pcs-0.12.2

The 0.12.2 release adds a new ‘--no-stop’ flag for deleting resources. This separates the action of skipping stopping of resources before deletion from overriding validation errors, which is the current combined behavior of the ‘--force’ flag. For instance, when removing the last fence device, PCS suggests using ‘--force’ to bypass the validation error, not mentioning the side effect of not stopping the device. Now, you can use ‘"--future --force’" to only bypass validation errors while still stopping resources before deletion. Note that nothing changes in the ‘--force’ flag behavior for now, but in the next major version, ‘--force’ will not skip stopping of resources before deletion.

Other notable improvements also include verifying meta attribute names when updating primitive resources to avoid misconfiguration. Additionally, adding descriptions to CIB elements is now possible via new commands ‘pcs cib element description’, with a shortcut for resources - ‘pcs resource|stonith description’.

Changelog

  • pcs status query resource (broken since 0.11.8)
• Handle query limit errors coming from rubygem-rack (RHEL-90151)

pcs-0.12.1

This release contains a regression fix for commands that delete resources, booth resources, stonith devices and remote nodes. The commands would fail when capitalization of target-role meta attribute value didn't follow the Pacemaker specification. The booth command has been broken since 0.12.0 and the remaining commands since 0.12.0b1.

On the news functionality front, pcs now allows you to rename clusters with the new cluster rename command. Also, exporting cluster configuration was further expanded to alerts, node utilization and attributes.

Configuration errors not caught by the CIB schema are now easier to spot as pcs runs additional CIB checks in cluster cib-push and cluster edit commands. These warnings are now also part of the pcs status output.

The resource meta and stonith meta commands were fully reimplemented. The resource meta command also now supports bundle resources. Additional checks were added to prevent inadvertent updates of remote-node and remote-addr meta attributes.

pcs-0.12.0.2

We're sorry for publishing the 0.12.0.1 release without one of the tests that was mistakenly removed during cherry-picking. Functionally, there is nothing wrong with the release, the missing test however causes the automated test suite to fail. This release fixes that issue.

pcs-0.11.9

As this release was developed alongside a new major version release, it brings a lot of fixes and new features. It also continues with deprecations for Pacemaker 3 that started in the previous version (0.11.8).

The pcs resource delete command gained the ability to delete tags and multiple resources at once. It has been completely rewritten so it should also be faster and provide more informative output.

Ability to export configuration as commands or in json format was extended to stonith levels and tags.
