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 [<resource id | tag id>] [node=<node>] [--hide-inactive]]
Show status of all currently configured resources. If --hide-inactive is specified, only show
active resources. If a resource or tag id is specified, only show status of the specified resource
or resources in the specified tag. If node is specified, only show status of resources configured
for the specified node.
config [--output-format text|cmd|json] [<resource id>]...
Show options of all currently configured resources or if resource ids are specified show the
options for the specified resource ids. There are 3 formats of output available: 'cmd', 'json' and
'text', default is 'text'. Format 'text' is a human friendly output. Format 'cmd' prints pcs
commands which can be used to recreate the same configuration. Format 'json' is a machine oriented
output of the configuration.
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
id>] [<clone meta options>] | promotable [<clone id>] [<promotable meta options>] | --group <group id>
[--before <resource id> | --after <resource id>] | bundle <bundle id>] [--disabled] [--agent-validation]
[--no-default-ops] [--wait[=n]]
create --future <resource id> [<standard>:[<provider>:]]<type> [<resource options>] [op <operation
action> <operation options> [<operation action> <operation options>]...] [meta <meta options>] [clone
[<clone id>] [meta <clone meta options>] | promotable [<clone id>] [meta <promotable meta options>] |
group <group id> [before <resource id> | after <resource id>] | bundle <bundle id>] [--disabled]
[--agent-validation] [--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 --agent-validation is specified, resource agent validate-all action will be used to validate
resource options.
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.
Specifying --future switches to the new command format that changes the way clone and promotable
meta options are expected to be specified.
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 | tag 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 | tag id>... [--safe [--brief] [--no-strict]] [--simulate [--brief]] [--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 --brief is also specified, only errors are
printed.
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 --brief is also specified, only a list of affected
resources not specified in the command will be printed.
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 | tag id>... [--brief] [--no-strict] [--simulate [--brief]] [--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 --brief is specified, only errors are printed.
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 --brief is also specified, only a list of affected
resources not specified in the command will be printed.
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] [--promoted] [--strict] [--wait[=n]]
Move the resource off the node it is currently running on. This is achieved 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.
The constraint needed for moving the resource will be automatically removed once the resource is
running on its new location. The command will fail in case it is not possible to verify that the
resource will not be moved back after deleting the constraint. If this happens after the location
constraint has been created, the constraint will be left in the configuration.
If --strict is specified, the command will also fail if other resources would be affected.
If --promoted is used the scope of the command is limited to the Promoted role and promotable
clone id must be used (instead of the resource id).
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.
NOTE: This command has been changed in pcs-0.11. It is equivalent to command 'resource move
<resource id> --autodelete' from pcs-0.10.9. Legacy functionality of the 'resource move' command
is still available as 'resource move-with-constraint <resource id>'.
If you want the resource to preferably avoid running on some nodes but be able to failover to them
use 'pcs constraint location avoids'.
move-with-constraint <resource id> [destination node] [lifetime=<lifetime>] [--promoted] [--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 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'. Lifetime is expected to be specified as ISO 8601 duration (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations).
If --promoted is used the scope of the command is limited to the Promoted role and promotable
clone id must be used (instead of the resource id).
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] [--promoted] [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 --promoted is used the scope of the command is limited to the Promoted role and promotable
clone id must be used (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'. Lifetime is expected to be specified as ISO 8601 duration (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations).
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] [--promoted] [--expired] [--wait[=n]]
Remove constraints created by move and/or ban on the specified resource (and node if specified).
If --promoted is used the scope of the command is limited to the Promoted role and promotable
clone id must be used (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
options>] [--agent-validation] [--wait[=n]]
Add, remove or change options of specified resource, clone or multi-state resource. Unspecified
options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e.
'option_name='.
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 --agent-validation is specified, resource agent validate-all action will be used to validate
resource options.
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 [config] [--all] [--full] [--no-check-expired]
List currently configured default values for operations. If --all is specified, also list expired
sets of values. If --full is specified, also list ids. If --no-expire-check is specified, do not
evaluate whether sets of values are expired.
op defaults <name>=<value>...
Set default values for operations.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own
defined values.
op defaults set create [<set options>] [meta [<name>=<value>]...] [rule [<expression>]]
Create a new set of default values for resource / stonith device operations. You may specify a
rule describing resources / stonith devices and / or operations to which the set applies.
