Its goal is to assist as much as possible with the +configuration and maintenance of Pacemaker-based High Availability +clusters. + +For more information on Pacemaker itself, see http://clusterlabs.org/. + +`crm` works both as a command-line tool to be called directly from the +system shell, and as an interactive shell with extensive tab +completion and help. + +The primary focus of the `crm` shell is to provide a simplified and +consistent interface to Pacemaker, but it also provides tools for +managing the creation and configuration of High Availability clusters +from scratch. To learn more about this aspect of `crm`, see the +`cluster` section below. + +The `crm` shell can be used to manage every aspect of configuring and +maintaining a cluster. It provides a simplified line-based syntax on +top of the XML configuration format used by Pacemaker, commands for +starting and stopping resources, tools for exploring the history of a +cluster including log scraping and a set of cluster scripts useful for +automating the setup and installation of services on the cluster +nodes. + +The `crm` shell is line oriented: every command must start and finish +on the same line. It is possible to use a continuation character (+\+) +to write one command in two or more lines. The continuation character +is commonly used when displaying configurations. + +[[topics_CommandLine,Command line options]] +OPTIONS +------- +*-f, --file*='FILE':: + Load commands from the given file. If a dash +-+ is used in place + of a file name, `crm` will read commands from the shell standard + input (`stdin`). + +*-c, --cib*='CIB':: + Start the session using the given shadow CIB file. + Equivalent to +cib use <CIB>+. + +*-D, --display=*'OUTPUT_TYPE':: + Choose one of the output options: +plain+, +color-always+, +color+, + or +uppercase+. The default is +color+ if the terminal emulation + supports colors. Otherwise, +plain+ is used. + +*-F, --force*:: + Make `crm` proceed with applying changes where it would normally + ask the user to confirm before proceeding. This option is mainly + useful in scripts, and should be used with care. + +*-w, --wait*:: + Make `crm` wait for the cluster transition to finish (for the + changes to take effect) after each processed line. + +*-H, --history*='DIR|FILE|SESSION':: + A directory or file containing a cluster report to load + into the `history` commands, or the name of a previously + saved history session. + +*-h, --help*:: + Print help page. + +*--version*:: + Print crmsh version and build information (Mercurial Hg changeset + hash). + +*-d, --debug*:: + Print verbose debugging information. + +*-R, --regression-tests*:: + Enables extra verbose trace logging used by the regression + tests. Logs all external calls made by crmsh. + +*--scriptdir*='DIR':: + Extra directory where crm looks for cluster scripts, or a list of + directories separated by semi-colons (e.g. +/dir1;/dir2;etc.+). + +*-o, --opt*='OPTION=VALUE':: + Set crmsh option temporarily. If the options are saved using + +options save+ then the value passed here will also be saved. + Multiple options can be set by using +-o+ multiple times. + +[[topics_Introduction,Introduction]] +== Introduction + +This section of the user guide covers general topics about the user +interface and describes some of the features of `crmsh` in detail. + +[[topics_Introduction_Interface,User interface]] +=== User interface + +The main purpose of `crmsh` is to provide a simple yet powerful +interface to the cluster stack. There are two main modes of operation +with the user interface of `crmsh`: + +* Command line (single-shot) use - Use `crm` as a regular UNIX command + from your usual shell. `crm` has full bash completion built in, so + using it in this manner should be as comfortable and familiar as + using any other command-line tool. + +* Interactive mode - By calling `crm` without arguments, or by calling + it with only a sublevel as argument, `crm` enters the interactive + mode. In this mode, it acts as its own command shell, which + remembers which sublevel you are currently in and allows for rapid + and convenient execution of multiple commands within the same + sublevel. This mode also has full tab completion, as well as + built-in interactive help and syntax highlighting. + +Here are a few examples of using `crm` both as a command-line tool and +as an interactive shell: + +.Command line (one-shot) use: +........ +# crm resource stop www_app +........ + +.Interactive use: +........ +# crm +crm(live)# resource +crm(live)resource# unmanage tetris_1 +crm(live)resource# up +crm(live)# node standby node4 +........ + +.Cluster configuration: +........ +# crm configure<<EOF + # + # resources + # + primitive disk0 iscsi \ + params portal=192.168.2.108:3260 target=iqn.2008-07.com.suse:disk0 + primitive fs0 Filesystem \ + params device=/dev/disk/by-label/disk0 directory=/disk0 fstype=ext3 + primitive internal_ip IPaddr params ip=192.168.1.101 + primitive apache apache \ + params configfile=/disk0/etc/apache2/site0.conf + primitive apcfence stonith:apcsmart \ + params ttydev=/dev/ttyS0 hostlist="node1 node2" \ + op start timeout=60s + primitive pingd pingd \ + params name=pingd dampen=5s multiplier=100 host_list="r1 r2" + # + # monitor apache and the UPS + # + monitor apache 60s:30s + monitor apcfence 120m:60s + # + # cluster layout + # + group internal_www \ + disk0 fs0 internal_ip apache + clone fence apcfence \ + meta globally-unique=false clone-max=2 clone-node-max=1 + clone conn pingd \ + meta globally-unique=false clone-max=2 clone-node-max=1 + location node_pref internal_www \ + rule 50: #uname eq node1 \ + rule pingd: defined pingd + # + # cluster properties + # + property stonith-enabled=true + commit +EOF +........ + +The `crm` interface is hierarchical, with commands organized into +separate levels by functionality. To list the available levels and +commands, either execute +help <level>+, or, if at the top level of +the shell, simply typing `help` will provide an overview of all +available levels and commands. + +The +(live)+ string in the `crm` prompt signifies that the current CIB +in use is the cluster live configuration. It is also possible to +work with so-called <<topics_Features_Shadows,shadow CIBs>>. These are separate, inactive +configurations stored in files, that can be applied and thereby +replace the live configuration at any time. + +[[topics_Introduction_Completion,Tab completion]] +=== Tab completion + +The `crm` makes extensive use of tab completion. The completion +is both static (i.e. for `crm` commands) and dynamic. The latter +takes into account the current status of the cluster or +information from installed resource agents. Sometimes, completion +may also be used to get short help on resource parameters. Here +are a few examples: + +............... +crm(live)resource# <TAB><TAB> +bye failcount move restart unmigrate +cd help param show unmove +cleanup list promote start up +demote manage quit status utilization +end meta refresh stop +exit migrate reprobe unmanage + +crm(live)configure# primitive fence-1 <TAB><TAB> +heartbeat: lsb: ocf: stonith: + +crm(live)configure# primitive fence-1 stonith:<TAB><TAB> +apcmaster external/ippower9258 fence_legacy +apcmastersnmp external/kdumpcheck ibmhmc +apcsmart external/libvirt ipmilan + +crm(live)configure# primitive fence-1 stonith:ipmilan params <TAB><TAB> +auth= hostname= ipaddr= login= password= port= priv= + +crm(live)configure# primitive fence-1 stonith:ipmilan params auth=<TAB><TAB> +auth* (string) + The authorization type of the IPMI session ("none", "straight", "md2", or "md5") +............... + +`crmsh` also comes with bash completion usable directly from the +system shell. This should be installed automatically with the command +itself. + +[[topics_Introduction_Shorthand,Shorthand syntax]] +=== Shorthand syntax + +When using the `crm` shell to manage clusters, you will end up typing +a lot of commands many times over. Clear command names like ++configure+ help in understanding and learning to use the cluster +shell, but is easy to misspell and is tedious to type repeatedly. The +interactive mode and tab completion both help with this, but the `crm` +shell also has the ability to understand a variety of shorthand +aliases for all of the commands. + +For example, instead of typing `crm status`, you can type `crm st` or +`crm stat`. Instead of `crm configure` you can type `crm cfg` or even +`crm cf`. `crm resource` can be shorted as `crm rsc`, and so on. + +The exact list of accepted aliases is too long to print in full, but +experimentation and typos should help in discovering more of them. + +[[topics_Features,Features]] +== Features + +The feature set of crmsh covers a wide range of functionality, and +understanding how and when to use the various features of the shell +can be difficult. This section of the guide describes some of the +features and use cases of `crmsh` in more depth. The intention is to +provide a deeper understanding of these features, but also to serve as +a guide to using them. + +[[topics_Features_Shadows,Shadow CIB usage]] +=== Shadow CIB usage + +A Shadow CIB is a normal cluster configuration stored in a file. +They may be manipulated in much the same way as the _live_ CIB, with +the key difference that changes to a shadow CIB have no effect on the +actual cluster resources. An administrator may choose to apply any of +them to the cluster, thus replacing the running configuration with the +one found in the shadow CIB. + +The `crm` prompt always contains the name of the configuration which +is currently in use, or the string _live_ if using the live cluster +configuration. + +When editing the configuration in the `configure` level, no changes +are actually applied until the `commit` command is executed. It is +possible to start editing a configuration as usual, but instead of +committing the changes to the active CIB, save them to a shadow CIB. + +The following example `configure` session demonstrates how this can be +done: +............... +crm(live)configure# cib new test-2 +INFO: test-2 shadow CIB created +crm(test-2)configure# commit +............... + +[[topics_Features_Checks,Configuration semantic checks]] +=== Configuration semantic checks + +Resource definitions may be checked against the meta-data +provided with the resource agents. These checks are currently +carried out: + +- are required parameters set +- existence of defined parameters +- timeout values for