NAME
pcs - pacemaker/corosync configuration system
SYNOPSIS
pcs [-f file] [-h] [commands]...
DESCRIPTION
Control and configure pacemaker and corosync.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display usage and exit.
-f file
Perform actions on file instead of active CIB.
Commands supporting the option use the initial state of the specified file as their input and then
overwrite the file with the state reflecting the requested operation(s).
A few commands only use the specified file in read-only mode since their effect is not a CIB
modification.
--debug
Print all network traffic and external commands run.
--version
Print pcs version information. List pcs capabilities if --full is specified.
--request-timeout=<timeout>
Timeout for each outgoing request to another node in seconds. Default is 60s.

resource
[status [--hide-inactive]]
Show status of all currently configured resources. If --hide-inactive is specified, only show
active resources.
config [<resource id>]...
Show options of all currently configured resources or if resource ids are specified show the
options for the specified resource ids.
list [filter] [--nodesc]
Show list of all available resource agents (if filter is provided then only resource agents
matching the filter will be shown). If --nodesc is used then descriptions of resource agents are
not printed.
describe [<standard>:[<provider>:]]<type> [--full]
Show options for the specified resource. If --full is specified, all options including advanced
and deprecated ones are shown.
create <resource id> [<standard>:[<provider>:]]<type> [resource options] [op <operation action>
<operation options> [<operation action> <operation options>]...] [meta <meta options>...] [clone [<clone
options>] | promotable [<promotable options>] | --group <group id> [--before <resource id> | --after
<resource id>] | bundle <bundle id>] [--disabled] [--no-default-ops] [--wait[=n]]
Create specified resource. If clone is used a clone resource is created. If promotable is used a
promotable clone resource is created. If --group is specified the resource is added to the group
named. You can use --before or --after to specify the position of the added resource relatively to
some resource already existing in the group. If bundle is specified, resource will be created
inside of the specified bundle. If --disabled is specified the resource is not started
automatically. If --no-default-ops is specified, only monitor operations are created for the
resource and all other operations use default settings. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up
to 'n' seconds for the resource to start and then return 0 if the resource is started, or 1 if the
resource has not yet started. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Example: Create a new resource called 'VirtualIP' with IP address 192.168.0.99, netmask of 32,
monitored everything 30 seconds, on eth2: pcs resource create VirtualIP ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2
ip=192.168.0.99 cidr_netmask=32 nic=eth2 op monitor interval=30s
delete <resource id|group id|bundle id|clone id>
Deletes the resource, group, bundle or clone (and all resources within the group/bundle/clone).
remove <resource id|group id|bundle id|clone id>
Deletes the resource, group, bundle or clone (and all resources within the group/bundle/clone).
enable <resource id>... [--wait[=n]]
Allow the cluster to start the resources. Depending on the rest of the configuration (constraints,
options, failures, etc), the resources may remain stopped. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait
up to 'n' seconds for the resources to start and then return 0 if the resources are started, or 1
if the resources have not yet started. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
disable <resource id>... [--safe [--no-strict]] [--simulate] [--wait[=n]]
Attempt to stop the resources if they are running and forbid the cluster from starting them again.
Depending on the rest of the configuration (constraints, options, failures, etc), the resources
may remain started.
If --safe is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made if other than
specified resources would be affected in any way.
If --no-strict is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made if other than
specified resources would get stopped or demoted. Moving resources between nodes is allowed.
If --simulate is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made and the effect of
the changes will be printed instead.
If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resources to stop and then return
0 if the resources are stopped or 1 if the resources have not stopped. If 'n' is not specified it
defaults to 60 minutes.
safe-disable <resource id>... [--no-strict] [--simulate] [--wait[=n]] [--force]
Attempt to stop the resources if they are running and forbid the cluster from starting them again.
Depending on the rest of the configuration (constraints, options, failures, etc), the resources
may remain started. No changes to the cluster configuration will be made if other than specified
resources would be affected in any way.
If --no-strict is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made if other than
specified resources would get stopped or demoted. Moving resources between nodes is allowed.
If --simulate is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made and the effect of
the changes will be printed instead.
