Improvements and bugfixes |
20 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
21 |
|
22 |
- Support for kvm version 1.0, that changed the version reporting format |
23 |
(from 3 to 2 digits). |
24 |
|
25 |
|
26 |
Version 2.5.0 rc4 |
27 |
----------------- |
28 |
|
29 |
*(Released Thu, 27 Oct 2011)* |
30 |
|
31 |
Incompatible/important changes and bugfixes |
32 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
33 |
|
34 |
- The default of the ``/2/instances/[instance_name]/rename`` RAPI |
35 |
resource's ``ip_check`` parameter changed from ``True`` to ``False`` |
36 |
to match the underlying LUXI interface. |
37 |
- The ``/2/nodes/[node_name]/evacuate`` RAPI resource was changed to use |
38 |
body parameters, see :doc:`RAPI documentation <rapi>`. The server does |
39 |
not maintain backwards-compatibility as the underlying operation |
40 |
changed in an incompatible way. The RAPI client can talk to old |
41 |
servers, but it needs to be told so as the return value changed. |
42 |
- When creating file-based instances via RAPI, the ``file_driver`` |
43 |
parameter no longer defaults to ``loop`` and must be specified. |
44 |
- The deprecated ``bridge`` NIC parameter is no longer supported. Use |
45 |
``link`` instead. |
46 |
- Support for the undocumented and deprecated RAPI instance creation |
47 |
request format version 0 has been dropped. Use version 1, supported |
48 |
since Ganeti 2.1.3 and :doc:`documented <rapi>`, instead. |
49 |
- Pyparsing 1.4.6 or above is required, see :doc:`installation |
50 |
documentation <install>`. |
51 |
- The "cluster-verify" hooks are now executed per group by the |
52 |
``OP_CLUSTER_VERIFY_GROUP`` opcode. This maintains the same behavior |
53 |
if you just run ``gnt-cluster verify``, which generates one opcode per |
54 |
group. |
55 |
- The environment as passed to the OS scripts is cleared, and thus no |
56 |
environment variables defined in the node daemon's environment will be |
57 |
inherited by the scripts. |
58 |
- The :doc:`iallocator <iallocator>` mode ``multi-evacuate`` has been |
59 |
deprecated. |
60 |
- :doc:`New iallocator modes <design-multi-reloc>` have been added to |
61 |
support operations involving multiple node groups. |
62 |
- Offline nodes are ignored when failing over an instance. |
63 |
|
64 |
New features |
65 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
66 |
|
67 |
- The ganeti-htools project has been merged into the ganeti-core source |
68 |
tree and will be built as part of Ganeti (see :doc:`install-quick`). |
69 |
- Implemented support for :doc:`shared storage <design-shared-storage>`. |
70 |
- Add support for disks larger than 2 TB in ``lvmstrap`` by supporting |
71 |
GPT-style partition tables (requires `parted |
72 |
<http://www.gnu.org/s/parted/>`_). |
73 |
- Added support for floppy drive and 2nd CD-ROM drive in KVM hypervisor. |
74 |
- Allowed adding tags on instance creation. |
75 |
- Export instance tags to hooks (``INSTANCE_TAGS``, see :doc:`hooks`) |
76 |
- Allow instances to be started in a paused state, enabling the user to |
77 |
see the complete console output on boot using the console. |
78 |
- Added new hypervisor flag to control default reboot behaviour |
79 |
(``reboot_behavior``). |
80 |
- Added support for KVM keymaps (hypervisor parameter ``keymap``). |
81 |
- Improved out-of-band management support: |
82 |
|
83 |
- Added ``gnt-node health`` command reporting the health status of |
84 |
nodes. |
85 |
- Added ``gnt-node power`` command to manage power status of nodes. |
86 |
- Added command for emergency power-off (EPO), ``gnt-cluster epo``. |
87 |
|
88 |
- Instance migration can fall back to failover if instance is not |
89 |
running. |
90 |
- Filters can be used when listing nodes, instances, groups and locks; |
91 |
see *ganeti(7)* manpage. |
92 |
- Added post-execution status as variables to :doc:`hooks <hooks>` |
93 |
environment. |
94 |
- Instance tags are exported/imported together with the instance. |
95 |
- When given an explicit job ID, ``gnt-job info`` will work for archived |
96 |
jobs. |
97 |
- Jobs can define dependencies on other jobs (not yet supported via |
98 |
RAPI or command line, but used by internal commands and usable via |
99 |
LUXI). |
100 |
|
101 |
- Lock monitor (``gnt-debug locks``) shows jobs waiting for |
102 |
dependencies. |
103 |
|
104 |
- Instance failover is now available as a RAPI resource |
105 |
(``/2/instances/[instance_name]/failover``). |
106 |
- ``gnt-instance info`` defaults to static information if primary node |
107 |
is offline. |
108 |
- Opcodes have a new ``comment`` attribute. |
109 |
- Added basic SPICE support to KVM hypervisor. |
110 |
- ``tools/ganeti-listrunner`` allows passing of arguments to executable. |
111 |
|
112 |
Node group improvements |
113 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
114 |
|
115 |
- ``gnt-cluster verify`` has been modified to check groups separately, |
116 |
thereby improving performance. |
117 |
- Node group support has been added to ``gnt-cluster verify-disks``, |
118 |
which now operates per node group. |
119 |
- Watcher has been changed to work better with node groups. |
120 |
|
121 |
- One process and state file per node group. |
122 |
- Slow watcher in one group doesn't block other group's watcher. |
123 |
|
124 |
- Added new command, ``gnt-group evacuate``, to move all instances in a |
125 |
node group to other groups. |
126 |
- Added ``gnt-instance change-group`` to move an instance to another |
127 |
node group. |
128 |
- ``gnt-cluster command`` and ``gnt-cluster copyfile`` now support |
129 |
per-group operations. |
130 |
- Node groups can be tagged. |
131 |
- Some operations switch from an exclusive to a shared lock as soon as |
132 |
possible. |
133 |
- Instance's primary and secondary nodes' groups are now available as |
134 |
query fields (``pnode.group``, ``pnode.group.uuid``, ``snodes.group`` |
135 |
and ``snodes.group.uuid``). |
136 |
|
137 |
Misc |
138 |
~~~~ |
139 |
|
140 |
- Numerous updates to documentation and manpages. |
141 |
|
142 |
- :doc:`RAPI <rapi>` documentation now has detailed parameter |
143 |
descriptions. |
144 |
- Some opcode/job results are now also documented, see :doc:`RAPI |
145 |
<rapi>`. |
146 |
|
147 |
- A lockset's internal lock is now also visible in lock monitor. |
148 |
- Log messages from job queue workers now contain information about the |
149 |
opcode they're processing. |
150 |
- ``gnt-instance console`` no longer requires the instance lock. |
151 |
- A short delay when waiting for job changes reduces the number of LUXI |
152 |
requests significantly. |
153 |
- DRBD metadata volumes are overwritten with zeros during disk creation. |
154 |

233 |
|
234 |
Many bug-fixes and a few small features: |
235 |
|
236 |
- Fixed argument order in ``ReserveLV`` and ``ReserveMAC`` which caused |
237 |
issues when you tried to add an instance with two MAC addresses in one |
238 |
request |
239 |
- KVM: fixed per-instance stored UID value |
240 |
- KVM: configure bridged NICs at migration start |

- KVM: Fix a bug where instance will not start with never KVM versions |
242 |
(>= 0.14) |
243 |
- Added OS search path to ``gnt-cluster info`` |
244 |
- Fixed an issue with ``file_storage_dir`` where you were forced to |
245 |
provide an absolute path, but the documentation states it is a |
246 |
relative path, the documentation was right |
247 |
- Added a new parameter to instance stop/start called ``--no-remember`` |
248 |
that will make the state change to not be remembered |
249 |

|
265 |
Version 2.4.2 |
266 |
------------- |
267 |
|
268 |
*(Released Thu, 12 May 2011)* |
269 |
|
270 |
Many bug-fixes and a few new small features: |
271 |
|
272 |
- Fixed a bug related to log opening failures |
273 |
- Fixed a bug in instance listing with orphan instances |
274 |
- Fixed a bug which prevented resetting the cluster-level node parameter |
275 |
``oob_program`` to the default |
276 |
- Many fixes related to the ``cluster-merge`` tool |
277 |
- Fixed a race condition in the lock monitor, which caused failures |
278 |
during (at least) creation of many instances in parallel |
279 |
- Improved output for gnt-job info |
