        <para>
123
          Creates a new instance on the specified host. The
124
          <replaceable>instance</replaceable> argument must be in DNS,
125
          but depending on the bridge/routing setup, need not be in
126
          the same network as the nodes in the cluster.
127
        </para>
128

    
129
        <para>
130
          The <option>disk</option> option specifies the parameters
131
          for the disks of the instance. The numbering of disks starts
132
          at zero, and at least one disk needs to be passed. For each
133
          disk, either the size or the adoption source needs to be
134
          given, and optionally the access mode (read-only or the
135
          default of read-write) can also be specified.  The size is
136
          interpreted (when no unit is given) in mebibytes. You can
137
          also use one of the suffixes
138
          <literal>m</literal>, <literal>g</literal> or
139
          <literal>t</literal> to specificy the exact the units used;
140
          these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes.
141
        </para>
142

    
143
        <para>
144
          When using the <option>adopt</option> key in the disk
145
          definition, Ganeti will reuse those volumes (instead of
146
          creating new ones) as the instance's disks. Ganeti will
147
          rename these volumes to the standard format, and (without
148
          installing the OS) will use them as-is for the
149
          instance. This allows migrating instances from non-managed
150
          mode (e.q. plain KVM with LVM) to being managed via
151
          Ganeti. Note that this works only for the `plain' disk
152
          template (see below for template details).
153
        </para>
154

    
155
        <para>
156
          Alternatively, a single-disk instance can be created via the
157
          <option>-s</option> option which takes a single argument,
158
          the size of the disk. This is similar to the Ganeti 1.2
159
          version (but will only create one disk).
160
        </para>
161

    
162
        <para>
163
          The minimum disk specification is therefore
164
          <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G</userinput> (or <userinput>-s
165
          20G</userinput> when using the <option>-s</option> option),
166
          and a three-disk instance can be specified as
167
          <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G --disk 1:size=4G --disk
168
          2:size=100G</userinput>.
169
        </para>
170

    
171
        <para>
172
          The <option>--no-ip-check</option> skips the checks that are
173
          done to see if the instance's IP is not already alive
174
          (i.e. reachable from the master node).
175
        </para>
176

    
177
        <para>
178
          The <option>--no-name-check</option> skips the check for the
179
          instance name via the resolver (e.g. in DNS or /etc/hosts,
180
          depending on your setup). Since the name check is used to
181
          compute the IP address, if you pass this option you must
182
          also pass the <option>--no-ip-check</option> option.
183
        </para>
184

    
185
        <para>
186
          If you don't wat the instance to automatically start after
187
          creation, this is possible via the
188
          <option>--no-start</option> option. This will leave the
189
          instance down until a subsequent <command>gnt-instance
190
          start</command> command.
191
        </para>
192

    
193
        <para>
194
          The NICs of the instances can be specified via the
195
          <option>--net</option> option. By default, one NIC is
196
          created for the instance, with a random MAC, and set
197
          up according the the cluster level nic parameters.
198
          Each NIC can take these parameters (all optional):

                  this NIC to, in routed mode it's intended to
228
                  differentiate between different routing tables/instance
229
                  groups (but the meaning is dependent on the network
230
                  script, see gnt-cluster(8) for more details)</simpara>

237

    
238
        <para>
239
          Alternatively, if no network is desired for the instance, you
240
          can prevent the default of one NIC with the
241
          <option>--no-nics</option> option.

          The <option>-o</option> options specifies the operating

          system to be installed. The available operating systems can
247
          be listed with <command>gnt-os
248
          list</command>. Passing <option>--no-install</option> will
249
          however skip the OS installation, allowing a manual import
250
          if so desired. Note that the no-installation mode will
251
          automatically disable the start-up of the instance (without
252
          an OS, it most likely won't be able to start-up
253
          successfully).