If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resources to stop and then return
0 if the resources are stopped or 1 if the resources have not stopped. If 'n' is not specified it
defaults to 60 minutes.
If --force is specified, checks for safe disable will be skipped.
restart <resource id> [node] [--wait=n]
Restart the resource specified. If a node is specified and if the resource is a clone or bundle it
will be restarted only on the node specified. If --wait is specified, then we will wait up to 'n'
seconds for the resource to be restarted and return 0 if the restart was successful or 1 if it was
not.
debug-start <resource id> [--full]
This command will force the specified resource to start on this node ignoring the cluster
recommendations and print the output from starting the resource. Using --full will give more
detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to start.
debug-stop <resource id> [--full]
This command will force the specified resource to stop on this node ignoring the cluster
recommendations and print the output from stopping the resource. Using --full will give more
detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to stop.
debug-promote <resource id> [--full]
This command will force the specified resource to be promoted on this node ignoring the cluster
recommendations and print the output from promoting the resource. Using --full will give more
detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to promote.
debug-demote <resource id> [--full]
This command will force the specified resource to be demoted on this node ignoring the cluster
recommendations and print the output from demoting the resource. Using --full will give more
detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to demote.
debug-monitor <resource id> [--full]
This command will force the specified resource to be monitored on this node ignoring the cluster
recommendations and print the output from monitoring the resource. Using --full will give more
detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to be monitored.
move <resource id> [destination node] [--master] [lifetime=<lifetime>] [--wait[=n]]
Move the resource off the node it is currently running on by creating a -INFINITY location
constraint to ban the node. If destination node is specified the resource will be moved to that
node by creating an INFINITY location constraint to prefer the destination node. If --master is
used the scope of the command is limited to the master role and you must use the promotable clone
id (instead of the resource id). If lifetime is specified then the constraint will expire after
that time, otherwise it defaults to infinity and the constraint can be cleared manually with 'pcs
resource clear' or 'pcs constraint delete'. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n'
seconds for the resource to move and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not
specified it defaults to 60 minutes. If you want the resource to preferably avoid running on some
nodes but be able to failover to them use 'pcs constraint location avoids'.
ban <resource id> [node] [--master] [lifetime=<lifetime>] [--wait[=n]]
Prevent the resource id specified from running on the node (or on the current node it is running
on if no node is specified) by creating a -INFINITY location constraint. If --master is used the
scope of the command is limited to the master role and you must use the promotable clone id
(instead of the resource id). If lifetime is specified then the constraint will expire after that
time, otherwise it defaults to infinity and the constraint can be cleared manually with 'pcs
resource clear' or 'pcs constraint delete'. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n'
seconds for the resource to move and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not
specified it defaults to 60 minutes. If you want the resource to preferably avoid running on some
nodes but be able to failover to them use 'pcs constraint location avoids'.
clear <resource id> [node] [--master] [--expired] [--wait[=n]]
Remove constraints created by move and/or ban on the specified resource (and node if specified).
If --master is used the scope of the command is limited to the master role and you must use the
master id (instead of the resource id). If --expired is specified, only constraints with expired
lifetimes will be removed. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the
operation to finish (including starting and/or moving resources if appropriate) and then return 0
on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
standards
List available resource agent standards supported by this installation (OCF, LSB, etc.).
providers
List available OCF resource agent providers.
agents [standard[:provider]]
List available agents optionally filtered by standard and provider.
update <resource id> [resource options] [op [<operation action> <operation options>]...] [meta <meta
operations>...] [--wait[=n]]
Add/Change options to specified resource, clone or multi-state resource. If an operation (op) is
specified it will update the first found operation with the same action on the specified resource,
if no operation with that action exists then a new operation will be created. (WARNING: all
existing options on the updated operation will be reset if not specified.) If you want to create
multiple monitor operations you should use the 'op add' & 'op remove' commands. If --wait is
specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the changes to take effect and then return 0 if the
changes have been processed or 1 otherwise. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
op add <resource id> <operation action> [operation properties]
Add operation for specified resource.
op delete <resource id> <operation action> [<operation properties>...]