operations + +The parameter checks are obvious and need no further explanation. +Failures in these checks are treated as configuration errors. + +The timeouts for operations should be at least as long as those +recommended in the meta-data. Too short timeout values are a +common mistake in cluster configurations and, even worse, they +often slip through if cluster testing was not thorough. Though +operation timeouts issues are treated as warnings, make sure that +the timeouts are usable in your environment. Note also that the +values given are just _advisory minimum_---your resources may +require longer timeouts. + +User may tune the frequency of checks and the treatment of errors +by the <<cmdhelp_options_check-frequency,`check-frequency`>> and +<<cmdhelp_options_check-mode,`check-mode`>> preferences. + +Note that if the +check-frequency+ is set to +always+ and the ++check-mode+ to +strict+, errors are not tolerated and such +configuration cannot be saved. + +[[topics_Features_Templates,Configuration templates]] +=== Configuration templates + +.Deprecation note +**************************** +Configuration templates have been deprecated in favor of the more +capable `cluster scripts`. To learn how to use cluster scripts, see +the dedicated documentation on the `crmsh` website at +http://crmsh.github.io/, or in the <<cmdhelp_script,Script section>>. +**************************** + +Configuration templates are ready made configurations created by +cluster experts. They are designed in such a way so that users +may generate valid cluster configurations with minimum effort. +If you are new to Pacemaker, templates may be the best way to +start. + +We will show here how to create a simple yet functional Apache +configuration: +............... +# crm configure +crm(live)configure# template +crm(live)configure template# list templates +apache filesystem virtual-ip +crm(live)configure template# new web <TAB><TAB> +apache filesystem virtual-ip +crm(live)configure template# new web apache +INFO: pulling in template apache +INFO: pulling in template virtual-ip +crm(live)configure template# list +web2-d web2 vip2 web3 vip web +............... + +We enter the `template` level from `configure`. Use the `list` +command to show templates available on the system. The `new` +command creates a configuration from the +apache+ template. You +can use tab completion to pick templates. Note that the apache +template depends on a virtual IP address which is automatically +pulled along. The `list` command shows the just created +web+ +configuration, among other configurations (I hope that you, +unlike me, will use more sensible and descriptive names). + +The `show` command, which displays the resulting configuration, +may be used to get an idea about the minimum required changes +which have to be done. All +ERROR+ messages show the line numbers +in which the respective parameters are to be defined: +............... +crm(live)configure template# show +ERROR: 23: required parameter ip not set +ERROR: 61: required parameter id not set +ERROR: 65: required parameter configfile not set +crm(live)configure template# edit +............... + +The `edit` command invokes the preferred text editor with the ++web+ configuration. At the top of the file, the user is advised +how to make changes. A good template should require from the user +to specify only parameters. For example, the +web+ configuration +we created above has the following required and optional +parameters (all parameter lines start with +%%+): +............... +$ grep -n ^%% ~/.crmconf/web +23:%% ip +31:%% netmask +35:%% lvs_support +61:%% id +65:%% configfile +71:%% options +76:%% envfiles +............... + +These lines are the only ones that should be modified. Simply +append the parameter value at the end of the line. For instance, +after editing this template, the result could look like this (we +used tabs instead of spaces to make the values stand out): +............... +$ grep -n ^%% ~/.crmconf/web +23:%% ip 192.168.1.101 +31:%% netmask +35:%% lvs_support +61:%% id websvc +65:%% configfile /etc/apache2/httpd.conf +71:%% options +76:%% envfiles +............... + +As you can see, the parameter line format is very simple: +............... +%% <name> <value> +............... + +After editing the file, use `show` again to display the +configuration: +............... +crm(live)configure template# show +primitive virtual-ip IPaddr \ + params ip=192.168.1.101 +primitive apache apache \ + params configfile="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" +monitor apache 120s:60s +group websvc \ + apache virtual-ip +............... + +The target resource of the apache template is a group which we +named +websvc+ in this sample session. + +This configuration looks exactly as you could type it at the +`configure` level. The point of templates is to save you some +typing. It is important, however, to understand the configuration +produced. + +Finally, the configuration may be applied to the current +crm configuration (note how the configuration changed slightly, +though it is still equivalent, after being digested at the +`configure` level): +............... +crm(live)configure template# apply +crm(live)configure template# cd .. +crm(live)configure# show +node xen-b +node xen-c +primitive apache apache \ + params configfile="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" \ + op monitor interval=120s timeout=60s +primitive virtual-ip IPaddr \ + params ip=192.168.1.101 +group websvc apache virtual-ip +............... + +Note that this still does not commit the configuration to the CIB +which is used in the shell, either the running one (+live+) or +some shadow CIB. For that you still need to execute the `commit` +command. + +To complete our example, we should also define the preferred node +to run the service: + +............... +crm(live)configure# location websvc-pref websvc 100: xen-b +............... + +If you are not happy with some resource names which are provided +by default, you can rename them now: + +............... +crm(live)configure# rename virtual-ip intranet-ip +crm(live)configure# show +node xen-b +node xen-c +primitive apache apache \ + params configfile="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" \ + op monitor interval=120s timeout=60s +primitive intranet-ip IPaddr \ + params ip=192.168.1.101 +group websvc apache intranet-ip +location websvc-pref websvc 100: xen-b +............... + +To summarize, working with templates typically consists of the +following steps: + +- `new`: create a new configuration from templates +- `edit`: define parameters, at least the required ones +- `show`: see if the configuration is valid +- `apply`: apply the configuration to the `configure` level + +[[topics_Features_Testing,Resource testing]] +=== Resource testing + +The amount of detail in a cluster makes all configurations prone +to errors. By far the largest number of issues in a cluster is +due to bad resource configuration. The shell can help quickly +diagnose such problems. And considerably reduce your keyboard +wear. + +Let's say that we entered the following configuration: +............... +node xen-b +node xen-c +node xen-d +primitive fencer stonith:external/libvirt \ + params hypervisor_uri="qemu+tcp://10.2.13.1/system" \ + hostlist="xen-b xen-c xen-d" \ + op monitor interval=2h +primitive svc Xinetd \ + params service=systat \ + op monitor interval=30s +primitive intranet-ip IPaddr2 \ + params ip=10.2.13.100 \ + op monitor interval=30s +primitive apache apache \ + params configfile="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" \ + op monitor interval=120s timeout=60s +group websvc apache intranet-ip +location websvc-pref websvc 100: xen-b +............... + +Before typing `commit` to submit the configuration to the cib we +can make sure that all resources are usable on all nodes: +............... +crm(live)configure# rsctest websvc svc fencer +............... + +It is important that resources being tested are not running on +any nodes. Otherwise, the `rsctest` command will refuse to do +anything. Of course, if the current configuration resides in a +CIB shadow, then a `commit` is irrelevant. The point being that +resources are not running on any node. + +.Note on stopping all resources +**************************** +Alternatively to not committing a configuration, it is also +possible to tell Pacemaker not to start any resources: + +............... +crm(live)configure# property stop-all-resources=yes +............... +Almost none---resources of class stonith are still started. But +shell is not as strict when it comes to stonith resources. +**************************** + +Order of resources is significant insofar that a resource depends +on all resources to its left. In most configurations, it's +probably practical to test resources in several runs, based on +their dependencies. + +Apart from groups, `crm` does not interpret constraints and +therefore knows nothing about resource dependencies. It also +doesn't know if a resource can run on a node at all in case of an +asymmetric cluster. It is up to the user to specify a list of +eligible nodes if a resource is not meant to run on every node. + +[[topics_Features_Security,Access Control Lists (ACL)]] +=== Access Control Lists (ACL) + +.Note on ACLs in Pacemaker 1.1.12 +**************************** +The support for ACLs has been revised in Pacemaker version 1.1.12 and +up. Depending on which version you are using, the information in this +section may no longer be accurate. Look for the `acl_target` +configuration element for more details on the new syntax. +**************************** + +By default, the users from the +haclient+ group have full access +to the cluster (or, more precisely, to the CIB). Access control +lists allow for finer access control to the cluster. + +Access control lists consist of an ordered set of access rules. +Each rule allows read or write access or denies access +completely. Rules are typically combined to produce a specific +role. Then, users may be assigned a role. + +For instance, this is a role which defines a set of rules +allowing management of a single resource: + +............... +role bigdb_admin \ + write meta:bigdb:target-role \ + write meta:bigdb:is-managed \ + write location:bigdb \ + read ref:bigdb +............... + +The first two rules allow modifying the +target-role+ and ++is-managed+ meta attributes which effectively enables users in +this role to stop/start