      The <command>&dhpackage;</command> is used for cluster-wide

      administration in the Ganeti system.

        <arg choice="req"

        rep="repeat"><replaceable>tag</replaceable></arg>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        Add tags to the cluster. If any of the tags contains invalid

        characters, the entire operation will abort.

      </para>

      <para>

        If the <option>--from</option> option is given, the list of

        tags will be extended with the contents of that file (each

        line becomes a tag). In this case, there is not need to pass

        tags on the command line (if you do, both sources will be

        used). A file name of - will be interpreted as stdin.

      </para>

      <title>COMMAND</title>

      <cmdsynopsis>

        <command>command</command>

        <arg>-n <replaceable>node</replaceable></arg>

        <arg choice="req"><replaceable>command</replaceable></arg>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        Executes a command on all nodes. If the option

        <option>-n</option> is not given, the command will be executed

        on all nodes, otherwise it will be executed only on the

        node(s) specified. Use the option multiple times for running

        it on multiple nodes, like:

        <screen>

          # gnt-cluster command -n node1.example.com -n node2.example.com date

        </screen>

      </para>

      <para>

        The command is executed serially on the selected nodes. If the

        master node is present in the list, the command will be

        executed last on the master. Regarding the other nodes, the

        execution order is somewhat alphabetic, so that

        node2.example.com will be earlier than node10.example.com but

        after node1.example.com.

      </para>

      <para>

        So given the node names node1, node2, node3, node10, node11,

        with node3 being the master, the order will be: node1, node2,

        node10, node11, node3.

      </para>

      <para>

        The command is constructed by concatenating all other command

        line arguments. For example, to list the contents of the

        <filename class="directory">/etc</filename> directory on all

        nodes, run:

        <screen>

          # gnt-cluster command ls -l /etc

        </screen>

        and the command which will be executed will be

        <computeroutput>"ls -l /etc"</computeroutput>

      </para>

        <arg>-n <replaceable>node</replaceable></arg>

        <arg choice="req"><replaceable>file</replaceable></arg>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        Copies a file to all or to some nodes. The argument specifies

        the source file (on the current system), the

        <option>-n</option> argument specifies the target node, or

        nodes if the option is given multiple times. If

        <option>-n</option> is not given at all, the file will be

        copied to all nodes.

        Passing the <option>--use-replication-network</option> option

        will cause the copy to be done over the replication network

        (only matters if the primary/secondary IPs are different).

        Example:

        <screen>

          # gnt-cluster -n node1.example.com -n node2.example.com copyfile /tmp/test

        </screen>

        This will copy the file <filename>/tmp/test</filename> from

        the current node to the two named nodes.

      <cmdsynopsis>

        <command>destroy</command>

        <arg choice="req">--yes-do-it</arg>

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        Remove all configuration files related to the cluster, so that

        a <command>gnt-cluster init</command> can be done again

        afterwards.

      </para>

      <para>

        Since this is a dangerous command, you are required to pass

        the argument <replaceable>--yes-do-it.</replaceable>

      <para>

        Shows runtime cluster information: cluster name, architecture

        (32 or 64 bit), master node, node list and instance list.

      </para>

      <para>

        Passing the <option>--roman</option> option gnt-cluster info will try

        to print its integer fields in a latin friendly way. This allows

        further diffusion of Ganeti among ancient cultures.

      </cmdsynopsis>

      <para>

        This commands is only run once initially on the first node of

        the cluster. It will initialize the cluster configuration and

        setup ssh-keys and more.

      </para>

      <para>

        Note that the <replaceable>clustername</replaceable> is not

        any random name. It has to be resolvable to an IP address

        using DNS, and it is best if you give the fully-qualified

        domain name. This hostname must resolve to an IP address

        reserved exclusively for this purpose.

      </para>

      <para>

        The cluster can run in two modes: single-home or

        dual-homed. In the first case, all traffic (both public

        traffic, inter-node traffic and data replication traffic) goes

        over the same interface. In the dual-homed case, the data

        replication traffic goes over the second network. The

        <option>-s</option> option here marks the cluster as

        dual-homed and its parameter represents this node's address on

        the second network. If you initialise the cluster with

        <option>-s</option>, all nodes added must have a secondary IP

        as well.