Set options are: id, score
Expression looks like one of the following:
op <operation name> [interval=<interval>]
resource [<standard>]:[<provider>]:[<type>]
defined|not_defined <node attribute>
<node attribute> lt|gt|lte|gte|eq|ne [string|integer|number|version] <value>
date gt|lt <date>
date in_range [<date>] to <date>
date in_range <date> to duration <duration options>
date-spec <date-spec options>
<expression> and|or <expression>
(<expression>)
You may specify all or any of 'standard', 'provider' and 'type' in a resource expression. For
example: 'resource ocf::' matches all resources of 'ocf' standard, while 'resource ::Dummy'
matches all resources of 'Dummy' type regardless of their standard and provider.
Dates are expected to conform to ISO 8601 format.
Duration options are: hours, monthdays, weekdays, yearsdays, months, weeks, years, weekyears,
moon. Value for these options is an integer.
Date-spec options are: hours, monthdays, weekdays, yearsdays, months, weeks, years, weekyears,
moon. Value for these options is an integer or a range written as integer-integer.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own
defined values.
op defaults set delete [<set id>]...
Delete specified options sets.
op defaults set remove [<set id>]...
Delete specified options sets.
op defaults set update <set id> [meta [<name>=<value>]...]
Add, remove or change values in specified set of default values for resource / stonith device
operations. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to
empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own
defined values.
op defaults update <name>=<value>...
Add, remove or change default values for operations. This is a simplified command useful for cases
when you only manage one set of default values. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you
wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own
defined values.
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 resource-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. If the group remains empty after move,
it is deleted (for cloned groups, the clone is deleted as well). The delete operation may fail in
case the group is referenced within the configuration, e.g. by constraints. In that case, use 'pcs
resource ungroup' command prior to moving all resources out of the 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]... [--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.
group remove <group 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.
ungroup <group 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 id>] [meta <clone meta 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 id>] [meta <clone meta 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 <clone id | resource id | group id> [--wait[=n]]
Remove the specified clone or 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 of specified bundle. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If
you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.
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 | tag id>... [--monitor]
Set resources listed to managed mode (default). If --monitor is specified, enable all monitor
operations of the resources.
unmanage <resource id | tag 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 [config] [--all] [--full] [--no-check-expired]
List currently configured default values for resources / stonith devices. If --all is specified,
also list expired sets of values. If --full is specified, also list ids. If --no-expire-check is
specified, do not evaluate whether sets of values are expired.
defaults <name>=<value>...
Set default values for resources / stonith devices.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own
defined values.
defaults set create [<set options>] [meta [<name>=<value>]...] [rule [<expression>]]
Create a new set of default values for resources / stonith devices. You may specify a rule
describing resources / stonith devices to which the set applies.
Set options are: id, score
Expression looks like one of the following:
resource [<standard>]:[<provider>]:[<type>]
date gt|lt <date>
date in_range [<date>] to <date>
date in_range <date> to duration <duration options>
date-spec <date-spec options>
<expression> and|or <expression>
(<expression>)
You may specify all or any of 'standard', 'provider' and 'type' in a resource expression. For
example: 'resource ocf::' matches all resources of 'ocf' standard, while 'resource ::Dummy'
matches all resources of 'Dummy' type regardless of their standard and provider.
Dates are expected to conform to ISO 8601 format.
Duration options are: hours, monthdays, weekdays, yearsdays, months, weeks, years, weekyears,
moon. Value for these options is an integer.
Date-spec options are: hours, monthdays, weekdays, yearsdays, months, weeks, years, weekyears,
moon. Value for these options is an integer or a range written as integer-integer.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own
defined values.
defaults set delete [<set id>]...
Delete specified options sets.
defaults set remove [<set id>]...
Delete specified options sets.
defaults set update <set id> [meta [<name>=<value>]...]
Add, remove or change values in specified set of default values for resources / stonith devices.
Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty
value, i.e. 'option_name='.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own
defined values.
defaults update <name>=<value>...
Add, remove or change default values for resources / stonith devices. This is a simplified command
useful for cases when you only manage one set of default values. Unspecified options will be kept
unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own
defined values.
cleanup [<resource id | stonith id>] [node=<node>] [operation=<operation> [interval=<interval>]]
[--strict]
Make the cluster forget failed operations from history of the resource / stonith device and
re-detect its current state. This can be useful to purge knowledge of past failures that have
since been resolved.
