I have noticed that apt-get install -t jessie-backports pacemaker on Debian Jessie 8.9 also installs package openhpid, but that systemctl status openhpid.service subsequently reports that the openhpid.service is not running, because no configuration has yet been provided in /etc/openhpi/openhpi.conf:

openhpid[17913]: ERROR: (init.c, 76, OpenHPI is not configured.  See openhpi.conf file.)
systemd[1]: openhpid.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=8/n/a

Is it correct to assume that OpenHPI is optional (not mandatory) to the operation of Pacemaker (with Corosync) and that a running instance of openhpid is not needed (and the cited error message can be ignored)? I tend to believe this is the case partly because I have found no information on editing openhpi.conf in any of the Pacemaker tutorials.

You're correct; you won't need to do anything with OpenHPI after installing in order to get a Pacemaker cluster going.

OpenHPI is a dependency of the cluster-glue package, which is a dependency of pacemaker, which is why it's getting installed.
