DESCRIPTION
15
-----------
16

  
17
The **gnt-os** is used for managing the list of available operating
18
system flavours for the instances in the Ganeti cluster.

COMMANDS
21
--------
22

  
23
**list**
24

  
25
Gives the list of available/supported OS to use in the instances.
26
When creating the instance you can give the OS-name as an option.
27

  
28
Note that hidden or blacklisted OSes are not displayed by this
29
command, use **diagnose** for showing those.
30

  
31
**diagnose**
32

  
33
This command will help you see why an installed OS is not available
34
in the cluster. The **list** command shows only the OS-es that the
35
cluster sees available on all nodes. It could be that some OS is
36
missing from a node, or is only partially installed, and this
37
command will show the details of all the OSes and the reasons they
38
are or are not valid.
39

  
40
**info**
41

  
42
This command will list detailed information about each OS available
43
in the cluster, including its validity status, the supported API
44
versions, the supported parameters (if any) and their
45
documentations, etc.
46

  
47
| **modify** [-H *HYPERVISOR*:option=*value*[,...]]
48
| [--hidden=*yes|no*] [--blacklisted=*yes|no*]
49
| {*OS*}
50

  
51
This command will allow you to modify OS parameters.
52

  
53
To modify the per-OS hypervisor parameters (which override the
54
global hypervisor parameters), you can run modify ``-H`` with the
55
same syntax as in **gnt-cluster init** to override default
56
hypervisor parameters of the cluster for specified *OS* argument.
57

  
58
To modify the hidden and blacklisted states of an OS, pass the options
59
``--hidden ``*yes|no*, or respectively ``--blacklisted ...``. The
60
'hidden' state means that an OS won't be listed by default in the OS
61
list, but is available for installation. The 'blacklisted' state means
62
that the OS is not listed and is also not allowed for new instance
63
creations (but can be used for reinstalling old instances).
64

  
65
Note: The given operating system doesn't have to exists. This allows
66
preseeding the settings for operating systems not yet known to
67
**gnt-os**.