If the named resource is part of a group, or one numbered instance of a clone or bundled resource,
the clean-up applies to the whole collective resource unless --strict is given.
If a resource id / 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 [<resource id | stonith id>] [node=<node>] [--strict]
Make the cluster forget the complete operation history (including failures) of the resource /
stonith device and re-detect its current state. If you are interested in forgetting failed
operations only, use the 'pcs resource cleanup' command.
If the named resource is part of a group, or one numbered instance of a clone or bundled resource,
the refresh applies to the whole collective resource unless --strict is given.
If a resource id / 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.
failcount [show [<resource id | stonith id>] [node=<node>] [operation=<operation> [interval=<interval>]]]
[--full]
Show current failcount for resources and stonith devices, optionally filtered by a resource /
stonith device, node, operation and its interval. If --full is specified do not sum failcounts per
resource / stonith device 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 For the utilization configuration to be in effect, cluster property
'placement-strategy' must be configured accordingly.
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.

[--no-keys-sync]) | [--corosync_conf <path>]
Create a cluster from the listed nodes and synchronize cluster configuration files to them. If
--corosync_conf is specified, do not connect to other nodes and save corosync.conf to the
specified path; see 'Local only mode' below for details.
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)
Each 'link' followed by options sets options for one link in the order the links are defined by
nodes' addresses. You can set link options for a subset of links using a linknumber. See examples
below.
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: block_unlisted_ips, 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.
--no-cluster-uuid will not generate a unique ID for the cluster. --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.
Local only mode:
By default, pcs connects to all specified nodes to verify they can be used in the new cluster and
to send cluster configuration files to them. If this is not what you want, specify --corosync_conf
option followed by a file path. Pcs will save corosync.conf to the specified file and will not
connect to cluster nodes. These are the tasks that pcs skips in that case:
* make sure the nodes are not running or configured to run a cluster already
* make sure cluster packages are installed on all nodes and their versions are compatible
* make sure there are no cluster configuration files on any node (run 'pcs cluster destroy' and
remove pcs_settings.conf file on all nodes)
* synchronize corosync and pacemaker authkeys, /etc/corosync/authkey and /etc/pacemaker/authkey
respectively, and the corosync.conf file
* authenticate the cluster nodes against each other ('pcs cluster auth' or 'pcs host auth'
command)
* synchronize pcsd certificates (so that pcs web UI can be used in an HA mode)
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 all links. Link options are matched to the links in order. The first link
(link 0) has sctp transport, the second link (link 1) has mcastport 55405:
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 transport=sctp link mcastport=55405
Set link options for the second and fourth links only. Link options are matched to the links based
on the linknumber option (the first link is link 0):
pcs cluster setup newcluster node1 addr=10.0.1.11 addr=10.0.2.11 addr=10.0.3.11 addr=10.0.4.11
node2 addr=10.0.1.12 addr=10.0.2.12 addr=10.0.3.12 addr=10.0.4.12 transport knet link linknumber=3
mcastport=55405 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
config [show] [--output-format text|cmd|json] [--corosync_conf <path>]
Show cluster configuration. There are 3 formats of output available: 'cmd', 'json' and 'text',
default is 'text'. Format 'text' is a human friendly output. Format 'cmd' prints pcs commands
which can be used to recreate the same configuration. Format 'json' is a machine oriented output
of the configuration. If --corosync_conf is specified, configuration file specified by <path> is
used instead of the current cluster configuration.
config update [transport <transport options>] [compression <compression options>] [crypto <crypto
options>] [totem <totem options>] [--corosync_conf <path>]
Update cluster configuration. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an
option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.
If --corosync_conf is specified, update cluster configuration in a file specified by <path>.
All options are documented in corosync.conf(5) man page. There are different transport options for
transport types. Compression and crypto options are only available for knet transport. Totem
options can be set regardless of the transport type.
