1 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0.1 |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - added -H/-B startup parameters to gnt-instance, which will allow |
3 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | re-adding the start in single-user option (regression from 1.2) |
4 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - the watcher writes the instance status to a file, to allow |
5 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | monitoring to report the instance status (from the master) based on |
6 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | cached results of the watcher's queries; while this can get stale if |
7 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | the watcher is being locked due to other work on the cluster, this |
8 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | is still an improvement |
9 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - the watcher now also restarts the node daemon and the rapi daemon if |
10 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | they died |
11 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - fixed the watcher to handle full and drained queue cases |
12 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - hooks export more instance data in the environment, which helps if |
13 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | hook scripts need to take action based on the instance's properties |
14 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | (no longer need to query back into ganeti) |
15 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - instance failovers when the instance is stopped do not check for |
16 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | free RAM, so that failing over a stopped instance is possible in low |
17 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | memory situations |
18 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - rapi uses queries for tags instead of jobs (for less job traffic), |
19 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | and for cluster tags it won't talk to masterd at all but read them |
20 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | from ssconf |
21 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - a couple of error handling fixes in RAPI |
22 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - drbd handling: improved the error handling of inconsistent disks |
23 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | after resync to reduce the frequency of "there are some degraded |
24 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | disks for this instance" message |
25 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | - fixed a bug in live migration when DRBD doesn't want to reconnect |
26 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | (the error handling path called a wrong function name) |
27 | 0dea942c | Iustin Pop | |
28 | 7a8994d4 | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0.0 final |
29 | 7a8994d4 | Iustin Pop | - no changes from rc5 |
30 | 7a8994d4 | Iustin Pop | |
31 | b926bd98 | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0 release candidate 5 |
32 | b926bd98 | Iustin Pop | - fix a couple of bugs (validation, argument checks) |
33 | b926bd98 | Iustin Pop | - fix gnt-cluster getmaster on non-master nodes (regression) |
34 | b926bd98 | Iustin Pop | - some small improvements to RAPI and IAllocator |
35 | b926bd98 | Iustin Pop | - make watcher automatically start the master daemon if down |
36 | b926bd98 | Iustin Pop | |
37 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0 release candidate 4 |
38 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | - change the OS list to not require locks; this helps with big |
39 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | clusters |
40 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | - fix gnt-cluster verify and gnt-cluster verify-disks when the volume |
41 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | group is broken |
42 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | - “gnt-instance info”, without any arguments, doesn't run for all |
43 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | instances anymore; either pass ‘--all’ or pass the desired |
44 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | instances; this helps against mistakes on big clusters where listing |
45 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | the information for all instances takes a long time |
46 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | - miscellaneous doc and man pages fixes |
47 | d1908b41 | Iustin Pop | |
48 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0 release candidate 3 |
49 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | - Change the internal locking model of some gnt-node commands, in |
50 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | order to reduce contention (and blocking of master daemon) when |
51 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | batching many creation/reinstall jobs |
52 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | - Fixes to Xen soft reboot |
53 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | - No longer build documentation at 'make' time, instead distribute it |
54 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | in the archive, in order to reduce the need for the whole |
55 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | docbook/rst toolchains |
56 | 5bbefdec | Iustin Pop | |
57 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0 release candidate 2 |
58 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | - Now the cfgupgrade scripts works and can upgrade 1.2.7 clusters to |
59 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | 2.0 |
60 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | - Fix watcher startup sequence, improves the behaviour of busy |
61 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | clusters |
62 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | - Some other fixes in cluster verify, replace-disks, gnt-instance add, |
63 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | gnt-cluster queue, KVM VNC bind address and other places |
64 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | - Some documentation fixes and updates |
65 | f06d91f2 | Iustin Pop | |
66 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0 release candidate 1 |
67 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | - More documentation updates, now all docs should be more-or-less |
68 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | up-to-date |
69 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | - A couple of small fixes (mixed hypervisor clusters, offline nodes, |
70 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | etc.) |
71 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | - Added a customizable HV_KERNEL_ARGS hypervisor parameter (for Xen |
72 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | PVM and KVM) |
73 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | - Fix an issue related to $libdir/run/ganeti and cluster creation |
74 | a2370b24 | Iustin Pop | |
75 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0 beta 2 |
76 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | - Xen PVM and KVM have switched the default value for the instance |
77 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | root disk to the first partition on the first drive, instead of the |
78 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | whole drive; this means that the OS installation scripts must be |
79 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | changed accordingly |
80 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | - Man pages have been updated |
81 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | - RAPI has been switched by default to HTTPS, and the exported |
82 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | functions should all work correctly |
83 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | - RAPI v1 has been removed |
84 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | - Many improvements to the KVM hypervisor |
85 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | - Block device errors are now better reported |
86 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | - Many other bugfixes and small improvements |