280 |
- Removed the quiet flag on some ssh calls which prevented debugging |
281 |
failures |
282 |
- Improved the N+1 failure messages in cluster verify by actually |
283 |
showing the memory values (needed and available) |
284 |
- Increased lock attempt timeouts so that when executing long operations |
285 |
(e.g. DRBD replace-disks) other jobs do not enter 'blocking acquire' |
286 |
too early and thus prevent the use of the 'fair' mechanism |
287 |
- Changed instance query data (``gnt-instance info``) to not acquire |
288 |
locks unless needed, thus allowing its use on locked instance if only |
289 |
static information is asked for |
290 |
- Improved behaviour with filesystems that do not support rename on an |
291 |
opened file |
292 |
- Fixed the behaviour of ``prealloc_wipe_disks`` cluster parameter which |
293 |
kept locks on all nodes during the wipe, which is unneeded |
294 |
- Fixed ``gnt-watcher`` handling of errors during hooks execution |
295 |
- Fixed bug in ``prealloc_wipe_disks`` with small disk sizes (less than |
296 |
10GiB) which caused the wipe to fail right at the end in some cases |
297 |
- Fixed master IP activation when doing master failover with no-voting |
298 |
- Fixed bug in ``gnt-node add --readd`` which allowed the re-adding of |
299 |
the master node itself |
300 |
- Fixed potential data-loss in under disk full conditions, where Ganeti |
301 |
wouldn't check correctly the return code and would consider |
302 |
partially-written files 'correct' |
303 |
- Fixed bug related to multiple VGs and DRBD disk replacing |
304 |
- Added new disk parameter ``metavg`` that allows placement of the meta |
305 |
device for DRBD in a different volume group |
306 |
- Fixed error handling in the node daemon when the system libc doesn't |
307 |
have major number 6 (i.e. if ``libc.so.6`` is not the actual libc) |
308 |
- Fixed lock release during replace-disks, which kept cluster-wide locks |
309 |
when doing disk replaces with an iallocator script |
310 |
- Added check for missing bridges in cluster verify |
311 |
- Handle EPIPE errors while writing to the terminal better, so that |
312 |
piping the output to e.g. ``less`` doesn't cause a backtrace |
313 |
- Fixed rare case where a ^C during Luxi calls could have been |
314 |
interpreted as server errors, instead of simply terminating |
315 |
- Fixed a race condition in LUGroupAssignNodes (``gnt-group |
316 |
assign-nodes``) |
317 |
- Added a few more parameters to the KVM hypervisor, allowing a second |
318 |
CDROM, custom disk type for CDROMs and a floppy image |
319 |
- Removed redundant message in instance rename when the name is given |
320 |
already as a FQDN |
321 |
- Added option to ``gnt-instance recreate-disks`` to allow creating the |
322 |
disks on new nodes, allowing recreation when the original instance |
323 |
nodes are completely gone |
324 |
- Added option when converting disk templates to DRBD to skip waiting |
325 |
for the resync, in order to make the instance available sooner |
326 |
- Added two new variables to the OS scripts environment (containing the |
327 |
instance's nodes) |
328 |
- Made the root_path and optional parameter for the xen-pvm hypervisor, |
329 |
to allow use of ``pvgrub`` as bootloader |
330 |
- Changed the instance memory modifications to only check out-of-memory |
331 |
conditions on memory increases, and turned the secondary node warnings |
332 |
into errors (they can still be overridden via ``--force``) |
333 |
- Fixed the handling of a corner case when the Python installation gets |
334 |
corrupted (e.g. a bad disk) while ganeti-noded is running and we try |
335 |
to execute a command that doesn't exist |
336 |
- Fixed a bug in ``gnt-instance move`` (LUInstanceMove) when the primary |
337 |
node of the instance returned failures during instance shutdown; this |
338 |
adds the option ``--ignore-consistency`` to gnt-instance move |
339 |
|
340 |
And as usual, various improvements to the error messages, documentation |
341 |
and man pages. |
342 |
|
343 |
|
344 |
Version 2.4.1 |
345 |
------------- |
346 |
|
347 |
*(Released Wed, 09 Mar 2011)* |
348 |
|
349 |
Emergency bug-fix release. ``tools/cfgupgrade`` was broken and overwrote |
350 |
the RAPI users file if run twice (even with ``--dry-run``). |
351 |
|
352 |
The release fixes that bug (nothing else changed). |
353 |
|
354 |
|
355 |
Version 2.4.0 |
356 |
------------- |
357 |
|
358 |
*(Released Mon, 07 Mar 2011)* |
359 |
|
360 |
Final 2.4.0 release. Just a few small fixes: |
361 |
|
362 |
- Fixed RAPI node evacuate |
363 |
- Fixed the kvm-ifup script |
364 |
- Fixed internal error handling for special job cases |
365 |
- Updated man page to specify the escaping feature for options |
366 |
|
367 |
|
368 |
Version 2.4.0 rc3 |
369 |
----------------- |
370 |
|
371 |
*(Released Mon, 28 Feb 2011)* |
372 |
|
373 |
A critical fix for the ``prealloc_wipe_disks`` feature: it is possible |
374 |
that this feature wiped the disks of the wrong instance, leading to loss |
375 |
of data. |
376 |
|
377 |
Other changes: |
378 |
|
379 |
- Fixed title of query field containing instance name |
380 |
- Expanded the glossary in the documentation |
381 |
- Fixed one unittest (internal issue) |
382 |
|
383 |
|
384 |
Version 2.4.0 rc2 |
385 |
----------------- |
386 |
|
387 |
*(Released Mon, 21 Feb 2011)* |
388 |
|
389 |
A number of bug fixes plus just a couple functionality changes. |
390 |
|
391 |
On the user-visible side, the ``gnt-* list`` command output has changed |
392 |
with respect to "special" field states. The current rc1 style of display |
393 |
can be re-enabled by passing a new ``--verbose`` (``-v``) flag, but in |
394 |
the default output mode special fields states are displayed as follows: |
395 |
|
396 |
- Offline resource: ``*`` |
397 |
- Unavailable/not applicable: ``-`` |
398 |
- Data missing (RPC failure): ``?`` |
399 |
- Unknown field: ``??`` |
400 |
|
401 |
Another user-visible change is the addition of ``--force-join`` to |
402 |
``gnt-node add``. |
403 |
|
404 |
As for bug fixes: |
405 |
|
406 |
- ``tools/cluster-merge`` has seen many fixes and is now enabled again |
407 |
- Fixed regression in RAPI/instance reinstall where all parameters were |
408 |
required (instead of optional) |
409 |
- Fixed ``gnt-cluster repair-disk-sizes``, was broken since Ganeti 2.2 |
410 |
- Fixed iallocator usage (offline nodes were not considered offline) |
411 |
- Fixed ``gnt-node list`` with respect to non-vm_capable nodes |
412 |
- Fixed hypervisor and OS parameter validation with respect to |
413 |
non-vm_capable nodes |
414 |
- Fixed ``gnt-cluster verify`` with respect to offline nodes (mostly |
415 |
cosmetic) |
416 |
- Fixed ``tools/listrunner`` with respect to agent-based usage |
417 |
|
418 |
|
419 |
Version 2.4.0 rc1 |
420 |
----------------- |
421 |
|
422 |
*(Released Fri, 4 Feb 2011)* |
423 |
|
424 |
Many changes and fixes since the beta1 release. While there were some |
425 |
internal changes, the code has been mostly stabilised for the RC |
426 |
release. |
427 |
|
428 |
Note: the dumb allocator was removed in this release, as it was not kept |
429 |
up-to-date with the IAllocator protocol changes. It is recommended to |
430 |
use the ``hail`` command from the ganeti-htools package. |
431 |
|
432 |
Note: the 2.4 and up versions of Ganeti are not compatible with the |
433 |
0.2.x branch of ganeti-htools. You need to upgrade to |
434 |
ganeti-htools-0.3.0 (or later). |
435 |
|
436 |
Regressions fixed from 2.3 |
437 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
438 |
|
439 |
- Fixed the ``gnt-cluster verify-disks`` command |
440 |
- Made ``gnt-cluster verify-disks`` work in parallel (as opposed to |
441 |
serially on nodes) |
442 |
- Fixed disk adoption breakage |
443 |
- Fixed wrong headers in instance listing for field aliases |
444 |
|
445 |
Other bugs fixed |
446 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
447 |
|
448 |
- Fixed corner case in KVM handling of NICs |
449 |
- Fixed many cases of wrong handling of non-vm_capable nodes |
450 |
- Fixed a bug where a missing instance symlink was not possible to |
451 |
recreate with any ``gnt-*`` command (now ``gnt-instance |
