DESCRIPTION
32
-----------
33

    
34
hroller is a cluster maintenance reboot scheduler. It can calculate
35
which set of nodes can be rebooted at the same time while avoiding
36
having both primary and secondary nodes being rebooted at the same time.
37

    
38
ALGORITHM FOR CALCULATING OFFLINE REBOOT GROUPS
39
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
40

    
41
hroller will view the nodes as vertices of an undirected graph,
42
connecting by instances which have both a primary and a secondary node.
43
It will then color the graph using a few different heuristics, and
44
return the minimum-size color set found. Node with the same color don't
45
share an edge, and as such don't have an instance with both primary and
46
secondary node on them, so they are safe to be rebooted concurrently.
47

    
48
OPTIONS
49
-------
50

    
51
Currently only standard htools options are supported. For a description of them
52
check **htools(7)** and **hbal(1)**.

BUGS
55
----
56

    
57
The master node should be always the last node of the last group, or anyway
58
somehow easily identifiable. Right now this is not done.
59

    
60
Offline nodes should be ignored.
61

    
62
Filtering by nodegroup should be allowed.
63

    
64
If instances are online the tool should refuse to do offline rolling
65
maintenances, unless explicitely requested.
66

    
67
End-to-end shelltests should be provided.
68

    
69
Online rolling maintenances (where instance need not be shut down, but
70
are migrated from node to node) are not supported yet. Hroller by design
71
should support them both with and without secondary node replacement.

Offline Rolling node reboot output
79
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
80

    
81
With the default options, the program shows one reboot group per line as
82
a comma-separated list.
