2 - new --hvm-nic-type and --hvm-disk-type flags to control the type of disk
3 exported to fully virtualized instances.
4 - provide access to the serial console of HVM instances
5 - instance auto_balance flag, set by default. If turned off it will avoid
6 warnings on cluster verify if there is not enough memory to fail over an
7 instance. in the future it will prevent automatically failing it over when
9 - batcher tool for instance creation, see /tools/README.batcher
10 - gnt-instance reinstall --select-os to interactively select a new operating
11 system when reinstalling an instance.
12 - when changing the memory amount on instance modify a check has been added
13 that the instance will be able to start. also warnings are emitted if the
14 instance will not be able to fail over, if auto_balance is true.
16 - sync fields between instance list/modify/add/import
19 - note: the allowed size and number of tags per object were reduced
20 - fix a bug in “gnt-cluster verify” with inconsistent volume groups
21 - fixed twisted 8.x compatibility
22 - fixed gnt-instance replace-disks with iallocator
23 - add TCP keepalives on twisted connections to detect restarted nodes
24 - disk increase support, see “gnt-instance grow-disk”
25 - implement bulk node/instance query for RAPI
26 - add tags in node/instance listing (optional)
27 - experimental migration (and live migration) support, read the man
28 page for “gnt-instance migrate”
29 - the ganeti-watcher logs are now timestamped, and the watcher also
30 has some small improvements in handling its state file
33 - Experimental readonly, REST-based remote API implementation; automatically
34 started on master node, TCP port 5080, if enabled by --enable-rapi
35 parameter to configure script.
36 - Instance allocator support. Add and import instance accept a --iallocator
37 parameter, and call that instance allocator to decide which node to use for
38 the instance. The iallocator document describes what's expected from an
40 - gnt-cluster verify N+1 memory redundancy checks: Unless passed the
41 --no-nplus1-mem option gnt-cluster verify now checks that if a node is lost
42 there is still enough memory to fail over the instances that reside on it.
43 - gnt-cluster verify hooks: it is now possible to add post-hooks to
44 gnt-cluster verify, to check for site-specific compliance. All the hooks
45 will run, and their output, if any, will be displayed. Any failing hook
46 will make the verification return an error value.
47 - gnt-cluster verify now checks that its peers are reachable on the primary
48 and secondary interfaces
49 - gnt-node add now supports the --readd option, to readd a node that is still
50 declared as part of the cluster and has failed.
51 - gnt-* list commands now accept a new -o +field way of specifying output
52 fields, that just adds the chosen fields to the default ones.
53 - gnt-backup now has a new "remove" command to delete an existing export from
55 - New per-instance parameters hvm_acpi, hvm_pae and hvm_cdrom_image_path have
56 been added. Using them you can enable/disable acpi and pae support, and
57 specify a path for a cd image to be exported to the instance. These
58 parameters as the name suggest only work on HVM clusters.
59 - When upgrading an HVM cluster to Ganeti 1.2.4, the values for ACPI and PAE
60 support will be set to the previously hardcoded values, but the (previously
61 hardcoded) path to the CDROM ISO image will be unset and if required, needs
62 to be set manually with gnt-instance modify after the upgrade..
63 - The address to which an instance's VNC console is bound is now selectable
64 per-instance, rather than being cluster wide. Of course this only applies
65 to instances controlled via VNC, so currently just applies to HVM clusters.
68 - more tweaks to the disk activation code (especially helpful for DRBD)
69 - change the default ‘gnt-instance list’ output format, now there is
70 one combined status field (see the manpage for the exact values this
72 - some more fixes for the mac export to hooks change
73 - make Ganeti not break with DRBD 8.2.x (which changed the version
74 format in /proc/drbd) (issue 24)
75 - add an upgrade tool from ‘remote_raid1’ disk template to ‘drbd’ disk
76 template, allowing migration from DRBD0.7+MD to DRBD8
79 - fix ‘gnt-instance modify’ breakage introduced in 1.2.1 with the HVM
81 - add command aliases infrastructure and a few aliases
82 - allow listing of VCPUs in the gnt-instance list and improve the man
83 pages and the --help option of gnt-node/gnt-instance list
84 - fix gnt-backup list with down nodes (issue 21)
85 - change the tools location (move from $pkgdatadir to
87 - fix the dist archive and add a check for including svn/git files in
89 - some developer-related changes: improve the burnin and the QA
90 suite, add an upload script for testing during development
93 - experimental HVM support, read the install document, section
94 "Initializing the cluster"
95 - allow for the PVM hypervisor per-instance kernel and initrd paths
96 - add a new command ‘gnt-cluster verify-disks’ which uses a new
97 algorithm to improve the reconnection of the DRBD pairs if the
98 device on the secondary node has gone away
99 - make logical volume code auto-activate LVs at disk activation time
100 - slightly improve the speed of activating disks
101 - allow specification of the MAC address at instance creation time,
102 and changing it later via ‘gnt-instance modify’
103 - fix handling of external commands that generate lots of output on
105 - update documentation with regard to minimum version of DRBD8
109 - Log the ‘xm create’ output to the node daemon log on failure (to
110 help diagnosing the error)
111 - In debug mode, log all external commands output if failed to the
113 - Change parsing of lvm commands to ignore stderr
116 - Another round of updates to the DRBD 8 code to deal with more
117 failures in the replace secondary node operation
118 - Some more logging of failures in disk operations (lvm, drbd)
119 - A few documentation updates
123 - Change configuration file format from Python's Pickle to JSON.
124 Upgrading is possible using the cfgupgrade utility.
125 - Add support for DRBD 8.0 (new disk template `drbd`) which allows for
126 faster replace disks and is more stable (DRBD 8 has many
127 improvements compared to DRBD 0.7)
128 - Added command line tags support (see man pages for gnt-instance,
129 gnt-node, gnt-cluster)
130 - Added instance rename support
131 - Added multi-instance startup/shutdown
132 - Added cluster rename support
133 - Added `gnt-node evacuate` to simplify some node operations
134 - Added instance reboot operation that can speedup reboot as compared
136 - Soften the requirement that hostnames are in FQDN format
137 - The ganeti-watcher now activates drbd pairs after secondary node
139 - Removed dependency on debian's patched fping that uses the
140 non-standard -S option
141 - Now the OS definitions are searched for in multiple, configurable
142 paths (easier for distros to package)
143 - Some changes to the hooks infrastructure (especially the new
144 post-configuration update hook)
145 - Other small bugfixes
