I'll disagree here. The crm shell is there to let the vast
majority of people start working with Pacemaker without having to
read XML. And then also enable most of them never to think about
XML. crm should be able to represent all cluster configurations
without the XML scaffolding (and you won't miss much, it is
horrible anyway). In short, what would one gain by reading XML
instead of the stripped crm representation?

Thanks,

Dejan

But something strange is happening when I try crm ra classes command. Nothing is showed. I dont know if some configuration is missing. Is ther any problem with it? How can I have a list of classes?