Remove specified operation (note: you must specify the exact operation properties to properly
remove an existing operation).
op delete <operation id>
Remove the specified operation id.
op remove <resource id> <operation action> [<operation properties>...]
Remove specified operation (note: you must specify the exact operation properties to properly
remove an existing operation).
op remove <operation id>
Remove the specified operation id.
op defaults [options]
Set default values for operations, if no options are passed, lists currently configured defaults.
Defaults do not apply to resources which override them with their own defined operations.
meta <resource id | group id | clone id> <meta options> [--wait[=n]]
Add specified options to the specified resource, group or clone. Meta options should be in the
format of name=value, options may be removed by setting an option without a value. If --wait is
specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the changes to take effect and then return 0 if the
changes have been processed or 1 otherwise. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Example: pcs resource meta TestResource failure-timeout=50 stickiness=
group list
Show all currently configured resource groups and their resources.
group add <group id> <resource id> [resource id] ... [resource id] [--before <resource id> | --after
<resource id>] [--wait[=n]]
Add the specified resource to the group, creating the group if it does not exist. If the resource
is present in another group it is moved to the new group. You can use --before or --after to
specify the position of the added resources relatively to some resource already existing in the
group. By adding resources to a group they are already in and specifying --after or --before you
can move the resources in the group. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for
the operation to finish (including moving resources if appropriate) and then return 0 on success
or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
group delete <group id> <resource id> [resource id] ... [resource id] [--wait[=n]]
Remove the specified resource(s) from the group, removing the group if no resources remain in it.
If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including
moving resources if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not
specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
group remove <group id> <resource id> [resource id] ... [resource id] [--wait[=n]]
Remove the specified resource(s) from the group, removing the group if no resources remain in it.
If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including
moving resources if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not
specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
ungroup <group id> [resource id] ... [resource id] [--wait[=n]]
Remove the group (note: this does not remove any resources from the cluster) or if resources are
specified, remove the specified resources from the group. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait
up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including moving resources if appropriate) and the
return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
clone <resource id | group id> [clone options]... [--wait[=n]]
Set up the specified resource or group as a clone. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n'
seconds for the operation to finish (including starting clone instances if appropriate) and then
return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
promotable <resource id | group id> [clone options]... [--wait[=n]]
Set up the specified resource or group as a promotable clone. This is an alias for 'pcs resource
clone <resource id> promotable=true'.
unclone <resource id | group id> [--wait[=n]]
Remove the clone which contains the specified group or resource (the resource or group will not be
removed). If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish
(including stopping clone instances if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error.
If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
bundle create <bundle id> container <container type> [<container options>] [network <network options>]
[port-map <port options>]... [storage-map <storage options>]... [meta <meta options>] [--disabled]
[--wait[=n]]
Create a new bundle encapsulating no resources. The bundle can be used either as it is or a
resource may be put into it at any time. If --disabled is specified, the bundle is not started
automatically. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the bundle to start and
then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
bundle reset <bundle id> [container <container options>] [network <network options>] [port-map <port
options>]... [storage-map <storage options>]... [meta <meta options>] [--disabled] [--wait[=n]]
Configure specified bundle with given options. Unlike bundle update, this command resets the
bundle according given options - no previous options are kept. Resources inside the bundle are
kept as they are. If --disabled is specified, the bundle is not started automatically. If --wait
is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the bundle to start and then return 0 on success
or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
bundle update <bundle id> [container <container options>] [network <network options>] [port-map (add
<port options>) | (delete | remove <id>...)]... [storage-map (add <storage options>) | (delete | remove
<id>...)]... [meta <meta options>] [--wait[=n]]
Add, remove or change options to specified bundle. If you wish to update a resource encapsulated
in the bundle, use the 'pcs resource update' command instead and specify the resource id. If
--wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including moving
resources if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it
defaults to 60 minutes.
manage <resource id>... [--monitor]
Set resources listed to managed mode (default). If --monitor is specified, enable all monitor
operations of the resources.
unmanage <resource id>... [--monitor]
Set resources listed to unmanaged mode. When a resource is in unmanaged mode, the cluster is not
allowed to start nor stop the resource. If --monitor is specified, disable all monitor operations
of the resources.
defaults [options]
Set default values for resources, if no options are passed, lists currently configured defaults.
