gnt-os(8) Ganeti | Version @GANETI_VERSION@

===========================================

Name

----

gnt-os - Instance operating system administration

Synopsis

--------

**gnt-os** {command} [arguments...]

DESCRIPTION

-----------

The **gnt-os** is used for managing the list of available operating

system flavours for the instances in the Ganeti cluster.

COMMANDS

--------

LIST

~~~~

**list** [\--no-headers]

Gives the list of available/supported OS to use in the instances.

When creating the instance you can give the OS-name as an option.

Note that hidden or blacklisted OSes are not displayed by this

command, use **diagnose** for showing those.

DIAGNOSE

~~~~~~~~

**diagnose**

This command will help you see why an installed OS is not available

in the cluster. The **list** command shows only the OS-es that the

cluster sees available on all nodes. It could be that some OS is

missing from a node, or is only partially installed, and this

command will show the details of all the OSes and the reasons they

are or are not valid.

INFO

~~~~

**info**

This command will list detailed information about each OS available

in the cluster, including its validity status, the supported API

versions, the supported parameters (if any) and their

documentations, etc.

MODIFY

~~~~~~

| **modify** [\--submit] [\--print-job-id]

| [-H *HYPERVISOR*:option=*value*[,...]]

| [\--hidden=*yes|no*] [\--blacklisted=*yes|no*]

| {*OS*}

This command will allow you to modify OS parameters.

To modify the per-OS hypervisor parameters (which override the

global hypervisor parameters), you can run modify ``-H`` with the

same syntax as in **gnt-cluster init** to override default

hypervisor parameters of the cluster for specified *OS* argument.

To modify the hidden and blacklisted states of an OS, pass the options

``--hidden ``*yes|no*, or respectively ``--blacklisted ...``. The

'hidden' state means that an OS won't be listed by default in the OS

list, but is available for installation. The 'blacklisted' state means

that the OS is not listed and is also not allowed for new instance

creations (but can be used for reinstalling old instances).

Note: The given operating system doesn't have to exist. This allows

preseeding the settings for operating systems not yet known to

**gnt-os**.

See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common

options.
