crm_master (8)
crm_master — determine which resource instance to promote to master
Synopsis
crm_master [-V|-Q] -D [-l lifetime]
crm_master [-V|-Q] -G [-l lifetime]
crm_master [-V|-Q] -v string [-l string]
Description
crm_master is called from inside the resource agent scripts to determine which re-
source instance should be promoted to master mode. It should never be used from the
command line and is just a helper utility for the resource agents. RAs use crm_master
to promote a particular instance to master mode or to remove this preference from it.
By assigning a lifetime, determine whether this setting should survive a reboot of the
node (set lifetime to forever) or whether it should not survive a reboot (set lifetime
to reboot).
A resource agent needs to determine on which resource crm_master should operate.
These queries must be handled inside the resource agent script. The actual calls of
crm_master follow a syntax similar to those of the crm_attribute command.
Options
