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