5.2. Adding a Resource

The first thing we should do is configure an IP address. Regardless of where the cluster service(s) are running, we need a consistent address to contact them on. Here I will choose and add 192.168.122.101 as the floating address, give it the imaginative name ClusterIP and tell the cluster to check that its running every 30 seconds.

Important

The chosen address must not be one already associated with a physical node

# crm configure primitive ClusterIP ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 \
     params ip=192.168.122.101 cidr_netmask=32 \
     op monitor interval=30s

The other important piece of information here is ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2.

This tells Pacemaker three things about the resource you want to add. The first field, ocf, is the standard to which the resource script conforms to and where to find it. The second field is specific to OCF resources and tells the cluster which namespace to find the resource script in, in this case heartbeat. The last field indicates the name of the resource script.

To obtain a list of the available resource classes, run

# crm ra classesheartbeat
lsb ocf / heartbeat pacemakerstonith

To then find all the OCF resource agents provided by Pacemaker and Heartbeat, run

# crm ra list ocf pacemaker

Now verify that the IP resource has been added and display the cluster’s status to see that it is now active.

# crm configure shownode pcmk-1
