Version 2.0 release candidate 3 |
---|---|
2 |
- Change the internal locking model of some gnt-node commands, in |
3 |
order to reduce contention (and blocking of master daemon) when |
4 |
batching many creation/reinstall jobs |
5 |
- Fixes to Xen soft reboot |
6 |
- No longer build documentation at 'make' time, instead distribute it |
7 |
in the archive, in order to reduce the need for the whole |
8 |
docbook/rst toolchains |
9 |
|
10 |
Version 2.0 release candidate 2 |
11 |
- Now the cfgupgrade scripts works and can upgrade 1.2.7 clusters to |
12 |
2.0 |
13 |
- Fix watcher startup sequence, improves the behaviour of busy |
14 |
clusters |
15 |
- Some other fixes in cluster verify, replace-disks, gnt-instance add, |
16 |
gnt-cluster queue, KVM VNC bind address and other places |
17 |
- Some documentation fixes and updates |
18 |
|
19 |
Version 2.0 release candidate 1 |
20 |
- More documentation updates, now all docs should be more-or-less |
21 |
up-to-date |
22 |
- A couple of small fixes (mixed hypervisor clusters, offline nodes, |
23 |
etc.) |
24 |
- Added a customizable HV_KERNEL_ARGS hypervisor parameter (for Xen |
25 |
PVM and KVM) |
26 |
- Fix an issue related to $libdir/run/ganeti and cluster creation |
27 |
|
28 |
Version 2.0 beta 2 |
29 |
- Xen PVM and KVM have switched the default value for the instance |
30 |
root disk to the first partition on the first drive, instead of the |
31 |
whole drive; this means that the OS installation scripts must be |
32 |
changed accordingly |
33 |
- Man pages have been updated |
34 |
- RAPI has been switched by default to HTTPS, and the exported |
35 |
functions should all work correctly |
36 |
- RAPI v1 has been removed |
37 |
- Many improvements to the KVM hypervisor |
38 |
- Block device errors are now better reported |
39 |
- Many other bugfixes and small improvements |
40 |
|
41 |
Version 2.0 beta 1 |
42 |
- Version 2 is a general rewrite of the code and therefore the |
43 |
differences are too many to list, see the design document for 2.0 in |
44 |
the doc/ subdirectory for more details |
45 |
- In this beta version there is not yet a migration path from 1.2 |
46 |
(there will be one in the final 2.0 release) |
47 |
- A few significant changes are: |
48 |
- all commands are executed by a daemon (ganeti-masterd) and the |
49 |
various gnt-* commands are just front-ends to it |
50 |
- all the commands are entered into, and executed from a job queue, |
51 |
see gnt-job(8) |
52 |
- the RAPI daemon supports read-write operations, secured by basic |
53 |
HTTP authentication on top of HTTPS |
54 |
- DRBD version 0.7 support has been removed, DRBD 8 is the only |
55 |
supported version (when migrating from Ganeti 1.2 to 2.0, you need |
56 |
to migrate to DRBD 8 first while still running Ganeti 1.2) |
57 |
- DRBD devices are using statically allocated minor numbers, which |
58 |
will be assigned to existing instances during the migration |
59 |
process |
60 |
- there is support for both Xen PVM and Xen HVM instances running on |
61 |
the same cluster |
62 |
- KVM virtualization is supported too |
63 |
- file-based storage has been implemented, which means that it is |
64 |
possible to run the cluster without LVM and DRBD storage, for |
65 |
example using a shared filesystem exported from shared storage |
66 |
(and still have live migration) |
67 |
|
68 |
Version 1.2.7 |
69 |
- Change the default reboot type in gnt-instance reboot to "hard" |
70 |
- Reuse the old instance mac address by default on instance import, |
71 |
if the instance name is the same. |
72 |
- Handle situations in which the node info rpc returns incomplete results |
73 |
(issue 46) |
74 |
- Add checks for tcp/udp ports collisions in gnt-cluster verify |
75 |
- Improved version of batcher: |
76 |
- state file support |
77 |
- instance mac address support |
78 |
- support for HVM clusters/instances |
79 |
- Add an option to show the number of cpu sockets and nodes in gnt-node list |
80 |
- Support OSes that handle more than one version of the OS api |
81 |
(but do not change the current API in any other way) |
82 |
- Fix gnt-node migrate |
83 |
- gnt-debug man page |
84 |
- Fixes various more typos&small issues |
85 |