and manage/unmanage the resource. The +constraints write access rule allows moving the resource around. +Finally, the user is granted read access to the resource +definition. + +For proper operation of all Pacemaker programs, it is advisable +to add the following role to all users: + +............... +role read_all \ + read cib +............... + +For finer grained read access try with the rules listed in the +following role: + +............... +role basic_read \ + read node attribute:uname \ + read node attribute:type \ + read property \ + read status +............... + +It is however possible that some Pacemaker programs (e.g. +`ptest`) may not function correctly if the whole CIB is not +readable. + +Some of the ACL rules in the examples above are expanded by the +shell to XPath specifications. For instance, ++meta:bigdb:target-role+ expands to: + +........ +//primitive[@id='bigdb']/meta_attributes/nvpair[@name='target-role'] +........ + +You can see the expansion by showing XML: + +............... +crm(live) configure# show xml bigdb_admin +... +<acls> + <acl_role id="bigdb_admin"> + <write id="bigdb_admin-write" + xpath="//primitive[@id='bigdb']/meta_attributes/nvpair[@name='target-role']"/> +............... + +Many different XPath expressions can have equal meaning. For +instance, the following two are equal, but only the first one is +going to be recognized as shortcut: + +............... +//primitive[@id='bigdb']/meta_attributes/nvpair[@name='target-role'] +//resources/primitive[@id='bigdb']/meta_attributes/nvpair[@name='target-role'] +............... + +XPath is a powerful language, but you should try to keep your ACL +xpaths simple and the builtin shortcuts should be used whenever +possible. + +[[topics_Features_Resourcesets,Syntax: Resource sets]] +=== Syntax: Resource sets + +Using resource sets can be a bit confusing unless one knows the +details of the implementation in Pacemaker as well as how to interpret +the syntax provided by `crmsh`. + +Three different types of resource sets are provided by `crmsh`, and +each one implies different values for the two resource set attributes, ++sequential+ and +require-all+. + ++sequential+:: + If false, the resources in the set do not depend on each other + internally. Setting +sequential+ to +true+ implies a strict order of + dependency within the set. + ++require-all+:: + If false, only one resource in the set is required to fulfil the + requirements of the set. The set of A, B and C with +require-all+ + set to +false+ is be read as "A OR B OR C" when its dependencies + are resolved. + +The three types of resource sets modify the attributes in the +following way: + +1. Implicit sets (no brackets). +sequential=true+, +require-all=true+ +2. Parenthesis set (+(+ ... +)+). +sequential=false+, +require-all=true+ +3. Bracket set (+[+ ... +]+). +sequential=false+, +require-all=false+ + +To create a set with the properties +sequential=true+ and ++require-all=false+, explicitly set +sequential+ in a bracketed set, ++[ A B C sequential=true ]+. + +To create multiple sets with both +sequential+ and +require-all+ set to +true, explicitly set +sequential+ in a parenthesis set: ++A B ( C D sequential=true )+. + +[[topics_Features_AttributeListReferences,Syntax: Attribute list references]] +=== Syntax: Attribute list references + +Attribute lists are used to set attributes and parameters for +resources, constraints and property definitions. For example, to set +the virtual IP used by an +IPAddr2+ resource the attribute +ip+ can be +set in an attribute list for that resource. + +Attribute lists can have identifiers that name them, and other +resources can reuse the same attribute list by referring to that name +using an +$id-ref+. For example, the following statement defines a +simple dummy resource with an attribute list which sets the parameter ++state+ to the value 1 and sets the identifier for the attribute list +to +on-state+: + +.............. +primitive dummy-1 Dummy params $id=on-state state=1 +.............. + +To refer to this attribute list from a different resource, refer to +the +on-state+ name using an id-ref: + +.............. +primitive dummy-2 Dummy params $id-ref=on-state +.............. + +The resource +dummy-2+ will now also have the parameter +state+ set to the value 1. + +[[topics_Features_AttributeReferences,Syntax: Attribute references]] +=== Syntax: Attribute references + +In some cases, referencing complete attribute lists is too +coarse-grained, for example if two different parameters with different +names should have the same value set. Instead of having to copy the +value in multiple places, it is possible to create references to +individual attributes in attribute lists. + +To name an attribute in order to be able to refer to it later, prefix +the attribute name with a +$+ character (as seen above with the +special names +$id+ and +$id-ref+: + +............ +primitive dummy-1 Dummy params $state=1 +............ + +The identifier +state+ can now be used to refer to this attribute from other +primitives, using the +@<id>+ syntax: + +............ +primitive dummy-2 Dummy params @state +............ + +In some cases, using the attribute name as the identifier doesn't work +due to name clashes.

