<para> |
49 |
The <command>&dhpackage;</command> is used for importing and exporting |
50 |
instances and their configuration from a ganeti system. It is useful for |
51 |
backing instances up and also to migrate them between clusters. |

<para> |
69 |
Exports an instance to the target node. All the instance data |
70 |
and its configuration will be exported under the |
71 |
/srv/ganeti/exports/<replaceable>instance</replaceable> |
72 |
directory on the target node. |
73 |
</para> |
74 |
|
75 |
<para> |
76 |
The <option>--noshutdown</option> option will create a |
77 |
snapshot disk of the instance without shutting it down first. |
78 |
While this is faster and involves no downtime, it cannot be |
79 |
guaranteed that the instance data will be in a consistent state |
80 |
in the exported dump. |

<para> |
114 |
Imports a new instance from an export residing on |
115 |
<replaceable>source-node</replaceable> in |
116 |
<replaceable>source-dir</replaceable>. |
117 |
<replaceable>instance</replaceable> must be in DNS and |
118 |
resolve to a IP in the same network as the nodes in the |
119 |
cluster. |
120 |
</para> |
121 |
|
122 |
<para> |
123 |
The <option>-s</option> option specifies the disk size for |
124 |
the instance, in mebibytes (defaults to |
125 |
<constant>20480MiB</constant> = |
126 |
<constant>20GiB</constant>). You can also use one of the |
127 |
suffixes <literal>m</literal>, <literal>g</literal> or |
128 |
<literal>t</literal> to specificy the exact the units used; |
129 |
these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes. |
130 |
</para> |
131 |
|
132 |
<para> |
133 |
The <option>-m</option> option specifies the memory size for |
134 |
the instance, in mebibytes (defaults to 128 MiB). |
135 |
</para> |
136 |
|
137 |
<para> |
138 |
The <option>-b</option> option specifies the bridge to which the |
139 |
instance will be connected. (defaults to the cluster-wide default |
140 |
bridge specified at cluster intialization time). |
141 |
</para> |
142 |
|
143 |
<para> |
144 |
The <option>-t</option> options specifies the disk layout type for |
145 |
the instance. The available choices are: |
146 |
<variablelist> |
147 |
<varlistentry> |
148 |
<term>diskless</term> |
149 |
<listitem> |
150 |
<para> |
151 |
This creates an instance with no disks. Its useful for |
152 |
testing only (or other special cases). |

174 |
<para> |
175 |
Disk devices will be md raid1 arrays with one |
176 |
component (so it's not actually raid1): a drbd (0.7.x) |
177 |
device between the instance's primary node and the |
178 |
node given by the second value of the |
179 |
<option>--node</option> option. |

<term>drbd</term> |
185 |
<listitem> |
186 |
<para> |
187 |
Disk devices will be drbd (version 8.x) on top of lvm |
188 |
volumes. They are equivalent in functionality to |
189 |
<replaceable>remote_raid1</replaceable>, but are |
190 |
recommended for new instances (if you have drbd 8.x |
191 |
installed). |

If you do not want gnt-backup to wait for the disk mirror |
200 |
to be synced, use the <option>--no-wait-for-sync</option> |
201 |
option. |
