<p>Primary and secondary partitions are unique to cluster resource groups
(CRG). For a primary-backup CRG, a primary partition is defined as the partition
that contains the node identified as the primary access point. A secondary
partition is defined as a partition that does not contain the node identified
as the primary access point.</p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />For peer CRG, if the recovery domain nodes are fully contained
within one partition, it will be the primary partition. If the recovery domain
nodes span a partition, there will be no primary partition. Both partitions
will be secondary partitions. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />In the case of a cluster administrative domain, if the domain
is partitioned into two or more partitions, then each partition will continue
to operate as a single group. Change to resources will continue to be synchronized
within each partition. When the partitions are merged back together, the system
will synchronize the changes from each partition. The end result is that the
monitored resources will be consistent across the domain. You cannot add or
remove MREs while the cluster administrative domain is partitioned.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>

<p> During a primary secondary merge as shown in the diagram above, the following
situations are possible:</p>
<ol><li>1 and 3</li>
<li>1 and 4</li>
<li>2 and 3 (Cannot happen since a majority partition has the primary node
active and must have a copy of the CRG.)</li>

active and must have a copy of the CRG.)</li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Primary-secondary merge situations</h4><p>A copy of the
CRG object is sent to all nodes in the secondary partition. The following
actions can result on the nodes in the secondary partition:</p>
<ul><li>No action since the secondary node is not in the CRG's recovery domain.</li>
<li>A secondary node's copy of the CRG is updated with the data from the primary
partition.</li>
<li>The CRG object is deleted from a secondary node since the secondary node
is no longer in the CRG's recovery domain.</li>
<li>The CRG object is created on the secondary node since the object does
not exist. However, the node is in the recovery domain of the CRG copy that
is sent from the primary partition.</li>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Secondary-secondary merge situation 1</h4><p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />For
a primary-backup CRG, the node with the most recent change to the CRG is selected
to send a copy of the CRG object to all nodes in the other partition. If multiple
nodes are selected because they all appear to have the most recent change,
the recovery domain order is used to select the node. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />When
merging two secondary partitions for peer CRG, the version of the peer CRG
with Active status will copied to other nodes in the other partition. If both
partitions have the same status for peer CRG, the partition which contains
the first node listed in the cluster resource group recovery domain will be
copied to nodes in another partition.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The
following actions can occur on the receiving partition nodes in either a primary-backup
CRG or a peer CRG:<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<ul><li>No action since the node is not the CRG's recovery domain.</li>
<li>The CRG is created on the node since the node is in the recovery domain
of the copy of the CRG object it receives.</li>
<li>The CRG is deleted from the node since the node is not in the recovery
domain of the copy of the CRG object it receives.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Secondary-secondary merge situations 2 and 3</h4><p>A node
from the partition which has a copy of the CRG object is selected to send
the object data to all nodes in the other partition. The CRG object may be
created on nodes in the receiving partition if the node is in the CRG's recovery
domain.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Secondary-secondary merge situation 4</h4><p>Internal data
is exchanged to ensure consistency throughout the cluster.</p>
<p>A primary
partition can subsequently be partitioned into a primary and secondary partition.
If the primary node fails, Cluster Resource Service (CRS) detects it as a
node failure. The primary partition becomes a secondary partition. The same
result occurs if you ended the primary node that uses the End Cluster Node
API. A secondary partition can become a primary partition if the primary node
becomes active in the partition either through a rejoin or merge operation.</p>
<p>For
a merge operation, the exit program is called on all nodes in the CRG's recovery
domain regardless of which partition the node is in. The same action code
as rejoin is used. No roles are changed as a result of the merge, but the
membership status of the nodes in the CRG's recovery domain is changed from <var class="varname">partition</var> to <var class="varname">active</var>.
Once all partitions merge together, the partition condition is cleared, and
all CRG API's can be used.</p>