452 |
activate-disks`` does it) |
453 |
- Fixed the volume group name as reported by ``gnt-cluster |
454 |
verify-disks`` |
455 |
- Increased timeouts for the import-export code, hopefully leading to |
456 |
fewer aborts due network or instance timeouts |
457 |
- Fixed bug in ``gnt-node list-storage`` |
458 |
- Fixed bug where not all daemons were started on cluster |
459 |
initialisation, but only at the first watcher run |
460 |
- Fixed many bugs in the OOB implementation |
461 |
- Fixed watcher behaviour in presence of instances with offline |
462 |
secondaries |
463 |
- Fixed instance list output for instances running on the wrong node |
464 |
- a few fixes to the cluster-merge tool, but it still cannot merge |
465 |
multi-node groups (currently it is not recommended to use this tool) |
466 |
|
467 |

468 |
Improvements |
469 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
470 |
|
471 |
- Improved network configuration for the KVM hypervisor |
472 |
- Added e1000 as a supported NIC for Xen-HVM |
473 |
- Improved the lvmstrap tool to also be able to use partitions, as |
474 |
opposed to full disks |
475 |
- Improved speed of disk wiping (the cluster parameter |
476 |
``prealloc_wipe_disks``, so that it has a low impact on the total time |
477 |
of instance creations |
478 |
- Added documentation for the OS parameters |
479 |
- Changed ``gnt-instance deactivate-disks`` so that it can work if the |
480 |
hypervisor is not responding |
481 |
- Added display of blacklisted and hidden OS information in |
482 |
``gnt-cluster info`` |
483 |
- Extended ``gnt-cluster verify`` to also validate hypervisor, backend, |
484 |
NIC and node parameters, which might create problems with currently |
485 |
invalid (but undetected) configuration files, but prevents validation |
486 |
failures when unrelated parameters are modified |
487 |
- Changed cluster initialisation to wait for the master daemon to become |
488 |
available |
489 |
- Expanded the RAPI interface: |
490 |
|
491 |
- Added config redistribution resource |
492 |
- Added activation/deactivation of instance disks |
493 |
- Added export of console information |
494 |
|
495 |
- Implemented log file reopening on SIGHUP, which allows using |
496 |
logrotate(8) for the Ganeti log files |
497 |
- Added a basic OOB helper script as an example |
498 |
|
499 |
|

Version 2.4.0 beta1 |
501 |
------------------- |
502 |
|
503 |
*(Released Fri, 14 Jan 2011)* |
504 |
|
505 |
User-visible |
506 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
507 |
|
508 |
- Fixed timezone issues when formatting timestamps |
509 |
- Added support for node groups, available via ``gnt-group`` and other |
510 |
commands |
511 |
- Added out-of-band framework and management, see :doc:`design |
512 |
document <design-oob>` |
513 |
- Removed support for roman numbers from ``gnt-node list`` and |
514 |
``gnt-instance list``. |
515 |
- Allowed modification of master network interface via ``gnt-cluster |
516 |
modify --master-netdev`` |
517 |
- Accept offline secondaries while shutting down instance disks |
518 |
- Added ``blockdev_prefix`` parameter to Xen PVM and HVM hypervisors |
519 |
- Added support for multiple LVM volume groups |
520 |
- Avoid sorting nodes for ``gnt-node list`` if specific nodes are |
521 |
requested |
522 |
- Added commands to list available fields: |
523 |
|
524 |
- ``gnt-node list-fields`` |
525 |
- ``gnt-group list-fields`` |
526 |
- ``gnt-instance list-fields`` |
527 |
|
528 |
- Updated documentation and man pages |
529 |
|
530 |
Integration |
531 |
~~~~~~~~~~~ |
532 |
|
533 |
- Moved ``rapi_users`` file into separate directory, now named |
534 |
``.../ganeti/rapi/users``, ``cfgupgrade`` moves the file and creates a |
535 |
symlink |
536 |
- Added new tool for running commands on many machines, |
537 |
``tools/ganeti-listrunner`` |
538 |
- Implemented more verbose result in ``OpInstanceConsole`` opcode, also |
539 |
improving the ``gnt-instance console`` output |
540 |
- Allowed customisation of disk index separator at ``configure`` time |
541 |
- Export node group allocation policy to :doc:`iallocator <iallocator>` |
542 |
- Added support for non-partitioned md disks in ``lvmstrap`` |
543 |
- Added script to gracefully power off KVM instances |
544 |
- Split ``utils`` module into smaller parts |
545 |
- Changed query operations to return more detailed information, e.g. |
546 |
whether an information is unavailable due to an offline node. To use |
547 |
this new functionality, the LUXI call ``Query`` must be used. Field |
548 |
information is now stored by the master daemon and can be retrieved |
549 |
using ``QueryFields``. Instances, nodes and groups can also be queried |
550 |
using the new opcodes ``OpQuery`` and ``OpQueryFields`` (not yet |
551 |
exposed via RAPI). The following commands make use of this |
552 |
infrastructure change: |
553 |
|
554 |
- ``gnt-group list`` |
555 |
- ``gnt-group list-fields`` |
556 |
- ``gnt-node list`` |
557 |
- ``gnt-node list-fields`` |
558 |
- ``gnt-instance list`` |
559 |
- ``gnt-instance list-fields`` |
560 |
- ``gnt-debug locks`` |
561 |
|
562 |
Remote API |
563 |
~~~~~~~~~~ |
564 |
|
565 |
- New RAPI resources (see :doc:`rapi`): |
566 |
|
567 |
- ``/2/modify`` |
568 |
- ``/2/groups`` |
569 |
- ``/2/groups/[group_name]`` |
570 |
- ``/2/groups/[group_name]/assign-nodes`` |
571 |
- ``/2/groups/[group_name]/modify`` |
572 |
- ``/2/groups/[group_name]/rename`` |
573 |
- ``/2/instances/[instance_name]/disk/[disk_index]/grow`` |
574 |
|
575 |
- RAPI changes: |
576 |
|
577 |
- Implemented ``no_install`` for instance creation |
578 |
- Implemented OS parameters for instance reinstallation, allowing |
579 |
use of special settings on reinstallation (e.g. for preserving data) |
580 |
|
581 |
Misc |
582 |
~~~~ |
583 |
|
584 |

778 |
Version 2.2.0 rc0 |
779 |
----------------- |
780 |
|
781 |
*(Released Fri, 30 Jul 2010)* |
782 |
|
783 |
Important change: the internal RPC mechanism between Ganeti nodes has |
784 |
changed from using a home-grown http library (based on the Python base |
785 |
libraries) to use the PycURL library. This requires that PycURL is |
786 |
installed on nodes. Please note that on Debian/Ubuntu, PycURL is linked |
787 |
against GnuTLS by default. cURL's support for GnuTLS had known issues |
788 |
before cURL 7.21.0 and we recommend using the latest cURL release or |
789 |
linking against OpenSSL. Most other distributions already link PycURL |
790 |
and cURL against OpenSSL. The command:: |
791 |
|
792 |
python -c 'import pycurl; print pycurl.version' |
793 |
|
794 |
can be used to determine the libraries PycURL and cURL are linked |
795 |
against. |
796 |
|
797 |
Other significant changes: |
798 |
|
799 |
- Rewrote much of the internals of the job queue, in order to achieve |
800 |
better parallelism; this decouples job query operations from the job |
801 |
processing, and it should allow much nicer behaviour of the master |
802 |
daemon under load, and it also has uncovered some long-standing bugs |
803 |
related to the job serialisation (now fixed) |
804 |
- Added a default iallocator setting to the cluster parameters, |
805 |
eliminating the need to always pass nodes or an iallocator for |
806 |
operations that require selection of new node(s) |
807 |
- Added experimental support for the LXC virtualization method |
808 |
- Added support for OS parameters, which allows the installation of |
809 |
instances to pass parameter to OS scripts in order to customise the |
810 |
instance |
811 |
- Added a hypervisor parameter controlling the migration type (live or |
812 |
non-live), since hypervisors have various levels of reliability; this |
813 |
has renamed the 'live' parameter to 'mode' |
814 |
- Added a cluster parameter ``reserved_lvs`` that denotes reserved |
815 |
logical volumes, meaning that cluster verify will ignore them and not |
816 |
flag their presence as errors |
817 |
- The watcher will now reset the error count for failed instances after |
818 |
8 hours, thus allowing self-healing if the problem that caused the |
819 |
instances to be down/fail to start has cleared in the meantime |
820 |
