<para> |
49 |
The <command>&dhpackage;</command> is a periodically run script |
50 |
which is responsible for keeping the instances in the correct |
51 |
status. It has two separate functions, one for the master node |
52 |
and another one that runs on every node. |
53 |
</para> |

|
55 |
<refsect2> |
56 |
<title>Master operations</title> |
57 |
|
58 |
<para> |
59 |
Its primary function is to try to keep running all instances |
60 |
which are marked as <emphasis>up</emphasis> in the configuration |
61 |
file, by trying to start them a limited number of times. |
62 |
</para> |
63 |
|
64 |
<para> |
65 |
Its other function is to <quote>repair</quote> DRBD links by |
66 |
reactivating the block devices of instances which have |
67 |
secondaries on nodes that have been rebooted. |
68 |
</para> |

<para> |
77 |
The watcher will restart any down daemons that are appropriate |
78 |
for the current node. |
79 |
</para> |
80 |
|
81 |
<para> |
82 |
In addition, it will execute any scripts which exist under the |
83 |
<quote>watcher</quote> directory in the ganeti hooks directory |
84 |
(@SYSCONFDIR@/ganeti/hooks). This should be used for |
85 |
lightweight actions, like starting any extra daemons. |
86 |
</para> |
87 |
|
88 |
<para> |
89 |
If the cluster |
90 |
parameter <literal>maintain_node_health</literal> is enabled, |
91 |
then the watcher will also shutdown instances and DRBD devices |
92 |
if the node is declared as offline by known master candidates. |
93 |
</para> |
94 |
|
95 |
<para> |
96 |
The watcher does synchronous queries but will submit jobs for |
97 |
executing the changes. Due to locking, it could be that the jobs |
98 |
execute much later than the watcher executes them. |

109 |
<para> |
110 |
The command has a state file located at |
111 |
<filename>@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/ganeti/watcher.data</filename> |
112 |
(only used on the master) and a log file at |
113 |
<filename>@LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/ganeti/watcher.log</filename>. Removal of |
114 |
either file will not affect correct operation; the removal of |
115 |
the state file will just cause the restart counters for the |
116 |
instances to reset to zero. |