Defaults do not apply to resources which override them with their own defined values.
cleanup [<resource id>] [node=<node>] [operation=<operation> [interval=<interval>]]
Make the cluster forget failed operations from history of the resource and re-detect its current
state. This can be useful to purge knowledge of past failures that have since been resolved. If a
resource id is not specified then all resources / stonith devices will be cleaned up. If a node is
not specified then resources / stonith devices on all nodes will be cleaned up.
refresh [<resource id>] [node=<node>] [--full]
Make the cluster forget the complete operation history (including failures) of the resource and
re-detect its current state. If you are interested in forgetting failed operations only, use the
'pcs resource cleanup' command. If a resource id is not specified then all resources / stonith
devices will be refreshed. If a node is not specified then resources / stonith devices on all
nodes will be refreshed. Use --full to refresh a resource on all nodes, otherwise only nodes where
the resource's state is known will be considered.
failcount show [<resource id>] [node=<node>] [operation=<operation> [interval=<interval>]] [--full]
Show current failcount for resources, optionally filtered by a resource, node, operation and its
interval. If --full is specified do not sum failcounts per resource and node. Use 'pcs resource
cleanup' or 'pcs resource refresh' to reset failcounts.
relocate dry-run [resource1] [resource2] ...
The same as 'relocate run' but has no effect on the cluster.
relocate run [resource1] [resource2] ...
Relocate specified resources to their preferred nodes. If no resources are specified, relocate
all resources. This command calculates the preferred node for each resource while ignoring
resource stickiness. Then it creates location constraints which will cause the resources to move
to their preferred nodes. Once the resources have been moved the constraints are deleted
automatically. Note that the preferred node is calculated based on current cluster status,
constraints, location of resources and other settings and thus it might change over time.
relocate show
Display current status of resources and their optimal node ignoring resource stickiness.
relocate clear
Remove all constraints created by the 'relocate run' command.
utilization [<resource id> [<name>=<value> ...]]
Add specified utilization options to specified resource. If resource is not specified, shows
utilization of all resources. If utilization options are not specified, shows utilization of
specified resource. Utilization option should be in format name=value, value has to be integer.
Options may be removed by setting an option without a value. Example: pcs resource utilization
TestResource cpu= ram=20
relations <resource id> [--full]
Display relations of a resource specified by its id with other resources in a tree structure.
Supported types of resource relations are: ordering constraints, ordering set constraints,
relations defined by resource hierarchy (clones, groups, bundles). If --full is used, more verbose
output will be printed.
cluster
setup <cluster name> (<node name> [addr=<node address>]...)... [transport knet|udp|udpu [<transport
options>] [link <link options>] [compression <compression options>] [crypto <crypto options>]] [totem
<totem options>] [quorum <quorum options>] [--enable] [--start [--wait[=<n>]]] [--no-keys-sync]
Create a cluster from the listed nodes and synchronize cluster configuration files to them.
Nodes are specified by their names and optionally their addresses. If no addresses are specified
for a node, pcs will configure corosync to communicate with that node using an address provided in
'pcs host auth' command. Otherwise, pcs will configure corosync to communicate with the node using
the specified addresses.
Transport knet:
This is the default transport. It allows configuring traffic encryption and compression as well as
using multiple addresses (links) for nodes.
Transport options are: ip_version, knet_pmtud_interval, link_mode
Link options are: link_priority, linknumber, mcastport, ping_interval, ping_precision,
ping_timeout, pong_count, transport (udp or sctp)
You can set link options for a subset of links using a linknumber.
Compression options are: level, model, threshold
Crypto options are: cipher, hash, model
By default, encryption is enabled with cipher=aes256 and hash=sha256. To disable encryption, set
cipher=none and hash=none.
Transports udp and udpu:
These transports are limited to one address per node. They do not support traffic encryption nor
compression.
