The ``-I (--iallocator)`` option specifies the instance allocator
621
plugin to use. If you pass in this option the allocator will select
622
nodes for this instance automatically, so you don't need to pass them
623
with the ``-n`` option. For more information please refer to the
624
instance allocator documentation.

The third form (when passing either the ``--iallocator`` or the
1286
``--new-secondary`` option) is designed to change secondary node of
1287
the instance. Specifying ``--iallocator`` makes the new secondary be
1288
selected automatically by the specified allocator plugin, otherwise
1289
the new secondary node will be the one chosen manually via the
1290
``--new-secondary`` option.
