43 |
| {*instance*} |
44 |
|
45 |
Creates a new instance on the specified host. The *instance* argument |
46 |
must be in DNS, but depending on the bridge/routing setup, need not be |
47 |
in the same network as the nodes in the cluster. |
48 |
|
49 |
The ``disk`` option specifies the parameters for the disks of the |
50 |
instance. The numbering of disks starts at zero, and at least one disk |
51 |
needs to be passed. For each disk, either the size or the adoption |
52 |
source needs to be given, and optionally the access mode (read-only or |
53 |
the default of read-write) and the LVM volume group can also be |
54 |
specified (via the ``vg`` key). For DRBD devices, a different VG can |
55 |
be specified for the metadata device using the ``metavg`` key. The |
56 |
size is interpreted (when no unit is given) in mebibytes. You can also |
57 |
use one of the suffixes *m*, *g* or *t* to specify the exact the units |
58 |
used; these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes. |
59 |
|
60 |
When using the ``adopt`` key in the disk definition, Ganeti will |
61 |
reuse those volumes (instead of creating new ones) as the |
62 |
instance's disks. Ganeti will rename these volumes to the standard |
63 |
format, and (without installing the OS) will use them as-is for the |
64 |
instance. This allows migrating instances from non-managed mode |
65 |
(e.g. plain KVM with LVM) to being managed via Ganeti. Please note that |
66 |
this works only for the \`plain' disk template (see below for |
67 |
template details). |
68 |
|
69 |
Alternatively, a single-disk instance can be created via the ``-s`` |
70 |
option which takes a single argument, the size of the disk. This is |
71 |
similar to the Ganeti 1.2 version (but will only create one disk). |
72 |
|
73 |
The minimum disk specification is therefore ``--disk 0:size=20G`` (or |
74 |
``-s 20G`` when using the ``-s`` option), and a three-disk instance |
75 |
can be specified as ``--disk 0:size=20G --disk 1:size=4G --disk |
76 |
2:size=100G``. |
77 |
|
78 |
The ``--no-ip-check`` skips the checks that are done to see if the |
79 |
instance's IP is not already alive (i.e. reachable from the master |
80 |
node). |
81 |
|
82 |
The ``--no-name-check`` skips the check for the instance name via |
83 |
the resolver (e.g. in DNS or /etc/hosts, depending on your setup). |
84 |
Since the name check is used to compute the IP address, if you pass |
85 |
this option you must also pass the ``--no-ip-check`` option. |
86 |
|
87 |
If you don't want the instance to automatically start after |
88 |
creation, this is possible via the ``--no-start`` option. This will |
89 |
leave the instance down until a subsequent **gnt-instance start** |
90 |
command. |
91 |
|
92 |
The NICs of the instances can be specified via the ``--net`` |
93 |
option. By default, one NIC is created for the instance, with a |
94 |
random MAC, and set up according the the cluster level nic |
95 |
parameters. Each NIC can take these parameters (all optional): |
96 |
|
97 |
mac |
98 |
either a value or 'generate' to generate a new unique MAC |
99 |
|
100 |
ip |
101 |
specifies the IP address assigned to the instance from the Ganeti |
102 |
side (this is not necessarily what the instance will use, but what |
103 |
the node expects the instance to use) |
104 |
|
105 |
mode |
106 |
specifies the connection mode for this nic: routed, bridged or |
107 |
openvswitch. |
108 |
|
109 |
link |
110 |
in bridged or openvswitch mode specifies the interface to attach |
111 |
this NIC to, in routed mode it's intended to differentiate between |
112 |
different routing tables/instance groups (but the meaning is |
113 |
dependent on the network script, see **gnt-cluster**\(8) for more |
114 |
details). Note that openvswitch support is also hypervisor |
115 |
dependent. |
116 |
|
117 |
|
118 |
Of these "mode" and "link" are nic parameters, and inherit their |
119 |
default at cluster level. Alternatively, if no network is desired for |
120 |
the instance, you can prevent the default of one NIC with the |
121 |
``--no-nics`` option. |
122 |
|
123 |
The ``-o (--os-type)`` option specifies the operating system to be |
124 |
installed. The available operating systems can be listed with |
125 |
**gnt-os list**. Passing ``--no-install`` will however skip the OS |
126 |
installation, allowing a manual import if so desired. Note that the |
127 |
no-installation mode will automatically disable the start-up of the |
128 |
instance (without an OS, it most likely won't be able to start-up |
129 |
successfully). |
130 |
|
131 |
The ``-B (--backend-parameters)`` option specifies the backend |
132 |
parameters for the instance. If no such parameters are specified, the |
133 |
values are inherited from the cluster. Possible parameters are: |
134 |
|
135 |
maxmem |
136 |
the maximum memory size of the instance; as usual, suffixes can be |
137 |
used to denote the unit, otherwise the value is taken in mebibytes |
138 |
|
139 |
minmem |
140 |
the minimum memory size of the instance; as usual, suffixes can be |
141 |
used to denote the unit, otherwise the value is taken in mebibytes |
142 |
|
143 |
vcpus |
144 |
the number of VCPUs to assign to the instance (if this value makes |
145 |
sense for the hypervisor) |
146 |
|
147 |
auto\_balance |
148 |
whether the instance is considered in the N+1 cluster checks |
149 |
(enough redundancy in the cluster to survive a node failure) |
150 |
|
151 |
always\_failover |
152 |
``True`` or ``False``, whether the instance must be failed over |
153 |
(shut down and rebooted) always or it may be migrated (briefly |
154 |
suspended) |
155 |
|
156 |
Note that before 2.6 Ganeti had a ``memory`` parameter, which was the |
157 |
only value of memory an instance could have. With the |
158 |
``maxmem``/``minmem`` change Ganeti guarantees that at least the minimum |
159 |
memory is always available for an instance, but allows more memory to be |
160 |
used (up to the maximum memory) should it be free. |
161 |
|
162 |
The ``-H (--hypervisor-parameters)`` option specified the hypervisor |
163 |
to use for the instance (must be one of the enabled hypervisors on the |
164 |
cluster) and optionally custom parameters for this instance. If not |
165 |
other options are used (i.e. the invocation is just -H *NAME*) the |
166 |
instance will inherit the cluster options. The defaults below show the |
167 |
cluster defaults at cluster creation time. |
168 |
|
169 |
The possible hypervisor options are as follows: |
170 |
|
171 |
boot\_order |
172 |
Valid for the Xen HVM and KVM hypervisors. |
173 |
|
174 |
A string value denoting the boot order. This has different meaning |
175 |
for the Xen HVM hypervisor and for the KVM one. |
176 |
|
177 |
For Xen HVM, The boot order is a string of letters listing the boot |
178 |
devices, with valid device letters being: |
179 |
|
180 |
a |
181 |
floppy drive |
182 |
|
183 |
c |
184 |
hard disk |
185 |
|
186 |
d |
187 |
CDROM drive |
188 |
|
189 |
n |
190 |
network boot (PXE) |
191 |
|
192 |
The default is not to set an HVM boot order, which is interpreted |
193 |
as 'dc'. |
194 |
|
195 |
For KVM the boot order is either "floppy", "cdrom", "disk" or |
196 |
"network". Please note that older versions of KVM couldn't netboot |
197 |
from virtio interfaces. This has been fixed in more recent versions |
198 |
and is confirmed to work at least with qemu-kvm 0.11.1. Also note |
199 |
that if you have set the ``kernel_path`` option, that will be used |
200 |
for booting, and this setting will be silently ignored. |
201 |
|
202 |
blockdev\_prefix |
203 |
Valid for the Xen HVM and PVM hypervisors. |
204 |
|
205 |
Relevant to non-pvops guest kernels, in which the disk device names |
206 |
are given by the host. Allows one to specify 'xvd', which helps run |
207 |
Red Hat based installers, driven by anaconda. |
208 |
|
209 |
floppy\_image\_path |
210 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
211 |
|
212 |
The path to a floppy disk image to attach to the instance. This |
213 |
is useful to install Windows operating systems on Virt/IO disks |
214 |
because you can specify here the floppy for the drivers at |
215 |
installation time. |
216 |
|
217 |
cdrom\_image\_path |
218 |
Valid for the Xen HVM and KVM hypervisors. |
219 |