- Added a cluster parameter ``drbd_usermode_helper`` that makes Ganeti |
821 |
check for, and warn, if the drbd module parameter ``usermode_helper`` |
822 |
is not consistent with the cluster-wide setting; this is needed to |
823 |
make diagnose easier of failed drbd creations |
824 |
- Started adding base IPv6 support, but this is not yet |
825 |
enabled/available for use |
826 |
- Rename operations (cluster, instance) will now return the new name, |
827 |
which is especially useful if a short name was passed in |
828 |
- Added support for instance migration in RAPI |
829 |
- Added a tool to pre-configure nodes for the SSH setup, before joining |
830 |
them to the cluster; this will allow in the future a simplified model |
831 |
for node joining (but not yet fully enabled in 2.2); this needs the |
832 |
paramiko python library |
833 |
- Fixed handling of name-resolving errors |
834 |
- Fixed consistency of job results on the error path |
835 |
- Fixed master-failover race condition when executed multiple times in |
836 |
sequence |
837 |
- Fixed many bugs related to the job queue (mostly introduced during the |
838 |
2.2 development cycle, so not all are impacting 2.1) |
839 |
- Fixed instance migration with missing disk symlinks |
840 |
- Fixed handling of unknown jobs in ``gnt-job archive`` |
841 |
- And many other small fixes/improvements |
842 |
|
843 |
Internal changes: |
844 |
|
845 |
- Enhanced both the unittest and the QA coverage |
846 |
- Switched the opcode validation to a generic model, and extended the |
847 |
validation to all opcode parameters |
848 |
- Changed more parts of the code that write shell scripts to use the |
849 |
same class for this |
850 |
- Switched the master daemon to use the asyncore library for the Luxi |
851 |
server endpoint |
852 |
|
853 |
|
854 |
Version 2.2.0 beta0 |
855 |
------------------- |
856 |
|
857 |
*(Released Thu, 17 Jun 2010)* |
858 |
|
859 |
- Added tool (``move-instance``) and infrastructure to move instances |
860 |
between separate clusters (see :doc:`separate documentation |
861 |
<move-instance>` and :doc:`design document <design-2.2>`) |
862 |
- Added per-request RPC timeout |
863 |
- RAPI now requires a Content-Type header for requests with a body (e.g. |
864 |
``PUT`` or ``POST``) which must be set to ``application/json`` (see |
865 |
:rfc:`2616` (HTTP/1.1), section 7.2.1) |
866 |
- ``ganeti-watcher`` attempts to restart ``ganeti-rapi`` if RAPI is not |
867 |
reachable |
868 |
- Implemented initial support for running Ganeti daemons as separate |
869 |
users, see configure-time flags ``--with-user-prefix`` and |
870 |
``--with-group-prefix`` (only ``ganeti-rapi`` is supported at this |
871 |
time) |
872 |
- Instances can be removed after export (``gnt-backup export |
873 |
--remove-instance``) |
874 |
- Self-signed certificates generated by Ganeti now use a 2048 bit RSA |
875 |
key (instead of 1024 bit) |
876 |
- Added new cluster configuration file for cluster domain secret |
877 |
- Import/export now use SSL instead of SSH |
878 |
- Added support for showing estimated time when exporting an instance, |
879 |
see the ``ganeti-os-interface(7)`` manpage and look for |
880 |
``EXP_SIZE_FD`` |
881 |
|
882 |
|
883 |
Version 2.1.8 |
884 |
------------- |
885 |

|
900 |
*(Released Tue, 24 Aug 2010)* |
901 |
|
902 |
Bugfixes only: |
903 |
- Don't ignore secondary node silently on non-mirrored disk templates |
904 |
(issue 113) |
905 |
- Fix --master-netdev arg name in gnt-cluster(8) (issue 114) |
906 |
- Fix usb_mouse parameter breaking with vnc_console (issue 109) |
907 |
- Properly document the usb_mouse parameter |
908 |
- Fix path in ganeti-rapi(8) (issue 116) |
909 |
- Adjust error message when the ganeti user's .ssh directory is |
910 |
missing |
911 |
- Add same-node-check when changing the disk template to drbd |
912 |
|

Version 2.1.6 |
915 |
------------- |
916 |
|
917 |
*(Released Fri, 16 Jul 2010)* |
918 |
|
919 |
Bugfixes only: |
920 |
- Add an option to only select some reboot types during qa/burnin. |
921 |
(on some hypervisors consequent reboots are not supported) |
922 |
- Fix infrequent race condition in master failover. Sometimes the old |
923 |
master ip address would be still detected as up for a short time |
924 |
after it was removed, causing failover to fail. |
925 |
- Decrease mlockall warnings when the ctypes module is missing. On |
926 |
Python 2.4 we support running even if no ctypes module is installed, |
927 |
but we were too verbose about this issue. |
928 |
- Fix building on old distributions, on which man doesn't have a |
929 |
--warnings option. |
930 |
- Fix RAPI not to ignore the MAC address on instance creation |
931 |
- Implement the old instance creation format in the RAPI client. |
932 |

A small bugfix release: |
940 |
- Fix disk adoption: broken by strict --disk option checking in 2.1.4 |
941 |
- Fix batch-create: broken in the whole 2.1 series due to a lookup on |
942 |
a non-existing option |
943 |
- Fix instance create: the --force-variant option was ignored |
944 |
- Improve pylint 0.21 compatibility and warnings with Python 2.6 |
945 |
- Fix modify node storage with non-FQDN arguments |
946 |
- Fix RAPI client to authenticate under Python 2.6 when used |
947 |
for more than 5 requests needing authentication |
948 |
- Fix gnt-instance modify -t (storage) giving a wrong error message |
949 |
when converting a non-shutdown drbd instance to plain |
950 |

|
957 |
A small bugfix release: |
958 |
|
959 |
- Fix live migration of KVM instances started with older Ganeti |
960 |
versions which had fewer hypervisor parameters |
961 |
- Fix gnt-instance grow-disk on down instances |
962 |
- Fix an error-reporting bug during instance migration |
963 |
- Better checking of the ``--net`` and ``--disk`` values, to avoid |
964 |
silently ignoring broken ones |
965 |
- Fix an RPC error reporting bug affecting, for example, RAPI client |
966 |
users |
967 |
- Fix bug triggered by different API version os-es on different nodes |
968 |
- Fix a bug in instance startup with custom hvparams: OS level |
969 |
parameters would fail to be applied. |
970 |
- Fix the RAPI client under Python 2.6 (but more work is needed to |
971 |
make it work completely well with OpenSSL) |
972 |
- Fix handling of errors when resolving names from DNS |
973 |

Version 2.1.3 |
976 |
------------- |
977 |
|
978 |
*(Released Thu, 3 Jun 2010)* |
979 |
|
980 |
A medium sized development cycle. Some new features, and some |
981 |
fixes/small improvements/cleanups. |
982 |
|
983 |
Significant features |
984 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
985 |
|
986 |
The node deamon now tries to mlock itself into memory, unless the |
987 |
``--no-mlock`` flag is passed. It also doesn't fail if it can't write |
988 |
its logs, and falls back to console logging. This allows emergency |
989 |
features such as ``gnt-node powercycle`` to work even in the event of a |
990 |
broken node disk (tested offlining the disk hosting the node's |
991 |
filesystem and dropping its memory caches; don't try this at home) |
992 |
|
993 |
KVM: add vhost-net acceleration support. It can be tested with a new |
994 |
enough version of the kernel and of qemu-kvm. |
995 |
|
996 |
KVM: Add instance chrooting feature. If you use privilege dropping for |
997 |
your VMs you can also now force them to chroot to an empty directory, |
998 |
before starting the emulated guest. |
999 |
|
1000 |
KVM: Add maximum migration bandwith and maximum downtime tweaking |
1001 |
support (requires a new-enough version of qemu-kvm). |
1002 |
|
1003 |
Cluster verify will now warn if the master node doesn't have the master |
1004 |
ip configured on it. |
1005 |
|
1006 |
Add a new (incompatible) instance creation request format to RAPI which |
1007 |
supports all parameters (previously only a subset was supported, and it |
1008 |
wasn't possible to extend the old format to accomodate all the new |
1009 |
features. The old format is still supported, and a client can check for |
1010 |
this feature, before using it, by checking for its presence in the |
1011 |
``features`` RAPI resource. |
1012 |
|
1013 |
Now with ancient latin support. Try it passing the ``--roman`` option to |
