{pve} 'ha-manager' works like an "automated" administrator. First, you
configure what resources (VMs, containers, ...) it should
manage. 'ha-manager' then observes correct functionality, and handles
service failover to another node in case of errors. 'ha-manager' can
also handle normal user requests which may start, stop, relocate and
migrate a service.

'ha-manager' handles management of user-defined cluster services. This

The cluster resource manager daemon also handles restarting and relocating
services to another node in the event of failures.
A service (also called resource) is uniquely identified by a service ID Resources
(SID) which consists of the service type and an type specific id, e.g.: ---------
'vm:100'. That example would be a service of type vm (Virtual machine)
