SYNOPSIS
ccs_tool [OPTION].. <command>

DESCRIPTION

-h  Help. Print out the usage.

-V  Print the version information.

COMMANDS

update <xml file>
    This command is used to update the config file that ccsd is working with while the cluster is operational (i.e. online). Run this on a single machine to update all instances of ccsd across the cluster. If you are using 'cman' as your cluster manager, you will also need to run cman_tool version -r <new version number> once the update is complete. Failure to do so will result in new nodes (or nodes rejoining after a failure) not being allowed to join the working set due to version number mismatches.

upgrade <location>
    This command is used to upgrade an old CCS format archive to the new xml format. <location> is the location of the old archive, which can be either a block device archive or a file archive. The converted configuration will be printed to stdout.