Transport options for knet transport are: ip_version, knet_pmtud_interval, link_mode
Transport options for udp and updu transports are: ip_version, netmtu
Compression options are: level, model, threshold
Crypto options are: cipher, hash, model
Totem options are: block_unlisted_ips, 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
config uuid generate [--corosync_conf <path>] [--force]
Generate a new cluster UUID and distribute it to all cluster nodes. Cluster UUID is not used by
the cluster stack in any way, it is provided to easily distinguish between multiple clusters in a
multi-cluster environment since the cluster name does not have to be unique.
If --corosync_conf is specified, update cluster configuration in file specified by <path>.
If --force is specified, existing UUID will be overwritten.
authkey corosync [<path>]
Generate a new corosync authkey and distribute it to all cluster nodes. If <path> is specified, do
not generate a key and use key from the file.
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').
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: acls, alerts, configuration, constraints, crm_config, fencing-
topology, nodes, op_defaults, resources, rsc_defaults, tags. --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: acls, alerts,
configuration, constraints, crm_config, fencing-topology, nodes, op_defaults, resources,
rsc_defaults, tags. --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]

upon saving. Specify scope to edit a specific section of the CIB. Valid values of the scope are:
acls, alerts, configuration, constraints, crm_config, fencing-topology, nodes, op_defaults,
resources, rsc_defaults, tags. --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.

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
of the node or the address of the node.

of the node or the address of the node.
node add-guest <node name> <resource id> [options] [--wait[=<n>]]
Make the specified resource a guest node resource. Sync all relevant configuration files to the
new node. Start the node and configure it to start the cluster on boot. Options are remote-addr,
remote-port and remote-connect-timeout. If remote-addr 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-guest <node identifier>

<stonith id> | --after <stonith id>]] [--disabled] [--agent-validation] [--wait[=n]]
Create stonith device with specified type and options. If --group is specified the stonith device
is added to the group named. You can use --before or --after to specify the position of the added
stonith device relatively to some stonith device already existing in the group. If--disabled is
specified the stonith device is not used. If --agent-validation is specified, stonith agent
validate-all action will be used to validate stonith device options. If --wait is specified, pcs
will wait up to 'n' seconds for the stonith device to start and then return 0 if the stonith
device is started, or 1 if the stonith device has not yet started. If 'n' is not specified it
defaults to 60 minutes.
Example: Create a device for nodes node1 and node2

options>] [--agent-validation] [--wait[=n]]
Add, remove or change options of specified stonith device. Unspecified options will be kept
unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.
If an operation (op) is specified it will update the first found operation with the same action on
the specified stonith device. 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 --agent-validation is specified, stonith agent validate-all action will be used to validate
stonith device options.
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.

defined values.
cleanup [<resource id | stonith id>] [node=<node>] [operation=<operation> [interval=<interval>]]
[--strict]
This command is an alias of 'resource cleanup' command.
Make the cluster forget failed operations from history of the resource / stonith device and
re-detect its current state. This can be useful to purge knowledge of past failures that have
since been resolved.
If the named resource is part of a group, or one numbered instance of a clone or bundled resource,
the clean-up applies to the whole collective resource unless --strict is given.
If a resource id / 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 [<resource id | stonith id>] [node=<node>] [--strict]
This command is an alias of 'resource refresh' command.
Make the cluster forget the complete operation history (including failures) of the resource /
stonith device and re-detect its current state. If you are interested in forgetting failed
operations only, use the 'pcs resource cleanup' command.
If the named resource is part of a group, or one numbered instance of a clone or bundled resource,
the refresh applies to the whole collective resource unless --strict is given.
If a resource id / 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.
failcount [show [<resource id | stonith id>] [node=<node>] [operation=<operation> [interval=<interval>]]]
[--full]
This command is an alias of 'resource failcount show' command.
Show current failcount for resources and stonith devices, optionally filtered by a resource /
stonith device, node, operation and its interval. If --full is specified do not sum failcounts per
resource / stonith device and node. Use 'pcs resource cleanup' or 'pcs resource refresh' to reset
failcounts.
enable <stonith id>... [--wait[=n]]
Allow the cluster to use the stonith devices. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n'
seconds for the stonith devices to start and then return 0 if the stonith devices are started, or
1 if the stonith devices have not yet started. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
disable <stonith id>... [--wait[=n]]
Attempt to stop the stonith devices if they are running and disallow the cluster to use them. If
--wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the stonith devices to stop and then
return 0 if the stonith devices are stopped or 1 if the stonith devices have not stopped. If 'n'
is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
level [config]
Lists all of the fencing levels currently configured.
level add <level> <target> <stonith id> [stonith id]...
