The configure-time option is ``--enable-manpages-in-doc``. Sphinx 1.0 or higher is required. +- A new htool called ``hroller`` helps scheduling parallel shutdown of + nodes on clusters where all instances are shut down, but without ever + rebooting both primary and secondary node for an instance at the same + time. +- Queries not needing locks or RPC access to the node can now be + performed by the confd daemon, making them independent from jobs, and + thus faster to execute. This is selectable at configure time. +- The KVM hypervisor has been updated with many new hypervisor + parameters, including a generic one for passing arbitrary command line + values. See a complete list in :manpage:`gnt-instance(8)`. +- A new tool, called ``mon-collector``, is the stand-alone executor of + the data collectors for a monitoring system. As of this version, it + just includes the DRBD data collector, that can be executed by calling + ``mon-collector`` using the ``drbd`` parameter. See + :manpage:`mon-collector(7)`. +- New ``exclusive-storage`` node parameter added. When it's set to true, + physical disks are assigned in an exclusive fashion to instances, as + documented in :doc:`Partitioned Ganeti `. + Currently, only instances using the ``plain`` disk template are + supported. +- New network management functionality to support automatic allocation + of IP addresses and managing of network parameters. See + :manpage:`gnt-network(8)` for more details. +- New external storage backend, to allow managing arbitrary storage + systems external to the cluster. See + :manpage:`ganeti-extstorage-interface(7)`. Version 2.6.2 -- 1.7.10.4