224 |
|
225 |
The path to a second CDROM image to attach to the instance. |
226 |
**NOTE**: This image can't be used to boot the system. To do that |
227 |
you have to use the 'cdrom\_image\_path' option. |
228 |
|
229 |
nic\_type |
230 |
Valid for the Xen HVM and KVM hypervisors. |
231 |

cdrom\_disk\_type |
260 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
261 |
|
262 |
This parameter determines the way the cdroms disks are presented |
263 |
to the instance. The default behavior is to get the same value of |
264 |
the earlier parameter (disk_type). The possible options are: |
265 |
|
266 |
- paravirtual |
267 |

276 |
|
277 |
Specifies the address that the VNC listener for this instance |
278 |
should bind to. Valid values are IPv4 addresses. Use the address |
279 |
0.0.0.0 to bind to all available interfaces (this is the default) |
280 |
or specify the address of one of the interfaces on the node to |
281 |
restrict listening to that interface. |

297 |
|
298 |
spice\_bind |
299 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
300 |

301 |
Specifies the address or interface on which the SPICE server will |
302 |
listen. Valid values are: |
303 |
|
304 |
- IPv4 addresses, including 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 |
305 |
- IPv6 addresses, including :: and ::1 |
306 |
- names of network interfaces |
307 |
|
308 |
If a network interface is specified, the SPICE server will be bound |
309 |
to one of the addresses of that interface. |
310 |
|
311 |
spice\_ip\_version |
312 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
313 |
|
314 |
Specifies which version of the IP protocol should be used by the |
315 |
SPICE server. |
316 |
|
317 |
It is mainly intended to be used for specifying what kind of IP |
318 |
addresses should be used if a network interface with both IPv4 and |
319 |
IPv6 addresses is specified via the ``spice_bind`` parameter. In |
320 |
this case, if the ``spice_ip_version`` parameter is not used, the |
321 |
default IP version of the cluster will be used. |
322 |
|
323 |
spice\_password\_file |
324 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
325 |
|
326 |
Specifies a file containing the password that must be used when |
327 |
connecting via the SPICE protocol. If the option is not specified, |
328 |
passwordless connections are allowed. |

