Cluster service still relocates when non-critical (__independent_subtree="2") fails to start in RHEL 5 or 6

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The __independent_subtree="2" option does not seem to take effect when a resource fails while the service is starting
  • When a script resource is marked as non-critical (__independent_subtree="2"), and during service start the non-critical resource fails, it forces the service to failover to another node. By our expectation and understanding of non-critical attribute. the resource should have failed and service would be marked as partial leaving the other resources online on that initial node.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 Update 6 or 6 Update 1 or later with the High Availability Add On
  • rgmanager
  • One or more resources marked with __independent_subtree="2" in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf
