Update documentation for the text backend

Update hbal man page to note that we use stddev

We actually use stddev and not the coefficient of variance (as wrongly
noted before), so we update the documentation appropriately.

We also note that the dynamic load values must be pre-normalized, since
we don't do such a normalization in the code.

Update documentation for the iextags

Use either \- or \(hy in manpages

This reduces warnings from lintian when building Debian packages.

Allow overriding the field list in -p

The print nodes option can now accept an optional field list to
customise the output. This is ugly, since the field names do not match
the header names, but it is at least barely customisable (at runtime).

Update hspace manpage with tiered allocation info

Also fixes some other small issues in man pages.

Change the default dynamic usage to baseUtil

This fixed the unbalanced secondary instances on partially empty
clusters, and helps in general for the cases where real utilisation data
is not available.

Fix hbal man page w.r.t. --print-instances

The ordering was wrong, was showing node list details under
--print-instances.

Update hbal manpage with details about dynutil

Show the load on nodes in node lists

The strange printf usage is due to some limitation (it seems) in ghc for
very long argument lists. The whole printout should be rewritten later.

Allow displaying the instance map in hbal

This is similar to --print-nodes, but with much fewer fields.

Update the hbal manpage w.r.t. job execution

Implement support for 'cheap' moves only

This patch adds support for cheap (failover/migrate) operations only in
the balancing algorithm and in the hbal command line options.

This allows a very quick balancing (compared to allowing replace-disks)
which can be useful as a scheduled operation.

Man page updates

This patch beautifies the man pages for hbal and hspace.

Update documentation for the new luxi backend

Remove hn1 and related code

hn1 was deprecated for a while and this patch removes it altogether. The
support code in Cluster.hs is also removed.

Some documentation updates for the new parameters

Add a man page for hspace

Add copyright/license information

This doc-patch adds copyright and license information to (hopefully) all
needed files.

Allow overriding the RAPI port/scheme

This patch adds a very dumb way to override the port and scheme for
RAPI: if the master string doesn't contain a colon, we consider it a
simple hostname specification, and thus prepend ‘https://’ and append
‘:5080’, (the default RAPI port); otherwise, we consider it a fully...

Add support for 'offline' nodes

This patch drops compatiblity with Ganeti 1.2 and adds support for
offline nodes in the cluster. When reading from RAPI, the drained nodes
are considered offline so that we don't allocate on them too.

hbal: add a --quiet option

This option is the opposite of the --verbose option, and it allows
decreasing the verbosity level from the default of one to zero (which
currently doesn't show the warning messages for missing disk/memory).

hbal: Add a new min-score option

This new parameter causes the algorithm to finish (or even not start at
all) if we reach/have a score better than it.

Update man pages with the env variables

This patch documents the environment variables in the man pages of hbal
and hn1.

More man page updates

This moves some data from README to the man pages and has other general
improvements.

d2ac5526 03/23/2009 12:12 am Iustin Pop

Documentation updates

This patch adds a man page for hscan and updates the README and other
man pages with the latest changes.

Add node memory field to Node objects

This patch adds a new n_mem field to the node objects, and implements
read/save/show support for it. The field is not currently used (except
in the node list) but will be used for checking data consistency and
instance up/down status.

Show offline nodes in the node status list

This patch adds a new ‘-’ flag for the node status which denotes offline
nodes.

Add a man page for hn1 and update the hbal one

A new man page and typos fixed in hbal.1.