1014 |
``gnt-instance info``, ``gnt-cluster info`` or ``gnt-node list`` |
1015 |
(requires the python-roman module to be installed, in order to work). |
1016 |
|
1017 |
Other changes |
1018 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
1019 |
|
1020 |
As usual many internal code refactorings, documentation updates, and |
1021 |
such. Among others: |
1022 |
|
1023 |
- Lots of improvements and cleanups to the experimental Remote API |
1024 |
(RAPI) client library. |
1025 |
- A new unit test suite for the core daemon libraries. |
1026 |
- A fix to creating missing directories makes sure the umask is not |
1027 |
applied anymore. This enforces the same directory permissions |
1028 |
everywhere. |
1029 |
- Better handling terminating daemons with ctrl+c (used when running |
1030 |
them in debugging mode). |
1031 |
- Fix a race condition in live migrating a KVM instance, when stat() |
1032 |
on the old proc status file returned EINVAL, which is an unexpected |
1033 |
value. |
1034 |
- Fixed manpage checking with newer man and utf-8 charachters. But now |
1035 |
you need the en_US.UTF-8 locale enabled to build Ganeti from git. |
1036 |
|
1037 |
|
1038 |
Version 2.1.2.1 |
1039 |
--------------- |
1040 |
|
1041 |
*(Released Fri, 7 May 2010)* |
1042 |
|
1043 |
Fix a bug which prevented untagged KVM instances from starting. |
1044 |
|
1045 |
|
1046 |
Version 2.1.2 |
1047 |
------------- |
1048 |
|
1049 |
*(Released Fri, 7 May 2010)* |
1050 |
|
1051 |
Another release with a long development cycle, during which many |
1052 |
different features were added. |
1053 |
|
1054 |
Significant features |
1055 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
1056 |
|
1057 |
The KVM hypervisor now can run the individual instances as non-root, to |
1058 |
reduce the impact of a VM being hijacked due to bugs in the |
1059 |
hypervisor. It is possible to run all instances as a single (non-root) |
1060 |
user, to manually specify a user for each instance, or to dynamically |
1061 |
allocate a user out of a cluster-wide pool to each instance, with the |
1062 |
guarantee that no two instances will run under the same user ID on any |
1063 |
given node. |
1064 |
|
1065 |
An experimental RAPI client library, that can be used standalone |
1066 |
(without the other Ganeti libraries), is provided in the source tree as |
1067 |
``lib/rapi/client.py``. Note this client might change its interface in |
1068 |
the future, as we iterate on its capabilities. |
1069 |
|
1070 |
A new command, ``gnt-cluster renew-crypto`` has been added to easily |
1071 |
replace the cluster's certificates and crypto keys. This might help in |
1072 |
case they have been compromised, or have simply expired. |
1073 |
|
1074 |
A new disk option for instance creation has been added that allows one |
1075 |
to "adopt" currently existing logical volumes, with data |
1076 |
preservation. This should allow easier migration to Ganeti from |
1077 |
unmanaged (or managed via other software) instances. |
1078 |
|
1079 |
Another disk improvement is the possibility to convert between redundant |
1080 |
(DRBD) and plain (LVM) disk configuration for an instance. This should |
1081 |
allow better scalability (starting with one node and growing the |
1082 |
cluster, or shrinking a two-node cluster to one node). |
1083 |
|
1084 |
A new feature that could help with automated node failovers has been |
1085 |
implemented: if a node sees itself as offline (by querying the master |
1086 |
candidates), it will try to shutdown (hard) all instances and any active |
1087 |
DRBD devices. This reduces the risk of duplicate instances if an |
1088 |
external script automatically failovers the instances on such nodes. To |
1089 |
enable this, the cluster parameter ``maintain_node_health`` should be |
1090 |
enabled; in the future this option (per the name) will enable other |
1091 |
automatic maintenance features. |
1092 |
|
1093 |
Instance export/import now will reuse the original instance |
1094 |
specifications for all parameters; that means exporting an instance, |
1095 |
deleting it and the importing it back should give an almost identical |
1096 |
instance. Note that the default import behaviour has changed from |
1097 |
before, where it created only one NIC; now it recreates the original |
1098 |
number of NICs. |
1099 |
|
1100 |
Cluster verify has added a few new checks: SSL certificates validity, |
1101 |
/etc/hosts consistency across the cluster, etc. |
1102 |
|
1103 |
Other changes |
1104 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
1105 |
|
1106 |
As usual, many internal changes were done, documentation fixes, |
1107 |
etc. Among others: |
1108 |
|
1109 |
- Fixed cluster initialization with disabled cluster storage (regression |
1110 |
introduced in 2.1.1) |
1111 |
- File-based storage supports growing the disks |
1112 |
- Fixed behaviour of node role changes |
1113 |
- Fixed cluster verify for some corner cases, plus a general rewrite of |
1114 |
cluster verify to allow future extension with more checks |
1115 |
- Fixed log spamming by watcher and node daemon (regression introduced |
1116 |
in 2.1.1) |
1117 |
- Fixed possible validation issues when changing the list of enabled |
1118 |
hypervisors |
1119 |
- Fixed cleanup of /etc/hosts during node removal |
1120 |
- Fixed RAPI response for invalid methods |
1121 |
- Fixed bug with hashed passwords in ``ganeti-rapi`` daemon |
1122 |
- Multiple small improvements to the KVM hypervisor (VNC usage, booting |
1123 |
from ide disks, etc.) |
1124 |
- Allow OS changes without re-installation (to record a changed OS |
1125 |
outside of Ganeti, or to allow OS renames) |
1126 |
- Allow instance creation without OS installation (useful for example if |
1127 |
the OS will be installed manually, or restored from a backup not in |
1128 |
Ganeti format) |
1129 |
- Implemented option to make cluster ``copyfile`` use the replication |
1130 |
network |
1131 |
- Added list of enabled hypervisors to ssconf (possibly useful for |
1132 |
external scripts) |
1133 |
- Added a new tool (``tools/cfgupgrade12``) that allows upgrading from |
1134 |
1.2 clusters |
1135 |
- A partial form of node re-IP is possible via node readd, which now |
1136 |
allows changed node primary IP |
1137 |
- Command line utilities now show an informational message if the job is |
1138 |
waiting for a lock |
1139 |
- The logs of the master daemon now show the PID/UID/GID of the |
1140 |
connected client |
1141 |
|
1142 |
|
1143 |
Version 2.1.1 |
1144 |
------------- |
1145 |
|
1146 |
*(Released Fri, 12 Mar 2010)* |
1147 |
|
1148 |
During the 2.1.0 long release candidate cycle, a lot of improvements and |
1149 |
changes have accumulated with were released later as 2.1.1. |
1150 |
|
1151 |
Major changes |
1152 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
1153 |
|
1154 |
The node evacuate command (``gnt-node evacuate``) was significantly |
1155 |
rewritten, and as such the IAllocator protocol was changed - a new |
1156 |
request type has been added. This unfortunate change during a stable |
1157 |
series is designed to improve performance of node evacuations; on |
1158 |
clusters with more than about five nodes and which are well-balanced, |
1159 |
evacuation should proceed in parallel for all instances of the node |
1160 |
being evacuated. As such, any existing IAllocator scripts need to be |
1161 |
updated, otherwise the above command will fail due to the unknown |
1162 |
request. The provided "dumb" allocator has not been updated; but the |
1163 |
ganeti-htools package supports the new protocol since version 0.2.4. |
1164 |
|
1165 |
Another important change is increased validation of node and instance |
1166 |
names. This might create problems in special cases, if invalid host |
1167 |
names are being used. |
1168 |
|
1169 |
Also, a new layer of hypervisor parameters has been added, that sits at |
1170 |
OS level between the cluster defaults and the instance ones. This allows |
1171 |
customisation of virtualization parameters depending on the installed |
1172 |
OS. For example instances with OS 'X' may have a different KVM kernel |
1173 |
