Scoping

Most keywords in a service configuration support a scoping syntax allowing each node agent to interpret the value differently.

Syntax

A scoped keyword is written as:

<keyword>@<scope> = <value>

Supported scopes are:

  • <nodename> The hostname of the node we want the keyword value interpreted as <value>

  • nodes The keyword value is interpreted as <value> on all service nodes

  • drpnodes The keyword value is interpreted as <value> on all service DRP nodes

  • encapnodes The keyword value is interpreted as <value> on all service encapsulated nodes

  • flex_primary The keyword value is interpreted as <value> on the flex service primary node

  • drp_flex_primary The keyword value is interpreted as <value> on the flex service disaster recovery primary node

Examples

Use a Different Fs Type on DRP Nodes

[DEFAULT]
nodes = n1 n2
drpnode = n3

[fs#1]
type = ext4
type@drpnodes = xfs
...

Use a Different Nodes List at Encapsulated Level

[DEFAULT]
nodes = n1 n2
encapnodes = vm1
nodes@encapnodes = vm1
...

Disable a Resource on a Node

[DEFAULT]
nodes = n1 n2
drpnodes = n3

[ip#backup]
disable@n3 = true
...

Precedence

When a section has multiple definitions of the same keyword, the most specific takes precedence.

If multiple definitions of the same rank are found, the last takes precedence.

Examples

[DEFAULT]
drpnodes = n3
...

[share#1]
disable = true
disable@drpnodes = false
...

This resource is enabled on n3 because the generic disable is overriden by the more specific disable@drpnodes scoped definition.

[DEFAULT]
drpnodes = n3
...

[share#1]
disable = true
disable@drpnodes = false
disable@n3 = true
...

This resource is disabled on n3 because the generic disable and disable@drpnodes are overriden by the more specific disable@n3 scoped definition.

[DEFAULT]
drpnodes = n3
...

[share#1]
disable@n3 = true
disable@n3 = false
...

This resource is disabled on n3 because the last of the 2 same ranked scoped definition takes precedence.