- Increase disk resync maximum speed to 60MB/s (from 30MB/s) |
86 |
|
87 |
Version 1.2.6 |
88 |
- new --hvm-nic-type and --hvm-disk-type flags to control the type of disk |
89 |
exported to fully virtualized instances. |
90 |
- provide access to the serial console of HVM instances |
91 |
- instance auto_balance flag, set by default. If turned off it will avoid |
92 |
warnings on cluster verify if there is not enough memory to fail over an |
93 |
instance. in the future it will prevent automatically failing it over when |
94 |
we will support that. |
95 |
- batcher tool for instance creation, see /tools/README.batcher |
96 |
- gnt-instance reinstall --select-os to interactively select a new operating |
97 |
system when reinstalling an instance. |
98 |
- when changing the memory amount on instance modify a check has been added |
99 |
that the instance will be able to start. also warnings are emitted if the |
100 |
instance will not be able to fail over, if auto_balance is true. |
101 |
- documentation fixes |
102 |
- sync fields between instance list/modify/add/import |
103 |
- fix a race condition in drbd when the sync speed was set after giving the |
104 |
device a remote peer. |
105 |
|
106 |
Version 1.2.5 |
107 |
- note: the allowed size and number of tags per object were reduced |
108 |
- fix a bug in “gnt-cluster verify” with inconsistent volume groups |
109 |
- fixed twisted 8.x compatibility |
110 |
- fixed gnt-instance replace-disks with iallocator |
111 |
- add TCP keepalives on twisted connections to detect restarted nodes |
112 |
- disk increase support, see “gnt-instance grow-disk” |
113 |
- implement bulk node/instance query for RAPI |
114 |
- add tags in node/instance listing (optional) |
115 |
- experimental migration (and live migration) support, read the man |
116 |
page for “gnt-instance migrate” |
117 |
- the ganeti-watcher logs are now timestamped, and the watcher also |
118 |
has some small improvements in handling its state file |
119 |
|
120 |
Version 1.2.4 |
121 |
- Experimental readonly, REST-based remote API implementation; automatically |
122 |
started on master node, TCP port 5080, if enabled by --enable-rapi |
123 |
parameter to configure script. |
124 |
- Instance allocator support. Add and import instance accept a --iallocator |
125 |
parameter, and call that instance allocator to decide which node to use for |
126 |
the instance. The iallocator document describes what's expected from an |
127 |
allocator script. |
128 |
- gnt-cluster verify N+1 memory redundancy checks: Unless passed the |
129 |
--no-nplus1-mem option gnt-cluster verify now checks that if a node is lost |
130 |
there is still enough memory to fail over the instances that reside on it. |
131 |
- gnt-cluster verify hooks: it is now possible to add post-hooks to |
132 |
gnt-cluster verify, to check for site-specific compliance. All the hooks |
133 |
will run, and their output, if any, will be displayed. Any failing hook |
134 |
will make the verification return an error value. |
135 |
- gnt-cluster verify now checks that its peers are reachable on the primary |
136 |
and secondary interfaces |
137 |
- gnt-node add now supports the --readd option, to readd a node that is still |
138 |
declared as part of the cluster and has failed. |
139 |
- gnt-* list commands now accept a new -o +field way of specifying output |
140 |
fields, that just adds the chosen fields to the default ones. |
141 |
- gnt-backup now has a new "remove" command to delete an existing export from |
142 |
the filesystem. |
143 |
- New per-instance parameters hvm_acpi, hvm_pae and hvm_cdrom_image_path have |
144 |
been added. Using them you can enable/disable acpi and pae support, and |
145 |
specify a path for a cd image to be exported to the instance. These |
146 |
parameters as the name suggest only work on HVM clusters. |
147 |
- When upgrading an HVM cluster to Ganeti 1.2.4, the values for ACPI and PAE |
148 |
support will be set to the previously hardcoded values, but the (previously |
149 |
hardcoded) path to the CDROM ISO image will be unset and if required, needs |
150 |
to be set manually with gnt-instance modify after the upgrade.. |
151 |
- The address to which an instance's VNC console is bound is now selectable |
