Hi!

I wonder whether it's possible to run a monitoring op only if some specific 
resource is up.
Background: We have some resource that runs fine without NFS, but the start, 
stop and monitor operations will just hang if NFS is down. In effect the 
monitor operation will time out, the cluster will try to recover, calling the 
stop operation, which in turn will time out, making things worse (i.e.: causing 
a node fence).

So my idea was to pause the monitoing operation while NFS is down (NFS itself 
is controlled by the cluster and should recover "rather soon" TM).

Is that possible?
And before you ask: No, I have not written that RA that has the problem; a 
multi-million-dollar company wrote it (Years before I had written a monitor for 
HP-UX' cluster that did not have this problem, even though the configuration 
files were read from NFS (It's not magic: Just periodically copy them to shared 
memory, and read the config from shared memory).

Regards,
Ulrich
