1
Version 1.2.1
2
  - experimental HVM support, read the install document, section
3
    "Initializing the cluster"
4
  - allow for the PVM hypervisor per-instance kernel and initrd paths
5
  - add a new command ‘gnt-cluster verify-disks’ which uses a new
6
    algorithm to improve the reconnection of the DRBD pairs if the
7
    device on the secondary node has gone away
8
  - make logical volume code auto-activate LVs at disk activation time
9
  - slightly improve the speed of activating disks
10
  - allow specification of the MAC address at instance creation time,
11
    and changing it later via ‘gnt-instance modify’
12
  - fix handling of external commands that generate lots of output on
13
    stderr
14
  - update documentation with regard to minimum version of DRBD8
15
    supported
16

    
17
Version 1.2.0
18
  - Log the ‘xm create’ output to the node daemon log on failure (to
19
    help diagnosing the error)
20
  - In debug mode, log all external commands output if failed to the
21
    logs
22
  - Change parsing of lvm commands to ignore stderr
23

    
24
Version 1.2b3
25
  - Another round of updates to the DRBD 8 code to deal with more
26
    failures in the replace secondary node operation
27
  - Some more logging of failures in disk operations (lvm, drbd)
28
  - A few documentation updates
29
  - QA updates
30

    
31
Version 1.2b2
32
  - Change configuration file format from Python's Pickle to JSON.
33
    Upgrading is possible using the cfgupgrade utility.
34
  - Add support for DRBD 8.0 (new disk template `drbd`) which allows for
35
    faster replace disks and is more stable (DRBD 8 has many
36
    improvements compared to DRBD 0.7)
37
  - Added command line tags support (see man pages for gnt-instance,
38
    gnt-node, gnt-cluster)
39
  - Added instance rename support
40
  - Added multi-instance startup/shutdown
41
  - Added cluster rename support
42
  - Added `gnt-node evacuate` to simplify some node operations
43
  - Added instance reboot operation that can speedup reboot as compared
44
    to stop and start
45
  - Soften the requirement that hostnames are in FQDN format
46
  - The ganeti-watcher now activates drbd pairs after secondary node
47
    reboots
48
  - Removed dependency on debian's patched fping that uses the
49
    non-standard -S option
50
  - Now the OS definitions are searched for in multiple, configurable
51
    paths (easier for distros to package)
52
  - Some changes to the hooks infrastructure (especially the new
53
    post-configuration update hook)
54
  - Other small bugfixes
