How do I make a RHEL HA resource non-critical?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • What is the __independent_subtree attribute?
  • Is there a way to configure certain resources as non-critical?
  • Can I configure my cluster to attempt to restart failed resources rather than failing the entire service?
  • Can I configure my cluster service to not fail if a non-critical resource fails?

Environment

  • Red Hat Cluster Suite 4+
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5, 6 (with the High Availability Add on) with rgmanager
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6, 7, 8 (with the High Availability Add on) with pacemaker
  • Cluster service in rgmanager configured with __independent_subtree options (for example):

    <service autostart="1" domain="node2_prefer" name="Service01" recovery="relocate">
            <ip ref="10.10.10.12/24">
                    <script __independent_subtree="2" __max_restarts="3" __restart_expire_time="30" ref="httpd"/>
            </ip>
    </service>