374 |
Configures whether SPICE should compress audio streams or not. |
375 |
|
376 |
spice\_use\_tls |
377 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
378 |
|
379 |
Specifies that the SPICE server must use TLS to encrypt all the |
380 |
traffic with the client. |
381 |
|
382 |
spice\_tls\_ciphers |
383 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
384 |
|
385 |
Specifies a list of comma-separated ciphers that SPICE should use |
386 |
for TLS connections. For the format, see man **cipher**\(1). |
387 |
|
388 |
spice\_use\_vdagent |
389 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
390 |
|
391 |
Enables or disables passing mouse events via SPICE vdagent. |
392 |
|
393 |
cpu\_type |
394 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
395 |
|
396 |
This parameter determines the emulated cpu for the instance. If this |
397 |
parameter is empty (which is the default configuration), it will not |
398 |
be passed to KVM. |
399 |
|
400 |
Be aware of setting this parameter to ``"host"`` if you have nodes |
401 |
with different CPUs from each other. Live migration may stop working |
402 |
in this situation. |
403 |
|
404 |
For more information please refer to the KVM manual. |
405 |
|
406 |
acpi |
407 |
Valid for the Xen HVM and KVM hypervisors. |
408 |
|
409 |
A boolean option that specifies if the hypervisor should enable |
410 |
ACPI support for this instance. By default, ACPI is disabled. |
411 |
|
412 |
pae |
413 |
Valid for the Xen HVM and KVM hypervisors. |
414 |
|
415 |
A boolean option that specifies if the hypervisor should enabled |
416 |
PAE support for this instance. The default is false, disabling PAE |
417 |
support. |
418 |
|
419 |
use\_localtime |
420 |
Valid for the Xen HVM and KVM hypervisors. |
421 |
|
422 |
A boolean option that specifies if the instance should be started |
423 |
with its clock set to the localtime of the machine (when true) or |
424 |
to the UTC (When false). The default is false, which is useful for |
425 |
Linux/Unix machines; for Windows OSes, it is recommended to enable |
426 |
this parameter. |
427 |
|
428 |
kernel\_path |
429 |
Valid for the Xen PVM and KVM hypervisors. |
430 |
|
431 |
This option specifies the path (on the node) to the kernel to boot |
432 |
the instance with. Xen PVM instances always require this, while for |
433 |
KVM if this option is empty, it will cause the machine to load the |
434 |
kernel from its disks (and the boot will be done accordingly to |
435 |
``boot_order``). |
436 |
|
437 |
kernel\_args |
438 |
Valid for the Xen PVM and KVM hypervisors. |
439 |
|
440 |
This options specifies extra arguments to the kernel that will be |
441 |
loaded. device. This is always used for Xen PVM, while for KVM it |
442 |
is only used if the ``kernel_path`` option is also specified. |
443 |
|
444 |
The default setting for this value is simply ``"ro"``, which |
445 |
mounts the root disk (initially) in read-only one. For example, |
446 |
setting this to single will cause the instance to start in |
447 |
single-user mode. |
448 |
|
449 |
initrd\_path |
450 |
Valid for the Xen PVM and KVM hypervisors. |
451 |
|
452 |
This option specifies the path (on the node) to the initrd to boot |
453 |
the instance with. Xen PVM instances can use this always, while |
454 |
for KVM if this option is only used if the ``kernel_path`` option |
455 |
is also specified. You can pass here either an absolute filename |
456 |
(the path to the initrd) if you want to use an initrd, or use the |
457 |
format no\_initrd\_path for no initrd. |
458 |
|
459 |
root\_path |
460 |
Valid for the Xen PVM and KVM hypervisors. |
461 |
|
462 |
This options specifies the name of the root device. This is always |
463 |
needed for Xen PVM, while for KVM it is only used if the |
464 |
``kernel_path`` option is also specified. |
465 |
|
466 |
Please note, that if this setting is an empty string and the |
467 |
hypervisor is Xen it will not be written to the Xen configuration |
468 |
file |
469 |
|
470 |
serial\_console |
471 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
472 |
|
473 |
This boolean option specifies whether to emulate a serial console |
474 |
for the instance. |
475 |
|
476 |
disk\_cache |
477 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
478 |
|
479 |
The disk cache mode. It can be either default to not pass any |
480 |
cache option to KVM, or one of the KVM cache modes: none (for |
481 |
direct I/O), writethrough (to use the host cache but report |
482 |
completion to the guest only when the host has committed the |
483 |
changes to disk) or writeback (to use the host cache and report |
484 |
completion as soon as the data is in the host cache). Note that |
485 |
there are special considerations for the cache mode depending on |
486 |
version of KVM used and disk type (always raw file under Ganeti), |
487 |
please refer to the KVM documentation for more details. |
488 |
|
489 |
security\_model |
490 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
491 |
|
492 |
The security model for kvm. Currently one of *none*, *user* or |
493 |
*pool*. Under *none*, the default, nothing is done and instances |
494 |
are run as the Ganeti daemon user (normally root). |
495 |
|
496 |
Under *user* kvm will drop privileges and become the user |
497 |
specified by the security\_domain parameter. |
498 |
|
499 |
Under *pool* a global cluster pool of users will be used, making |
500 |
sure no two instances share the same user on the same node. (this |
501 |
mode is not implemented yet) |
502 |
|
503 |
security\_domain |
504 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
505 |
|
506 |
Under security model *user* the username to run the instance |
507 |
under. It must be a valid username existing on the host. |
508 |
|
509 |
Cannot be set under security model *none* or *pool*. |
510 |
|
511 |
kvm\_flag |
512 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
513 |
|
514 |
If *enabled* the -enable-kvm flag is passed to kvm. If *disabled* |
515 |
-disable-kvm is passed. If unset no flag is passed, and the |
516 |
default running mode for your kvm binary will be used. |
517 |
|
518 |
mem\_path |
519 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
520 |
|
521 |
This option passes the -mem-path argument to kvm with the path (on |
522 |
the node) to the mount point of the hugetlbfs file system, along |
523 |
with the -mem-prealloc argument too. |
524 |
|
525 |
use\_chroot |
526 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
527 |
|
528 |
This boolean option determines whether to run the KVM instance in a |
529 |
chroot directory. |
530 |
|
531 |
If it is set to ``true``, an empty directory is created before |
532 |
starting the instance and its path is passed via the -chroot flag |
533 |
to kvm. The directory is removed when the instance is stopped. |
534 |
|
535 |
It is set to ``false`` by default. |
536 |
|
537 |
migration\_downtime |
538 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
539 |
|
540 |
The maximum amount of time (in ms) a KVM instance is allowed to be |
541 |
frozen during a live migration, in order to copy dirty memory |
542 |
pages. Default value is 30ms, but you may need to increase this |
543 |
value for busy instances. |
544 |
|
545 |
This option is only effective with kvm versions >= 87 and qemu-kvm |
546 |
versions >= 0.11.0. |
547 |
|
548 |
cpu\_mask |
549 |
Valid for the Xen, KVM and LXC hypervisors. |
550 |
|
551 |
The processes belonging to the given instance are only scheduled |
552 |
on the specified CPUs. |
553 |
|
554 |
The format of the mask can be given in three forms. First, the word |
555 |
"all", which signifies the common case where all VCPUs can live on |
556 |
any CPU, based on the hypervisor's decisions. |
557 |
|
558 |
Second, a comma-separated list of CPU IDs or CPU ID ranges. The |
559 |
ranges are defined by a lower and higher boundary, separated by a |
560 |
dash, and the boundaries are inclusive. In this form, all VCPUs of |
561 |
the instance will be mapped on the selected list of CPUs. Example: |
562 |
``0-2,5``, mapping all VCPUs (no matter how many) onto physical CPUs |
563 |
0, 1, 2 and 5. |
564 |
|
565 |
The last form is used for explicit control of VCPU-CPU pinnings. In |
566 |
this form, the list of VCPU mappings is given as a colon (:) |
567 |
separated list, whose elements are the possible values for the |
568 |
second or first form above. In this form, the number of elements in |
569 |
the colon-separated list _must_ equal the number of VCPUs of the |
570 |
instance. |
571 |
|
572 |
Example: |
573 |
|
574 |
.. code-block:: bash |
575 |
|
576 |
# Map the entire instance to CPUs 0-2 |
577 |
gnt-instance modify -H cpu_mask=0-2 my-inst |
578 |
|
579 |
# Map vCPU 0 to physical CPU 1 and vCPU 1 to CPU 3 (assuming 2 vCPUs) |
580 |
gnt-instance modify -H cpu_mask=1:3 my-inst |
581 |
|
582 |
# Pin vCPU 0 to CPUs 1 or 2, and vCPU 1 to any CPU |
583 |
gnt-instance modify -H cpu_mask=1-2:all my-inst |
584 |
|
585 |
# Pin vCPU 0 to any CPU, vCPU 1 to CPUs 1, 3, 4 or 5, and CPU 2 to |
586 |
# CPU 0 (backslashes for escaping the comma) |
587 |
gnt-instance modify -H cpu_mask=all:1\\,3-5:0 my-inst |
588 |
|
589 |
# Pin entire VM to CPU 0 |
590 |
gnt-instance modify -H cpu_mask=0 my-inst |
591 |
|
592 |
# Turn off CPU pinning (default setting) |
593 |
gnt-instance modify -H cpu_mask=all my-inst |
594 |
|
595 |
cpu\_cap |
596 |
Valid for the Xen hypervisor. |
597 |
|
598 |
Set the maximum amount of cpu usage by the VM. The value is a percentage |
599 |
between 0 and (100 * number of VCPUs). Default cap is 0: unlimited. |
600 |
|
601 |
cpu\_weight |
602 |
Valid for the Xen hypervisor. |
603 |
|
604 |
Set the cpu time ratio to be allocated to the VM. Valid values are |
605 |
between 1 and 65535. Default weight is 256. |
606 |
|
607 |
usb\_mouse |
608 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
609 |
|
610 |
This option specifies the usb mouse type to be used. It can be |
611 |
"mouse" or "tablet". When using VNC it's recommended to set it to |
612 |
"tablet". |
613 |
|
614 |
keymap |
615 |
Valid for the KVM hypervisor. |
616 |
|
617 |
This option specifies the keyboard mapping to be used. It is only |
618 |
needed when using the VNC console. For example: "fr" or "en-gb". |
619 |
|
620 |
reboot\_behavior |
621 |
Valid for Xen PVM, Xen HVM and KVM hypervisors. |
622 |
|
623 |
Normally if an instance reboots, the hypervisor will restart it. If |
624 |
this option is set to ``exit``, the hypervisor will treat a reboot |
625 |
as a shutdown instead. |
626 |
|
627 |
It is set to ``reboot`` by default. |
628 |
|
629 |
|
630 |
The ``-O (--os-parameters)`` option allows customisation of the OS |
631 |
parameters. The actual parameter names and values depends on the OS |
632 |
being used, but the syntax is the same key=value. For example, setting |
633 |
a hypothetical ``dhcp`` parameter to yes can be achieved by:: |
634 |
|
635 |
gnt-instance add -O dhcp=yes ... |
636 |
|
637 |
The ``-I (--iallocator)`` option specifies the instance allocator plugin |