152 |
per-instance, rather than being cluster wide. Of course this only applies |
153 |
to instances controlled via VNC, so currently just applies to HVM clusters. |
154 |
|
155 |
Version 1.2.3 |
156 |
- more tweaks to the disk activation code (especially helpful for DRBD) |
157 |
- change the default ‘gnt-instance list’ output format, now there is |
158 |
one combined status field (see the manpage for the exact values this |
159 |
field will have) |
160 |
- some more fixes for the mac export to hooks change |
161 |
- make Ganeti not break with DRBD 8.2.x (which changed the version |
162 |
format in /proc/drbd) (issue 24) |
163 |
- add an upgrade tool from ‘remote_raid1’ disk template to ‘drbd’ disk |
164 |
template, allowing migration from DRBD0.7+MD to DRBD8 |
165 |
|
166 |
Version 1.2.2 |
167 |
- fix ‘gnt-instance modify’ breakage introduced in 1.2.1 with the HVM |
168 |
support (issue 23) |
169 |
- add command aliases infrastructure and a few aliases |
170 |
- allow listing of VCPUs in the gnt-instance list and improve the man |
171 |
pages and the --help option of gnt-node/gnt-instance list |
172 |
- fix gnt-backup list with down nodes (issue 21) |
173 |
- change the tools location (move from $pkgdatadir to |
174 |
$pkglibdir/tools) |
175 |
- fix the dist archive and add a check for including svn/git files in |
176 |
the future |
177 |
- some developer-related changes: improve the burnin and the QA |
178 |
suite, add an upload script for testing during development |
179 |
|
180 |
Version 1.2.1 |
181 |
- experimental HVM support, read the install document, section |
182 |
"Initializing the cluster" |
183 |
- allow for the PVM hypervisor per-instance kernel and initrd paths |
184 |
- add a new command ‘gnt-cluster verify-disks’ which uses a new |
185 |
algorithm to improve the reconnection of the DRBD pairs if the |
186 |
device on the secondary node has gone away |
187 |
- make logical volume code auto-activate LVs at disk activation time |
188 |
- slightly improve the speed of activating disks |
189 |
- allow specification of the MAC address at instance creation time, |
190 |
and changing it later via ‘gnt-instance modify’ |
191 |
- fix handling of external commands that generate lots of output on |
192 |
stderr |
193 |
- update documentation with regard to minimum version of DRBD8 |
194 |
supported |
195 |
|
196 |
Version 1.2.0 |
197 |
- Log the ‘xm create’ output to the node daemon log on failure (to |
198 |
help diagnosing the error) |
199 |
- In debug mode, log all external commands output if failed to the |
200 |
logs |
201 |
- Change parsing of lvm commands to ignore stderr |
202 |
|
203 |
Version 1.2b3 |
204 |
- Another round of updates to the DRBD 8 code to deal with more |
205 |
failures in the replace secondary node operation |
206 |
- Some more logging of failures in disk operations (lvm, drbd) |
207 |
- A few documentation updates |
208 |
- QA updates |
209 |
|
210 |
Version 1.2b2 |
211 |
- Change configuration file format from Python's Pickle to JSON. |
212 |
Upgrading is possible using the cfgupgrade utility. |
213 |
- Add support for DRBD 8.0 (new disk template `drbd`) which allows for |
214 |
faster replace disks and is more stable (DRBD 8 has many |
215 |
improvements compared to DRBD 0.7) |
216 |
- Added command line tags support (see man pages for gnt-instance, |
217 |
gnt-node, gnt-cluster) |
218 |
- Added instance rename support |
219 |
- Added multi-instance startup/shutdown |
220 |
- Added cluster rename support |
221 |
- Added `gnt-node evacuate` to simplify some node operations |
222 |
- Added instance reboot operation that can speedup reboot as compared |
223 |
to stop and start |
224 |
- Soften the requirement that hostnames are in FQDN format |
225 |
- The ganeti-watcher now activates drbd pairs after secondary node |
226 |
reboots |
227 |
- Removed dependency on debian's patched fping that uses the |
228 |
non-standard -S option |
229 |
- Now the OS definitions are searched for in multiple, configurable |
230 |
paths (easier for distros to package) |
231 |
- Some changes to the hooks infrastructure (especially the new |
232 |
post-configuration update hook) |
233 |
- Other small bugfixes |
