[ClusterLabs] Cannot stop cluster due to order constraint

Hi all,

We are running Pacemaker 1.1.15 under Centos 6.9, and have a simple 3-node
cluster with 6 sets of "main" and "backup" resources (just Dummy ones):

main1
backup1
main2
backup2
etc.

We have the following co-location constraint between main1 and backup1
(-200 because we don't want them to be on the same node, but under some
circumstances they can end up on the same node)

pcs constraint colocation add backup1 with main1 -200

We also have the following order constraint between main1 and backup1.
This caters for the scenario where they end up on the same node - we want
to make sure that "main" gets started before "backup" gets stopped, and
started somewhere else (because of co-location score):

pcs constraint order start main1 then stop backup1 kind=Serialize


When the cluster is started, everything works fine:

main1   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie1
main2   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie2
main3   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie3
main4   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie1
main5   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie2
main6   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie3
backup1 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie2
backup2 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie1
backup3 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie1
backup4 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie2
backup5 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie1
backup6 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie2

When we do a "pcs cluster stop --all", things do not go so well.  pcs
cluster stop hangs and the cluster state is as follows:

main1   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Stopped
main2   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Stopped
main3   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Stopped
main4   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Stopped
main5   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Stopped
main6   (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Stopped
backup1 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie2
backup2 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie1
backup3 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie1
backup4 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie2
backup5 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie1
backup6 (ocf::heartbeat:Dummy): Started straddie2

The corosync.log clearly shows why this is happening.  It looks like
Pacemaker wants to stop the backup resources, but the order constraint
states that the "main" resources should be started first.  At this stage
the "main" resources have already been stopped, and because the cluster is
shutting down, the "main" resources cannot be started, and we are stuck:

Our current workaround is to delete the constraints before calling "pcs
cluster stop --all", but we would prefer not to do that.

If I add "symmetrical=false" it seems to work fine, but we need the
constraint to work in both directions.  I've tried adding a separate order
constraint for "start backup then stop main kind=Serialized", but I hit the
same issue.

I've also added another optional order constraint between main and backup
to say backup must be stopped first before stopping partition, but this
didn't seem to work.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks,
Leon



PS: The full script to create the resources on 3 nodes is:


echo "Creating main and backup"
pcs resource create main1 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create main2 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create main3 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create main4 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create main5 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create main6 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy

pcs resource create backup1 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create backup2 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create backup3 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create backup4 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create backup5 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy
pcs resource create backup6 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy

pcs constraint order start main1 then stop backup1 kind=Serialize
pcs constraint order start main2 then stop backup2 kind=Serialize
pcs constraint order start main3 then stop backup3 kind=Serialize
pcs constraint order start main4 then stop backup4 kind=Serialize
pcs constraint order start main5 then stop backup5 kind=Serialize
pcs constraint order start main6 then stop backup6 kind=Serialize

pcs constraint colocation add backup1 with main1 -200
pcs constraint colocation add backup2 with main2 -200
pcs constraint colocation add backup3 with main3 -200
pcs constraint colocation add backup4 with main3 -200
pcs constraint colocation add backup5 with main3 -200
pcs constraint colocation add backup6 with main3 -200
