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

+The command performs some operations that change the state of the master
+and the new node, like copying certificates and starting the node daemon
+on the new node, or updating ``/etc/hosts`` on the master node. If the
+command fails at a later stage, it doesn't undo such changes. This
+should not be a problem, as a successful run of ``gnt-node add`` will

Example::
ADD-TAGS
~~~~~~~~
-**add-tags** [--from *file*] {*nodename*} {*tag*...}
+**add-tags** [\--from *file*] {*nodename*} {*tag*...}
Add tags to the given node. If any of the tags contains invalid
characters, the entire operation will abort.

+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

The new location for the instances can be specified in two ways:

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

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`` for non-DRBD instances, but for DRBD instances
+ it's different, and usually is a slow process (it will change the
+ primary to another node while keeping the secondary, this requiring
+ data copies, whereas failover/migrate will only toggle the
+ primary/secondary roles, a fast process)
+- ``--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

having a drbd disk template.
