Description Tomas Jelinek 2015-11-12 11:34:54 UTC

id-ref is described in Pacemaker Explained chapter 9.4. Reusing Rules, Options and Sets of Operations
http://clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1-pcs/html-single/Pacemaker_Explained/index.html#s-reusing-config-elements

It is not possible to reference CIB elements using id-ref in pcs. Also pcs cannot properly handle a CIB with id-refs - id-refs are ignored.

Comment 2 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2018-05-26 07:36:12 UTC

In theory, pcs can avoid any contact with id-refs completely, just
using appropriate (currently non-existent) switch to cibadmin would
be enough:

Mentioned unfolding is now important also in the context of schema
upgrades.