Transport options are: ip_version, netmtu
Link options are: bindnetaddr, broadcast, mcastaddr, mcastport, ttl
Totem and quorum can be configured regardless of used transport.
Totem options are: consensus, downcheck, fail_recv_const, heartbeat_failures_allowed, hold, join,
max_messages, max_network_delay, merge, miss_count_const, send_join, seqno_unchanged_const, token,
token_coefficient, token_retransmit, token_retransmits_before_loss_const, window_size
Quorum options are: auto_tie_breaker, last_man_standing, last_man_standing_window, wait_for_all
Transports and their options, link, compression, crypto and totem options are all documented in
corosync.conf(5) man page; knet link options are prefixed 'knet_' there, compression options are
prefixed 'knet_compression_' and crypto options are prefixed 'crypto_'. Quorum options are
documented in votequorum(5) man page.
--enable will configure the cluster to start on nodes boot. --start will start the cluster right
after creating it. --wait will wait up to 'n' seconds for the cluster to start. --no-keys-sync
will skip creating and distributing pcsd SSL certificate and key and corosync and pacemaker
authkey files. Use this if you provide your own certificates and keys.
Examples:
Create a cluster with default settings:
pcs cluster setup newcluster node1 node2
Create a cluster using two links:
pcs cluster setup newcluster node1 addr=10.0.1.11 addr=10.0.2.11 node2 addr=10.0.1.12
addr=10.0.2.12
Set link options for the second link only (first link is link 0):
pcs cluster setup newcluster node1 addr=10.0.1.11 addr=10.0.2.11 node2 addr=10.0.1.12
addr=10.0.2.12 transport knet link linknumber=1 transport=sctp
Create a cluster using udp transport with a non-default port:
pcs cluster setup newcluster node1 node2 transport udp link mcastport=55405
start [--all | <node>... ] [--wait[=<n>]] [--request-timeout=<seconds>]
Start a cluster on specified node(s). If no nodes are specified then start a cluster on the local
node. If --all is specified then start a cluster on all nodes. If the cluster has many nodes then
the start request may time out. In that case you should consider setting --request-timeout to a
suitable value. If --wait is specified, pcs waits up to 'n' seconds for the cluster to get ready
to provide services after the cluster has successfully started.
stop [--all | <node>... ] [--request-timeout=<seconds>]
Stop a cluster on specified node(s). If no nodes are specified then stop a cluster on the local
node. If --all is specified then stop a cluster on all nodes. If the cluster is running resources
which take long time to stop then the stop request may time out before the cluster actually stops.
In that case you should consider setting --request-timeout to a suitable value.
kill Force corosync and pacemaker daemons to stop on the local node (performs kill -9). Note that init
system (e.g. systemd) can detect that cluster is not running and start it again. If you want to
stop cluster on a node, run pcs cluster stop on that node.
enable [--all | <node>... ]
Configure cluster to run on node boot on specified node(s). If node is not specified then cluster
is enabled on the local node. If --all is specified then cluster is enabled on all nodes.
disable [--all | <node>... ]
Configure cluster to not run on node boot on specified node(s). If node is not specified then
cluster is disabled on the local node. If --all is specified then cluster is disabled on all
nodes.
auth [-u <username>] [-p <password>]
Authenticate pcs/pcsd to pcsd on nodes configured in the local cluster.
status View current cluster status (an alias of 'pcs status cluster').
pcsd-status [<node>]...
Show current status of pcsd on nodes specified, or on all nodes configured in the local cluster if
no nodes are specified.
sync Sync cluster configuration (files which are supported by all subcommands of this command) to all
cluster nodes.
sync corosync
Sync corosync configuration to all nodes found from current corosync.conf file.
cib [filename] [scope=<scope> | --config]
Get the raw xml from the CIB (Cluster Information Base). If a filename is provided, we save the
CIB to that file, otherwise the CIB is printed. Specify scope to get a specific section of the
CIB. Valid values of the scope are: configuration, nodes, resources, constraints, crm_config,
rsc_defaults, op_defaults, status. --config is the same as scope=configuration. Do not specify a
scope if you want to edit the saved CIB using pcs (pcs -f <command>).
cib-push <filename> [--wait[=<n>]] [diff-against=<filename_original> | scope=<scope> | --config]
Push the raw xml from <filename> to the CIB (Cluster Information Base). You can obtain the CIB by
running the 'pcs cluster cib' command, which is recommended first step when you want to perform
desired modifications (pcs -f <command>) for the one-off push. If diff-against is specified, pcs
diffs contents of filename against contents of filename_original and pushes the result to the CIB.
