        It's now time to install the Ganeti software itself. You can

        do it from source, with the usual steps (note that the

        <option>localstatedir</option> options must be set to

        <filename class="directory">/var</filename>):

      </para>

mkdir /srv/ganeti/ /srv/ganeti/os /srv/ganeti/export

      <para>

        You also need to copy from the source archive the file

        <filename>docs/examples/ganeti.initd</filename> to

        <filename>/etc/init.d/ganeti</filename> and register it into

        your distribution's startup scripts, for example in Debian:

      <screen>update-rc.d ganeti defaults 20 80</screen>

        If the node's network interface which will be used for access

        from outside the cluster is not named

        <hardware>xen-br0</hardware>, you need to use the

        <option>--master-netdev=<replaceable>IFNAME</replaceable></option>

        option, replacing <replaceable>IFNAME</replaceable> with the

        correct one for your case (e.g. <hardware>xenbr0</hardware>,

        <hardware>eth0</hardware>, etc.). Usually this will be the

        same as the default bridge name (see below).

        Other options you can pass to <command>gnt-cluster

        init</command> include the default bridge name

        (<option>-b</option>), the cluster-wide name for the volume

        group (<option>-g</option>) and the secondary ip address for

        the initial node should you wish to keep the data replication

        network separate. Invoke it with <option>--help</option> to

        see all the possibilities.

        for a cluster, even if it consists of only one machine, as you

        will be able to expand it later without any problem.
