4.2.2. Linux Standard Base
LSB resource agents are more commonly known as init scripts. If a full path is not given, they are assumed to be located in /etc/init.d.
Commonly, they are provided by the OS distribution. In order to be used with a Pacemaker cluster, they must conform to the LSB specification.
Many distributions or particular software packages claim LSB compliance but ship with broken init scripts. For details on how to check whether your init script is LSB-compatible, see the Resource Agents section of Pacemaker Administration. Common problematic violations of the LSB standard include:
Not implementing the status operation at all
Not observing the correct exit status codes for start/stop/status actions
Starting a started resource returns an error
Stopping a stopped resource returns an error
Remember to make sure the computer is not configured to start any services at boot time — that should be controlled by the cluster.
