gnt-cluster(8) Ganeti | Version @GANETI_VERSION@

================================================

Name

----

gnt-cluster - Ganeti administration, cluster-wide

Synopsis

--------

**gnt-cluster** {command} [arguments...]

DESCRIPTION

-----------

The **gnt-cluster** is used for cluster-wide administration in the

Ganeti system.

COMMANDS

--------

ACTIVATE-MASTER-IP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**activate-master-ip**

Activates the master IP on the master node.

COMMAND

~~~~~~~

**command** [-n *node*] [-g *group*] [-M] {*command*}

Executes a command on all nodes. This command is designed for simple

usage. For more complex use cases the commands **dsh**\(1) or **cssh**\(1)

should be used instead.

If the option ``-n`` 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::

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

The ``-g`` option can be used to run a command only on a specific node

group, e.g.::

    # gnt-cluster command -g default date

The ``-M`` option can be used to prepend the node name to all output

lines. The ``--failure-only`` option hides successful commands, making

it easier to see failures.

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.

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

node3 being the master, the order will be: node1, node2, node10,

node11, node3.

The command is constructed by concatenating all other command line

arguments. For example, to list the contents of the /etc directory

on all nodes, run::

    # gnt-cluster command ls -l /etc

and the command which will be executed will be ``ls -l /etc``.

COPYFILE

~~~~~~~~

| **copyfile** [\--use-replication-network] [-n *node*] [-g *group*]

| {*file*}

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

source file (on the current system), the ``-n`` argument specifies

the target node, or nodes if the option is given multiple times. If

``-n`` is not given at all, the file will be copied to all nodes. The

``-g`` option can be used to only select nodes in a specific node group.

Passing the ``--use-replication-network`` option will cause the

copy to be done over the replication network (only matters if the

primary/secondary IPs are different). Example::

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

This will copy the file /tmp/test from the current node to the two

named nodes.

DEACTIVATE-MASTER-IP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**deactivate-master-ip** [\--yes]

Deactivates the master IP on the master node.

This should be run only locally or on a connection to the node ip

directly, as a connection to the master ip will be broken by this

operation. Because of this risk it will require user confirmation

unless the ``--yes`` option is passed.

DESTROY

~~~~~~~

**destroy** {\--yes-do-it}

Remove all configuration files related to the cluster, so that a

**gnt-cluster init** can be done again afterwards.

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

argument *\--yes-do-it.*

EPO

~~~

**epo** [\--on] [\--groups|\--all] [\--power-delay] *arguments*

Performs an emergency power-off on nodes given as arguments. If

``--groups`` is given, arguments are node groups. If ``--all`` is

provided, the whole cluster will be shut down.

The ``--on`` flag recovers the cluster after an emergency power-off.

When powering on the cluster you can use ``--power-delay`` to define the

time in seconds (fractions allowed) waited between powering on

individual nodes.

Please note that the master node will not be turned down or up

automatically.  It will just be left in a state, where you can manully

perform the shutdown of that one node. If the master is in the list of

affected nodes and this is not a complete cluster emergency power-off

(e.g. using ``--all``), you're required to do a master failover to

another node not affected.

GETMASTER

~~~~~~~~~

**getmaster**

Displays the current master node.

INFO

~~~~

**info** [\--roman]

Shows runtime cluster information: cluster name, architecture (32

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

Passing the ``--roman`` 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.

SHOW-ISPECS-CMD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**show-ispecs-cmd**

Shows the command line that can be used to recreate the cluster with the

same options relative to specs in the instance policies.

| {*clustername*}

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

cluster. It will initialize the cluster configuration, setup the

ssh-keys, start the daemons on the master node, etc. in order to have

a working one-node cluster.

Note that the *clustername* 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, i.e. not already in

use.

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 ``-s (--secondary-ip)`` 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 ``-s``, all nodes

added must have a secondary IP as well.

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.

The ``--vg-name`` 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

**modify** command. Note that if the volume group name is modified after

the cluster creation and DRBD support is enabled you might have to

manually modify the metavg as well.

If you don't want to use lvm storage at all use

the ``--enabled-disk-templates`` option to restrict the set of enabled

disk templates. Once the cluster is initialized

you can change this setup with the **modify** command.