Specify scope to push a specific section of the CIB. Valid values of the scope are:
configuration, nodes, resources, constraints, crm_config, rsc_defaults, op_defaults. --config is
the same as scope=configuration. Use of --config is recommended. Do not specify a scope if you
need to push the whole CIB or be warned in the case of outdated CIB. If --wait is specified wait
up to 'n' seconds for changes to be applied. WARNING: the selected scope of the CIB will be
overwritten by the current content of the specified file.
Example:
pcs cluster cib > original.xml
cp original.xml new.xml
pcs -f new.xml constraint location apache prefers node2
pcs cluster cib-push new.xml diff-against=original.xml
cib-upgrade
Upgrade the CIB to conform to the latest version of the document schema.
edit [scope=<scope> | --config]
Edit the cib in the editor specified by the $EDITOR environment variable and push out any changes
upon saving. Specify scope to edit a specific section of the CIB. Valid values of the scope are:
configuration, nodes, resources, constraints, crm_config, rsc_defaults, op_defaults. --config is
the same as scope=configuration. Use of --config is recommended. Do not specify a scope if you
need to edit the whole CIB or be warned in the case of outdated CIB.
node add <node name> [addr=<node address>]... [watchdog=<watchdog path>] [device=<SBD device path>]...
[--start [--wait[=<n>]]] [--enable] [--no-watchdog-validation]
Add the node to the cluster and synchronize all relevant configuration files to the new node. This
command can only be run on an existing cluster node.
The new node is specified by its name and optionally its addresses. If no addresses are specified
for the node, pcs will configure corosync to communicate with the node using an address provided
in 'pcs host auth' command. Otherwise, pcs will configure corosync to communicate with the node
using the specified addresses.
Use 'watchdog' to specify a path to a watchdog on the new node, when SBD is enabled in the
cluster. If SBD is configured with shared storage, use 'device' to specify path to shared
device(s) on the new node.
If --start is specified also start cluster on the new node, if --wait is specified wait up to 'n'
seconds for the new node to start. If --enable is specified configure cluster to start on the new
node on boot. If --no-watchdog-validation is specified, validation of watchdog will be skipped.
WARNING: By default, it is tested whether the specified watchdog is supported. This may cause a
restart of the system when a watchdog with no-way-out-feature enabled is present. Use
--no-watchdog-validation to skip watchdog validation.
node delete <node name> [<node name>]...
Shutdown specified nodes and remove them from the cluster.
node remove <node name> [<node name>]...
Shutdown specified nodes and remove them from the cluster.
node add-remote <node name> [<node address>] [options] [op <operation action> <operation options>
[<operation action> <operation options>]...] [meta <meta options>...] [--wait[=<n>]]
Add the node to the cluster as a remote node. Sync all relevant configuration files to the new
node. Start the node and configure it to start the cluster on boot. Options are port and
reconnect_interval. Operations and meta belong to an underlying connection resource
(ocf:pacemaker:remote). If node address is not specified for the node, pcs will configure
pacemaker to communicate with the node using an address provided in 'pcs host auth' command.
Otherwise, pcs will configure pacemaker to communicate with the node using the specified
addresses. If --wait is specified, wait up to 'n' seconds for the node to start.
node delete-remote <node identifier>
Shutdown specified remote node and remove it from the cluster. The node-identifier can be the name

is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
cleanup [<stonith id>] [--node <node>]
Make the cluster forget failed operations from history of the stonith device and re-detect its
current state. This can be useful to purge knowledge of past failures that have since been
resolved. If a stonith id is not specified then all resources / stonith devices will be cleaned
up. If a node is not specified then resources / stonith devices on all nodes will be cleaned up.
refresh [<stonith id>] [--node <node>] [--full]
Make the cluster forget the complete operation history (including failures) of the stonith device
and re-detect its current state. If you are interested in forgetting failed operations only, use
the 'pcs stonith cleanup' command. If a stonith id is not specified then all resources / stonith
devices will be refreshed. If a node is not specified then resources / stonith devices on all
nodes will be refreshed. Use --full to refresh a stonith device on all nodes, otherwise only nodes
where the stonith device's state is known will be considered.

