Description Tomas Jelinek 2015-11-12 11:38:49 UTC

Support for resource templates is missing in pcs. It is not possible to manage resource templates and use them in constraints nor resource creation. Pcs is not able to properly manage resources referencing templates.

See Chapter 12. Resource Templates in Pacemaker Explained:
http://clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1-pcs/html-single/Pacemaker_Explained/index.html#_configuring_resources_with_templates

Comment 1 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2015-11-26 17:26:33 UTC

This currently prevents "clufter ccs2pcscmd" emitting pcs commands of how
shared fence devices are encoded in CIB during the conversion process right
now (not that it cannot be changed, but it is inconvenient at the very
least).

Comment 4 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2018-05-26 07:42:38 UTC

Similarly to [bug 1281358 comment 2], this could be worked around
using appropriate (currently non-existent) switch to cibadmin until
there's a proper support delivered in pcs.  Note that unline id-refs,
templates are first-class concept, substantially easier to present
to the users.

Re [comment 1]:
One of the options is to implement "template" exploding in XSLT,
which could then be reused as a filter in clufter easily, so
if the target pcs would be the one that doesn't resolve this
bug yet, it would resort to using that filter on the path
from CIB to pcs commands.

Comment 5 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2018-06-15 12:25:27 UTC

Templates _do_ get used -- as opposed to other syntanctic extensions
(extravagance); see the conclusion of the recent upstream community
survey (not very representative but at least some backing numbers):