The ``--master-netdev`` 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.

The ``--master-netmask`` option allows to specify a netmask for the

master IP. The netmask must be specified as an integer, and will be

interpreted as a CIDR netmask. The default value is 32 for an IPv4

address and 128 for an IPv6 address.

The ``--use-external-mip-script`` option allows to specify whether to

use an user-supplied master IP address setup script, whose location is

``@SYSCONFDIR@/ganeti/scripts/master-ip-setup``. If the option value is

set to False, the default script (located at

``@PKGLIBDIR@/tools/master-ip-setup``) will be executed.

The ``-m (--mac-prefix)`` 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``.

The ``--no-etc-hosts`` option allows you to initialize the cluster

without modifying the /etc/hosts file.

The ``--no-ssh-init`` option allows you to initialize the cluster

without creating or distributing SSH key pairs.

The ``--file-storage-dir``, ``--shared-file-storage-dir`` and

``--gluster-storage-dir`` options allow you set the directory to use for

storing the instance disk files when using respectively the file storage

backend, the shared file storage backend and the gluster storage

backend. Note that these directories must be an allowed directory for

file storage. Those directories are specified in the

``@SYSCONFDIR@/ganeti/file-storage-paths`` file.

The file storage directory can also be a subdirectory of an allowed one.

The file storage directory should be present on all nodes.

The ``--prealloc-wipe-disks`` sets a cluster wide configuration value

for wiping disks prior to allocation and size changes (``gnt-instance

grow-disk``). This increases security on instance level as the instance

can't access untouched data from its underlying storage.

The ``--enabled-hypervisors`` 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:

xen-pvm

    Xen PVM hypervisor

xen-hvm

    Xen HVM hypervisor

kvm

    Linux KVM hypervisor

chroot

    a simple chroot manager that starts chroot based on a script at the

    root of the filesystem holding the chroot

fake

    fake hypervisor for development/testing

Either a single hypervisor name or a comma-separated list of

hypervisor names can be specified. If this option is not specified,

only the xen-pvm hypervisor is enabled by default.

The ``-H (--hypervisor-parameters)`` option allows you to set default

hypervisor specific parameters for the cluster. The format of this

option is the name of the hypervisor, followed by a colon and a

comma-separated list of key=value pairs. The keys available for each

hypervisors are detailed in the **gnt-instance**\(8) man page, in the

**add** command plus the following parameters which are only

configurable globally (at cluster level):

migration\_port

    Valid for the Xen PVM and KVM hypervisors.

    This options specifies the TCP port to use for live-migration. For

    Xen, the same port should be configured on all nodes in the

    ``@XEN_CONFIG_DIR@/xend-config.sxp`` file, under the key

    "xend-relocation-port".

migration\_bandwidth

    Valid for the KVM hypervisor.

    This option specifies the maximum bandwidth that KVM will use for

    instance live migrations. The value is in MiB/s.

    This option is only effective with kvm versions >= 78 and qemu-kvm

    versions >= 0.10.0.

The ``-B (--backend-parameters)`` option allows you to set the default

backend parameters for the cluster. The parameter format is a

comma-separated list of key=value pairs with the following supported

keys:

vcpus

    Number of VCPUs to set for an instance by default, must be an

    integer, will be set to 1 if no specified.

maxmem

    Maximum amount of memory to allocate for an instance by default, can

    be either an integer or an integer followed by a unit (M for

    mebibytes and G for gibibytes are supported), will be set to 128M if

    not specified.

minmem

    Minimum amount of memory to allocate for an instance by default, can

    be either an integer or an integer followed by a unit (M for

    mebibytes and G for gibibytes are supported), will be set to 128M if

    not specified.

auto\_balance

    Value of the auto\_balance flag for instances to use by default,

    will be set to true if not specified.

always\_failover

    Default value for the ``always_failover`` flag for instances; if

    not set, ``False`` is used.

