[Linux-HA] Learning the CIB

[vini.bill at gmail.com]

Hi guys.

    As I said in a previous mail, I'm Writing a document teaching how to use
the CIB Tags, how to place them, what they mean and something more that I
haven't foreseen. I intend to contribute it back to the project. I'd like to
discuss some topics that I haven't understood very well so as I can write
about them. I'll also make some minor comparsions with XHTML to make things
a bit clearer to me but I won't make these on the final text.

    Today, before leaving work I'll seek somewhere to post it so you can
take a look at my progress. It`ll be in a Wiki format since I`m going to
publish it on the wiki we have here and to make easier to add to the main
documentation.

1) Is there any directive that isn't contained on the <cib> </cib> ? Can I
create groups of configurations ( if yes, what would be the necessity to
have it? ) ?

2) There are only 4 configuration tags: (1) constraints, (2) crm_config and
(3) resources and the (4) nodes. Is that right ?

3) What does the empty <nodes/> tag mean? The CRM daemon will fill in every
node automagically ?

4) What do operations do in a primitive?

5) What is the difference between <atributes> and <instance_atributes> ??

6) Is there any tag missing on this page (
http://www.linux-ha.org/ClusterResourceManager/DTD1.0/Annotated ) that I
should look for by myself ?

7) What does the empty <status/> tag mean?