638 |
to use (``.`` means the default allocator). If you pass in this option |
639 |
the allocator will select nodes for this instance automatically, so you |
640 |
don't need to pass them with the ``-n`` option. For more information |
641 |
please refer to the instance allocator documentation. |
642 |
|
643 |
The ``-t (--disk-template)`` options specifies the disk layout type |
644 |
for the instance. The available choices are: |
645 |
|
646 |
diskless |
647 |
This creates an instance with no disks. Its useful for testing only |
648 |
(or other special cases). |
649 |
|
650 |
file |
651 |
Disk devices will be regular files. |
652 |
|
653 |
plain |
654 |
Disk devices will be logical volumes. |
655 |
|
656 |
drbd |
657 |
Disk devices will be drbd (version 8.x) on top of lvm volumes. |
658 |
|
659 |
rbd |
660 |
Disk devices will be rbd volumes residing inside a RADOS cluster. |
661 |
|
662 |
|
663 |
The optional second value of the ``-n (--node)`` is used for the drbd |
664 |
template type and specifies the remote node. |
665 |
|
666 |
If you do not want gnt-instance to wait for the disk mirror to be |
667 |
synced, use the ``--no-wait-for-sync`` option. |
668 |
|
669 |
The ``--file-storage-dir`` specifies the relative path under the |
670 |
cluster-wide file storage directory to store file-based disks. It is |
671 |
useful for having different subdirectories for different |
672 |
instances. The full path of the directory where the disk files are |
673 |
stored will consist of cluster-wide file storage directory + optional |
674 |
subdirectory + instance name. Example: |
675 |
``@RPL_FILE_STORAGE_DIR@/mysubdir/instance1.example.com``. This |
676 |
option is only relevant for instances using the file storage backend. |
677 |
|
678 |
The ``--file-driver`` specifies the driver to use for file-based |
679 |
disks. Note that currently these drivers work with the xen hypervisor |
680 |
only. This option is only relevant for instances using the file |
681 |
storage backend. The available choices are: |
682 |
|
683 |
loop |
684 |
Kernel loopback driver. This driver uses loopback devices to |
685 |
access the filesystem within the file. However, running I/O |
686 |
intensive applications in your instance using the loop driver |
687 |
might result in slowdowns. Furthermore, if you use the loopback |
688 |
driver consider increasing the maximum amount of loopback devices |
689 |
(on most systems it's 8) using the max\_loop param. |
690 |
|
691 |
blktap |
692 |
The blktap driver (for Xen hypervisors). In order to be able to |
693 |
use the blktap driver you should check if the 'blktapctrl' user |
694 |
space disk agent is running (usually automatically started via |
695 |
xend). This user-level disk I/O interface has the advantage of |
696 |
better performance. Especially if you use a network file system |
697 |
(e.g. NFS) to store your instances this is the recommended choice. |
698 |
|
699 |
If ``--ignore-ipolicy`` is given any instance policy violations occuring |
700 |
during this operation are ignored. |
701 |
|
702 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
703 |
options. |
704 |
|
705 |
Example:: |
706 |
|
707 |
# gnt-instance add -t file --disk 0:size=30g -B maxmem=512 -o debian-etch \ |
708 |
-n node1.example.com --file-storage-dir=mysubdir instance1.example.com |
709 |
# gnt-instance add -t plain --disk 0:size=30g -B maxmem=1024,minmem=512 \ |
710 |
-o debian-etch -n node1.example.com instance1.example.com |
711 |
# gnt-instance add -t plain --disk 0:size=30g --disk 1:size=100g,vg=san \ |
712 |
-B maxmem=512 -o debian-etch -n node1.example.com instance1.example.com |
713 |
# gnt-instance add -t drbd --disk 0:size=30g -B maxmem=512 -o debian-etch \ |
714 |
-n node1.example.com:node2.example.com instance2.example.com |
715 |
|
716 |
|
717 |
BATCH-CREATE |
718 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
719 |
|
720 |
**batch-create** {instances\_file.json} |
721 |
|
722 |
This command (similar to the Ganeti 1.2 **batcher** tool) submits |
723 |
multiple instance creation jobs based on a definition file. The |
724 |
instance configurations do not encompass all the possible options for |
725 |
the **add** command, but only a subset. |
726 |
|
727 |
The instance file should be a valid-formed JSON file, containing a |
728 |
dictionary with instance name and instance parameters. The accepted |
729 |
parameters are: |
730 |
|
731 |
disk\_size |
732 |
The size of the disks of the instance. |
733 |
|
734 |
disk\_template |
735 |
The disk template to use for the instance, the same as in the |
736 |
**add** command. |
737 |
|
738 |
backend |
739 |
A dictionary of backend parameters. |
740 |
|
741 |
hypervisor |
742 |
A dictionary with a single key (the hypervisor name), and as value |
743 |
the hypervisor options. If not passed, the default hypervisor and |
744 |
hypervisor options will be inherited. |
745 |
|
746 |
mac, ip, mode, link |
747 |
Specifications for the one NIC that will be created for the |
748 |
instance. 'bridge' is also accepted as a backwards compatible |
749 |
key. |
750 |
|
751 |
nics |
752 |
List of nics that will be created for the instance. Each entry |
753 |
should be a dict, with mac, ip, mode and link as possible keys. |
754 |
Please don't provide the "mac, ip, mode, link" parent keys if you |
755 |
use this method for specifying nics. |
756 |
|
757 |
primary\_node, secondary\_node |
758 |
The primary and optionally the secondary node to use for the |
759 |
instance (in case an iallocator script is not used). |
760 |
|
761 |
iallocator |
762 |
Instead of specifying the nodes, an iallocator script can be used |
763 |
to automatically compute them. |
764 |
|
765 |
start |
766 |
whether to start the instance |
767 |
|
768 |
ip\_check |
769 |
Skip the check for already-in-use instance; see the description in |
770 |
the **add** command for details. |
771 |
|
772 |
name\_check |
773 |
Skip the name check for instances; see the description in the |
774 |
**add** command for details. |
775 |
|
776 |
file\_storage\_dir, file\_driver |
777 |
Configuration for the file disk type, see the **add** command for |
778 |
details. |
779 |
|
780 |
|
781 |
A simple definition for one instance can be (with most of the |
782 |
parameters taken from the cluster defaults):: |
783 |
|
784 |
{ |
785 |
"instance3": { |
786 |
"template": "drbd", |
787 |
"os": "debootstrap", |
788 |
"disk_size": ["25G"], |
789 |
"iallocator": "dumb" |
790 |
}, |
791 |
"instance5": { |
792 |
"template": "drbd", |
793 |
"os": "debootstrap", |
794 |
"disk_size": ["25G"], |
795 |
"iallocator": "dumb", |
796 |
"hypervisor": "xen-hvm", |
797 |
"hvparams": {"acpi": true}, |
798 |
"backend": {"maxmem": 512, "minmem": 256} |
799 |
} |
800 |
} |
801 |
|
802 |
The command will display the job id for each submitted instance, as |
803 |
follows:: |
804 |
|
805 |
# gnt-instance batch-create instances.json |
806 |
instance3: 11224 |
807 |
instance5: 11225 |
808 |
|
809 |
REMOVE |
810 |
^^^^^^ |
811 |
|
812 |
**remove** [\--ignore-failures] [\--shutdown-timeout=*N*] [\--submit] |
813 |
[\--force] {*instance*} |
814 |
|
815 |
Remove an instance. This will remove all data from the instance and |
816 |
there is *no way back*. If you are not sure if you use an instance |
817 |
again, use **shutdown** first and leave it in the shutdown state for a |
818 |
while. |
819 |
|
820 |
The ``--ignore-failures`` option will cause the removal to proceed |
821 |
even in the presence of errors during the removal of the instance |
822 |
(e.g. during the shutdown or the disk removal). If this option is not |
823 |
given, the command will stop at the first error. |
824 |
|
825 |
The ``--shutdown-timeout`` is used to specify how much time to wait |
826 |
before forcing the shutdown (e.g. ``xm destroy`` in Xen, killing the |
827 |
kvm process for KVM, etc.). By default two minutes are given to each |
828 |
instance to stop. |
829 |
|
830 |
The ``--force`` option is used to skip the interactive confirmation. |
831 |
|
832 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
833 |
options. |
834 |
|
835 |
Example:: |
836 |
|
837 |
# gnt-instance remove instance1.example.com |
838 |
|
839 |
|
840 |
LIST |
841 |
^^^^ |
842 |
|
843 |
| **list** |
844 |
| [\--no-headers] [\--separator=*SEPARATOR*] [\--units=*UNITS*] [-v] |
845 |
| [{-o|\--output} *[+]FIELD,...*] [\--filter] [instance...] |
846 |
|
847 |
Shows the currently configured instances with memory usage, disk |
848 |
usage, the node they are running on, and their run status. |
849 |
|
850 |
The ``--no-headers`` option will skip the initial header line. The |
851 |
``--separator`` option takes an argument which denotes what will be |
852 |
used between the output fields. Both these options are to help |
853 |
scripting. |
854 |
|
855 |
The units used to display the numeric values in the output varies, |
856 |
depending on the options given. By default, the values will be |
857 |
formatted in the most appropriate unit. If the ``--separator`` option |
858 |
is given, then the values are shown in mebibytes to allow parsing by |
859 |
scripts. In both cases, the ``--units`` option can be used to enforce |
860 |
a given output unit. |
861 |
|
862 |
The ``-v`` option activates verbose mode, which changes the display of |
863 |
special field states (see **ganeti**\(7)). |
864 |
|
865 |
The ``-o (--output)`` option takes a comma-separated list of output |
866 |
fields. The available fields and their meaning are: |
867 |
|
868 |
@QUERY_FIELDS_INSTANCE@ |
869 |
|
870 |
If the value of the option starts with the character ``+``, the new |
871 |
field(s) will be added to the default list. This allows one to quickly |
872 |
see the default list plus a few other fields, instead of retyping the |
873 |
entire list of fields. |
874 |
|
875 |
There is a subtle grouping about the available output fields: all |
876 |
fields except for ``oper_state``, ``oper_ram``, ``oper_vcpus`` and |
877 |
``status`` are configuration value and not run-time values. So if you |
878 |
don't select any of the these fields, the query will be satisfied |
879 |
instantly from the cluster configuration, without having to ask the |
880 |
remote nodes for the data. This can be helpful for big clusters when |
881 |
you only want some data and it makes sense to specify a reduced set of |
882 |
output fields. |
883 |
|
884 |
If exactly one argument is given and it appears to be a query filter |
885 |
(see **ganeti**\(7)), the query result is filtered accordingly. For |
886 |
ambiguous cases (e.g. a single field name as a filter) the ``--filter`` |
887 |
(``-F``) option forces the argument to be treated as a filter (e.g. |
888 |
``gnt-instance list -F admin_state``). |
889 |
|
890 |
The default output field list is: ``name``, ``os``, ``pnode``, |
891 |
``admin_state``, ``oper_state``, ``oper_ram``. |
892 |
|
893 |
|
894 |
LIST-FIELDS |
895 |
^^^^^^^^^^^ |
896 |
|
897 |
**list-fields** [field...] |
898 |
|
899 |
Lists available fields for instances. |

902 |
INFO |
903 |
^^^^ |
904 |
|
905 |
**info** [-s \| \--static] [\--roman] {\--all \| *instance*} |
906 |
|
907 |
Show detailed information about the given instance(s). This is |
908 |
different from **list** as it shows detailed data about the instance's |
909 |
disks (especially useful for the drbd disk template). |
910 |
|
911 |
If the option ``-s`` is used, only information available in the |
912 |
configuration file is returned, without querying nodes, making the |
913 |
operation faster. |
914 |
|
915 |
Use the ``--all`` to get info about all instances, rather than |
916 |
explicitly passing the ones you're interested in. |
917 |
|
918 |
The ``--roman`` option can be used to cause envy among people who like |
919 |
ancient cultures, but are stuck with non-latin-friendly cluster |
920 |
virtualization technologies. |

|
940 |
Modifies the memory size, number of vcpus, ip address, MAC address |
941 |
and/or nic parameters for an instance. It can also add and remove |
942 |
disks and NICs to/from the instance. Note that you need to give at |
943 |
least one of the arguments, otherwise the command complains. |
944 |
|
945 |
The ``-H (--hypervisor-parameters)``, ``-B (--backend-parameters)`` |
946 |
and ``-O (--os-parameters)`` options specifies hypervisor, backend and |
947 |
OS parameter options in the form of name=value[,...]. For details |
948 |
which options can be specified, see the **add** command. |
949 |
|
950 |
The ``-t (--disk-template)`` option will change the disk template of |
951 |
the instance. Currently only conversions between the plain and drbd |
952 |
disk templates are supported, and the instance must be stopped before |
953 |
attempting the conversion. When changing from the plain to the drbd |
954 |
disk template, a new secondary node must be specified via the ``-n`` |
955 |
option. The option ``--no-wait-for-sync`` can be used when converting |
956 |
to the ``drbd`` template in order to make the instance available for |
957 |
startup before DRBD has finished resyncing. |
958 |
|
959 |
The ``-m (--runtime-memory)`` option will change an instance's runtime |
960 |
memory to the given size (in MB if a different suffix is not specified), |
961 |
by ballooning it up or down to the new value. |
962 |
|
963 |
The ``--disk add:size=``*SIZE* option adds a disk to the instance. The |
964 |
optional ``vg=``*VG* option specifies an LVM volume group other than |
965 |
the default volume group to create the disk on. For DRBD disks, the |
966 |
``metavg=``*VG* option specifies the volume group for the metadata |
967 |
device. ``--disk`` *N*``:add,size=``**SIZE** can be used to add a |
968 |
disk at a specific index. The ``--disk remove`` option will remove the |
969 |
last disk of the instance. Use ``--disk `` *N*``:remove`` to remove a |
970 |
disk by its index. The ``--disk`` *N*``:mode=``*MODE* option will change |
971 |
the mode of the Nth disk of the instance between read-only (``ro``) and |
972 |
read-write (``rw``). |
973 |
|
974 |
The ``--net add:``*options* and ``--net`` *N*``:add,``*options* option |
975 |
will add a new network interface to the instance. The available options |
976 |
are the same as in the **add** command (``mac``, ``ip``, ``link``, |
977 |
``mode``). The ``--net remove`` will remove the last network interface |
978 |
of the instance (``--net`` *N*``:remove`` for a specific index), while |
979 |
the ``--net`` *N*``:``*options* option will change the parameters of the Nth |
980 |
instance network interface. |
981 |
|
982 |
The option ``-o (--os-type)`` will change the OS name for the instance |
983 |
(without reinstallation). In case an OS variant is specified that is |
984 |
not found, then by default the modification is refused, unless |
985 |
``--force-variant`` is passed. An invalid OS will also be refused, |
986 |
unless the ``--force`` option is given. |
987 |
|
988 |
The ``--online`` and ``--offline`` options are used to transition an |
989 |
instance into and out of the ``offline`` state. An instance can be |
990 |
turned offline only if it was previously down. The ``--online`` option |
991 |
fails if the instance was not in the ``offline`` state, otherwise it |
992 |
changes instance's state to ``down``. These modifications take effect |
993 |
immediately. |
994 |
|
995 |
If ``--ignore-ipolicy`` is given any instance policy violations occuring |
996 |
during this operation are ignored. |
997 |
|
998 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
999 |
options. |
1000 |
|
1001 |
Most of the changes take effect at the next restart. If the instance is |
1002 |
running, there is no effect on the instance. |
1003 |
|
1004 |
REINSTALL |
1005 |
^^^^^^^^^ |
1006 |
|
1007 |
| **reinstall** [{-o|\--os-type} *os-type*] [\--select-os] [-f *force*] |
1008 |
| [\--force-multiple] |
1009 |
| [\--instance \| \--node \| \--primary \| \--secondary \| \--all] |
1010 |
| [{-O|\--os-parameters} *OS\_PARAMETERS*] [\--submit] {*instance*...} |
1011 |
|
1012 |
Reinstalls the operating system on the given instance(s). The |
1013 |
instance(s) must be stopped when running this command. If the ``-o |
1014 |
(--os-type)`` is specified, the operating system is changed. |
1015 |
|
1016 |
The ``--select-os`` option switches to an interactive OS reinstall. |
1017 |
The user is prompted to select the OS template from the list of |
1018 |
available OS templates. OS parameters can be overridden using ``-O |
1019 |
(--os-parameters)`` (more documentation for this option under the |
1020 |
**add** command). |
1021 |
|
1022 |
Since this is a potentially dangerous command, the user will be |
1023 |
required to confirm this action, unless the ``-f`` flag is passed. |
1024 |
When multiple instances are selected (either by passing multiple |
1025 |
arguments or by using the ``--node``, ``--primary``, ``--secondary`` |
1026 |
or ``--all`` options), the user must pass the ``--force-multiple`` |
1027 |
options to skip the interactive confirmation. |
1028 |
|
1029 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1030 |
options. |
1031 |
|
1032 |
RENAME |
1033 |
^^^^^^ |
1034 |
|
1035 |
| **rename** [\--no-ip-check] [\--no-name-check] [\--submit] |
1036 |
| {*instance*} {*new\_name*} |
1037 |
|
1038 |
Renames the given instance. The instance must be stopped when running |
1039 |
this command. The requirements for the new name are the same as for |
1040 |
adding an instance: the new name must be resolvable and the IP it |
1041 |
resolves to must not be reachable (in order to prevent duplicate IPs |
1042 |
the next time the instance is started). The IP test can be skipped if |
1043 |
the ``--no-ip-check`` option is passed. |
1044 |
|
1045 |
Note that you can rename an instance to its same name, to force |
1046 |
re-executing the os-specific rename script for that instance, if |
1047 |
needed. |
1048 |
|
1049 |
The ``--no-name-check`` skips the check for the new instance name via |
1050 |
the resolver (e.g. in DNS or /etc/hosts, depending on your setup) and |
1051 |
that the resolved name matches the provided name. Since the name check |
1052 |
is used to compute the IP address, if you pass this option you must also |
1053 |
pass the ``--no-ip-check`` option. |
1054 |

1072 |
| {*name*...} |
1073 |
|
1074 |
Starts one or more instances, depending on the following options. The |
1075 |
four available modes are: |
1076 |
|
1077 |
\--instance |
1078 |
will start the instances given as arguments (at least one argument |
1079 |
required); this is the default selection |
1080 |
|
1081 |
\--node |
1082 |
will start the instances who have the given node as either primary |
1083 |
or secondary |
1084 |
|
1085 |
\--primary |
1086 |
will start all instances whose primary node is in the list of nodes |
1087 |
passed as arguments (at least one node required) |
1088 |
|
1089 |
\--secondary |
1090 |
will start all instances whose secondary node is in the list of |
1091 |
nodes passed as arguments (at least one node required) |
1092 |
|
1093 |
\--all |
1094 |
will start all instances in the cluster (no arguments accepted) |
1095 |
|
1096 |
\--tags |
1097 |
will start all instances in the cluster with the tags given as |
1098 |
arguments |
1099 |
|
1100 |
\--node-tags |
1101 |
will start all instances in the cluster on nodes with the tags |
1102 |
given as arguments |
1103 |
|
1104 |
\--pri-node-tags |
1105 |
will start all instances in the cluster on primary nodes with the |
1106 |
tags given as arguments |
1107 |
|
1108 |
\--sec-node-tags |
1109 |
will start all instances in the cluster on secondary nodes with the |
1110 |
tags given as arguments |
1111 |
|
1112 |
Note that although you can pass more than one selection option, the |
1113 |
last one wins, so in order to guarantee the desired result, don't pass |
1114 |
more than one such option. |
1115 |
|
1116 |
Use ``--force`` to start even if secondary disks are failing. |
1117 |
``--ignore-offline`` can be used to ignore offline primary nodes and |
1118 |
mark the instance as started even if the primary is not available. |
1119 |
|
1120 |
The ``--force-multiple`` will skip the interactive confirmation in the |
1121 |
case the more than one instance will be affected. |
1122 |
|
1123 |
The ``--no-remember`` option will perform the startup but not change |
1124 |
the state of the instance in the configuration file (if it was stopped |
1125 |
before, Ganeti will still think it needs to be stopped). This can be |
1126 |
used for testing, or for a one shot-start where you don't want the |
1127 |
watcher to restart the instance if it crashes. |
1128 |
|
1129 |
The ``-H (--hypervisor-parameters)`` and ``-B (--backend-parameters)`` |
1130 |
options specify temporary hypervisor and backend parameters that can |
1131 |
be used to start an instance with modified parameters. They can be |
1132 |
useful for quick testing without having to modify an instance back and |
1133 |
forth, e.g.:: |
1134 |
|
1135 |
# gnt-instance start -H kernel_args="single" instance1 |
1136 |
# gnt-instance start -B maxmem=2048 instance2 |
1137 |
|
1138 |
|
1139 |
The first form will start the instance instance1 in single-user mode, |
1140 |
and the instance instance2 with 2GB of RAM (this time only, unless |
1141 |
that is the actual instance memory size already). Note that the values |
1142 |
override the instance parameters (and not extend them): an instance |
1143 |
with "kernel\_args=ro" when started with -H kernel\_args=single will |
1144 |
result in "single", not "ro single". |
1145 |
|
1146 |
The ``--paused`` option is only valid for Xen and kvm hypervisors. This |
1147 |
pauses the instance at the start of bootup, awaiting ``gnt-instance |
1148 |
console`` to unpause it, allowing the entire boot process to be |
1149 |
monitored for debugging. |
1150 |
|
1151 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1152 |
options. |
1153 |

Example:: |
1155 |
|
1156 |
# gnt-instance start instance1.example.com |

SHUTDOWN |
1162 |
^^^^^^^^ |
1163 |
|
1164 |
| **shutdown** |
1165 |
| [\--timeout=*N*] |
1166 |
| [\--force] [\--force-multiple] [\--ignore-offline] [\--no-remember] |
1167 |
| [\--instance \| \--node \| \--primary \| \--secondary \| \--all \| |
1168 |
| \--tags \| \--node-tags \| \--pri-node-tags \| \--sec-node-tags] |
1169 |
| [\--submit] |
1170 |
| {*name*...} |
1171 |
|
1172 |
Stops one or more instances. If the instance cannot be cleanly stopped |
1173 |
during a hardcoded interval (currently 2 minutes), it will forcibly |
1174 |
stop the instance (equivalent to switching off the power on a physical |
1175 |
machine). |
1176 |
|
1177 |
The ``--timeout`` is used to specify how much time to wait before |
1178 |
forcing the shutdown (e.g. ``xm destroy`` in Xen, killing the kvm |
1179 |
process for KVM, etc.). By default two minutes are given to each |
1180 |
instance to stop. |
1181 |
|
1182 |
The ``--instance``, ``--node``, ``--primary``, ``--secondary``, |
1183 |
``--all``, ``--tags``, ``--node-tags``, ``--pri-node-tags`` and |
1184 |
``--sec-node-tags`` options are similar as for the **startup** command |
1185 |
and they influence the actual instances being shutdown. |
1186 |
|
1187 |
``--ignore-offline`` can be used to ignore offline primary nodes and |
1188 |
force the instance to be marked as stopped. This option should be used |
1189 |
with care as it can lead to an inconsistent cluster state. |
1190 |
|
1191 |
Use ``--force`` to be able to shutdown an instance even when it's marked |
1192 |
as offline. This is useful is an offline instance ends up in the |
1193 |
``ERROR_up`` state, for example. |
1194 |
|
1195 |
The ``--no-remember`` option will perform the shutdown but not change |
1196 |
the state of the instance in the configuration file (if it was running |
1197 |
before, Ganeti will still thinks it needs to be running). This can be |
1198 |
useful for a cluster-wide shutdown, where some instances are marked as |
1199 |
up and some as down, and you don't want to change the running state: |
1200 |
you just need to disable the watcher, shutdown all instances with |
1201 |
``--no-remember``, and when the watcher is activated again it will |
1202 |
restore the correct runtime state for all instances. |
1203 |
|
1204 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1205 |
options. |

1223 |
| [\--submit] |
1224 |
| [*name*...] |
1225 |
|
1226 |
Reboots one or more instances. The type of reboot depends on the value |
1227 |
of ``-t (--type)``. A soft reboot does a hypervisor reboot, a hard reboot |
1228 |
does a instance stop, recreates the hypervisor config for the instance |
1229 |
and starts the instance. A full reboot does the equivalent of |
1230 |
**gnt-instance shutdown && gnt-instance startup**. The default is |
1231 |
hard reboot. |
1232 |
|
1233 |
For the hard reboot the option ``--ignore-secondaries`` ignores errors |
1234 |
for the secondary node while re-assembling the instance disks. |
1235 |
|
1236 |
The ``--instance``, ``--node``, ``--primary``, ``--secondary``, |
1237 |
``--all``, ``--tags``, ``--node-tags``, ``--pri-node-tags`` and |
1238 |
``--sec-node-tags`` options are similar as for the **startup** command |
1239 |
and they influence the actual instances being rebooted. |
1240 |
|
1241 |
The ``--shutdown-timeout`` is used to specify how much time to wait |
1242 |
before forcing the shutdown (xm destroy in xen, killing the kvm |
1243 |
process, for kvm). By default two minutes are given to each instance |
1244 |
to stop. |
1245 |
|
1246 |
The ``--force-multiple`` will skip the interactive confirmation in the |
1247 |
case the more than one instance will be affected. |
1248 |

CONSOLE |
1259 |
^^^^^^^ |
1260 |
|
1261 |
**console** [\--show-cmd] {*instance*} |
1262 |
|
1263 |
Connects to the console of the given instance. If the instance is not |
1264 |
up, an error is returned. Use the ``--show-cmd`` option to display the |
1265 |
command instead of executing it. |
1266 |
|
1267 |
For HVM instances, this will attempt to connect to the serial console |
1268 |
of the instance. To connect to the virtualized "physical" console of a |
1269 |
HVM instance, use a VNC client with the connection info from the |
1270 |
**info** command. |
1271 |
|
1272 |
For Xen/kvm instances, if the instance is paused, this attempts to |
1273 |
unpause the instance after waiting a few seconds for the connection to |
1274 |
the console to be made. |
1275 |
|
1276 |

