--show-metadata=SPEC
Show the metadata for the named class:provider:agent
-q, --query-xml
Show XML configuration of resource (after any template expansion)
-w, --query-xml-raw
Show XML configuration of resource (before any template expansion)
-g, --get-parameter=PARAM
Display named parameter for resource (use instance attribute unless --element, --meta, or
--utilization is specified)
-W, --locate
Show node(s) currently running resource
-a, --constraints
Display the location and colocation constraints that apply to a resource, and if --recursive is
specified, to the resources directly or indirectly involved in those colocations. If the named
resource is part of a group, or a clone or bundle instance, constraints for the collective
resource will be shown unless --force is given.
-A, --stack
Equivalent to --constraints --recursive
-Y, --why
Show why resources are not running, optionally filtered by --resource and/or --node
Commands:
--validate=LEVEL
Validate resource configuration by calling agent's validate-all action. The configuration may be
specified either by giving an existing resource name with -r, or by specifying --class, --agent,
and --provider arguments, along with any number of --option arguments. An optional LEVEL argument
can be given to control the level of checking performed.
-C, --cleanup
If resource has any past failures, clear its history and fail count. Optionally filtered by
--resource, --node, --operation and --interval (otherwise all). --operation and --interval apply
to fail counts, but entire history is always clear, to allow current state to be rechecked. 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 --force is given.
-R, --refresh
Delete resource's history (including failures) so its current state is rechecked. Optionally
filtered by --resource and --node (otherwise all). 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 --force is given.
-p, --set-parameter=PARAM
Set named parameter for resource (requires -v). Use instance attribute unless --element, --meta,
or --utilization is specified.
-d, --delete-parameter=PARAM
Delete named parameter for resource. Use instance attribute unless --element, --meta or,
--utilization is specified.
Locations:
-M, --move
Create a constraint to move resource. If --node is specified, the constraint will be to move to
that node, otherwise it will be to ban the current node. Unless --force is specified this will
return an error if the resource is already running on the specified node. If --force is specified,
this will always ban the current node. Optional: --lifetime, --promoted. NOTE: This may prevent
the resource from running on its previous location until the implicit constraint expires or is
removed with --clear.
-B, --ban
Create a constraint to keep resource off a node. Optional: --node, --lifetime, --promoted. NOTE:
This will prevent the resource from running on the affected node until the implicit constraint
expires or is removed with --clear. If --node is not specified, it defaults to the node currently
running the resource for primitives and groups, or the promoted instance of promotable clones with
promoted-max=1 (all other situations result in an error as there is no sane default).
-U, --clear
Remove all constraints created by the --ban and/or --move commands. Requires: --resource.
Optional: --node, --promoted, --expired. If --node is not specified, all constraints created by
--ban and --move will be removed for the named resource. If --node and --force are specified, any
constraint created by --move will be cleared, even if it is not for the specified node. If
--expired is specified, only those constraints whose lifetimes have expired will be removed.
-e, --expired
Modifies the --clear argument to remove constraints with expired lifetimes.
-u, --lifetime=TIMESPEC
Lifespan (as ISO 8601 duration) of created constraints (with -B, -M) see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations)
--promoted
Limit scope of command to promoted role (with -B, -M, -U). For -B and -M, previously promoted
instances may remain active in the unpromoted role.
--master
Deprecated: Use --promoted instead
Advanced:
-D, --delete
(Advanced) Delete a resource from the CIB. Required: -t
-F, --fail
(Advanced) Tell the cluster this resource has failed
--restart
(Advanced) Tell the cluster to restart this resource and anything that depends on it
--wait (Advanced) Wait until the cluster settles into a stable state
--digests
(Advanced) Show parameter hashes that Pacemaker uses to detect configuration changes (only
accurate if there is resource history on the specified node). Required: --resource, --node.
Optional: any NAME=VALUE parameters will be used to override the configuration (to see what the
hash would be with those changes).
--force-demote
(Advanced) Bypass the cluster and demote a resource on the local node. Unless --force is
specified, this will refuse to do so if the cluster believes the resource is a clone instance
already running on the local node.
--force-stop
(Advanced) Bypass the cluster and stop a resource on the local node
--force-start
(Advanced) Bypass the cluster and start a resource on the local node. Unless --force is specified,
this will refuse to do so if the cluster believes the resource is a clone instance already running
on the local node.
--force-promote
(Advanced) Bypass the cluster and promote a resource on the local node. Unless --force is
specified, this will refuse to do so if the cluster believes the resource is a clone instance
already running on the local node.
--force-check=LEVEL
(Advanced) Bypass the cluster and check the state of a resource on the local node. An optional
LEVEL argument can be given to control the level of checking performed.
Additional Options:
-N, --node=NAME
Node name
--recursive
Follow colocation chains when using --set-parameter or --constraints
-t, --resource-type=ELEMENT
Resource XML element (primitive, group, etc.) (with -D)
-v, --parameter-value=PARAM
Value to use with -p
-m, --meta
Use resource meta-attribute instead of instance attribute (with -p, -g, -d)
-z, --utilization
Use resource utilization attribute instead of instance attribute (with -p, -g, -d)
--element
Use resource element attribute instead of instance attribute (with -p, -g, -d)
-n, --operation=OPERATION
Operation to clear instead of all (with -C -r)
-I, --interval=N
Interval of operation to clear (default 0) (with -C -r -n)
--class=CLASS
The standard the resource agent conforms to (for example, ocf). Use with --agent, --provider,
--option, and --validate.
--agent=AGENT
The agent to use (for example, IPaddr). Use with --class, --provider, --option, and --validate.
--provider=PROVIDER
The vendor that supplies the resource agent (for example, heartbeat). Use with --class, --agent,
--option, and --validate.
--option=PARAM
Specify a device configuration parameter as NAME=VALUE (may be specified multiple times). Use with
--validate and without the -r option.
-s, --set-name=ID
(Advanced) XML ID of attributes element to use (with -p, -d)
-i, --nvpair=ID
(Advanced) XML ID of nvpair element to use (with -p, -d)
-T, --timeout=N
(Advanced) Abort if command does not finish in this time (with --restart, --wait, --force-*)
--all List all options, including advanced and deprecated (with --list-options)
-f, --force
Force the action to be performed. See help for individual commands for additional behavior.
Application Options:
-$, --version
Display software version and exit
-V, --verbose
Increase debug output (may be specified multiple times)
-Q, --quiet
Be less descriptive in output.
-r, --resource=ID
Resource ID
EXAMPLES
List the available OCF agents:
# crm_resource --list-agents ocf
List the available OCF agents from the linux-ha project:
# crm_resource --list-agents ocf:heartbeat
Move 'myResource' to a specific node:
# crm_resource --resource myResource --move --node altNode
Allow (but not force) 'myResource' to move back to its original location:
# crm_resource --resource myResource --clear
Stop 'myResource' (and anything that depends on it):
# crm_resource --resource myResource --set-parameter target-role--meta --parameter-value Stopped
Tell the cluster not to manage 'myResource' (the cluster will not attempt to start or stop the resource
under any circumstances; useful when performing maintenance tasks on a resource):
# crm_resource --resource myResource --set-parameter is-managed--meta --parameter-value false
Erase the operation history of 'myResource' on 'aNode' (the cluster will 'forget' the existing resource
state, including any errors, and attempt to recover theresource; useful when a resource had failed
permanently and has been repaired by an administrator):
# crm_resource --resource myResource --cleanup --node aNode