For example, a web server +may have a parameter +server_ip+ for setting the IP address where it +listens for incoming requests, and a virtual IP resource may have a +parameter called +ip+ which sets the IP address it creates. To +configure these two resources with an IP without repeating the value, +the reference can be given a name using the syntax +@<id>:<name>+. + +Example: +............ +primitive virtual-ip IPaddr2 params $vip:ip=192.168.1.100 +primitive webserver apache params @vip:server_ip +............ + +[[topics_Syntax_RuleExpressions,Syntax: Rule expressions]] +=== Syntax: Rule expressions + +Many of the configuration commands in `crmsh` now support the use of +_rule expressions_, which can influence what attributes apply to a +resource or under which conditions a constraint is applied, depending +on changing conditions like date, time, the value of attributes and +more. + +Here is an example of a simple rule expression used to apply a +a different resource parameter on the node named `node1`: + +.............. +primitive my_resource Special \ + params 2: rule #uname eq node1 interface=eth1 \ + params 1: interface=eth0 +.............. + +This primitive resource has two lists of parameters with descending +priority.

If the number is negative, then the +corresponding transition relative to the last one is chosen. + +If there are warning and error PE input files or different nodes +were the DC in the observed timeframe, it may happen that PE +input file numbers collide. In that case provide some unique part +of the path to the file. + +After the `ptest` output, logs about events that happened during +the transition are printed. + +The `tags` subcommand scans the logs for the transition and return a +list of key events during that transition. For example, the tag ++error+ will be returned if there are any errors logged during the +transition. + +Usage: +............... +transition [<number>|<index>|<file>] [nograph] [v...] [scores] [actions] [utilization] +transition showdot [<number>|<index>|<file>] +transition log [<number>|<index>|<file>] +transition save [<number>|<index>|<file> [name]] +transition tags [<number>|<index>|<file>] +............... +Examples: +............... +transition +transition 444 +transition -1 +transition pe-error-3.bz2 +transition node-a/pengine/pe-input-2.bz2 +transition showdot 444 +transition log +transition save 0 enigma-22 +............... + +[[cmdhelp_history_transitions,List transitions]] +==== `transitions` + +A transition represents a change in cluster configuration or +state.

A report is an +archive containing log files, configuration files, system information +and other relevant data for a given time period. This is a useful tool +for collecting data to attach to bug reports, or for detecting the +root cause of errors resulting in resource failover, for example. + +See `crmsh_hb_report(8)` for more details on arguments, +or call `crm report -h` + +Usage: +............... +report -f {time|"cts:"testnum} [-t time] [-u user] [-l file] + [-n nodes] [-E files] [-p patt] [-L patt] [-e prog] + [-MSDZAVsvhd] [dest] +............... + +Examples: +............... +report -f 2pm report_1 +report -f "2007/9/5 12:30" -t "2007/9/5 14:00" report_2 +report -f 1:00 -t 3:00 -l /var/log/cluster/ha-debug report_3 +report -f "09sep07 2:00" -u hbadmin report_4 +report -f 18:00 -p "usern.*" -p "admin.*" report_5 +report -f cts:133 ctstest_133 +............... + +=== `end` (`cd`, `up`) + +The `end` command ends the current level and the user moves to +the parent level.

When that happens, please file a bug report. + +The crm shell will not try to update the objects it does not +understand. Of course, it is always possible to edit such objects +in the XML format. + +AUTHORS +------- +Dejan Muhamedagic, <dejan@suse.de> +Kristoffer Gronlund <kgronlund@suse.com> +and many OTHERS + +SEE ALSO +-------- +crm_resource(8), crm_attribute(8), crm_mon(8), cib_shadow(8), +ptest(8), dotty(1), crm_simulate(8), cibadmin(8) + + +COPYING +------- +Copyright \(C) 2008-2013 Dejan Muhamedagic. +Copyright \(C) 2013 Kristoffer Gronlund. + +Free use of this software is granted under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). + +////////////////////// + vim:ts=4:sw=4:expandtab: +////////////////////// |