that target at that level. Fence levels are attempted in numerical order (starting with 1). If a
level succeeds (meaning all devices are successfully fenced in that level) then no other levels
are tried, and the target is considered fenced. Target may be a node name <node_name> or
%<node_name> or node%<node_name>, a node name regular expression regexp%<node_pattern> or a node
attribute value attrib%<name>=<value>.
level delete <level> [target] [stonith id]...

are specified then the fence level is removed. Target may be a node name <node_name> or
%<node_name> or node%<node_name>, a node name regular expression regexp%<node_pattern> or a node
attribute value attrib%<name>=<value>.
level clear [target|stonith id(s)]
Clears the fence levels on the target (or stonith id) specified or clears all fence levels if a
target/stonith id is not specified. If more than one stonith id is specified they must be
separated by a comma and no spaces. Target may be a node name <node_name> or %<node_name> or
node%<node_name>, a node name regular expression regexp%<node_pattern> or a node attribute value
attrib%<name>=<value>. Example: pcs stonith level clear dev_a,dev_b
level verify
Verifies all fence devices and nodes specified in fence levels exist.
fence <node> [--off]
Fence the node specified (if --off is specified, use the 'off' API call to stonith which will turn
the node off instead of rebooting it).
confirm <node> [--force]
Confirm to the cluster that the specified node is powered off. This allows the cluster to recover
from a situation where no stonith device is able to fence the node. This command should ONLY be
used after manually ensuring that the node is powered off and has no access to shared resources.
WARNING: If this node is not actually powered off or it does have access to shared resources, data
corruption/cluster failure can occur. To prevent accidental running of this command, --force or
interactive user response is required in order to proceed.
NOTE: It is not checked if the specified node exists in the cluster in order to be able to work
with nodes not visible from the local cluster partition.

import-cman output=<filename> [input=<filename>] [--interactive] [output-format=corosync.conf]
[dist=<dist>]
Converts CMAN cluster configuration to Pacemaker cluster configuration. Converted configuration
will be saved to 'output' file. To send the configuration to the cluster nodes the 'pcs config
restore' command can be used. If --interactive is specified you will be prompted to solve
incompatibilities manually. If no input is specified /etc/cluster/cluster.conf will be used.
Optionally you can specify output version by setting 'dist' option e. g. redhat,7.3 or debian,7 or
ubuntu,trusty. You can get the list of supported dist values by running the "clufter --list-dists"
command. If 'dist' is not specified, it defaults to this node's version.
import-cman output=<filename> [input=<filename>] [--interactive]
output-format=pcs-commands|pcs-commands-verbose [dist=<dist>]
Converts CMAN cluster configuration to a list of pcs commands which recreates the same cluster as
Pacemaker cluster when executed. Commands will be saved to 'output' file. For other options see
above.
export pcs-commands|pcs-commands-verbose [output=<filename>] [dist=<dist>]
Creates a list of pcs commands which upon execution recreates the current cluster running on this
node. Commands will be saved to 'output' file or written to stdout if 'output' is not specified.
Use pcs-commands to get a simple list of commands, whereas pcs-commands-verbose creates a list
including comments and debug messages. Optionally specify output version by setting 'dist' option
e. g. redhat,7.3 or debian,7 or ubuntu,trusty. You can get the list of supported dist values by
running the "clufter --list-dists" command. If 'dist' is not specified, it defaults to this node's
version.