(or any other parameter) than the cluster defaults. This is intended to |
1174 |
help managing a multiple OSes on the same cluster, without manual |
1175 |
modification of each instance's parameters. |
1176 |
|
1177 |
A tool for merging clusters, ``cluster-merge``, has been added in the |
1178 |
tools sub-directory. |
1179 |
|
1180 |
Bug fixes |
1181 |
~~~~~~~~~ |
1182 |
|
1183 |
- Improved the int/float conversions that should make the code more |
1184 |
robust in face of errors from the node daemons |
1185 |
- Fixed the remove node code in case of internal configuration errors |
1186 |
- Fixed the node daemon behaviour in face of inconsistent queue |
1187 |
directory (e.g. read-only file-system where we can't open the files |
1188 |
read-write, etc.) |
1189 |
- Fixed the behaviour of gnt-node modify for master candidate demotion; |
1190 |
now it either aborts cleanly or, if given the new "auto_promote" |
1191 |
parameter, will automatically promote other nodes as needed |
1192 |
- Fixed compatibility with (unreleased yet) Python 2.6.5 that would |
1193 |
completely prevent Ganeti from working |
1194 |
- Fixed bug for instance export when not all disks were successfully |
1195 |
exported |
1196 |
- Fixed behaviour of node add when the new node is slow in starting up |
1197 |
the node daemon |
1198 |
- Fixed handling of signals in the LUXI client, which should improve |
1199 |
behaviour of command-line scripts |
1200 |
- Added checks for invalid node/instance names in the configuration (now |
1201 |
flagged during cluster verify) |
1202 |
- Fixed watcher behaviour for disk activation errors |
1203 |
- Fixed two potentially endless loops in http library, which led to the |
1204 |
RAPI daemon hanging and consuming 100% CPU in some cases |
1205 |
- Fixed bug in RAPI daemon related to hashed passwords |
1206 |
- Fixed bug for unintended qemu-level bridging of multi-NIC KVM |
1207 |
instances |
1208 |
- Enhanced compatibility with non-Debian OSes, but not using absolute |
1209 |
path in some commands and allowing customisation of the ssh |
1210 |
configuration directory |
1211 |
- Fixed possible future issue with new Python versions by abiding to the |
1212 |
proper use of ``__slots__`` attribute on classes |
1213 |
- Added checks that should prevent directory traversal attacks |
1214 |
- Many documentation fixes based on feedback from users |
1215 |
|
1216 |
New features |
1217 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
1218 |
|
1219 |
- Added an "early_release" more for instance replace disks and node |
1220 |
evacuate, where we release locks earlier and thus allow higher |
1221 |
parallelism within the cluster |
1222 |
- Added watcher hooks, intended to allow the watcher to restart other |
1223 |
daemons (e.g. from the ganeti-nbma project), but they can be used of |
1224 |
course for any other purpose |
1225 |
- Added a compile-time disable for DRBD barriers, to increase |
1226 |
performance if the administrator trusts the power supply or the |
1227 |
storage system to not lose writes |
1228 |
- Added the option of using syslog for logging instead of, or in |
1229 |
addition to, Ganeti's own log files |
1230 |
- Removed boot restriction for paravirtual NICs for KVM, recent versions |
1231 |
can indeed boot from a paravirtual NIC |
1232 |
- Added a generic debug level for many operations; while this is not |
1233 |
used widely yet, it allows one to pass the debug value all the way to |
1234 |
the OS scripts |
1235 |
- Enhanced the hooks environment for instance moves (failovers, |
1236 |
migrations) where the primary/secondary nodes changed during the |
1237 |
operation, by adding {NEW,OLD}_{PRIMARY,SECONDARY} vars |
1238 |
- Enhanced data validations for many user-supplied values; one important |
1239 |
item is the restrictions imposed on instance and node names, which |
1240 |
might reject some (invalid) host names |
1241 |
- Add a configure-time option to disable file-based storage, if it's not |
1242 |
needed; this allows greater security separation between the master |
1243 |
node and the other nodes from the point of view of the inter-node RPC |
1244 |
protocol |
1245 |
- Added user notification in interactive tools if job is waiting in the |
1246 |
job queue or trying to acquire locks |
1247 |
- Added log messages when a job is waiting for locks |
1248 |
- Added filtering by node tags in instance operations which admit |
1249 |
multiple instances (start, stop, reboot, reinstall) |
1250 |
- Added a new tool for cluster mergers, ``cluster-merge`` |
1251 |
- Parameters from command line which are of the form ``a=b,c=d`` can now |
1252 |
use backslash escapes to pass in values which contain commas, |
1253 |
e.g. ``a=b\\c,d=e`` where the 'a' parameter would get the value |
1254 |
``b,c`` |
1255 |
- For KVM, the instance name is the first parameter passed to KVM, so |
1256 |
that it's more visible in the process list |
1257 |
|
1258 |
|
1259 |
Version 2.1.0 |
1260 |
------------- |
1261 |
|
1262 |
*(Released Tue, 2 Mar 2010)* |
1263 |
|
1264 |
Ganeti 2.1 brings many improvements with it. Major changes: |
1265 |
|
1266 |
- Added infrastructure to ease automated disk repairs |
1267 |
- Added new daemon to export configuration data in a cheaper way than |
1268 |
using the remote API |
1269 |
- Instance NICs can now be routed instead of being associated with a |
1270 |
networking bridge |
1271 |
- Improved job locking logic to reduce impact of jobs acquiring multiple |
1272 |
locks waiting for other long-running jobs |
1273 |
|
1274 |
In-depth implementation details can be found in the Ganeti 2.1 design |
1275 |
document. |
1276 |

1308 |
(``ssconf_master_candidates_ips``), node primary IP address |
1309 |
(``ssconf_node_primary_ips``) and node secondary IP address |
1310 |
(``ssconf_node_secondary_ips``) |
1311 |
- Added ``ganeti-confd`` and a client library to query the Ganeti |
1312 |
configuration via UDP |
1313 |
- Added ability to run hooks after cluster initialization and before |
1314 |

1324 |
- Added new job status field ``lock_status`` |
1325 |
- Added parseable error codes to cluster verification (``gnt-cluster |
1326 |

1328 |
- Added UUIDs to the main config entities (cluster, nodes, instances) |
1329 |
- Added support for OS variants |
1330 |
- Added support for hashed passwords in the Ganeti remote API users file |
1331 |
(``rapi_users``) |
1332 |
- Added option to specify maximum timeout on instance shutdown |
1333 |
- Added ``--no-ssh-init`` option to ``gnt-cluster init`` |
1334 |
- Added new helper script to start and stop Ganeti daemons |
1335 |
(``daemon-util``), with the intent to reduce the work necessary to |
1336 |
adjust Ganeti for non-Debian distributions and to start/stop daemons |
1337 |
from one place |
1338 |
- Added more unittests |
1339 |
- Fixed critical bug in ganeti-masterd startup |
1340 |
- Removed the configure-time ``kvm-migration-port`` parameter, this is |
1341 |
now customisable at the cluster level for both the KVM and Xen |
1342 |
hypervisors using the new ``migration_port`` parameter |
1343 |
- Pass ``INSTANCE_REINSTALL`` variable to OS installation script when |
1344 |

- Improved job locking logic to reduce lock contention |
1355 |
- Match instance and node names case insensitively |
1356 |
- Reimplemented bash completion script to be more complete |
1357 |

|
1374 |
*(Released Thu, 17 Dec 2009)* |
1375 |

1377 |
allows local and remote execution of arbitrary executables |
1378 |
- Fix failure of gnt-node list during instance removal |
1379 |
- Ship the RAPI documentation in the archive |
1380 |
|

Version 2.0.4 |
1383 |
------------- |
1384 |
|
1385 |
*(Released Wed, 30 Sep 2009)* |
1386 |
|
1387 |

1395 |
Debian) |
1396 |
- Fixed handling of drained nodes in the iallocator framework |
1397 |
- Fixed handling of KERNEL_PATH parameter for xen-hvm (Debian bug |
1398 |
#528618) |
1399 |
- Fixed error related to invalid job IDs in job polling |
1400 |
- Fixed job/opcode persistence on unclean master shutdown |
1401 |
- Fixed handling of partial job processing after unclean master |
1402 |
shutdown |
1403 |
- Fixed error reporting from LUs, previously all errors were converted |
1404 |
into execution errors |
1405 |
