[pve-devel] [PATCH docs 2/5] ha: rules: update about mixed usage of node and resource affinity rules

[Daniel Kral <d.kral@proxmox.com>]

As HA resources can be part of node and resource affinity rules at the
same time in simpler cases, update the relevant sections about specific
interactions and restrictions.

+Interactions between Node and Positive Resource Affinity Rules
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+If there are HA resources in a node affinity rule, which are also part of a
+positive resource affinity rules, then all the other HA resources in the
+positive resource affinity rule inherit the node affinity rule as well.
+
+For example, if the HA resources `vm:100`, `vm:101`, and `vm:102` are in a
+positive resource affinity rule, and `vm:102` is in a node affinity rule, which
+restricts `vm:102` to be only on `node3`, then `vm:100` and `vm:101` are
+restricted to be only on `node3` as well.
+
+Note that if there are two or more HA resources of a positive resource affinity
+rules, which are in different node affinity rules, then those will be disabled
+as it is currently not supported. For more information on these cases, see the
+section about xref:ha_manager_rule_conflicts[rule conflicts and errors] below.
