DESCRIPTION The &dhpackage; is used for importing and exporting instances and their configuration from a ganeti system. It is useful for backing instances up and also to migrate them between clusters. COMMANDS EXPORT export -n node --noshutdown instance Exports an instance to the target node. All the instance data and its configuration will be exported under the /srv/ganeti/exports/instance directory on the target node. The option will create a snapshot disk of the instance without shutting it down first. While this is faster and involves no downtime, it cannot be guaranteed that the instance data will be in a consistent state in the exported dump. Example: # gnt-backup export -n node1.example.com instance3.example.com IMPORT import -n node:secondary-node -s disksize -o os-type -m memsize -b bridge -t diskless plain local_raid1 remote_raid1 drbd --src-node=source-node --src-dir=source-dir instance Imports a new instance from an export residing on source-node in source-dir. instance must be in DNS and resolve to a IP in the same network as the nodes in the cluster. The option specifies the disk size for the instance, in mebibytes (defaults to 20480MiB = 20GiB). You can also use one of the suffixes m, g or t to specificy the exact the units used; these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes. The options specifies the operating system to be installed. The available operating systems can be listed with gnt-os list. The option specifies the memory size for the instance, in mebibytes (defaults to 128 MiB). The option specifies the bridge to which the instance will be connected. (defaults to the cluster-wide default bridge specified at cluster intialization time). The options specifies the disk layout type for the instance. The available choices are: diskless This creates an instance with no disks. Its useful for testing only (or other special cases). plain Disk devices will be logical volumes. local_raid1 Disk devices will be md raid1 arrays over two local logical volumes. remote_raid1 Disk devices will be md raid1 arrays with one component (so it's not actually raid1): a drbd (0.7.x) device between the instance's primary node and the node given by the second value of the option. drbd Disk devices will be drbd (version 8.x) on top of lvm volumes. They are equivalent in functionality to remote_raid1, but are recommended for new instances (if you have drbd 8.x installed). If you do not want gnt-backup to wait for the disk mirror to be synced, use the option. Example: # gnt-backup import -t plain -s 30 -m 512 -n node1.example.com \ > --src-node=node2.example.com \ > --src-dir=/srv/ganeti/exports/instance3.example.com \ > instance3.example.com LIST list --node=NODE Lists the exports currently available in the default directory in all the nodes of the current cluster, or optionally only a subset of them specified using the option (which can be used multiple times) Example: # gnt-backup list --nodes node1 --nodes node2 &footer;
