Hi Yu, maybe you could make use of the __independent_subtree resource tag attribute? See http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html /Cluster_Administration/s1-clust-rsc-failure-rec-CA.html Regards Ralph ________________________________ From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of yu song Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 02:00 To: linux clustering Subject: non-critical resource in redhat cluster Dear all, Does anyone have experience to setup non-critical resource in redhat cluster? in my case, we would like a cluster behavior like this. 1. infrastructure level resource (such as file system, IP) fails can trigger an entire service fail over. 2. Application level resource fails will NOT trigger an entire service fail over. obviously I would like set application resource as non-critical. but have not seen any place to explain how to. thanks Yu -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