host
auth (<host name> [addr=<address>[:<port>]])... [-u <username>] [-p <password>]
Authenticate local pcs/pcsd against pcsd on specified hosts. It is possible to specify an address
and a port via which pcs/pcsd will communicate with each host. If an address is not specified a
host name will be used. If a port is not specified 2224 will be used.
deauth [<host name>]...
Delete authentication tokens which allow pcs/pcsd on the current system to connect to remote pcsd
instances on specified host names. If the current system is a member of a cluster, the tokens will
be deleted from all nodes in the cluster. If no host names are specified all tokens will be
deleted. After this command is run this node will need to re-authenticate against other nodes to
be able to connect to them.
node

USING --FORCE IN PCS COMMANDS
Various pcs commands accept the --force option. Its purpose is to override some of checks that pcs is
doing or some of errors that may occur when a pcs command is run. When such error occurs, pcs will print
the error with a note it may be overridden. The exact behavior of the option is different for each pcs
command. Using the --force option can lead into situations that would normally be prevented by logic of
pcs commands and therefore its use is strongly discouraged unless you know what you are doing.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
EDITOR
Path to a plain-text editor. This is used when pcs is requested to present a text for the user to
edit.
no_proxy, https_proxy, all_proxy, NO_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY
These environment variables (listed according to their priorities) control how pcs handles proxy
servers when connecting to cluster nodes. See curl(1) man page for details.
CHANGES IN PCS-0.10
This section summarizes the most important changes in commands done in pcs-0.10.x compared to pcs-0.9.x.
For detailed description of current commands see above.
cluster
auth The 'pcs cluster auth' command only authenticates nodes in a local cluster and does not accept a
node list. The new command for authentication is 'pcs host auth'. It allows to specify host names,
addresses and pcsd ports.
node add
Custom node names and Corosync 3.x with knet are fully supported now, therefore the syntax has
been completely changed.
The --device and --watchdog options have been replaced with 'device' and 'watchdog' options,
respectively.
quorum This command has been replaced with 'pcs quorum'.
remote-node add
This command has been replaced with 'pcs cluster node add-guest'.
remote-node remove
This command has been replaced with 'pcs cluster node delete-guest' and its alias 'pcs cluster
node remove-guest'.
setup Custom node names and Corosync 3.x with knet are fully supported now, therefore the syntax has
been completely changed.
The --name option has been removed. The first parameter of the command is the cluster name now.
standby
This command has been replaced with 'pcs node standby'.
uidgid rm
This command has been deprecated, use 'pcs cluster uidgid delete' or 'pcs cluster uidgid remove'
instead.
unstandby
This command has been replaced with 'pcs node unstandby'.
verify The -V option has been replaced with --full.
To specify a filename, use the -f option.
pcsd
clear-auth
This command has been replaced with 'pcs host deauth' and 'pcs pcsd deauth'.
property
set The --node option is no longer supported. Use the 'pcs node attribute' command to set node
attributes.
show The --node option is no longer supported. Use the 'pcs node attribute' command to view node
attributes.
unset The --node option is no longer supported. Use the 'pcs node attribute' command to unset node
attributes.
resource
create The 'master' keyword has been changed to 'promotable'.
failcount reset
The command has been removed as 'pcs resource cleanup' is doing exactly the same job.
master This command has been replaced with 'pcs resource promotable'.
show Previously, this command displayed either status or configuration of resources depending on the
parameters specified. This was confusing, therefore the command was replaced by several new
commands. To display resources status, run 'pcs resource' or 'pcs resource status'. To display
resources configuration, run 'pcs resource config' or 'pcs resource config <resource name>'. To
display configured resource groups, run 'pcs resource group list'.
status
groups This command has been replaced with 'pcs resource group list'.
stonith
sbd device setup
The --device option has been replaced with the 'device' option.
sbd enable
The --device and --watchdog options have been replaced with 'device' and 'watchdog' options,
respectively.
show Previously, this command displayed either status or configuration of stonith resources depending
on the parameters specified. This was confusing, therefore the command was replaced by several new
commands. To display stonith resources status, run 'pcs stonith' or 'pcs stonith status'. To
display stonith resources configuration, run 'pcs stonith config' or 'pcs stonith config <stonith
name>'.
