Commands

-u,  --upgrade

Upgrade the configuration to the latest syntax

-Q,  --query

Query the contents of the CIB

-E,  --erase

Erase the contents of the whole CIB

-B,  --bump

Increase the CIB's epoch value by 1

-C,  --create

Create an object in the CIB (will fail if object already exists)

-M,  --modify

Find object somewhere in CIB's XML tree and update it (fails if object does not exist unless -c is also specified)

-P,  --patch

Supply an update in the form of an XML diff (see crm_diff(8))

-R,  --replace

Recursively replace an object in the CIB

-D,  --delete

Delete first object matching supplied criteria (for example, <op id="rsc1_op1" name="monitor"/>). The XML element name and all attributes must match in order for the element to be deleted.

-d,  --delete-all

When used with --xpath, remove all matching objects in the configuration instead of just the first one

-a,  --empty=[schema]

Output an empty CIB. Accepts an optional schema name argument to use as the validate-with value. If no schema is given, the latest will be used.

-5,  --md5-sum

Calculate the on-disk CIB digest

-6,  --md5-sum-versioned

Calculate an on-the-wire versioned CIB digest

Data

-X,  --xml-text=value

Retrieve XML from the supplied string

-x,  --xml-file=value

Retrieve XML from the named file

-p,  --xml-pipe

Retrieve XML from stdin

Additional Options

-f, --force

Force the action to be performed

-t, --timeout=value

Time (in seconds) to wait before declaring the operation failed

-U, --user=value

Run the command with permissions of the named user (valid only for the root and hacluster accounts)

-s, --sync-call

Wait for call to complete before returning

-l, --local

Command takes effect locally (should be used only for queries)

-o, --scope=value

Limit scope of operation to specific section of CIB Valid values: configuration, nodes, resources, constraints, crm_config, rsc_defaults,

op_defaults, acls, fencing-topology, tags, alerts, status

If both --scope/-o and --xpath/-a are specified, the last one to appear takes effect

-A, --xpath=value

A valid XPath to use instead of --scope/-o If both --scope/-o and --xpath/-a are specified, the last one to appear takes effect

-e, --node-path

When performing XPath queries, return paths of any matches found (for example, "/cib/configuration/resources/clone[@id='dummy-clone']/primitive[@id='dummy']")

-S, --show-access=[value]

Whether to use syntax highlighting for ACLs (with -Q/--query and -U/--user) Allowed values: 'color' (default for terminal), 'text' (plain text, default for non-terminal),

'namespace', or 'auto' (use default value)

Default value: 'auto'

--score

Treat new attribute values as atomic score updates where possible (with --modify/-M). This currently happens by default and cannot be disabled, but this default behavior is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Set this flag if this behavior is desired. This option takes effect when updating XML attributes. For an attribute named "name", if the new value is "name++" or "name+=X" for some score X, the new value is set as follows: If attribute "name" is not already set to some value in the element being updated, the new value is set as a literal string. If the new value is "name++", then the attribute is set to its existing value (parsed as a score) plus 1. If the new value is "name+=X" for some score X, then the attribute is set to its existing value plus X, where the existing value and X are parsed and added as scores. Scores are integer values capped at INFINITY and -INFINITY. Refer to Pacemaker Explained and to the char2score() function for more details on scores, including how they're parsed and added.

-c, --allow-create

(Advanced) Allow target of --modify/-M to be created if it does not exist

-n, --no-children

(Advanced) When querying an object, do not include its children in the result

-N, --node=value

(Advanced) Send command to the specified host

Application Options

-$,  --version

Display software version and exit

-V,  --verbose

Increase debug output (may be specified multiple times)

Examples

Query the configuration from the local node:

# cibadmin --query --local

Query just the cluster options configuration:

# cibadmin --query --scope crm_config

Query all 'target-role' settings:

# cibadmin --query --xpath "//nvpair[@name='target-role']"

Remove all 'is-managed' settings:

# cibadmin --delete-all --xpath "//nvpair[@name='is-managed']"

Remove the resource named 'old':

# cibadmin --delete --xml-text '<primitive id="old"/>'

Remove all resources from the configuration:

# cibadmin --replace --scope resources --xml-text '<resources/>'

Replace complete configuration with contents of $HOME/pacemaker.xml:

# cibadmin --replace --xml-file $HOME/pacemaker.xml

Replace constraints section of configuration with contents of $HOME/constraints.xml:

# cibadmin --replace --scope constraints --xml-file $HOME/constraints.xml

Increase configuration version to prevent old configurations from being loaded accidentally:

# cibadmin --modify --score --xml-text '<cib admin_epoch="admin_epoch++"/>'

Edit the configuration with your favorite $EDITOR:

# cibadmin --query > $HOME/local.xml

# $EDITOR $HOME/local.xml

# cibadmin --replace --xml-file $HOME/local.xml

Assuming terminal, render configuration in color (green for writable, blue for readable, red for denied) to visualize permissions for user tony:

# cibadmin --show-access=color --query --user tony | less -r
