusterlabs.org/pipermail/pacemaker/2009-May/001647.html). OK.
But i don't have any time-based rules.
This is the config for my vm:

primitive prim_vm_mausdb VirtualDomain \
        params config="/var/lib/libvirt/images/xml/mausdb_vm.xml" \
        params hypervisor="qemu:///system" \
        params migration_transport=ssh \
        op start interval=0 timeout=90 \
        op stop interval=0 timeout=95 \
        op monitor interval=30 timeout=30 \
        op migrate_from interval=0 timeout=100 \
        op migrate_to interval=0 timeout=120 \
        meta allow-migrate=true \
        meta target-role=Started \
        utilization cpu=2 hv_memory=4099

The only constraint concerning the vm i had was a location (which i didn't create).
Ok, this timer is available, i can set it to zero to disable it.
But why does it influence my vm in such a manner ?

Excerp from the log:

I deleted the location and until that vm is running fine for already 35min.

System is SLES 11 SP4 64bit, vm is SLES 10 SP4 64bit.

Thanks.
