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