Add the fencing level for the specified target with the list of stonith devices to attempt for
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 <target>] [stonith <stonith id>...]
Removes the fence level for the level, target and/or devices specified. If no target or devices
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 remove <level> [target <target>] [stonith <stonith id>...]
Removes the fence level for the level, target and/or devices specified. If no target or devices
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 <target> | stonith <stonith id>...]
Clears the fence levels on the target (or stonith id) specified or clears all fence levels if a
target/stonith id is not specified. 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 stonith 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.
history [show [<node>]]
Show fencing history for the specified node or all nodes if no node specified.
history cleanup [<node>]
Cleanup fence history of the specified node or all nodes if no node specified.
history update
Update fence history from all nodes.
sbd enable [watchdog=<path>[@<node>]]... [device=<path>[@<node>]]... [<SBD_OPTION>=<value>]...
[--no-watchdog-validation]
Enable SBD in cluster. Default path for watchdog device is /dev/watchdog. Allowed SBD options:
SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (default: 5), SBD_DELAY_START (default: no), SBD_STARTMODE (default: always)
and SBD_TIMEOUT_ACTION. SBD options are documented in sbd(8) man page. It is possible to specify
up to 3 devices per node. If --no-watchdog-validation is specified, validation of watchdogs will
be skipped.
WARNING: Cluster has to be restarted in order to apply these changes.
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.
Example of enabling SBD in cluster with watchdogs on node1 will be /dev/watchdog2, on node2
/dev/watchdog1, /dev/watchdog0 on all other nodes, device /dev/sdb on node1, device /dev/sda on
all other nodes and watchdog timeout will bet set to 10 seconds:
pcs stonith sbd enable watchdog=/dev/watchdog2@node1 watchdog=/dev/watchdog1@node2
watchdog=/dev/watchdog0 device=/dev/sdb@node1 device=/dev/sda SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT=10
sbd disable
Disable SBD in cluster.
WARNING: Cluster has to be restarted in order to apply these changes.
sbd device setup device=<path> [device=<path>]... [watchdog-timeout=<integer>]
[allocate-timeout=<integer>] [loop-timeout=<integer>] [msgwait-timeout=<integer>]
Initialize SBD structures on device(s) with specified timeouts.
WARNING: All content on device(s) will be overwritten.
sbd device message <device-path> <node> <message-type>
Manually set a message of the specified type on the device for the node. Possible message types
(they are documented in sbd(8) man page): test, reset, off, crashdump, exit, clear
sbd status [--full]
Show status of SBD services in cluster and local device(s) configured. If --full is specified,
also dump of SBD headers on device(s) will be shown.
sbd config
Show SBD configuration in cluster.
sbd watchdog list
Show all available watchdog devices on the local node.
WARNING: Listing available watchdogs may cause a restart of the system when a watchdog with
no-way-out-feature enabled is present.
sbd watchdog test [<watchdog-path>]
This operation is expected to force-reboot the local system without following any shutdown
procedures using a watchdog. If no watchdog is specified, available watchdog will be used if only
one watchdog device is available on the local system.
acl
[config]
List all current access control lists.
enable Enable access control lists.
disable
Disable access control lists.
role create <role id> [description=<description>] [((read | write | deny) (xpath <query> | id <id>))...]
Create a role with the id and (optional) description specified. Each role can also have an
unlimited number of permissions (read/write/deny) applied to either an xpath query or the id of a
specific element in the cib.
Permissions are applied to the selected XML element's entire XML subtree (all elements enclosed
within it). Write permission grants the ability to create, modify, or remove the element and its
subtree, and also the ability to create any "scaffolding" elements (enclosing elements that do not
have attributes other than an ID). Permissions for more specific matches (more deeply nested
elements) take precedence over more general ones. If multiple permissions are configured for the
same match (for example, in different roles applied to the same user), any deny permission takes
precedence, then write, then lastly read.