        <para>

          The <option>-B</option> option specifies the backend

          allocator plugin to use. If you pass in this option the allocator
654
          will select nodes for this instance automatically, so you don't need

          disks. It is useful for having different subdirectories for
711
          different instances. The full path of the directory where the disk
712
          files are stored will consist of cluster-wide file storage directory
713
          + optional subdirectory + instance name. Example:

                  Kernel loopback driver. This driver uses loopback
729
                  devices to access the filesystem within the
730
                  file. However, running I/O intensive applications in
731
                  your instance using the loop driver might result in
732
                  slowdowns.  Furthermore, if you use the loopback
733
                  driver consider increasing the maximum amount of
734
                  loopback devices (on most systems it's 8) using the
735
                  max_loop param.

743
                order to be able to use the blktap driver you should

                check if the 'blktapctrl' user space disk agent is
745
                running (usually automatically started via xend). This
746
                user-level disk I/O interface has the advantage of
747
                better performance. Especially if you use a network
748
                file system (e.g. NFS) to store your instances this is
749
                the recommended choice.

          Remove an instance. This will remove all data from the
941
          instance and there is <emphasis>no way back</emphasis>. If
942
          you are not sure if you use an instance again, use
943
          <command>shutdown</command> first and leave it in the
944
          shutdown state for a while.

          The <option>--ignore-failures</option> option will cause the
950
          removal to proceed even in the presence of errors during the
951
          removal of the instance (e.g. during the shutdown or the
952
          disk removal). If this option is not given, the command will
953
          stop at the first error.

957
          The <option>--shutdown-timeout</option> is used to specify how
958
          much time to wait before forcing the shutdown (xm destroy in xen,
959
          killing the kvm process, for kvm). By default two minutes are
960
          given to each instance to stop.

          ID will be shown so that it can be examined via

          If the value of the option starts with the character
1321
          <constant>+</constant>, the new field(s) will be added to the
1322
          default list. This allows to quickly see the default list
1323

          There is a subtle grouping about the available output
1329
          fields: all fields except for <option>oper_state</option>,
1330
          <option>oper_ram</option> and <option>status</option> are
1331
          configuration value and not run-time values. So if you don't
1332
          select any of the these fields, the query will be satisfied
1333
          instantly from the cluster configuration, without having to
1334
          ask the remote nodes for the data. This can be helpful for
1335
          big clusters when you only want some data and it makes sense
1336
          to specify a reduced set of output fields.

          Renames the given instance. The instance must be stopped
1558
          when running this command. The requirements for the new name
1559
          are the same as for adding an instance: the new name must be
1560
          resolvable and the IP it resolves to must not be reachable
1561
          (in order to prevent duplicate IPs the next time the
1562
          instance is started). The IP test can be skipped if the

1705
          specify temporary hypervisor and backend parameters that can
1706
          be used to start an instance with modified parameters. They
1707
          can be useful for quick testing without having to modify an
1708
          instance back and forth, e.g.:
1709
          <screen>
1710
# gnt-instance start -H root_args="single" instance1
1711
# gnt-instance start -B memory=2048 instance2
1712
          </screen>
1713
          The first form will start the instance
1714
          <userinput>instance1</userinput> in single-user mode, and
1715
          the instance <userinput>instance2</userinput> with 2GB of
1716
          RAM (this time only, unless that is the actual instance
1717
          memory size already). Note that the values override the
1718
          instance parameters (and not extend them): an instance with
1719
          "root_args=ro" when started with <userinput>-H
1720
          root_args=single</userinput> will result in "single", not
1721
          "ro single".

          Reboots one or more instances. The type of reboot depends on

1846
          recreates the hypervisor config for the instance and

          This command is a generalized form for replacing disks. It
1969
          is currently only valid for the mirrored (DRBD) disk
1970
          template.
1971
        </para>
1972

    
1973
        <para>
1974
          The first form (when passing the <option>-p</option> option)
1975
          will replace the disks on the primary, while the second form
1976
          (when passing the <option>-s</option> option will replace
1977
          the disks on the secondary node. For these two cases (as the
1978
          node doesn't change), it is possible to only run the replace
1979
          for a subset of the disks, using the option
1980
          <option>--disks</option> which takes a list of
1981
          comma-delimited disk indices (zero-based),
1982
          e.g. <userinput>0,2</userinput> to replace only the first
1983
          and third disks.

1985

    
1986

1987
          The third form (when passing either the
1988
          <option>--iallocator</option> or the
1989
          <option>--new-secondary</option> option) is designed to
1990
          change secondary node of the instance.  Specifying
1991
          <option>--iallocator</option> makes the new secondary be
1992
          selected automatically by the specified allocator plugin,
1993
          otherwise the new secondary node will be the one chosen
1994
          manually via the <option>--new-secondary</option> option.

1996

    
1997
        <para>
1998
          The fourth form (when using <option>--auto</option>) will
1999
          automatically determine which disks of an instance are faulty and
2000
          replace them within the same node. The <option>--auto</option>
2001
          option works only when an instance has only faulty disks on
2002
          either the primary or secondary node; it doesn't work when
2003
          both sides have faulty disks.

2014
          The <option>--early-release</option> changes the code so
2015
          that the old storage on secondary node(s) is removed early
2016
          (before the resync is completed) and the internal Ganeti
2017
          locks for the current (and new, if any) secondary node are
2018
          also released, thus allowing more parallelism in the cluster
2019
          operation. This should be used only when recovering from a
2020
          disk failure on the current secondary (thus the old storage
2021
          is already broken) or when the storage on the primary node
2022
          is known to be fine (thus we won't need the old storage for
2023
          potential recovery).

          Recreates the disks of the given instance, or only a subset
2211
          of the disks (if the option <option>disks</option> is
2212
          passed, which must be a comma-separated list of disk
2213
          indices, starting from zero).

          Note that this functionality should only be used for missing
2218
          disks; if any of the given disks already exists, the
2219
          operation will fail. While this is suboptimal,
2220
          recreate-disks should hopefully not be needed in normal
2221
          operation and as such the impact of this is low.

        <para>
2251
          Failover will fail the instance over its secondary
2252
          node. This works only for instances having a drbd disk
2253
          template.
2254
        </para>
2255

    
2256
        <para>
2257
          Normally the failover will check the consistency of the
2258
          disks before failing over the instance. If you are trying to
2259
          migrate instances off a dead node, this will fail. Use the
2260
          <option>--ignore-consistency</option> option for this
2261
          purpose. Note that this option can be dangerous as errors in
2262
          shutting down the instance will be ignored, resulting in
2263
          possibly having the instance running on two machines in
2264
          parallel (on disconnected DRBD drives).

        <para>
2268
          The <option>--shutdown-timeout</option> is used to specify how
2269
          much time to wait before forcing the shutdown (xm destroy in xen,
2270
          killing the kvm process, for kvm). By default two minutes are
2271
          given to each instance to stop.

        <para>
2307
          Migrate will move the instance to its secondary node without
2308
          shutdown. It only works for instances having the drbd8 disk
2309
          template type.
2310
        </para>
2311

    
2312
        <para>
2313
          The migration command needs a perfectly healthy instance, as
2314
          we rely on the dual-master capability of drbd8 and the disks
2315
          of the instance are not allowed to be degraded.
2316
        </para>
2317

    
2318
        <para>
2319
          The <option>--non-live</option> option will switch (for the
2320
          hypervisors that support it) between a "fully live"
2321
          (i.e. the interruption is as minimal as possible) migration
2322
          and one in which the instance is frozen, its state saved and
2323
          transported to the remote node, and then resumed there. This
2324
          all depends on the hypervisor support for two different
2325
          methods. In any case, it is not an error to pass this
2326
          parameter (it will just be ignored if the hypervisor doesn't
2327
          support it).
2328
        </para>
2329

    
2330
        <para>
2331
          If the <option>--cleanup</option> option is passed, the
2332
          operation changes from migration to attempting recovery from
2333
          a failed previous migration. In this mode, ganeti checks if
2334
          the instance runs on the correct node (and updates its
2335
          configuration if not) and ensures the instances's disks are
2336
          configured correctly. In this mode, the
2337
          <option>--non-live</option> option is ignored.
2338
        </para>
2339

    
2340
        <para>
2341
          The option <option>-f</option> will skip the prompting for
2342
          confirmation.

          Example (and expected output):

2347
# gnt-instance migrate instance1
2348
Migrate will happen to the instance instance1. Note that migration is
2349
**experimental** in this version. This might impact the instance if
2350
anything goes wrong. Continue?
