+If ``--hotplug`` is given any disk and NIC modifications will take
+effect without the need of actual reboot. Please note that this feature
+is currently supported only for KVM hypervisor and there are some
+restrictions: a) KVM versions >= 1.0 support it b) instances with chroot
+or uid pool security model do not support disk hotplug c) RBD disks with
+userspace access mode can not be hotplugged (yet) d) if hotplug fails
+(for any reason) a warning is printed but execution is continued e)
+for existing NIC modification interactive verification is needed unless
+``--force`` option is passed.
+
+If ``--hotplug-if-possible`` is given then ganeti won't abort in case
+hotplug is not supported. It will continue execution and modification
+will take place after reboot. This covers use cases where instances are
+not running or hypervisor is not KVM.