The ``-N (--nic-parameters)`` option allows you to set the default

network interface parameters for the cluster. The parameter format is a

comma-separated list of key=value pairs with the following supported

keys:

mode

    The default NIC mode, one of ``routed``, ``bridged`` or

    ``openvswitch``.

link

    In ``bridged`` or ``openvswitch`` mode the default interface where

    to attach NICs. In ``routed`` mode it represents an

    hypervisor-vif-script dependent value to allow different instance

    groups. For example under the KVM default network script it is

    interpreted as a routing table number or name. Openvswitch support

    is also hypervisor dependent and currently works for the default KVM

    network script. Under Xen a custom network script must be provided.

The ``-D (--disk-parameters)`` option allows you to set the default disk

template parameters at cluster level. The format used for this option is

similar to the one use by the  ``-H`` option: the disk template name

must be specified first, followed by a colon and by a comma-separated

list of key-value pairs. These parameters can only be specified at

cluster and node group level; the cluster-level parameter are inherited

by the node group at the moment of its creation, and can be further

modified at node group level using the **gnt-group**\(8) command.

The following is the list of disk parameters available for the **drbd**

template, with measurement units specified in square brackets at the end

of the description (when applicable):

resync-rate

    Static re-synchronization rate. [KiB/s]

data-stripes

    Number of stripes to use for data LVs.

meta-stripes

    Number of stripes to use for meta LVs.

disk-barriers

    What kind of barriers to **disable** for disks. It can either assume

    the value "n", meaning no barrier disabled, or a non-empty string

    containing a subset of the characters "bfd". "b" means disable disk

    barriers, "f" means disable disk flushes, "d" disables disk drains.

meta-barriers

    Boolean value indicating whether the meta barriers should be

    disabled (True) or not (False).

metavg

    String containing the name of the default LVM volume group for DRBD

    metadata. By default, it is set to ``xenvg``. It can be overridden

    during the instance creation process by using the ``metavg`` key of

    the ``--disk`` parameter.

disk-custom

    String containing additional parameters to be appended to the

    arguments list of ``drbdsetup disk``.

net-custom

    String containing additional parameters to be appended to the

    arguments list of ``drbdsetup net``.

protocol

    Replication protocol for the DRBD device. Has to be either "A", "B"

    or "C". Refer to the DRBD documentation for further information

    about the differences between the protocols.

dynamic-resync

    Boolean indicating whether to use the dynamic resync speed

    controller or not. If enabled, c-plan-ahead must be non-zero and all

    the c-* parameters will be used by DRBD. Otherwise, the value of

    resync-rate will be used as a static resync speed.

c-plan-ahead

    Agility factor of the dynamic resync speed controller. (the higher,

    the slower the algorithm will adapt the resync speed). A value of 0

    (that is the default) disables the controller. [ds]

c-fill-target

    Maximum amount of in-flight resync data for the dynamic resync speed

    controller. [sectors]

c-delay-target

    Maximum estimated peer response latency for the dynamic resync speed

    controller. [ds]

c-min-rate

    Minimum resync speed for the dynamic resync speed controller. [KiB/s]

c-max-rate

    Upper bound on resync speed for the dynamic resync speed controller.

    [KiB/s]

List of parameters available for the **plain** template:

stripes

    Number of stripes to use for new LVs.

List of parameters available for the **rbd** template:

pool

    The RADOS cluster pool, inside which all rbd volumes will reside.

    When a new RADOS cluster is deployed, the default pool to put rbd

    volumes (Images in RADOS terminology) is 'rbd'.

access

    If 'userspace', instances will access their disks directly without

    going through a block device, avoiding expensive context switches

    with kernel space and the potential for deadlocks_ in low memory

    scenarios.

    The default value is 'kernelspace' and it disables this behaviour.

    This setting may only be changed to 'userspace' if all instance

    disks in the affected group or cluster can be accessed in userspace.

    Attempts to use this feature without rbd support compiled in KVM

    result in a "no such file or directory" error messages.

.. _deadlocks: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/3076

The option ``--maintain-node-health`` allows one 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. Note that this option is only

useful if the use of ``ganeti-confd`` was enabled at compilation.

The ``--uid-pool`` option initializes the user-id pool. The

*user-id pool definition* 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 ``--uid-pool`` 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.

The ``-I (--default-iallocator)`` 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 and

htools was not enabled at build time, 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. If the option is not specified but htools was enabled,

the default iallocator will be **hail**\(1) (assuming it can be found

on disk). The default iallocator can be changed later using the

**modify** command.

The option ``--default-iallocator-params`` sets the cluster-wide

iallocator parameters used by the default iallocator only on instance

allocations.

