        <para>
119
          Creates a new instance on the specified host. The
120
          <replaceable>instance</replaceable> argument must be in DNS,
121
          but depending on the bridge/routing setup, need not be in
122
          the same network as the nodes in the cluster.
123
        </para>
124

    
125
        <para>
126
          The <option>disk</option> option specifies the parameters
127
          for the disks of the instance. The numbering of disks starts
128
          at zero, and at least one disk needs to be passed. For each
129
          disk, at least the size needs to be given, and optionally
130
          the access mode (read-only or the default of read-write) can
131
          also be specified.  The size is interpreted (when no unit is
132
          given) in mebibytes. You can also use one of the suffixes
133
          <literal>m</literal>, <literal>g</literal> or
134
          <literal>t</literal> to specificy the exact the units used;
135
          these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes.
136
        </para>
137

    
138
        <para>
139
          Alternatively, a single-disk instance can be created via the
140
          <option>-s</option> option which takes a single argument,
141
          the size of the disk. This is similar to the Ganeti 1.2
142
          version (but will only create one disk).
143
        </para>
144

    
145
        <para>
146
          The minimum disk specification is therefore
147
          <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G</userinput> (or <userinput>-s
148
          20G</userinput> when using the <option>-s</option> option),
149
          and a three-disk instance can be specified as
150
          <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G --disk 1:size=4G --disk
151
          2:size=100G</userinput>.
152
        </para>
153

    
154
        <para>
155
          The <option>--no-ip-check</option> skips the checks that are
156
          done to see if the instance's IP is not already alive
157
          (i.e. reachable from the master node).
158
        </para>
159

    
160
        <para>
161
          The <option>--no-name-check</option> skips the check for the
162
          instance name via the resolver (e.g. in DNS or /etc/hosts,
163
          depending on your setup). Since the name check is used to
164
          compute the IP address, if you pass this option you must
165
          also pass the <option>--no-ip-check</option> option.
166
        </para>
167

    
168
        <para>
169
          If you don't wat the instance to automatically start after
170
          creation, this is possible via the
171
          <option>--no-start</option> option. This will leave the
172
          instance down until a subsequent <command>gnt-instance
173
          start</command> command.
174
        </para>
175

    
176
        <para>
177
          The NICs of the instances can be specified via the
178
          <option>--net</option> option. By default, one NIC is
179
          created for the instance, with a random MAC, and set
180
          up according the the cluster level nic parameters.
181
          Each NIC can take these parameters (all optional):

                  differentiate between different routing tables/instance
212
                  groups (but the meaning is dependent on the network

        <para>
222
          Alternatively, if no network is desired for the instance, you
223
          can prevent the default of one NIC with the

          <option>--no-nics</option> option.

336
                  couldn't netboot from virtio interfaces. This has

                  been fixed in more recent versions and is confirmed
338

663
                  file. However, running I/O intensive applications in
664
                  your instance using the loop driver might result in
665
                  slowdowns.  Furthermore, if you use the loopback
666
                  driver consider increasing the maximum amount of
667
                  loopback devices (on most systems it's 8) using the

          If the value of the option starts with the character
1254
          <constant>+</constant>, the new field(s) will be added to the
1255
          default list. This allows to quickly see the default list
1256
          plus a few other fields, instead of retyping the entire list

1260
        <para>
1261
          There is a subtle grouping about the available output
1262
          fields: all fields except for <option>oper_state</option>,
1263
          <option>oper_ram</option> and <option>status</option> are
1264
          configuration value and not run-time values. So if you don't
1265
          select any of the these fields, the query will be satisfied
1266
          instantly from the cluster configuration, without having to
1267
          ask the remote nodes for the data. This can be helpful for
1268
          big clusters when you only want some data and it makes sense
1269
          to specify a reduced set of output fields.

          specify temporary hypervisor and backend parameters that can
1613
          be used to start an instance with modified parameters. They
1614
          can be useful for quick testing without having to modify an
1615
          instance back and forth, e.g.:
1616
          <screen>
1617
# gnt-instance start -H root_args="single" instance1
1618
# gnt-instance start -B memory=2048 instance2
1619
          </screen>
1620
          The first form will start the instance
1621
          <userinput>instance1</userinput> in single-user mode, and
1622
          the instance <userinput>instance2</userinput> with 2GB of
1623
          RAM (this time only, unless that is the actual instance
1624
          memory size already). Note that the values override the
1625
          instance parameters (and not extend them): an instance with
1626
          "root_args=ro" when started with <userinput>-H
1627
          root_args=single</userinput> will result in "single", not
1628
          "ro single".

