[Cluster-devel] resource-agents 3.9.6 released

[Cluster-devel] resource-agents 3.9.6 released

[Dejan Muhamedagic]

Hello,

We've tagged today (Jan 30) a new stable resource-agents release
(3.9.6) in the upstream repository.

Big thanks go to all contributors! Needless to say, without you
this release would not be possible.

It has been almost two years since the release v3.9.5, hence the
number of changes is quite big. Still, every precaution has been
taken not to introduce regressions.

These are the most significant new features in the linux-ha set:

- new resource agents:

	clvm
	dnsupdate
	docker
	galera
	iface-bridge
	iface-vlan
	kamailio
	nfsnotify
	sg_persist
	vsftpd
	zabbixserver

- the drbd agent was removed (it has been deprecated since quite
  some time in favour of ocf:linbit:drbd)

The full list of changes for the linux-ha RA set is available in
ChangeLog
(https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource-agents/blob/v3.9.6/ChangeLog)

Use the agents introduced with this release with due care: they
probably haven't got a lot of field testing.

Please upgrade at the earliest opportunity.

Best,

The resource-agents maintainers

Big thanks to Dejan.
Who once again finally did,
what I meant to do in late 2013 already, but simply pushed off
for over a year (and no-one else stepped up, either...)

So: Thank You.

I just today noticed that apparently some resource agents
accept and use parameters that are not documented in their meta data.

I now came up with a bash two-liner,
which likely still produces a lot of noise,
because it does not take into account that some agents
"source" additional helper files.

But here is the list:

--- used, but not described
+++ described, but apparently not used.

EvmsSCC           +OCF_RESKEY_ignore_deprecation
Evmsd             +OCF_RESKEY_ignore_deprecation

	?? intentionally undocumented ??

IPaddr            +OCF_RESKEY_iflabel
IPaddr            -OCF_RESKEY_netmask

	Not sure.


IPaddr2           -OCF_RESKEY_netmask

	intentional, backward compat, quoting the agent:
        # Note: We had a version out there for a while which used
        # netmask instead of cidr_netmask. Don't remove this aliasing code!


Please help review these:

IPsrcaddr         -OCF_RESKEY_ip
IPsrcaddr         +OCF_RESKEY_cidr_netmask
IPv6addr.c        -OCF_RESKEY_cidr_netmask
IPv6addr.c        -OCF_RESKEY_ipv6addr
IPv6addr.c        -OCF_RESKEY_nic
LinuxSCSI         +OCF_RESKEY_ignore_deprecation
Squid             -OCF_RESKEY_squid_confirm_trialcount
Squid             -OCF_RESKEY_squid_opts
Squid             -OCF_RESKEY_squid_suspend_trialcount
SysInfo           -OCF_RESKEY_clone
WAS6              -OCF_RESKEY_profileName
apache            +OCF_RESKEY_use_ipv6
conntrackd        -OCF_RESKEY_conntrackd
dnsupdate         -OCF_RESKEY_opts
dnsupdate         +OCF_RESKEY_nsupdate_opts
docker            -OCF_RESKEY_container
ethmonitor        -OCF_RESKEY_check_level
ethmonitor        -OCF_RESKEY_multiplicator

galera            +OCF_RESKEY_additional_parameters
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_binary
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_client_binary
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_config
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_datadir
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_enable_creation
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_group
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_log
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_pid
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_socket
galera            +OCF_RESKEY_user

	Probably all bogus, it source "mysql-common.sh".
	Someone please have a more detailed look.


iSCSILogicalUnit  +OCF_RESKEY_product_id
iSCSILogicalUnit  +OCF_RESKEY_vendor_id

	false positive

	surprise: florian learned some wizardry back then ;-)
	for var in scsi_id scsi_sn vendor_id product_id; do
		envar="OCF_RESKEY_${var}"
		if [ -n "${!envar}" ]; then
			params="${params} ${var}=${!envar}"
		fi
	done

	If such magic is used elsewhere,
	that could mask "Used but not documented" cases.


iface-bridge      -OCF_RESKEY_multicast_querier

!!	Yep, that needs to be documented!

mysql-proxy       -OCF_RESKEY_group
mysql-proxy       -OCF_RESKEY_user

	Oops, apparently my magic scriptlet below needs to learn to
	ignore script comments...

named             -OCF_RESKEY_rootdir

!!	Probably a bug:
	named_rootdir is documented.


nfsserver         -OCF_RESKEY_nfs_notify_cmd

!!	Yep, that needs to be documented!


nginx             -OCF_RESKEY_client
nginx             +OCF_RESKEY_testclient
!!	client is used, but not documented,
!!	testclient is documented, but unused...
	Bug?

nginx             -OCF_RESKEY_nginx

	Bogus. Needs to be dropped from leading comment block.

oracle            -OCF_RESKEY_tns_admin

!!	Yep, that needs to be documented!

pingd             +OCF_RESKEY_ignore_deprecation

	?? intentionally undocumented ??

pingd             -OCF_RESKEY_update

!!	Yep, is undocumented.

sg_persist        +OCF_RESKEY_binary
sg_persist        -OCF_RESKEY_sg_persist_binary

!!	BUG? binary vs sg_persist_binary

varnish           -OCF_RESKEY_binary

!!	Yep, is undocumented.


Please someone find the time to prepare pull requests
to fix these...

Thanks,

	Lars

List was generated by below scriptlet,
which can be improved.  The improved version should probably be part of
a "unit test" check, when building resource-agents.