An xpath may include an attribute expression to select only elements that match the expression,
but the permission still applies to the entire element (and its subtree), not to the attribute
alone. For example, using the xpath "//*[@name]" to give write permission would allow changes to
the entirety of all elements that have a "name" attribute and everything enclosed by those
elements. There is no way currently to give permissions for just one attribute of an element. That
is to say, you can not define an ACL that allows someone to read just the dc-uuid attribute of the
cib tag - that would select the cib element and give read access to the entire CIB.
role delete <role id>
Delete the role specified and remove it from any users/groups it was assigned to.
role remove <role id>
Delete the role specified and remove it from any users/groups it was assigned to.
role assign <role id> [to] [user|group] <username/group>
Assign a role to a user or group already created with 'pcs acl user/group create'. If there is
user and group with the same id and it is not specified which should be used, user will be
prioritized. In cases like this specify whenever user or group should be used.
role unassign <role id> [from] [user|group] <username/group>
Remove a role from the specified user. If there is user and group with the same id and it is not
specified which should be used, user will be prioritized. In cases like this specify whenever user
or group should be used.
user create <username> [<role id>]...
Create an ACL for the user specified and assign roles to the user.
user delete <username>
Remove the user specified (and roles assigned will be unassigned for the specified user).
user remove <username>
Remove the user specified (and roles assigned will be unassigned for the specified user).
group create <group> [<role id>]...
Create an ACL for the group specified and assign roles to the group.
group delete <group>
Remove the group specified (and roles assigned will be unassigned for the specified group).
group remove <group>
Remove the group specified (and roles assigned will be unassigned for the specified group).
permission add <role id> ((read | write | deny) (xpath <query> | id <id>))...
Add the listed permissions to the role specified. Permissions are applied to either an xpath query
or the id of a specific element in the CIB.
Permissions are applied to the selected XML element's entire XML subtree (all elements enclosed
within it). Write permission grants the ability to create, modify, or remove the element and its
subtree, and also the ability to create any "scaffolding" elements (enclosing elements that do not
have attributes other than an ID). Permissions for more specific matches (more deeply nested
elements) take precedence over more general ones. If multiple permissions are configured for the

is to say, you can not define an ACL that allows someone to read just the dc-uuid attribute of the
cib tag - that would select the cib element and give read access to the entire CIB.
permission delete <permission id>
Remove the permission id specified (permission id's are listed in parenthesis after permissions in
'pcs acl' output).
permission remove <permission id>

weeks, years, weekyears, moon. Resource may be either a resource id <resource_id> or
%<resource_id> or resource%<resource_id>, or a resource name regular expression
regexp%<resource_pattern>. If score is omitted it defaults to INFINITY. If id is omitted one is
generated from the resource id. If resource-discovery is omitted it defaults to 'always'.
location [config [resources [<resource reference>...]] | [nodes [<node>...]]] [--full] [--all]
[--output-format text|cmd|json]
List all the current location constraints that are not expired. If 'resources' is specified,
location constraints are displayed per resource. If 'nodes' is specified, location constraints are
displayed per node. If specific nodes, resources or resource name regular expressions are
specified, only constraints containing those will be shown. Resource reference may be either a
resource id <resource_id> or %<resource_id> or resource%<resource_id>, or a resource name regular
expression regexp%<resource_pattern>. If --full is specified show the internal constraint id's as
well. If --all is specified show the expired constraints. There are 3 formats of output available:

Remove rules from their location constraints. If all rules are removed from a constraint, the
constraint will also be removed.
qdevice
status <device model> [--full] [<cluster name>]
Show runtime status of specified model of quorum device provider. Using --full will give more
detailed output. If <cluster name> is specified, only information about the specified cluster
will be displayed.
setup model <device model> [--enable] [--start]
Configure specified model of quorum device provider. Quorum device then can be added to clusters
by running "pcs quorum device add" command in a cluster. --start will also start the provider.
--enable will configure the provider to start on boot.
destroy <device model>
Disable and stop specified model of quorum device provider and delete its configuration files.
start <device model>
Start specified model of quorum device provider.
stop <device model>
Stop specified model of quorum device provider.
kill <device model>

(e.g. systemd) can detect that the qdevice is not running and start it again. If you want to stop
the qdevice, run "pcs qdevice stop" command.
enable <device model>
Configure specified model of quorum device provider to start on boot.
disable <device model>
Configure specified model of quorum device provider to not start on boot.
quorum
[config]
Show quorum configuration.
status Show quorum runtime status.
device add [<generic options>] model <device model> [<model options>] [heuristics <heuristics options>]
Add a quorum device to the cluster. Quorum device should be configured first with "pcs qdevice
setup". It is not possible to use more than one quorum device in a cluster simultaneously.
