49 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | The <command>&dhpackage;</command> is a periodically run script |
50 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | which is responsible for keeping the instances in the correct |
51 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | status. |
52 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | </para> |
53 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | |
54 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | <para> |
55 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | Its primary function is to try to keep running all instances |
56 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | which are marked as <emphasis>up</emphasis> in the configuration |
57 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | file, by trying to start them a limited number of times. |

59 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | |
60 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | <para> |
61 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | Its other function is to <quote>repair</quote> DRBD links by |
62 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | reactivating the block devices of instances which have |
63 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | secondaries on nodes that have been rebooted. |

65 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | |
66 | 320d986d | Iustin Pop | <para> |
67 | 320d986d | Iustin Pop | The watcher does synchronous queries but will submit jobs for |
68 | 320d986d | Iustin Pop | executing the changes. Due to locking, it could be that the jobs |
69 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | execute much later than the watcher executes them. |
70 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | </para> |
71 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | |
72 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | <para> |
73 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | The command has a state file located at |
74 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | <filename>@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/ganeti/watcher.data</filename> and a log |
75 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | file at |
76 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | <filename>@LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/ganeti/watcher.log</filename>. Removal of |
77 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | either file will not affect correct operation; the removal of |
78 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | the state file will just cause the restart counters for the |
79 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | instances to reset to zero. |
