| {*group*}
Creates a new group with the given name. The node group will be
-initially empty.
+initially empty; to add nodes to it, use ``gnt-group assign-nodes``.
The ``--node-parameters`` option allows you to set default node
parameters for nodes in the group. Please see **ganeti**(7) for more
information about supported key=value pairs.
+The ``--alloc-policy`` option allows you to set an allocation policy for
+the group at creation time. Possible values are:
+
+unallocable
+ nodes in the group should not be candidates for instance allocation,
+ and the operation (e.g., instance creation) should fail if only
+ groups in this state could be found to satisfy the requirements.
+
+last_resort
+ nodes in the group should not be used for instance allocations,
+ unless this would be the only way to have the operation succeed.
+
+preferred
+ nodes in the group can be used freely for allocation of instances
+ (this is the default). Note that prioritization among groups in this
+ state will be deferred to the iallocator plugin that's being used.
+
+ASSIGN-NODES
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+| **assign-nodes**
+| [--force]
+| {*group*} {*node*...}
+
+Assigns one or more nodes to the specified group, moving them from their
+original group (or groups).
+
+By default, this command will refuse to proceed if the move would split
+between groups any instance that was not previously split (a split
+instance is an instance with a mirrored disk template, e.g. DRBD, that
+has the primary and secondary nodes in different node groups). You can
+force the operation with ``--force``.

+| **modify**

+Modifies some parameters from the node group.

+The ``--node-parameters`` and ``--alloc-policy`` optiosn are documented
+in the **add** command above.

pinst_list
the list of primary instances in the group
+alloc_policy

+
ctime
the creation time of the group; note that this field contains spaces
and as such it's harder to parse
If no group names are given, then all groups are included. Otherwise,
only the named groups will be listed.
