gnt-debug - Debug commands

Synopsis
--------

**gnt-debug** {command} [arguments...]

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The **gnt-debug** is used for debugging the Ganeti system.

COMMANDS
--------

ALLOCATOR
~~~~~~~~~

**allocator** [--debug] [--dir *DIRECTION*] {--algorithm
*ALLOCATOR* } [--mode *MODE*] [--mem *MEMORY*] [--disks *DISKS*]
[--disk-template *TEMPLATE*] [--nics *NICS*] [--os-type *OS*]
[--vcpus *VCPUS*] [--tags *TAGS*] {*instance*}

Executes a test run of the *iallocator* framework.

The command will build input for a given iallocator script (named
with the ``--algorithm`` option), and either show this input data
(if *DIRECTION* is ``in``) or run the iallocator script and show its
output (if *DIRECTION* is ``out``).

If the *MODE* is ``allocate``, then an instance definition is built
from the other arguments and sent to the script, otherwise (*MODE* is
``relocate``) an existing instance name must be passed as the first
argument.

This build of Ganeti will look for iallocator scripts in the following
directories: @CUSTOM_IALLOCATOR_SEARCH_PATH@; for more details about
this framework, see the HTML or PDF documentation.

DELAY
~~~~~

**delay** [--debug] [--no-master] [-n *NODE*...] {*duration*}

Run a test opcode (a sleep) on the master and on selected nodes
(via an RPC call). This serves no other purpose but to execute a
test operation.

The ``-n`` option can be given multiple times to select the nodes
for the RPC call. By default, the delay will also be executed on
the master, unless the ``--no-master`` option is passed.

The *delay* argument will be interpreted as a floating point
number.

SUBMIT-JOB
~~~~~~~~~~

**submit-job** [--verbose] [--timing-stats] [--job-repeat ``N``]
[--op-repeat ``N``] {opcodes_file...}

This command builds a list of opcodes from files in JSON format and
submits a job per file to the master daemon. It can be used to test
options that are not available via command line.

The ``verbose`` option will additionally display the corresponding
job IDs and the progress in waiting for the jobs; the
``timing-stats`` option will show some overall statistics inluding
the number of total opcodes, jobs submitted and time spent in each
stage (submit, exec, total).

The ``job-repeat`` and ``op-repeat`` options allow to submit
multiple copies of the passed arguments; job-repeat will cause N
copies of each job (input file) to be submitted (equivalent to
passing the arguments N times) while op-repeat will cause N copies
of each of the opcodes in the file to be executed (equivalent to
each file containing N copies of the opcodes).

TEST-JOBQUEUE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**test-jobqueue**

Executes a few tests on the job queue. This command might generate
failed jobs deliberately.

LOCKS
~~~~~

| **locks** [--no-headers] [--separator=*SEPARATOR*] [-v]
| [-o *[+]FIELD,...*] [--interval=*SECONDS*]

Shows a list of locks in the master daemon.

The ``--no-headers`` option will skip the initial header line. The
``--separator`` option takes an argument which denotes what will be
used between the output fields. Both these options are to help
scripting.

The ``-v`` option activates verbose mode, which changes the display of
special field states (see **ganeti(7)**).

The ``-o`` option takes a comma-separated list of output fields.
The available fields and their meaning are:

name
    Lock name

mode
    Mode in which the lock is currently acquired (exclusive or shared)

owner
    Current lock owner(s)

pending
    Threads waiting for the lock


If the value of the option starts with the character ``+``, the new
fields will be added to the default list. This allows to quickly
see the default list plus a few other fields, instead of retyping
the entire list of fields.

Use ``--interval`` to repeat the listing. A delay specified by the
option value in seconds is inserted.