- Fixed error reporting from burnin |
1406 |
- Decreased significantly the memory usage of the job queue |
1407 |
- Optimised slightly multi-job submission |
1408 |
- Optimised slightly opcode loading |
1409 |
- Backported the multi-job submit framework from the development |
1410 |
branch; multi-instance start and stop should be faster |
1411 |
- Added script to clean archived jobs after 21 days; this will reduce |
1412 |
the size of the queue directory |
1413 |
- Added some extra checks in disk size tracking |
1414 |
- Added an example ethers hook script |
1415 |
- Added a cluster parameter that prevents Ganeti from modifying of |
1416 |
/etc/hosts |
1417 |
- Added more node information to RAPI responses |
1418 |
- Added a ``gnt-job watch`` command that allows following the ouput of a |

1426 |
|
1427 |
Version 2.0.3 |
1428 |
------------- |
1429 |
|
1430 |
*(Released Fri, 7 Aug 2009)* |
1431 |
|
1432 |
- Added ``--ignore-size`` to the ``gnt-instance activate-disks`` command |
1433 |
to allow using the pre-2.0.2 behaviour in activation, if any existing |
1434 |
instances have mismatched disk sizes in the configuration |
1435 |
- Added ``gnt-cluster repair-disk-sizes`` command to check and update |
1436 |
any configuration mismatches for disk sizes |
1437 |
- Added ``gnt-master cluste-failover --no-voting`` to allow master |
1438 |
failover to work on two-node clusters |
1439 |
- Fixed the ``--net`` option of ``gnt-backup import``, which was |
1440 |
unusable |
1441 |
- Fixed detection of OS script errors in ``gnt-backup export`` |
1442 |
- Fixed exit code of ``gnt-backup export`` |
1443 |
|
1444 |
|
1445 |
Version 2.0.2 |
1446 |
------------- |
1447 |
|
1448 |
*(Released Fri, 17 Jul 2009)* |
1449 |
|
1450 |
- Added experimental support for stripped logical volumes; this should |
1451 |
enhance performance but comes with a higher complexity in the block |
1452 |
device handling; stripping is only enabled when passing |
1453 |
``--with-lvm-stripecount=N`` to ``configure``, but codepaths are |
1454 |
affected even in the non-stripped mode |
1455 |
- Improved resiliency against transient failures at the end of DRBD |
1456 |
resyncs, and in general of DRBD resync checks |
1457 |
- Fixed a couple of issues with exports and snapshot errors |
1458 |
- Fixed a couple of issues in instance listing |
1459 |
- Added display of the disk size in ``gnt-instance info`` |
1460 |
- Fixed checking for valid OSes in instance creation |
1461 |
- Fixed handling of the "vcpus" parameter in instance listing and in |
1462 |
general of invalid parameters |
1463 |
- Fixed http server library, and thus RAPI, to handle invalid |
1464 |
username/password combinations correctly; this means that now they |
1465 |
report unauthorized for queries too, not only for modifications, |
1466 |
allowing earlier detect of configuration problems |
1467 |
- Added a new "role" node list field, equivalent to the master/master |
1468 |
candidate/drained/offline flags combinations |
1469 |
- Fixed cluster modify and changes of candidate pool size |
1470 |
- Fixed cluster verify error messages for wrong files on regular nodes |
1471 |
- Fixed a couple of issues with node demotion from master candidate role |
1472 |
- Fixed node readd issues |
1473 |
- Added non-interactive mode for ``ganeti-masterd --no-voting`` startup |
1474 |
- Added a new ``--no-voting`` option for masterfailover to fix failover |
1475 |
on two-nodes clusters when the former master node is unreachable |
1476 |
- Added instance reinstall over RAPI |
1477 |
|
1478 |
|
1479 |
Version 2.0.1 |
1480 |
------------- |
1481 |
|
1482 |
*(Released Tue, 16 Jun 2009)* |
1483 |
|
1484 |
- added ``-H``/``-B`` startup parameters to ``gnt-instance``, which will |
1485 |
allow re-adding the start in single-user option (regression from 1.2) |
1486 |
- the watcher writes the instance status to a file, to allow monitoring |
1487 |
to report the instance status (from the master) based on cached |
1488 |
results of the watcher's queries; while this can get stale if the |
1489 |
watcher is being locked due to other work on the cluster, this is |
1490 |
still an improvement |
1491 |
- the watcher now also restarts the node daemon and the rapi daemon if |
1492 |
they died |
1493 |
- fixed the watcher to handle full and drained queue cases |
1494 |
- hooks export more instance data in the environment, which helps if |
1495 |
hook scripts need to take action based on the instance's properties |
1496 |
(no longer need to query back into ganeti) |
1497 |
- instance failovers when the instance is stopped do not check for free |
1498 |
RAM, so that failing over a stopped instance is possible in low memory |
1499 |
situations |
1500 |
- rapi uses queries for tags instead of jobs (for less job traffic), and |
1501 |
for cluster tags it won't talk to masterd at all but read them from |
1502 |
ssconf |
1503 |
- a couple of error handling fixes in RAPI |
1504 |
- drbd handling: improved the error handling of inconsistent disks after |
1505 |
resync to reduce the frequency of "there are some degraded disks for |
1506 |
this instance" messages |
1507 |
- fixed a bug in live migration when DRBD doesn't want to reconnect (the |
1508 |
error handling path called a wrong function name) |
1509 |
|
1510 |
|
1511 |
Version 2.0.0 |
1512 |
------------- |
1513 |
|
1514 |
*(Released Wed, 27 May 2009)* |
1515 |
|
1516 |
- no changes from rc5 |
1517 |
|
1518 |

1519 |
Version 2.0 rc5 |
1520 |
--------------- |
1521 |
|
1522 |
*(Released Wed, 20 May 2009)* |
1523 |
|
1524 |
- fix a couple of bugs (validation, argument checks) |
1525 |
- fix ``gnt-cluster getmaster`` on non-master nodes (regression) |
1526 |
- some small improvements to RAPI and IAllocator |
1527 |
- make watcher automatically start the master daemon if down |
1528 |
|
1529 |
|
1530 |
Version 2.0 rc4 |
1531 |
--------------- |
1532 |
|
1533 |
*(Released Mon, 27 Apr 2009)* |
1534 |
|
1535 |
- change the OS list to not require locks; this helps with big clusters |
1536 |
- fix ``gnt-cluster verify`` and ``gnt-cluster verify-disks`` when the |
1537 |
volume group is broken |
1538 |
- ``gnt-instance info``, without any arguments, doesn't run for all |
1539 |
instances anymore; either pass ``--all`` or pass the desired |
1540 |
instances; this helps against mistakes on big clusters where listing |
1541 |
the information for all instances takes a long time |
1542 |
- miscellaneous doc and man pages fixes |
1543 |
|
1544 |
|
1545 |
Version 2.0 rc3 |
1546 |
--------------- |
1547 |
|
1548 |
*(Released Wed, 8 Apr 2009)* |
1549 |
|
1550 |
- Change the internal locking model of some ``gnt-node`` commands, in |
1551 |
order to reduce contention (and blocking of master daemon) when |
1552 |
batching many creation/reinstall jobs |
1553 |
- Fixes to Xen soft reboot |
1554 |
- No longer build documentation at build time, instead distribute it in |
1555 |
the archive, in order to reduce the need for the whole docbook/rst |
1556 |
toolchains |
1557 |
|
1558 |
|
1559 |
Version 2.0 rc2 |
1560 |
--------------- |
1561 |
|
1562 |
*(Released Fri, 27 Mar 2009)* |
1563 |
|
1564 |
- Now the cfgupgrade scripts works and can upgrade 1.2.7 clusters to 2.0 |
1565 |
- Fix watcher startup sequence, improves the behaviour of busy clusters |
1566 |
- Some other fixes in ``gnt-cluster verify``, ``gnt-instance |
1567 |
replace-disks``, ``gnt-instance add``, ``gnt-cluster queue``, KVM VNC |
1568 |
bind address and other places |
1569 |
- Some documentation fixes and updates |
1570 |
|
1571 |
|
1572 |
Version 2.0 rc1 |
1573 |
--------------- |
1574 |
|
1575 |
*(Released Mon, 2 Mar 2009)* |
1576 |
|
1577 |
- More documentation updates, now all docs should be more-or-less |
1578 |
up-to-date |
1579 |
- A couple of small fixes (mixed hypervisor clusters, offline nodes, |
1580 |
etc.) |
1581 |
- Added a customizable HV_KERNEL_ARGS hypervisor parameter (for Xen PVM |
1582 |
and KVM) |
1583 |
- Fix an issue related to $libdir/run/ganeti and cluster creation |
1584 |
|
1585 |
|
1586 |
Version 2.0 beta2 |
1587 |
----------------- |
1588 |
|
1589 |
*(Released Thu, 19 Feb 2009)* |
1590 |
|
1591 |
- Xen PVM and KVM have switched the default value for the instance root |