          Reboots one or more instances. The type of reboot depends on

1753
          recreates the hypervisor config for the instance and

1882
          will replace the disks on the primary, while the second form
1883
          (when passing the <option>-s</option> option will replace
1884
          the disks on the secondary node. For these two cases (as the
1885
          node doesn't change), it is possible to only run the replace
1886
          for a subset of the disks, using the option
1887
          <option>--disks</option> which takes a list of
1888
          comma-delimited disk indices (zero-based),
1889
          e.g. <userinput>0,2</userinput> to replace only the first
1890
          and third disks.

1895
          <option>--iallocator</option> or the
1896
          <option>--new-secondary</option> option) is designed to
1897
          change secondary node of the instance.  Specifying
1898
          <option>--iallocator</option> makes the new secondary be
1899
          selected automatically by the specified allocator plugin,
1900
          otherwise the new secondary node will be the one chosen
1901
          manually via the <option>--new-secondary</option> option.

1907
          replace them within the same node. The <option>--auto</option>
1908
          option works only when an instance has only faulty disks on
1909
          either the primary or secondary node; it doesn't work when
1910
          both sides have faulty disks.

          that the old storage on secondary node(s) is removed early
1923
          (before the resync is completed) and the internal Ganeti
1924
          locks for the current (and new, if any) secondary node are
1925
          also released, thus allowing more parallelism in the cluster
1926
          operation. This should be used only when recovering from a
1927
          disk failure on the current secondary (thus the old storage
1928
          is already broken) or when the storage on the primary node
1929

          Failover will fail the instance over its secondary

          Normally the failover will check the consistency of the
2165
          disks before failing over the instance. If you are trying to
2166
          migrate instances off a dead node, this will fail. Use the

          <option>--ignore-consistency</option> option for this
2168
          purpose. Note that this option can be dangerous as errors in
2169
          shutting down the instance will be ignored, resulting in
2170
          possibly having the instance running on two machines in

          template type.

2219
        <para>
2220
          The migration command needs a perfectly healthy instance, as
2221
          we rely on the dual-master capability of drbd8 and the disks
2222
          of the instance are not allowed to be degraded.

2225
        <para>
2226
          The <option>--non-live</option> option will switch (for the
2227
          hypervisors that support it) between a "fully live"
2228
          (i.e. the interruption is as minimal as possible) migration
2229
          and one in which the instance is frozen, its state saved and
2230
          transported to the remote node, and then resumed there. This
2231
          all depends on the hypervisor support for two different
2232
          methods. In any case, it is not an error to pass this
2233
          parameter (it will just be ignored if the hypervisor doesn't
2234
          support it).
2235
        </para>
2236

    
2237
        <para>
2238
          If the <option>--cleanup</option> option is passed, the
2239
          operation changes from migration to attempting recovery from
2240
          a failed previous migration. In this mode, ganeti checks if
2241
          the instance runs on the correct node (and updates its
2242
          configuration if not) and ensures the instances's disks are
2243
          configured correctly. In this mode, the
2244
          <option>--non-live</option> option is ignored.
2245
        </para>
2246

    
2247
        <para>
2248
          The option <option>-f</option> will skip the prompting for
2249
          confirmation.

          Example (and expected output):
2253
          <screen>
2254
# gnt-instance migrate instance1
2255
Migrate will happen to the instance instance1. Note that migration is
2256
**experimental** in this version. This might impact the instance if
2257
anything goes wrong. Continue?

          Move will move the instance to an arbitrary node in the
2288
          cluster. This works only for instances having a plain or

          file disk template.

          replace-disks for a drbd instance).

          The <option>--shutdown-timeout</option> is used to specify how
2300
          much time to wait before forcing the shutdown (xm destroy in xen,
2301
          killing the kvm process, for kvm). By default two minutes are
2302
          given to each instance to stop.