**replace-disks** [\--submit] [\--early-release] [\--ignore-ipolicy] |
1297 |
{-a\|\--auto} {*instance*} |
1298 |
|
1299 |
This command is a generalized form for replacing disks. It is |
1300 |
currently only valid for the mirrored (DRBD) disk template. |
1301 |
|
1302 |
The first form (when passing the ``-p`` option) will replace the disks |
1303 |
on the primary, while the second form (when passing the ``-s`` option |
1304 |
will replace the disks on the secondary node. For these two cases (as |
1305 |
the node doesn't change), it is possible to only run the replace for a |
1306 |
subset of the disks, using the option ``--disks`` which takes a list |
1307 |
of comma-delimited disk indices (zero-based), e.g. 0,2 to replace only |
1308 |
the first and third disks. |
1309 |
|
1310 |
The third form (when passing either the ``--iallocator`` or the |
1311 |
``--new-secondary`` option) is designed to change secondary node of the |
1312 |
instance. Specifying ``--iallocator`` makes the new secondary be |
1313 |
selected automatically by the specified allocator plugin (use ``.`` to |
1314 |
indicate the default allocator), otherwise the new secondary node will |
1315 |
be the one chosen manually via the ``--new-secondary`` option. |
1316 |
|
1317 |
Note that it is not possible to select an offline or drained node as a |
1318 |
new secondary. |
1319 |
|
1320 |
The fourth form (when using ``--auto``) will automatically determine |
1321 |
which disks of an instance are faulty and replace them within the same |
1322 |
node. The ``--auto`` option works only when an instance has only |
1323 |
faulty disks on either the primary or secondary node; it doesn't work |
1324 |
when both sides have faulty disks. |
1325 |
|
1326 |
The ``--early-release`` changes the code so that the old storage on |
1327 |
secondary node(s) is removed early (before the resync is completed) |
1328 |
and the internal Ganeti locks for the current (and new, if any) |
1329 |
secondary node are also released, thus allowing more parallelism in |
1330 |
the cluster operation. This should be used only when recovering from a |
1331 |
disk failure on the current secondary (thus the old storage is already |
1332 |
broken) or when the storage on the primary node is known to be fine |
1333 |
(thus we won't need the old storage for potential recovery). |
1334 |
|
1335 |
The ``--ignore-ipolicy`` let the command ignore instance policy |
1336 |
violations if replace-disks changes groups and the instance would |
1337 |
violate the new groups instance policy. |
1338 |
|
1339 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1340 |
options. |
1341 |
|
1342 |
ACTIVATE-DISKS |
1343 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
1344 |
|
1345 |
**activate-disks** [\--submit] [\--ignore-size] [\--wait-for-sync] {*instance*} |
1346 |
|
1347 |
Activates the block devices of the given instance. If successful, the |
1348 |
command will show the location and name of the block devices:: |
1349 |
|
1350 |
node1.example.com:disk/0:/dev/drbd0 |
1351 |
node1.example.com:disk/1:/dev/drbd1 |
1352 |
|
1353 |
|
1354 |
In this example, *node1.example.com* is the name of the node on which |
1355 |
the devices have been activated. The *disk/0* and *disk/1* are the |
1356 |
Ganeti-names of the instance disks; how they are visible inside the |
1357 |
instance is hypervisor-specific. */dev/drbd0* and */dev/drbd1* are the |
1358 |
actual block devices as visible on the node. |
1359 |
|
1360 |
The ``--ignore-size`` option can be used to activate disks ignoring |
1361 |
the currently configured size in Ganeti. This can be used in cases |
1362 |
where the configuration has gotten out of sync with the real-world |
1363 |
(e.g. after a partially-failed grow-disk operation or due to rounding |
1364 |
in LVM devices). This should not be used in normal cases, but only |
1365 |
when activate-disks fails without it. |
1366 |
|
1367 |
The ``--wait-for-sync`` option will ensure that the command returns only |
1368 |
after the instance's disks are synchronised (mostly for DRBD); this can |
1369 |
be useful to ensure consistency, as otherwise there are no commands that |
1370 |
can wait until synchronisation is done. However when passing this |
1371 |
option, the command will have additional output, making it harder to |
1372 |
parse the disk information. |
1373 |
|
1374 |
Note that it is safe to run this command while the instance is already |
1375 |
running. |
1376 |
|
1377 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1378 |
options. |
1379 |
|
1380 |
DEACTIVATE-DISKS |
1381 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
1382 |
|
1383 |
**deactivate-disks** [-f] [\--submit] {*instance*} |
1384 |
|
1385 |
De-activates the block devices of the given instance. Note that if you |
1386 |
run this command for an instance with a drbd disk template, while it |
1387 |
is running, it will not be able to shutdown the block devices on the |
1388 |
primary node, but it will shutdown the block devices on the secondary |
1389 |
nodes, thus breaking the replication. |
1390 |
|
1391 |
The ``-f``/``--force`` option will skip checks that the instance is |
1392 |
down; in case the hypervisor is confused and we can't talk to it, |
1393 |
normally Ganeti will refuse to deactivate the disks, but with this |
1394 |
option passed it will skip this check and directly try to deactivate |
1395 |
the disks. This can still fail due to the instance actually running or |
1396 |
other issues. |
1397 |
|
1398 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1399 |
options. |
1400 |
|
1401 |
GROW-DISK |
1402 |
^^^^^^^^^ |
1403 |
|
1404 |
| **grow-disk** [\--no-wait-for-sync] [\--submit] [\--absolute] |
1405 |
| {*instance*} {*disk*} {*amount*} |
1406 |
|
1407 |
Grows an instance's disk. This is only possible for instances having a |
1408 |
plain, drbd, file, sharedfile or rbd disk template. |
1409 |
|
1410 |
Note that this command only change the block device size; it will not |
1411 |
grow the actual filesystems, partitions, etc. that live on that |
1412 |
disk. Usually, you will need to: |
1413 |
|
1414 |
#. use **gnt-instance grow-disk** |
1415 |
|
1416 |
#. reboot the instance (later, at a convenient time) |
1417 |
|
1418 |
#. use a filesystem resizer, such as **ext2online**\(8) or |
1419 |
**xfs\_growfs**\(8) to resize the filesystem, or use **fdisk**\(8) to |
1420 |
change the partition table on the disk |
1421 |
|
1422 |
The *disk* argument is the index of the instance disk to grow. The |
1423 |
*amount* argument is given as a number which can have a suffix (like the |
1424 |
disk size in instance create); if the suffix is missing, the value will |
1425 |
be interpreted as mebibytes. |
1426 |
|
1427 |
By default, the *amount* value represents the desired increase in the |
1428 |
disk size (e.g. an amount of 1G will take a disk of size 3G to 4G). If |
1429 |
the optional ``--absolute`` parameter is passed, then the *amount* |
1430 |
argument doesn't represent the delta, but instead the desired final disk |
1431 |
size (e.g. an amount of 8G will take a disk of size 4G to 8G). |
1432 |
|
1433 |
For instances with a drbd template, note that the disk grow operation |
1434 |
might complete on one node but fail on the other; this will leave the |
1435 |
instance with different-sized LVs on the two nodes, but this will not |
1436 |
create problems (except for unused space). |
1437 |
|
1438 |
If you do not want gnt-instance to wait for the new disk region to be |
1439 |
synced, use the ``--no-wait-for-sync`` option. |
1440 |
|
1441 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1442 |
options. |
1443 |
|
1444 |
Example (increase the first disk for instance1 by 16GiB):: |
1445 |
|
1446 |
# gnt-instance grow-disk instance1.example.com 0 16g |
1447 |
|
1448 |
Example for increasing the disk size to a certain size:: |
1449 |
|
1450 |
# gnt-instance grow-disk --absolute instance1.example.com 0 32g |
1451 |
|
1452 |
Also note that disk shrinking is not supported; use **gnt-backup |
1453 |
export** and then **gnt-backup import** to reduce the disk size of an |
1454 |
instance. |
1455 |
|
1456 |
RECREATE-DISKS |
1457 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
1458 |
|
1459 |
| **recreate-disks** [\--submit] |
1460 |
| [{-n node1:[node2] \| {-I\|\--iallocator *name*}}] |
1461 |
| [\--disk=*N*[:[size=*VAL*][,mode=*ro\|rw*]]] {*instance*} |
1462 |
|
1463 |
Recreates all or a subset of disks of the given instance. |
1464 |
|
1465 |
Note that this functionality should only be used for missing disks; if |
1466 |
any of the given disks already exists, the operation will fail. While |
1467 |
this is suboptimal, recreate-disks should hopefully not be needed in |
1468 |
normal operation and as such the impact of this is low. |
1469 |
|
1470 |
If only a subset should be recreated, any number of ``disk`` options can |
1471 |
be specified. It expects a disk index and an optional list of disk |
1472 |
parameters to change. Only ``size`` and ``mode`` can be changed while |
1473 |
recreating disks. To recreate all disks while changing parameters on |
1474 |
a subset only, a ``--disk`` option must be given for every disk of the |
1475 |
instance. |
1476 |
|
1477 |
Optionally the instance's disks can be recreated on different |
1478 |
nodes. This can be useful if, for example, the original nodes of the |
1479 |
instance have gone down (and are marked offline), so we can't recreate |
1480 |
on the same nodes. To do this, pass the new node(s) via ``-n`` option, |
1481 |
with a syntax similar to the **add** command. The number of nodes |
1482 |
passed must equal the number of nodes that the instance currently |
1483 |
has. Note that changing nodes is only allowed when all disks are |
1484 |
replaced, e.g. when no ``--disk`` option is passed. |
1485 |
|
1486 |
Another method of choosing which nodes to place the instance on is by |
1487 |
using the specified iallocator, passing the ``--iallocator`` option. |
1488 |
The primary and secondary nodes will be chosen by the specified |
1489 |
iallocator plugin, or by the default allocator if ``.`` is specified. |
1490 |
|
1491 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1492 |
options. |

