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