        <arg>-s <replaceable>secondary_ip</replaceable></arg>

        <arg choice="req"><replaceable>nodename</replaceable></arg>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        Adds the given node to the cluster.

      </para>

      <para>

        This command is used to join a new node to the cluster. You

        will have to provide the password for root of the node to be

        able to add the node in the cluster. The command needs to be

        run on the ganeti master.

      </para>

      <para>

        Note that the command is potentially destructive, as it will

        forcibly join the specified host the cluster, not paying

        attention to its current status (it could be already in a

        cluster, etc.)

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>-s</option> is used in dual-home clusters and

        specifies the new node's IP in the secondary network. See the

        discussion in <citerefentry>

        <refentrytitle>gnt-cluster</refentrytitle>

        <manvolnum>8</manvolnum> </citerefentry> for more

        information.

      </para>

      <para>

        In case you're readding a node after hardware failure, you can

        use the <option>--readd</option> parameter. In this case, you

        don't need to pass the secondary IP again, it will reused from

        the cluster. Also, the <literal>drained</literal> and

        <literal>offline</literal> flags of the node will be cleared

        before re-adding it.

      </para>

      <para>

        Example:

        <screen>

# gnt-node add node5.example.com

# gnt-node add -s 192.168.44.5 node5.example.com

        </screen>

        <arg choice="req"

        rep="repeat"><replaceable>tag</replaceable></arg>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        Add tags to the given node. If any of the tags contains

        invalid characters, the entire operation will abort.

      </para>

      <para>

        If the <option>--from</option> option is given, the list of

        tags will be extended with the contents of that file (each

        line becomes a tag). In this case, there is not need to pass

        tags on the command line (if you do, both sources will be

        used). A file name of - will be interpreted as stdin.

      </para>

        </group>

        <arg choice="req"><replaceable>node</replaceable></arg>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        This command will move all secondary instances away from the

        given node. It works only for instances having a drbd disk

        template.

      </para>

      <para>

        The new location for the instances can be specified in two ways:

        <itemizedlist>

          <listitem>

            <simpara>as a single node for all instances, via the

            <option>--new-secondary</option> option</simpara>

          </listitem>

          <listitem>

            <simpara>or via the <option>--iallocator</option> option,

            giving a script name as parameter, so each instance will

            be in turn placed on the (per the script) optimal

            node</simpara>

          </listitem>

        </itemizedlist>

      </para>

      <para>

        Example:

        <screen>

          # gnt-node evacuate -I dumb node3.example.com

        </screen>

      </para>

      <title>FAILOVER</title>

      <cmdsynopsis>

        <command>failover</command>

        <arg>-f</arg>

        <arg>--ignore-consistency</arg>

        <arg choice="req"><replaceable>node</replaceable></arg>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        This command will fail over all instances having the given

        node as primary to their secondary nodes. This works only for

        instances having a drbd disk template.

      </para>

      <para>

        Normally the failover will check the consistency of the disks

        before failing over the instance. If you are trying to migrate

        instances off a dead node, this will fail. Use the

        <option>--ignore-consistency</option> option for this purpose.

      </para>

      <para>

        Example:

        <screen>

          # gnt-node failover node1.example.com

        </screen>

      </para>

      <para>

        Show detailed information about the nodes in the cluster. If you

        don't give any arguments, all nodes will be shows, otherwise the

        output will be restricted to the given names.

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        Lists the nodes in the cluster.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--no-headers</option> option will skip the initial

        header line. The <option>--separator</option> option takes an

        argument which denotes what will be used between the output

        fields. Both these options are to help scripting.

      </para>

      <para>

        The units used to display the numeric values in the output

        varies, depending on the options given. By default, the values

        will be formatted in the most appropriate unit. If the

        <option>--separator</option> option is given, then the values

        are shown in mebibytes to allow parsing by scripts. In both

        cases, the <option>--units</option> option can be used to

        enforce a given output unit.

      </para>

      <para>

        By default, the query of nodes will be done in parallel with

        any running jobs. This might give inconsistent results for the

        free disk/memory. The <option>--sync</option> can be used to

        grab locks for all the nodes and ensure consistent view of the

        cluster (but this might stall the query for a long time).

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>-o</option> option takes a comma-separated list of

        output fields. The available fields and their meaning are:

        </variablelist>

      </para>

      <para>

        If the value of the option starts with the character

        <constant>+</constant>, the new fields will be added to the

        default list. This allows to quickly see the default list plus

        a few other fields, instead of retyping the entire list of

        fields.

      </para>

      <para>

        Note that some of this fields are known from the configuration

        of the cluster (e.g. <simplelist type="inline">

        <member>name</member> <member>pinst</member>

        <member>sinst</member> <member>pip</member>

        <member>sip</member> </simplelist> and thus the master does

        not need to contact the node for this data (making the listing

        fast if only fields from this set are selected), whereas the

        other fields are "live" fields and we need to make a query to

        the cluster nodes.

      </para>

      <para>

        Depending on the virtualization type and implementation

        details, the mtotal, mnode and mfree may have slighly varying

        meanings. For example, some solutions share the node memory

        with the pool of memory used for instances

        (<acronym>KVM</acronym>), whereas others have separate memory

        for the node and for the instances (Xen).

      </para>

      <para>

      <para>

        This command will migrate all instances having the given

        node as primary to their secondary nodes. This works only for

        instances having a drbd disk template.

      </para>

      <para>

        As for the <command>gnt-instance migrate</command> command,

        the <option>--no-live</option> option can be given to do a

        non-live migration.

      </para>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        This command changes the role of the node. Each options takes

        either a literal <literal>yes</literal> or

        <literal>no</literal>, and only one option should be given as

        <literal>yes</literal>. The meaning of the roles are described

        in the manpage <citerefentry>

        <refentrytitle>ganeti</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>7</manvolnum>

        </citerefentry>.

      </para>

      <para>

        In case a node is demoted from the master candidate role, but

        there are not enough new nodes for this case, the operation

        will be refused. To override this check, pass the

        <option>--force</option> option.

      </para>

      <para>

        Example (setting a node offline, which will demote it from

        master candidate role if is in that role):

        <screen>

# gnt-node modify --offline=yes node1.example.com

        </screen>

      </para>

      <para>Example (setting the node back to online and master candidate):

      <para>

        Remove tags from the given node. If any of the tags are not

        existing on the node, the entire operation will abort.

      </para>

      <para>

        If the <option>--from</option> option is given, the list of

        tags will be extended with the contents of that file (each

        line becomes a tag). In this case, there is not need to pass

        tags on the command line (if you do, both sources will be

        used). A file name of - will be interpreted as stdin.

      <para>

        Lists all logical volumes and their physical disks from the node(s)

        provided.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--no-headers</option> option will skip the initial

        header line. The <option>--separator</option> option takes an

        argument which denotes what will be used between the output

        fields. Both these options are to help scripting.

      </para>

      <para>

        The units used to display the numeric values in the output

        varies, depending on the options given. By default, the values

        will be formatted in the most appropriate unit. If the

        <option>--separator</option> option is given, then the values

        are shown in mebibytes to allow parsing by scripts. In both

        cases, the <option>--units</option> option can be used to

        enforce a given output unit.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>-o</option> option takes a comma-separated list of

        output fields. The available fields and their meaning are:
