6.9. Manually Moving Resources Around the Cluster

There are always times when an administrator needs to override the cluster and force resources to move to a specific location. By updating our previous location constraint with a score of INFINITY, WebSite will be forced to move to pcmk-1.
# pcs constraint location WebSite prefers pcmk-1=INFINITY
# pcs constraint all
Location Constraints:
  Resource: WebSite
    Enabled on: pcmk-1 (score:INFINITY) (id:location-WebSite-pcmk-1-INFINITY)
Ordering Constraints:
  start ClusterIP then start WebSite (Mandatory) (id:order-ClusterIP-WebSite-mandatory)
Colocation Constraints:
  WebSite with ClusterIP (INFINITY) (id:colocation-WebSite-ClusterIP-INFINITY)

6.9.1. Giving Control Back to the Cluster

Once we’ve finished whatever activity that required us to move the resources to pcmk-1, in our case nothing, we can then allow the cluster to resume normal operation with the unmove command. Since we previously configured a default stickiness, the resources will remain on pcmk-1.
# pcs constraint all
Location Constraints:
  Resource: WebSite
    Enabled on: pcmk-1 (score:INFINITY) (id:location-WebSite-pcmk-1-INFINITY)
Ordering Constraints:
  start ClusterIP then start WebSite (Mandatory) (id:order-ClusterIP-WebSite-mandatory)
Colocation Constraints:
  WebSite with ClusterIP (INFINITY) (id:colocation-WebSite-ClusterIP-INFINITY)
# pcs constraint rm location-WebSite-pcmk-1-INFINITY
# pcs constraint
Location Constraints:
Ordering Constraints:
  start ClusterIP then start WebSite
Colocation Constraints:
  WebSite with ClusterIP
Note that the constraint is now gone. If we check the cluster status, we can also see that as expected the resources are still active on pcmk-1.
