>> There is an ordering constraint - everything must be started after the king resource. But even if this constraint didn't exist I don't see that it should logically make any difference due to all the non-clone resources being colocated with the master of the king resource. Surely it would make no sense for Pacemaker to start or move colocated resources until a master king resource has been elected?

>This ordering constraint is satisfied by slave of ms_servant2. Slave is already started at the point failover happens so pacemaker is free to start all other resources immediately. If you intend to order against master, you need first-action="promote" then-action="start".

As I mentioned in my last message I have trouble with using first-action="promote" because some of the dependents are clone resources. I just tried it again and the dependent clones only start on the master node with this setting. What I really need is a first-action="promote | demote" setting, but this isn't available. I tried adding two separate rules but Pacemaker doesn't like that and none of the dependents start.

Thanks Andrei for the time you've taken to look at this issue for me. What's actually happening with the master preference scores is that initially when the master fails, the other node does have a higher preference to become master. Pacemaker tries and fails multiple times to perform the failover, resulting in the "transition aborted" logs that I posted previously. By the time all that has happened, the original master has restarted and therefore has the same master preference as the original slave, hence pacemaker just re-promotes the same master. Occasionally the failover is successful, but I think it's down to luck with timing.

I think that the root cause is that pacemaker is trying to move the servant resources prior to promoting the king master. Your last suggestion about changing the ordering constraint to depend on promotion of the master/slave resource rather than when it starts make sense, and I'll try changing that and see if it makes a difference. I have tried that in the past however and had trouble with clone resources that are dependents only starting on the master node with that setting. I'll try again though and let you know how it goes.

Thanks,
Harvey

There is an ordering constraint that the king resource must start before all servant resources. The king resource is controlled by an OCF script that uses crm_master to set the preferred master for the king resource (current master has value 100, current slave is 5, unassigned role or resource failure is 1) - I've verified that these values are being set as expected upon promotion/demotion/failure etc, via the logs. That's pretty much all of the configuration - there is no configuration around node preferences and migration-threshold is zero for everything.

If I then kill the master instance of the king resource again however, instead of failing back over to its original node, it restarts and promotes back to master on the same node. This is not what I want.

Whilst I really like the concept of crm_simulate, I can't find a good description of how to interpret the output and I don't understand the difference between clone_color and native_color, or the difference between "promotion scores" and the various instances of "allocation scores", nor does it really tell me what is contributing to the scores. Where does the -INFINITY allocation score come from for example?

At this point neither node has clear preference as master for
king_resource, so I would expect pacemaker to prefer the current node
(it has to break tie somehow). Master scores are normally set by
resource agents so you really need to investigate what your agent does
and how scores are set when this happens.