The ``--primary-ip-version`` option specifies the IP version used

for the primary address. Possible values are 4 and 6 for IPv4 and

IPv6, respectively. This option is used when resolving node names

and the cluster name.

The ``--node-parameters`` option allows you to set default node

parameters for the cluster. Please see **ganeti**\(7) for more

information about supported key=value pairs.

The ``-C (--candidate-pool-size)`` option specifies the

``candidate_pool_size`` cluster parameter. This is the number of nodes

that the master will try to keep as master\_candidates. For more

details about this role and other node roles, see the **ganeti**\(7).

The ``--specs-...`` and ``--ipolicy-...`` options specify the instance

policy on the cluster. The ``--ipolicy-bounds-specs`` option sets the

minimum and maximum specifications for instances. The format is:

min:*param*=*value*,.../max:*param*=*value*,... and further

specifications pairs can be added by using ``//`` as a separator. The

``--ipolicy-std-specs`` option takes a list of parameter/value pairs.

For both options, *param* can be:

- ``cpu-count``: number of VCPUs for an instance

- ``disk-count``: number of disk for an instance

- ``disk-size``: size of each disk

- ``memory-size``: instance memory

- ``nic-count``: number of network interface

- ``spindle-use``: spindle usage for an instance

For the ``--specs-...`` options, each option can have three values:

``min``, ``max`` and ``std``, which can also be modified on group level

(except for ``std``, which is defined once for the entire cluster).

Please note, that ``std`` values are not the same as defaults set by

``--beparams``, but they are used for the capacity calculations.

- ``--specs-cpu-count`` limits the number of VCPUs that can be used by an

  instance.

- ``--specs-disk-count`` limits the number of disks

- ``--specs-disk-size`` limits the disk size for every disk used

- ``--specs-mem-size`` limits the amount of memory available

- ``--specs-nic-count`` sets limits on the number of NICs used

The ``--ipolicy-spindle-ratio`` option takes a decimal number. The

``--ipolicy-disk-templates`` option takes a comma-separated list of disk

templates. This list of disk templates must be a subset of the list

of cluster-wide enabled disk templates (which can be set with

``--enabled-disk-templates``).

- ``--ipolicy-spindle-ratio`` limits the instances-spindles ratio

- ``--ipolicy-vcpu-ratio`` limits the vcpu-cpu ratio

All the instance policy elements can be overridden at group level. Group

level overrides can be removed by specifying ``default`` as the value of

an item.

The ``--drbd-usermode-helper`` option can be used to specify a usermode

helper. Check that this string is the one used by the DRBD kernel.

For details about how to use ``--hypervisor-state`` and ``--disk-state``

have a look at **ganeti**\(7).

The ``--enabled-disk-templates`` option specifies a list of disk templates

that can be used by instances of the cluster. For the possible values in

this list, see **gnt-instance**\(8). Note that in contrast to the list of

disk templates in the ipolicy, this list is a hard restriction. It is not

possible to create instances with disk templates that are not enabled in

the cluster. It is also not possible to disable a disk template when there

are still instances using it. The first disk template in the list of

enabled disk template is the default disk template. It will be used for

instance creation, if no disk template is requested explicitely.

MASTER-FAILOVER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**master-failover** [\--no-voting] [\--yes-do-it]

Failover the master role to the current node.

The ``--no-voting`` 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 ``--no-voting`` to **ganeti-masterd** on the new

master to solve this problem, and run **gnt-cluster redist-conf**

to make sure the cluster is consistent again.

The option ``--yes-do-it`` is used together with ``--no-voting``, for

skipping the interactive checks. This is even more dangerous, and should

only be used in conjunction with other means (e.g. a HA suite) to

confirm that the operation is indeed safe.

