<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Is
it possible for the rgmanager scripts to distinguish between a managed
relocation of a service from a relocation caused by the failure of the current
service ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>In
the event of a relocation due to failure, I want to perform some
reconfiguration of the replacement - in this case, updating some transaction
counters in a MySQL server - before it takes over.    I can do
this using a script resource.  However, if the relocation is a managed
administration action, I don't want to do this reconfiguration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>One
approach I am considering is to create some sort of sentinel service, which
would be allowed to just fail if the node it is currently bound to fails. 
Under a managed relocation, the sentinel could be relocated first, and then the
script service relocated.  The script could then check whether the
sentinel was bound to the same node, and if so, not perform the
reconfiguration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>It
sounds a bit convoluted though:  is there an easier way ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
