117
        <para>
118
          Creates a new instance on the specified host. The
119
          <replaceable>instance</replaceable> argument must be in DNS,
120
          but depending on the bridge/routing setup, need not be in
121
          the same network as the nodes in the cluster.
122
        </para>
123

    
124
        <para>
125
          The <option>disk</option> option specifies the parameters
126
          for the disks of the instance. The numbering of disks starts
127
          at zero, and at least one disk needs to be passed. For each
128
          disk, at least the size needs to be given, and optionally
129
          the access mode (read-only or the default of read-write) can
130
          also be specified.  The size is interpreted (when no unit is
131
          given) in mebibytes. You can also use one of the suffixes
132
          <literal>m</literal>, <literal>g</literal> or
133
          <literal>t</literal> to specificy the exact the units used;
134
          these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes.
135
        </para>
136

    
137
        <para>
138
          Alternatively, a single-disk instance can be created via the
139
          <option>-s</option> option which takes a single argument,
140
          the size of the disk. This is similar to the Ganeti 1.2
141
          version (but will only create one disk).
142
        </para>
143

    
144
        <para>
145
          The minimum disk specification is therefore
146
          <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G</userinput> (or <userinput>-s
147
          20G</userinput> when using the <option>-s</option> option),
148
          and a three-disk instance can be specified as
149
          <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G --disk 1:size=4G --disk
150
          2:size=100G</userinput>.
151
        </para>
152

    
153
        <para>
154
          The <option>--no-ip-check</option> skips the checks that are
155
          done to see if the instance's IP is not already alive
156
          (i.e. reachable from the master node).
157
        </para>
158

    
159
        <para>
160
          The <option>--no-name-check</option> skips the check for the
161
          instance name via the resolver (e.g. in DNS or /etc/hosts,
162
          depending on your setup). Since the name check is used to
163
          compute the IP address, if you pass this option you must
164
          also pass the <option>--no-ip-check</option> option.
165
        </para>
166

    
167
        <para>
168
          If you don't wat the instance to automatically start after
169
          creation, this is possible via the
170
          <option>--no-start</option> option. This will leave the
171
          instance down until a subsequent <command>gnt-instance
172
          start</command> command.
173
        </para>
174

    
175
        <para>
176
          The NICs of the instances can be specified via the
177
          <option>--net</option> option. By default, one NIC is
178
          created for the instance, with a random MAC, and set
179
          up according the the cluster level nic parameters.
180
          Each NIC can take these parameters (all optional):

                  differentiate between different routing tables/instance
211
                  groups (but the meaning is dependent on the network

                  script, see gnt-cluster(8) for more details)</simpara>

220
        <para>
221
          Alternatively, if no network is desired for the instance, you
222
          can prevent the default of one NIC with the
223
          <option>--no-nics</option> option.

636
          files are stored will consist of cluster-wide file storage directory
637

                  file. However, running I/O intensive applications in
655
                  your instance using the loop driver might result in
656
                  slowdowns.  Furthermore, if you use the loopback
657
                  driver consider increasing the maximum amount of
658
                  loopback devices (on most systems it's 8) using the
659
                  max_loop param.

          If the value of the option starts with the character
1245
          <constant>+</constant>, the new field(s) will be added to the
1246
          default list. This allows to quickly see the default list
1247
          plus a few other fields, instead of retyping the entire list
1248
          of fields.

1251
        <para>
1252
          There is a subtle grouping about the available output
1253
          fields: all fields except for <option>oper_state</option>,
1254
          <option>oper_ram</option> and <option>status</option> are
1255
          configuration value and not run-time values. So if you don't
1256
          select any of the these fields, the query will be satisfied
1257
          instantly from the cluster configuration, without having to
1258
          ask the remote nodes for the data. This can be helpful for
1259
          big clusters when you only want some data and it makes sense
1260
          to specify a reduced set of output fields.

          specify temporary hypervisor and backend parameters that can
1570
          be used to start an instance with modified parameters. They
1571
          can be useful for quick testing without having to modify an
1572
          instance back and forth, e.g.:
1573
          <screen>
1574
# gnt-instance start -H root_args="single" instance1
1575
# gnt-instance start -B memory=2048 instance2
1576
          </screen>
1577
          The first form will start the instance
1578
          <userinput>instance1</userinput> in single-user mode, and
1579
          the instance <userinput>instance2</userinput> with 2GB of
1580
          RAM (this time only, unless that is the actual instance
1581
          memory size already). Note that the values override the
1582
          instance parameters (and not extend them): an instance with
1583
          "root_args=ro" when started with <userinput>-H
1584
          root_args=single</userinput> will result in "single", not

          This command is a generalized form for replacing disks. It
1817
          is currently only valid for the mirrored (DRBD) disk
1818
          template.

1821
        <para>
1822
          The first form (when passing the <option>-p</option> option)
1823
          will replace the disks on the primary, while the second form
1824
          (when passing the <option>-s</option> option will replace
1825
          the disks on the secondary node. For these two cases (as the
1826
          node doesn't change), it is possible to only run the replace
1827
          for a subset of the disks, using the option
1828
          <option>--disks</option> which takes a list of
1829
          comma-delimited disk indices (zero-based),
1830
          e.g. <userinput>0,2</userinput> to replace only the first
1831
          and third disks.

1836
          <option>--iallocator</option> or the
1837
          <option>--new-secondary</option> option) is designed to
1838
          change secondary node of the instance.  Specifying
1839
          <option>--iallocator</option> makes the new secondary be
1840
          selected automatically by the specified allocator plugin,
1841
          otherwise the new secondary node will be the one chosen
1842
          manually via the <option>--new-secondary</option> option.

1844

    
1845
        <para>
1846
          The fourth form (when using <option>--auto</option>) will
1847
          automatically determine which disks of an instance are faulty and
1848
          replace them within the same node. The <option>--auto</option>
1849
          option works only when an instance has only faulty disks on
1850
          either the primary or secondary node; it doesn't work when
1851
          both sides have faulty disks.

          Failover will fail the instance over its secondary

          Normally the failover will check the consistency of the
2093
          disks before failing over the instance. If you are trying to
2094
          migrate instances off a dead node, this will fail. Use the
2095
          <option>--ignore-consistency</option> option for this
2096
          purpose. Note that this option can be dangerous as errors in
2097
          shutting down the instance will be ignored, resulting in
2098
          possibly having the instance running on two machines in
2099
          parallel (on disconnected DRBD drives).

          Migrate will move the instance to its secondary node without

2146

    
2147
        <para>
2148
          The migration command needs a perfectly healthy instance, as
2149
          we rely on the dual-master capability of drbd8 and the disks
2150
          of the instance are not allowed to be degraded.

2152

    
2153
        <para>
2154
          The <option>--non-live</option> option will switch (for the
2155
          hypervisors that support it) between a "fully live"
2156
          (i.e. the interruption is as minimal as possible) migration
2157
          and one in which the instance is frozen, its state saved and
2158
          transported to the remote node, and then resumed there. This
2159
          all depends on the hypervisor support for two different
2160
          methods. In any case, it is not an error to pass this
2161
          parameter (it will just be ignored if the hypervisor doesn't
2162
          support it).

2164

    
2165
        <para>
2166
          If the <option>--cleanup</option> option is passed, the
2167
          operation changes from migration to attempting recovery from
2168
          a failed previous migration. In this mode, ganeti checks if
2169
          the instance runs on the correct node (and updates its
2170
          configuration if not) and ensures the instances's disks are
2171
          configured correctly. In this mode, the
2172
          <option>--non-live</option> option is ignored.