Currently the only supported model is 'net'. It requires model options 'algorithm' and 'host' to
be specified. Options are documented in corosync-qdevice(8) man page; generic options are
'sync_timeout' and 'timeout', for model net options check the quorum.device.net section, for
heuristics options see the quorum.device.heuristics section. Pcs automatically creates and
distributes TLS certificates and sets the 'tls' model option to the default value 'on'.
Example: pcs quorum device add model net algorithm=lms host=qnetd.internal.example.com
device heuristics delete
Remove all heuristics settings of the configured quorum device.
device heuristics remove
Remove all heuristics settings of the configured quorum device.
device delete
Remove a quorum device from the cluster.
device remove
Remove a quorum device from the cluster.
device status [--full]
Show quorum device runtime status. Using --full will give more detailed output.
device update [<generic options>] [model <model options>] [heuristics <heuristics options>]
Add, remove or change quorum device options. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you
wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='. Requires the cluster to be
stopped. Model and options are all documented in corosync-qdevice(8) man page; for heuristics
options check the quorum.device.heuristics subkey section, for model options check the
quorum.device.<device model> subkey sections.
WARNING: If you want to change "host" option of qdevice model net, use "pcs quorum device remove"
and "pcs quorum device add" commands to set up configuration properly unless old and new host is
the same machine.
expected-votes <votes>
Set expected votes in the live cluster to specified value. This only affects the live cluster,
not changes any configuration files.
unblock [--force]
Cancel waiting for all nodes when establishing quorum. Useful in situations where you know the
cluster is inquorate, but you are confident that the cluster should proceed with resource
management regardless. This command should ONLY be used when nodes which the cluster is waiting
for have been confirmed to be powered off and to have no access to shared resources.
WARNING: If the nodes are not actually powered off or they do 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.
update [auto_tie_breaker=[0|1]] [last_man_standing=[0|1]] [last_man_standing_window=[<time in ms>]]
[wait_for_all=[0|1]]
Add, remove or change quorum options. At least one option must be specified. Unspecified options
will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e.
'option_name='. Options are documented in corosync's votequorum(5) man page. Requires the cluster
to be stopped.
booth
setup sites <address> <address> [<address>...] [arbitrators <address> ...] [--force]
Write new booth configuration with specified sites and arbitrators. Total number of peers (sites
and arbitrators) must be odd. When the configuration file already exists, command fails unless
--force is specified.
destroy
Remove booth configuration files.
ticket add <ticket> [<name>=<value> ...]
Add new ticket to the current configuration. Ticket options are specified in booth manpage.
ticket delete <ticket>
Remove the specified ticket from the current configuration.
ticket remove <ticket>
Remove the specified ticket from the current configuration.
config [<node>]
Show booth configuration from the specified node or from the current node if node not specified.
create ip <address>
Make the cluster run booth service on the specified ip address as a cluster resource. Typically
this is used to run booth site.
delete Remove booth resources created by the "pcs booth create" command.
remove Remove booth resources created by the "pcs booth create" command.
restart
Restart booth resources created by the "pcs booth create" command.
ticket grant <ticket> [<site address>]
Grant the ticket to the site specified by the address, hence to the booth formation this site is a
member of. When this specification is omitted, site address that has been specified with 'pcs
booth create' command is used. Specifying site address is therefore mandatory when running this
command at a host in an arbitrator role.
Note that the ticket must not be already granted in given booth formation; for an ad-hoc (and, in
the worst case, abrupt, for a lack of a direct atomicity) change of this preference baring direct
interventions at the sites, the ticket needs to be revoked first, only then it can be granted at
another site again.
ticket revoke <ticket> [<site address>]
Revoke the ticket in the booth formation as identified with one of its member sites specified by
the address. When this specification is omitted, site address that has been specified with a prior
'pcs booth create' command is used. Specifying site address is therefore mandatory when running
this command at a host in an arbitrator role.
status Print current status of booth on the local node.
pull <node>
Pull booth configuration from the specified node.
sync [--skip-offline]
Send booth configuration from the local node to all nodes in the cluster.

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.
