  • As of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8, you can configure Pacemaker so that when a node shuts down cleanly, the resources attached to the node will be locked to the node and unable to start elsewhere until they start again when the node that has shut down rejoins the cluster. This allows you to power down nodes during maintenance windows when service outages are acceptable without causing that node’s resources to fail over to other nodes in the cluster. For information on configuring resources to remain stopped on clean node shutdown, see Section 9.9, “ Configuring Resources to Remain Stopped on Clean Node Shutdown (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8 and later) ”.
