Table D.1. Command Line Tool Summary

Command Line Tool	Used With	Purpose
`ccs_config_dump` — Cluster Configuration Dump Tool	Cluster Infrastructure	`ccs_config_dump` generates XML output of running configuration. The running configuration is, sometimes, different from the stored configuration on file because some subsystems store or set some default information into the configuration. Those values are generally not present on the on-disk version of the configuration but are required at runtime for the cluster to work properly. For more information about this tool, refer to the ccs_config_dump(8) man page.
`ccs_config_validate` — Cluster Configuration Validation Tool	Cluster Infrastructure	`ccs_config_validate` validates `cluster.conf` against the schema, `cluster.rng` (located in `/usr/share/cluster/cluster.rng` on each node. For more information about this tool, refer to the ccs_config_validate(8) man page.
`clustat` — Cluster Status Utility	High-availability Service Management Components	The `clustat` command displays the status of the cluster. It shows membership information, quorum view, and the state of all configured user services. For more information about this tool, refer to the clustat(8) man page.
`clusvcadm` — Cluster User Service Administration Utility	High-availability Service Management Components	The `clusvcadm` command allows you to enable, disable, relocate, and restart high-availability services in a cluster. For more information about this tool, refer to the clusvcadm(8) man page.
`cman_tool` — Cluster Management Tool	Cluster Infrastructure	`cman_tool` is a program that manages the CMAN cluster manager. It provides the capability to join a cluster, leave a cluster, kill a node, or change the expected quorum votes of a node in a cluster. For more information about this tool, refer to the cman_tool(8) man page.
`fence_tool` — Fence Tool	Cluster Infrastructure	`fence_tool` is a program used to join and leave the fence domain. For more information about this tool, refer to the fence_tool(8) man page.
