<para> |
51 |
The <command>&dhpackage;</command> is used for importing and exporting |
52 |
instances and their configuration from a ganeti system. It is useful for |
53 |
backing instances up and also to migrate them between clusters. |

<para> |

Exports an instance to the target node. All the instance data |
72 |
and its configuration will be exported under the |
73 |
/srv/ganeti/export/<replaceable>instance</replaceable> |
74 |
directory on the target node. |
75 |
</para> |
76 |
|
77 |
<para> |
78 |
The <option>--noshutdown</option> option will create a |
79 |
snapshot disk of the instance without shutting it down first. |
80 |
While this is faster and involves no downtime, it cannot be |
81 |
guaranteed that the instance data will be in a consistent state |
82 |
in the exported dump. |

<para> |
130 |
Imports a new instance from an export residing on |
131 |
<replaceable>source-node</replaceable> in |
132 |
<replaceable>source-dir</replaceable>. |
133 |
<replaceable>instance</replaceable> must be in DNS and resolve |
134 |
to a IP in the same network as the nodes in the cluster. If |
135 |
the source node and directory are not passed, the last backup |
136 |
in the cluster is used, as visible with the |
137 |
<command>list</command> command. |
138 |
</para> |
139 |
|
140 |
<para> |
141 |
The <option>disk</option> option specifies the parameters for |
142 |
the disks of the instance. The numbering of disks starts at |
143 |
zero, and at least one disk needs to be passed. For each disk, |
144 |
at least the size needs to be given, and optionally the access |
145 |
mode (read-only or the default of read-write) can also be |
146 |
specified. The size is interpreted (when no unit is given) in |
147 |
mebibytes. You can also use one of the suffixes |
148 |
<literal>m</literal>, <literal>g</literal> or |
149 |
<literal>t</literal> to specificy the exact the units used; |
150 |
these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes. |
151 |
</para> |
152 |
|
153 |
<para> |
154 |
Alternatively, a single-disk instance can be created via the |
155 |
<option>-s</option> option which takes a single argument, |
156 |
the size of the disk. This is similar to the Ganeti 1.2 |
157 |
version (but will only create one disk). |
158 |
</para> |
159 |
|
160 |
<para> |
161 |
The minimum disk specification is therefore |
162 |
<userinput>--disk 0:size=20G</userinput> (or <userinput>-s |
163 |
20G</userinput> when using the <option>-s</option> option), |
164 |
and a three-disk instance can be specified as |
165 |
<userinput>--disk 0:size=20G --disk 1:size=4G --disk |
166 |
2:size=100G</userinput>. |
167 |
</para> |
168 |
|
169 |
<para> |
170 |
The NICs of the instances can be specified via the |
171 |
<option>--nic</option> option. By default, one NIC is created |
172 |
for the instance, with the MAC set to the original MAC of the |
173 |
instance (as it was at export time). Each NIC can take up to |
174 |
three parameters (all optional): |
175 |
<variablelist> |
176 |
<varlistentry> |
177 |
<term>mac</term> |
178 |
<listitem> |
179 |
<simpara>either a value or <constant>GENERATE</constant> |
180 |
to generate a new unique MAC, or |

<simpara>specifies the IP address assigned to the |

instance from the Ganeti side (this is not necessarily |
189 |
what the instance will use, but what the node expects |
190 |
the instance to use)</simpara> |

</varlistentry> |
200 |
</variablelist> |
201 |
</para> |
202 |
|
203 |
<para> |
204 |
Alternatively, if no network is desired for the instance, you |
205 |
can prevent the default of one NIC with the |
206 |
<option>--no-nics</option> option. |
207 |
</para> |
208 |
|
209 |
<para> |
210 |
The <option>-B</option> option specifies the backend |
211 |
parameters for the instance. If no such parameters are |
212 |
specified, the values are inherited from the cluster. Possible |
213 |
parameters are: |
214 |
<variablelist> |
215 |
<varlistentry> |
216 |
<term>memory</term> |
217 |
<listitem> |
218 |
<simpara>the memory size of the instance; as usual, |
219 |
suffixes can be used to denote the unit, otherwise the |

The <option>--iallocator</option> option specifies the instance |
286 |
allocator plugin to use. If you pass in this option the allocator will |
287 |
select nodes for this instance automatically, so you don't need to pass |
288 |
them with the <option>-n</option> option. For more information please |
289 |
refer to the instance allocator documentation. |