      </para>

      <para>

        Note that for Ganeti it doesn't matter if the secondary

        network is actually a separate physical network, or is done

        using tunneling, etc. For performance reasons, it's

        recommended to use a separate network, of course.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>-g</option> option will let you specify a volume group

        different than "xenvg" for Ganeti to use when creating instance disks.

        This volume group must have the same name on all nodes. Once the

        cluster is initialized this can be altered by using the

        <command>modify</command> command. If you don't want to use lvm

        storage at all use the <option>--no-lvm-storage</option> option.

        Once the cluster is initialized you can change this setup with the

        <command>modify</command> command.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--master-netdev</option> option is useful for specifying a

        different interface on which the master will activate its IP address.

        It's important that all nodes have this interface because you'll need

        it for a master failover.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>-m</option> option will let you specify a three byte prefix

        under which the virtual MAC addresses of your instances will be

        generated. The prefix must be specified in the format XX:XX:XX and the

        default is aa:00:00.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--no-lvm-storage</option> option allows you to initialize

        the cluster without lvm support. This means that only instances using

        files as storage backend will be possible to create. Once the cluster

        is initialized you can change this setup with the

        <command>modify</command> command.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--no-etc-hosts</option> option allows you to initialize the

        cluster without modifying the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--no-ssh-init</option> option allows you to initialize the

        cluster without creating or distributing SSH key pairs.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--file-storage-dir</option> option allows you

        set the directory to use for storing the instance disk

        files when using file storage as backend for instance disks.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--enabled-hypervisors</option> option allows you

        to set the list of hypervisors that will be enabled for

        this cluster. Instance hypervisors can only be chosen from

        the list of enabled hypervisors, and the first entry of this list

        will be used by default. Currently, the following hypervisors are

        available:

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>--prealloc-wipe-disks</option> sets a cluster wide

        configuration value for wiping disks prior to allocation. This

        increases security on instance level as the instance can't

        access untouched data from it's underlying storage.

        The option <option>--maintain-node-health</option> allows to

        enable/disable automatic maintenance actions on

        nodes. Currently these include automatic shutdown of instances

        and deactivation of DRBD devices on offline nodes; in the

        future it might be extended to automatic removal of unknown

        LVM volumes, etc.

      <para>

        The <option>--uid-pool</option> option initializes the user-id pool.

        The <replaceable>user-id pool definition</replaceable> can contain a

        list of user-ids and/or a list of user-id ranges. The parameter format

        is a comma-separated list of numeric user-ids or user-id ranges.

        The ranges are defined by a lower and higher boundary, separated

        by a dash. The boundaries are inclusive.

        If the <option>--uid-pool</option> option is not supplied, the

        user-id pool is initialized to an empty list. An empty list means that

        the user-id pool feature is disabled.

      </para>

      <para>

        The <option>-I (--default-iallocator)</option> option specifies the

        default instance allocator. The instance allocator will be used for

        operations like instance creation, instance and node migration, etc.

        when no manual override is specified. If this option is not specified,

        the default instance allocator will be blank, which means that relevant

        operations will require the administrator to manually specify either an

        instance allocator, or a set of nodes.

        The default iallocator can be changed later using the

        <command>modify</command> command.

      <para>

        The <option>--primary-ip-version</option> option specifies the

        node names and the cluster name.

      <para>

        The <option>--no-voting</option> option skips the remote node agreement

        checks. This is dangerous, but necessary in some cases (for example

        failing over the master role in a 2 node cluster with the original

        master down). If the original master then comes up, it won't be able to

        start its master daemon because it won't have enough votes, but so

        won't the new master, if the master daemon ever needs a restart. You

        can pass <option>--no-voting</option> to

        <command>ganeti-masterd</command> on the new master to solve this

        problem, and run <command>gnt-cluster redist-conf</command> to make

      <para>

        The option <option>--reserved-lvs</option> specifies a list

        (comma-separated) of logical volume group names (regular

        expressions) that will be ignored by the cluster verify

        operation. This is useful if the volume group used for Ganeti

        is shared with the system for other uses. Note that it's not

        recommended to create and mark as ignored logical volume names

        which match Ganeti's own name format (starting with UUID and

        then <literal>.diskN</literal>), as this option only skips the

        verification, but not the actual use of the names given.
