However, as far as I remember, the resources use auto-promotion, so while
the resource is in allow-two-primaries mode, it is normally only in the
Primary
role on one node, unless a live migration is in progress where both
nodes open
the device simultaneously.
Upon closing the device, it switches back to the Secondary role when
auto-promotion is used.