87 | 2fb85b64 | Iustin Pop | |
88 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | Version 2.0 beta 1 |
89 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Version 2 is a general rewrite of the code and therefore the |
90 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | differences are too many to list, see the design document for 2.0 in |
91 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | the doc/ subdirectory for more details |
92 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - In this beta version there is not yet a migration path from 1.2 |
93 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | (there will be one in the final 2.0 release) |
94 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - A few significant changes are: |
95 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - all commands are executed by a daemon (ganeti-masterd) and the |
96 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | various gnt-* commands are just front-ends to it |
97 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - all the commands are entered into, and executed from a job queue, |
98 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | see gnt-job(8) |
99 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - the RAPI daemon supports read-write operations, secured by basic |
100 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | HTTP authentication on top of HTTPS |
101 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - DRBD version 0.7 support has been removed, DRBD 8 is the only |
102 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | supported version (when migrating from Ganeti 1.2 to 2.0, you need |
103 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | to migrate to DRBD 8 first while still running Ganeti 1.2) |
104 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - DRBD devices are using statically allocated minor numbers, which |
105 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | will be assigned to existing instances during the migration |
106 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | process |
107 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - there is support for both Xen PVM and Xen HVM instances running on |
108 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | the same cluster |
109 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - KVM virtualization is supported too |
110 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - file-based storage has been implemented, which means that it is |
111 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | possible to run the cluster without LVM and DRBD storage, for |
112 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | example using a shared filesystem exported from shared storage |
113 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | (and still have live migration) |
114 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | |
115 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | Version 1.2.7 |
116 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Change the default reboot type in gnt-instance reboot to "hard" |
117 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Reuse the old instance mac address by default on instance import, |
118 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | if the instance name is the same. |
119 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Handle situations in which the node info rpc returns incomplete results |
120 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | (issue 46) |
121 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Add checks for tcp/udp ports collisions in gnt-cluster verify |
122 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Improved version of batcher: |
123 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - state file support |
124 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - instance mac address support |
125 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - support for HVM clusters/instances |
126 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Add an option to show the number of cpu sockets and nodes in gnt-node list |
127 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Support OSes that handle more than one version of the OS api |
128 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | (but do not change the current API in any other way) |
129 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Fix gnt-node migrate |
130 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - gnt-debug man page |
131 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Fixes various more typos&small issues |
132 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Increase disk resync maximum speed to 60MB/s (from 30MB/s) |
133 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | |
134 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | Version 1.2.6 |
135 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - new --hvm-nic-type and --hvm-disk-type flags to control the type of disk |
136 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | exported to fully virtualized instances. |
137 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - provide access to the serial console of HVM instances |
138 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - instance auto_balance flag, set by default. If turned off it will avoid |
139 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | warnings on cluster verify if there is not enough memory to fail over an |
140 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | instance. in the future it will prevent automatically failing it over when |
141 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | we will support that. |
142 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - batcher tool for instance creation, see /tools/README.batcher |
143 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - gnt-instance reinstall --select-os to interactively select a new operating |
144 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | system when reinstalling an instance. |
145 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - when changing the memory amount on instance modify a check has been added |
146 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | that the instance will be able to start. also warnings are emitted if the |
147 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | instance will not be able to fail over, if auto_balance is true. |
148 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - documentation fixes |
149 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - sync fields between instance list/modify/add/import |
150 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - fix a race condition in drbd when the sync speed was set after giving the |
151 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | device a remote peer. |
152 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | |
153 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | Version 1.2.5 |
154 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - note: the allowed size and number of tags per object were reduced |
155 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - fix a bug in “gnt-cluster verify” with inconsistent volume groups |
156 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - fixed twisted 8.x compatibility |
157 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - fixed gnt-instance replace-disks with iallocator |
158 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - add TCP keepalives on twisted connections to detect restarted nodes |
159 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - disk increase support, see “gnt-instance grow-disk” |
160 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - implement bulk node/instance query for RAPI |
161 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - add tags in node/instance listing (optional) |
162 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - experimental migration (and live migration) support, read the man |
163 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | page for “gnt-instance migrate” |
164 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - the ganeti-watcher logs are now timestamped, and the watcher also |
165 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | has some small improvements in handling its state file |