1592 |
disk to the first partition on the first drive, instead of the whole |
1593 |
drive; this means that the OS installation scripts must be changed |
1594 |
accordingly |
1595 |
- Man pages have been updated |
1596 |
- RAPI has been switched by default to HTTPS, and the exported functions |
1597 |
should all work correctly |
1598 |
- RAPI v1 has been removed |
1599 |
- Many improvements to the KVM hypervisor |
1600 |
- Block device errors are now better reported |
1601 |
- Many other bugfixes and small improvements |
1602 |
|
1603 |
|
1604 |
Version 2.0 beta1 |
1605 |
----------------- |
1606 |
|
1607 |
*(Released Mon, 26 Jan 2009)* |
1608 |
|
1609 |
- Version 2 is a general rewrite of the code and therefore the |
1610 |
differences are too many to list, see the design document for 2.0 in |
1611 |
the ``doc/`` subdirectory for more details |
1612 |
- In this beta version there is not yet a migration path from 1.2 (there |
1613 |
will be one in the final 2.0 release) |
1614 |
- A few significant changes are: |
1615 |
|
1616 |
- all commands are executed by a daemon (``ganeti-masterd``) and the |
1617 |
various ``gnt-*`` commands are just front-ends to it |
1618 |
- all the commands are entered into, and executed from a job queue, |
1619 |
see the ``gnt-job(8)`` manpage |
1620 |
- the RAPI daemon supports read-write operations, secured by basic |
1621 |
HTTP authentication on top of HTTPS |
1622 |
- DRBD version 0.7 support has been removed, DRBD 8 is the only |
1623 |
supported version (when migrating from Ganeti 1.2 to 2.0, you need |
1624 |
to migrate to DRBD 8 first while still running Ganeti 1.2) |
1625 |
- DRBD devices are using statically allocated minor numbers, which |
1626 |
will be assigned to existing instances during the migration process |
1627 |
- there is support for both Xen PVM and Xen HVM instances running on |
1628 |
the same cluster |
1629 |
- KVM virtualization is supported too |
1630 |
- file-based storage has been implemented, which means that it is |
1631 |
possible to run the cluster without LVM and DRBD storage, for |
1632 |
example using a shared filesystem exported from shared storage (and |
1633 |
still have live migration) |
1634 |
|
1635 |
|
1636 |
Version 1.2.7 |
1637 |
------------- |
1638 |
|
1639 |
*(Released Tue, 13 Jan 2009)* |
1640 |
|
1641 |
- Change the default reboot type in ``gnt-instance reboot`` to "hard" |
1642 |
- Reuse the old instance mac address by default on instance import, if |
1643 |
the instance name is the same. |
1644 |
- Handle situations in which the node info rpc returns incomplete |
1645 |
results (issue 46) |
1646 |
- Add checks for tcp/udp ports collisions in ``gnt-cluster verify`` |
1647 |
- Improved version of batcher: |
1648 |
|
1649 |
- state file support |
1650 |
- instance mac address support |
1651 |
- support for HVM clusters/instances |
1652 |
|
1653 |
- Add an option to show the number of cpu sockets and nodes in |
1654 |
``gnt-node list`` |
1655 |
- Support OSes that handle more than one version of the OS api (but do |
1656 |
not change the current API in any other way) |
1657 |
- Fix ``gnt-node migrate`` |
1658 |
- ``gnt-debug`` man page |
1659 |
- Fixes various more typos and small issues |
1660 |
- Increase disk resync maximum speed to 60MB/s (from 30MB/s) |
1661 |
|
1662 |
|
1663 |
Version 1.2.6 |
1664 |
------------- |
1665 |
|
1666 |
*(Released Wed, 24 Sep 2008)* |
1667 |
|
1668 |
- new ``--hvm-nic-type`` and ``--hvm-disk-type`` flags to control the |
1669 |
type of disk exported to fully virtualized instances. |
1670 |
- provide access to the serial console of HVM instances |
1671 |
- instance auto_balance flag, set by default. If turned off it will |
1672 |
avoid warnings on cluster verify if there is not enough memory to fail |
1673 |
over an instance. in the future it will prevent automatically failing |
1674 |
it over when we will support that. |
1675 |
- batcher tool for instance creation, see ``tools/README.batcher`` |
1676 |
- ``gnt-instance reinstall --select-os`` to interactively select a new |
1677 |
operating system when reinstalling an instance. |
1678 |
- when changing the memory amount on instance modify a check has been |
1679 |
added that the instance will be able to start. also warnings are |
1680 |
emitted if the instance will not be able to fail over, if auto_balance |
1681 |
is true. |
1682 |
- documentation fixes |
1683 |
- sync fields between ``gnt-instance list/modify/add/import`` |
1684 |
- fix a race condition in drbd when the sync speed was set after giving |
1685 |
the device a remote peer. |
1686 |
|
1687 |
|
1688 |
Version 1.2.5 |
1689 |
------------- |
1690 |
|
1691 |
*(Released Tue, 22 Jul 2008)* |
1692 |
|
1693 |
- note: the allowed size and number of tags per object were reduced |
1694 |
- fix a bug in ``gnt-cluster verify`` with inconsistent volume groups |
1695 |
- fixed twisted 8.x compatibility |
1696 |
- fixed ``gnt-instance replace-disks`` with iallocator |
1697 |
- add TCP keepalives on twisted connections to detect restarted nodes |
1698 |
- disk increase support, see ``gnt-instance grow-disk`` |
1699 |
- implement bulk node/instance query for RAPI |
1700 |
- add tags in node/instance listing (optional) |
1701 |
- experimental migration (and live migration) support, read the man page |
1702 |
for ``gnt-instance migrate`` |
1703 |
- the ``ganeti-watcher`` logs are now timestamped, and the watcher also |
1704 |
has some small improvements in handling its state file |
1705 |
|
1706 |
|
1707 |
Version 1.2.4 |
1708 |
------------- |
1709 |
|
1710 |
*(Released Fri, 13 Jun 2008)* |
1711 |
|
1712 |
- Experimental readonly, REST-based remote API implementation; |
1713 |
automatically started on master node, TCP port 5080, if enabled by |
1714 |
``--enable-rapi`` parameter to configure script. |
1715 |
- Instance allocator support. Add and import instance accept a |
1716 |
``--iallocator`` parameter, and call that instance allocator to decide |
1717 |
which node to use for the instance. The iallocator document describes |
1718 |
what's expected from an allocator script. |
1719 |
- ``gnt-cluster verify`` N+1 memory redundancy checks: Unless passed the |
1720 |
``--no-nplus1-mem`` option ``gnt-cluster verify`` now checks that if a |
1721 |
node is lost there is still enough memory to fail over the instances |
1722 |
that reside on it. |
1723 |
- ``gnt-cluster verify`` hooks: it is now possible to add post-hooks to |
1724 |
``gnt-cluster verify``, to check for site-specific compliance. All the |
1725 |
hooks will run, and their output, if any, will be displayed. Any |
1726 |
failing hook will make the verification return an error value. |
1727 |
- ``gnt-cluster verify`` now checks that its peers are reachable on the |
1728 |
primary and secondary interfaces |
1729 |
- ``gnt-node add`` now supports the ``--readd`` option, to readd a node |
1730 |
that is still declared as part of the cluster and has failed. |
1731 |
- ``gnt-* list`` commands now accept a new ``-o +field`` way of |
1732 |
specifying output fields, that just adds the chosen fields to the |
1733 |
default ones. |
1734 |
- ``gnt-backup`` now has a new ``remove`` command to delete an existing |
1735 |
export from the filesystem. |
1736 |
- New per-instance parameters hvm_acpi, hvm_pae and hvm_cdrom_image_path |
1737 |
have been added. Using them you can enable/disable acpi and pae |
1738 |
support, and specify a path for a cd image to be exported to the |
1739 |
instance. These parameters as the name suggest only work on HVM |
1740 |
clusters. |
1741 |
- When upgrading an HVM cluster to Ganeti 1.2.4, the values for ACPI and |
1742 |
PAE support will be set to the previously hardcoded values, but the |
1743 |
(previously hardcoded) path to the CDROM ISO image will be unset and |
1744 |
if required, needs to be set manually with ``gnt-instance modify`` |
1745 |
after the upgrade. |
1746 |
- The address to which an instance's VNC console is bound is now |
1747 |
selectable per-instance, rather than being cluster wide. Of course |
1748 |
this only applies to instances controlled via VNC, so currently just |
1749 |
applies to HVM clusters. |
