       perform Pacemaker configuration changes in a sandbox

       This  command  sets  up  an  environment in which configuration tools (cibadmin, crm_resource, etc.) work
       offline instead of against a live cluster, allowing changes to be previewed and tested for side effects.

       Create a blank shadow configuration:

              # crm_shadow --create-empty myShadow

       Create a shadow configuration from the running cluster

              # crm_shadow --create myShadow

       Display the current shadow configuration:

              # crm_shadow --display

       Discard the current shadow configuration (named myShadow):

              # crm_shadow --delete myShadow --force

       Upload current shadow configuration (named myShadow) to running cluster:

              # crm_shadow --commit myShadow
