default-resource-stickiness cluster property is deprecated

This document (7023809) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 12

Situation

After an update during normal cluster operations with

crm

shell or via scripts calling the crm shell there might be errors like

gitanes:~ # crm configure <some_command>
ERROR: Warnings found during check: config may not be valid
Do you still want to commit (y/n)? y

which will break scripts and might puzzle Administrators. While the normal cluster operations are not affected.

Resolution

Invoking

crm verify

will show the culprit and the solution as

warning: unpack_config: Support for 'default-resource-stickiness' cluster property is deprecated and will be removed in a future release (use resource-stickiness in rsc_defaults instead)

the easiest solution for this issue is to set the proper parameter with

crm configure rsc_defaults resource-stickiness=1000

and then to remove via

crm configure edit

the old deprecated one "default-resource-stickiness".

Please keep in mind that the above given 1000 as a value is only an example and should be adjusted to the old value of default-resource-stickiness.

No stop or restart of any cluster element is necessary for this adjustment.

Cause

The property value

default-resource-stickiness

is deprecated.
