Thank you @rck. `resource-agents` was not installed. I don’t know exactly where I should know this from - I can’t find anything about it in the docs. I’m just starting to get into the topic, maybe the documentation is just not intended for people like me. Edit: found this: > [@Error: Unable to find agent 'nvmet-subsystem', try specifying its full name](https://forums.linbit.com/t/error-unable-to-find-agent-nvmet-subsystem-try-specifying-its-full-name/245/2): > > It sounds like you might just be missing the resource-agents package. It doesn’t look like the guide explicitly mentions this package should be installed. # dnf install resource-agents If you can confirm this, that would be great, and I can update the guide. I was able to start `drbd-reactor.service` normally. However, `systemctl start ocf.rs@service_ip_linstor_db.service` fails with the following error: ```auto × ocf.rs@service_ip_linstor_db.service - drbd-reactor controlled ocf.rs@service_ip_linstor_db Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ocf.rs@.service;
