In case you're readding a node after hardware failure, you can use
the ``--readd`` parameter. In this case, you don't need to pass the

+This command will move instances away from the given node. If
+``--primary-only`` is given, only primary instances are evacuated, with
+``--secondary-only`` only secondaries. If neither is given, all
+instances are evacuated. It works only for instances having a drbd disk
+template.
The new location for the instances can be specified in two ways:
-- as a single node for all instances, via the ``--new-secondary``
+- as a single node for all instances, via the ``-n (--new-secondary)``
option
-- or via the ``--iallocator`` option, giving a script name as
+- or via the ``-I (--iallocator)`` option, giving a script name as
parameter, so each instance will be in turn placed on the (per the
script) optimal node
-
The ``--early-release`` changes the code so that the old storage on
node being evacuated is removed early (before the resync is
completed) and the internal Ganeti locks are also released for both
node is known to be fine (thus we won't need the old storage for
potential recovery).
+Note that this command is equivalent to using per-instance commands for
+each affected instance individually:
+
+- ``--primary-only`` is equivalent to ``gnt-instance failover/migration``
+- ``--secondary-only`` is equivalent to ``gnt-instance replace-disks``
+ in the secondary node change mode (only valid for DRBD instances)
+- when neither of the above is done a combination of the two cases is run

Example::
- # gnt-node evacuate -I dumb node3.example.com

Lists the nodes in the cluster.
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.

- total disk space in the volume group used for instance disk
- allocations
-
-dfree
- available disk space in the volume group

-mtotal
- total memory on the physical node
-
-mnode
- the memory used by the node itself
-

- detect node reboots (by tracking changes in this value)
-
-tags
- comma-separated list of the node's tags
-
-serial_no
- the so called 'serial number' of the node; this is a numeric field
- that is incremented each time the node is modified, and it can be
- used to detect modifications
-
-ctime
- the creation time of the node; note that this field contains spaces
- and as such it's harder to parse
-
- if this attribute is not present (e.g. when upgrading from older
- versions), then "N/A" will be shown instead
-

-
-offline
- whether the node is offline or not; if offline, the cluster does
- not communicate with offline nodes; useful for nodes that are not
- reachable in order to avoid delays
-
-role
- A condensed version of the node flags; this field will output a
- one-character field, with the following possible values:
-
- - *M* for the master node

-
-master_capable
- whether the node can become a master candidate
-
-vm_capable
- whether the node can host instances
-
-group
- the name of the node's group, if known (the query is done without
- locking, so data consistency is not guaranteed)
-
-group.uuid
- the UUID of the node's group

+This command calls out to out-of-band management to change the power
state of given node. With ``status`` you get the power status as reported
by the out-of-band managment script.
+
+Note that this command will only work if the out-of-band functionality
+is configured and enabled on the cluster. If this is not the case,
+please use the **powercycle** command above.
+
+Using ``--force`` you skip the confirmation to do the operation.
+Currently this only has effect on ``off`` and ``cycle``. On those two
+you can *not* operate on the master. However, the command will provide
+you with the command to invoke to operate on the master nerver-mind.
+This is considered harmful and Ganeti does not support the use of it.