166 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | |
167 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | Version 1.2.4 |
168 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Experimental readonly, REST-based remote API implementation; automatically |
169 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | started on master node, TCP port 5080, if enabled by --enable-rapi |
170 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | parameter to configure script. |
171 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - Instance allocator support. Add and import instance accept a --iallocator |
172 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | parameter, and call that instance allocator to decide which node to use for |
173 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | the instance. The iallocator document describes what's expected from an |
174 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | allocator script. |
175 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - gnt-cluster verify N+1 memory redundancy checks: Unless passed the |
176 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | --no-nplus1-mem option gnt-cluster verify now checks that if a node is lost |
177 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | there is still enough memory to fail over the instances that reside on it. |
178 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - gnt-cluster verify hooks: it is now possible to add post-hooks to |
179 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | gnt-cluster verify, to check for site-specific compliance. All the hooks |
180 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | will run, and their output, if any, will be displayed. Any failing hook |
181 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | will make the verification return an error value. |
182 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - gnt-cluster verify now checks that its peers are reachable on the primary |
183 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | and secondary interfaces |
184 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - gnt-node add now supports the --readd option, to readd a node that is still |
185 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | declared as part of the cluster and has failed. |
186 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - gnt-* list commands now accept a new -o +field way of specifying output |
187 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | fields, that just adds the chosen fields to the default ones. |
188 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - gnt-backup now has a new "remove" command to delete an existing export from |
189 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | the filesystem. |
190 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - New per-instance parameters hvm_acpi, hvm_pae and hvm_cdrom_image_path have |
191 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | been added. Using them you can enable/disable acpi and pae support, and |
192 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | specify a path for a cd image to be exported to the instance. These |
193 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | parameters as the name suggest only work on HVM clusters. |
194 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - When upgrading an HVM cluster to Ganeti 1.2.4, the values for ACPI and PAE |
195 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | support will be set to the previously hardcoded values, but the (previously |
196 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | hardcoded) path to the CDROM ISO image will be unset and if required, needs |
197 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | to be set manually with gnt-instance modify after the upgrade.. |
198 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | - The address to which an instance's VNC console is bound is now selectable |
199 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | per-instance, rather than being cluster wide. Of course this only applies |
200 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | to instances controlled via VNC, so currently just applies to HVM clusters. |
201 | 10f31783 | Iustin Pop | |
202 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | Version 1.2.3 |
203 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | - more tweaks to the disk activation code (especially helpful for DRBD) |
204 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | - change the default ‘gnt-instance list’ output format, now there is |
205 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | one combined status field (see the manpage for the exact values this |
206 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | field will have) |
207 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | - some more fixes for the mac export to hooks change |
208 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | - make Ganeti not break with DRBD 8.2.x (which changed the version |
209 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | format in /proc/drbd) (issue 24) |
210 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | - add an upgrade tool from ‘remote_raid1’ disk template to ‘drbd’ disk |
211 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | template, allowing migration from DRBD0.7+MD to DRBD8 |
212 | bae27f68 | Iustin Pop | |
213 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | Version 1.2.2 |
214 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | - fix ‘gnt-instance modify’ breakage introduced in 1.2.1 with the HVM |
215 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | support (issue 23) |
216 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | - add command aliases infrastructure and a few aliases |
217 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | - allow listing of VCPUs in the gnt-instance list and improve the man |
218 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | pages and the --help option of gnt-node/gnt-instance list |
219 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | - fix gnt-backup list with down nodes (issue 21) |
220 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | - change the tools location (move from $pkgdatadir to |
221 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | $pkglibdir/tools) |
222 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | - fix the dist archive and add a check for including svn/git files in |
223 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | the future |
224 | e709baee | Iustin Pop | - some developer-related changes: improve the burnin and the QA |

229 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | "Initializing the cluster" |
230 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | - allow for the PVM hypervisor per-instance kernel and initrd paths |
231 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | - add a new command ‘gnt-cluster verify-disks’ which uses a new |
232 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | algorithm to improve the reconnection of the DRBD pairs if the |
233 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | device on the secondary node has gone away |
234 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | - make logical volume code auto-activate LVs at disk activation time |
235 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | - slightly improve the speed of activating disks |
236 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | - allow specification of the MAC address at instance creation time, |
237 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | and changing it later via ‘gnt-instance modify’ |
238 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | - fix handling of external commands that generate lots of output on |
239 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | stderr |
240 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | - update documentation with regard to minimum version of DRBD8 |
241 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | supported |
242 | 31b9055c | Iustin Pop | |
243 | ce628bb4 | Iustin Pop | Version 1.2.0 |
244 | ce628bb4 | Iustin Pop | - Log the ‘xm create’ output to the node daemon log on failure (to |
245 | ce628bb4 | Iustin Pop | help diagnosing the error) |