1496 |
|
1497 |
FAILOVER |
1498 |
^^^^^^^^ |
1499 |
|
1500 |
| **failover** [-f] [\--ignore-consistency] [\--ignore-ipolicy] |
1501 |
| [\--shutdown-timeout=*N*] |
1502 |
| [{-n|\--target-node} *node* \| {-I|\--iallocator} *name*] |
1503 |
| [\--submit] |
1504 |
| {*instance*} |
1505 |
|
1506 |
Failover will stop the instance (if running), change its primary node, |
1507 |
and if it was originally running it will start it again (on the new |
1508 |
primary). This only works for instances with drbd template (in which |
1509 |
case you can only fail to the secondary node) and for externally |
1510 |
mirrored templates (blockdev and rbd) (which can change to any other |
1511 |
node). |
1512 |
|
1513 |
If the instance's disk template is of type blockdev or rbd, then you |
1514 |
can explicitly specify the target node (which can be any node) using |
1515 |
the ``-n`` or ``--target-node`` option, or specify an iallocator plugin |
1516 |
using the ``-I`` or ``--iallocator`` option. If you omit both, the default |
1517 |
iallocator will be used to specify the target node. |
1518 |
|
1519 |
Normally the failover will check the consistency of the disks before |
1520 |
failing over the instance. If you are trying to migrate instances off |
1521 |
a dead node, this will fail. Use the ``--ignore-consistency`` option |
1522 |
for this purpose. Note that this option can be dangerous as errors in |
1523 |
shutting down the instance will be ignored, resulting in possibly |
1524 |
having the instance running on two machines in parallel (on |
1525 |
disconnected DRBD drives). |
1526 |
|
1527 |
The ``--shutdown-timeout`` is used to specify how much time to wait |
1528 |
before forcing the shutdown (xm destroy in xen, killing the kvm |
1529 |
process, for kvm). By default two minutes are given to each instance |
1530 |
to stop. |
1531 |
|
1532 |
If ``--ignore-ipolicy`` is given any instance policy violations occuring |
1533 |
during this operation are ignored. |
1534 |
|
1535 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1536 |
options. |
1537 |
|
1538 |
Example:: |
1539 |
|
1540 |
# gnt-instance failover instance1.example.com |
1541 |
|
1542 |
|
1543 |
MIGRATE |
1544 |
^^^^^^^ |
1545 |
|
1546 |
| **migrate** [-f] [\--allow-failover] [\--non-live] |
1547 |
| [\--migration-mode=live\|non-live] [\--ignore-ipolicy] |
1548 |
| [\--no-runtime-changes] [\--submit] |
1549 |
| [{-n|\--target-node} *node* \| {-I|\--iallocator} *name*] {*instance*} |
1550 |
|
1551 |
| **migrate** [-f] \--cleanup [\--submit] {*instance*} |
1552 |
|
1553 |
Migrate will move the instance to its secondary node without shutdown. |
1554 |
As with failover, it only works for instances having the drbd disk |
1555 |
template or an externally mirrored disk template type such as blockdev |
1556 |
or rbd. |
1557 |
|
1558 |
If the instance's disk template is of type blockdev or rbd, then you can |
1559 |
explicitly specify the target node (which can be any node) using the |
1560 |
``-n`` or ``--target-node`` option, or specify an iallocator plugin |
1561 |
using the ``-I`` or ``--iallocator`` option. If you omit both, the |
1562 |
default iallocator will be used to specify the target node. |
1563 |
Alternatively, the default iallocator can be requested by specifying |
1564 |
``.`` as the name of the plugin. |
1565 |
|
1566 |
The migration command needs a perfectly healthy instance, as we rely |
1567 |
on the dual-master capability of drbd8 and the disks of the instance |
1568 |
are not allowed to be degraded. |
1569 |
|
1570 |
The ``--non-live`` and ``--migration-mode=non-live`` options will |
1571 |
switch (for the hypervisors that support it) between a "fully live" |
1572 |
(i.e. the interruption is as minimal as possible) migration and one in |
1573 |
which the instance is frozen, its state saved and transported to the |
1574 |
remote node, and then resumed there. This all depends on the |
1575 |
hypervisor support for two different methods. In any case, it is not |
1576 |
an error to pass this parameter (it will just be ignored if the |
1577 |
hypervisor doesn't support it). The option ``--migration-mode=live`` |
1578 |
option will request a fully-live migration. The default, when neither |
1579 |
option is passed, depends on the hypervisor parameters (and can be |
1580 |
viewed with the **gnt-cluster info** command). |
1581 |
|
1582 |
If the ``--cleanup`` option is passed, the operation changes from |
1583 |
migration to attempting recovery from a failed previous migration. In |
1584 |
this mode, Ganeti checks if the instance runs on the correct node (and |
1585 |
updates its configuration if not) and ensures the instances' disks |
1586 |
are configured correctly. In this mode, the ``--non-live`` option is |
1587 |
ignored. |
1588 |
|
1589 |
The option ``-f`` will skip the prompting for confirmation. |
1590 |
|
1591 |
If ``--allow-failover`` is specified it tries to fallback to failover if |
1592 |
it already can determine that a migration won't work (e.g. if the |
1593 |
instance is shut down). Please note that the fallback will not happen |
1594 |
during execution. If a migration fails during execution it still fails. |
1595 |
|
1596 |
If ``--ignore-ipolicy`` is given any instance policy violations occuring |
1597 |
during this operation are ignored. |
1598 |
|
1599 |
The ``--no-runtime-changes`` option forbids migrate to alter an |
1600 |
instance's runtime before migrating it (eg. ballooning an instance |
1601 |
down because the target node doesn't have enough available memory). |
1602 |
|
1603 |
If an instance has the backend parameter ``always_failover`` set to |
1604 |
true, then the migration is automatically converted into a failover. |
1605 |
|
1606 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1607 |
options. |
1608 |
|
1609 |
Example (and expected output):: |
1610 |
|
1611 |
# gnt-instance migrate instance1 |
1612 |
Instance instance1 will be migrated. Note that migration |
1613 |
might impact the instance if anything goes wrong (e.g. due to bugs in |
1614 |
the hypervisor). Continue? |

MOVE |
1634 |
^^^^ |
1635 |
|
1636 |
| **move** [-f] [\--ignore-consistency] |
1637 |
| [-n *node*] [\--shutdown-timeout=*N*] [\--submit] [\--ignore-ipolicy] |
1638 |
| {*instance*} |
1639 |
|
1640 |
Move will move the instance to an arbitrary node in the cluster. This |
1641 |
works only for instances having a plain or file disk template. |
1642 |
|
1643 |
Note that since this operation is done via data copy, it will take a |
1644 |
long time for big disks (similar to replace-disks for a drbd |
1645 |
instance). |
1646 |
|
1647 |
The ``--shutdown-timeout`` is used to specify how much time to wait |
1648 |
before forcing the shutdown (e.g. ``xm destroy`` in XEN, killing the |
1649 |
kvm process for KVM, etc.). By default two minutes are given to each |
1650 |
instance to stop. |
1651 |
|
1652 |
The ``--ignore-consistency`` option will make Ganeti ignore any errors |
1653 |
in trying to shutdown the instance on its node; useful if the |
1654 |
hypervisor is broken and you want to recover the data. |
1655 |
|
1656 |
If ``--ignore-ipolicy`` is given any instance policy violations occuring |
1657 |
during this operation are ignored. |
1658 |
|
1659 |
See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common |
1660 |

1661 |

CHANGE-GROUP |

1669 |
|
1670 |
| **change-group** [\--submit] |
1671 |
| [\--iallocator *NAME*] [\--to *GROUP*...] {*instance*} |
1672 |
|
1673 |
This command moves an instance to another node group. The move is |
1674 |
calculated by an iallocator, either given on the command line or as a |
1675 |
cluster default. |
1676 |
|
1677 |
If no specific destination groups are specified using ``--to``, all |
1678 |
groups except the one containing the instance are considered. |
1679 |

1693 |
|
1694 |
**add-tags** [\--from *file*] {*instancename*} {*tag*...} |
1695 |
|
1696 |
Add tags to the given instance. If any of the tags contains invalid |
1697 |
characters, the entire operation will abort. |
1698 |
|
1699 |
If the ``--from`` option is given, the list of tags will be extended |
1700 |
with the contents of that file (each line becomes a tag). In this |
1701 |
case, there is not need to pass tags on the command line (if you do, |
1702 |

1715 |
**remove-tags** [\--from *file*] {*instancename*} {*tag*...} |
1716 |
|
1717 |
Remove tags from the given instance. If any of the tags are not |
1718 |
existing on the node, the entire operation will abort. |
1719 |
|
1720 |
If the ``--from`` option is given, the list of tags to be removed will |
1721 |
be extended with the contents of that file (each line becomes a tag). |
1722 |
In this case, there is not need to pass tags on the command line (if |
1723 |
you do, tags from both sources will be removed). A file name of ``-`` |
1724 |
will be interpreted as stdin. |
