[ClusterLabs] Antw: [EXT] Containers as pcs resource

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

My advice is to write an OCF RA, not a systemd service, because with the first option you have more control over the things happening. Not to talk about ocf-tester...
In general you can "attach" pacemaker to a service already running, but the RA has to be correct (i.e.: detect the resouirce as "running" when it is).

Regards,
Ulrich
