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