MASTER-PING

~~~~~~~~~~~

**master-ping**

Checks if the master daemon is alive.

If the master daemon is alive and can respond to a basic query (the

equivalent of **gnt-cluster info**), then the exit code of the

command will be 0. If the master daemon is not alive (either due to

a crash or because this is not the master node), the exit code will

be 1.

Modify the options for the cluster.

The ``--vg-name``, ``--enabled-hypervisors``, ``-H (--hypervisor-parameters)``,

``-B (--backend-parameters)``, ``-D (--disk-parameters)``, ``--nic-parameters``,

``-C (--candidate-pool-size)``, ``--maintain-node-health``,

``--prealloc-wipe-disks``, ``--uid-pool``, ``--node-parameters``,

``--master-netdev``, ``--master-netmask``, ``--use-external-mip-script``,

``--drbd-usermode-helper``, ``--file-storage-dir``,

``--shared-file-storage-dir``, and ``--enabled-disk-templates`` options are

described in the **init** command.

The ``--hypervisor-state`` and ``--disk-state`` options are described in

detail in **ganeti**\(7).

The ``--add-uids`` and ``--remove-uids`` options can be used to

modify the user-id pool by adding/removing a list of user-ids or

user-id ranges.

The option ``--reserved-lvs`` 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 .diskN), as this option only skips the

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

To remove all reserved logical volumes, pass in an empty argument

to the option, as in ``--reserved-lvs=`` or ``--reserved-lvs ''``.

The ``-I (--default-iallocator)`` is described in the **init**

command. To clear the default iallocator, just pass an empty string

('').

The option ``--default-iallocator-params`` is described in the **init**

command. To clear the default iallocator parameters, just pass an empty

string ('').

The ``--ipolicy-...`` options are described in the **init** command.

See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common

options.

QUEUE

~~~~~

**queue** {drain | undrain | info}

Change job queue properties.

The ``drain`` option sets the drain flag on the job queue. No new

jobs will be accepted, but jobs already in the queue will be

processed.

The ``undrain`` will unset the drain flag on the job queue. New

jobs will be accepted.

The ``info`` option shows the properties of the job queue.

WATCHER

~~~~~~~

**watcher** {pause *duration* | continue | info}

Make the watcher pause or let it continue.

The ``pause`` option causes the watcher to pause for *duration*

seconds.

The ``continue`` option will let the watcher continue.

The ``info`` option shows whether the watcher is currently paused.

REDIST-CONF

~~~~~~~~~~~

**redist-conf** [\--submit] [\--print-job-id]

This command forces a full push of configuration files from the

master node to the other nodes in the cluster. This is normally not

needed, but can be run if the **verify** complains about

configuration mismatches.

See **ganeti**\(7) for a description of ``--submit`` and other common

options.

RENAME

~~~~~~

**rename** [-f] {*name*}

Renames the cluster and in the process updates the master IP

address to the one the new name resolves to. At least one of either

the name or the IP address must be different, otherwise the

operation will be aborted.

Note that since this command can be dangerous (especially when run

over SSH), the command will require confirmation unless run with

the ``-f`` option.

RENEW-CRYPTO

~~~~~~~~~~~~

| **renew-crypto** [-f]

| [\--new-cluster-certificate] | [\--new-node-certificates]

| [\--new-confd-hmac-key]

| [\--new-rapi-certificate] [\--rapi-certificate *rapi-cert*]

| [\--new-spice-certificate | \--spice-certificate *spice-cert*

| \--spice-ca-certificate *spice-ca-cert*]

| [\--new-cluster-domain-secret] [\--cluster-domain-secret *filename*]

This command will stop all Ganeti daemons in the cluster and start

them again once the new certificates and keys are replicated. The

options ``--new-cluster-certificate`` and ``--new-confd-hmac-key``

can be used to regenerate respectively the cluster-internal SSL

certificate and the HMAC key used by **ganeti-confd**\(8).

The option ``--new-node-certificates`` will generate new node SSL

certificates for all nodes. Note that the regeneration of the node

certificates takes place after the other certificates are created

and distributed and the ganeti daemons are restarted again.

To generate a new self-signed RAPI certificate (used by

**ganeti-rapi**\(8)) specify ``--new-rapi-certificate``. If you want to

use your own certificate, e.g. one signed by a certificate

authority (CA), pass its filename to ``--rapi-certificate``.

To generate a new self-signed SPICE certificate, used for SPICE

connections to the KVM hypervisor, specify the

``--new-spice-certificate`` option. If you want to provide a

certificate, pass its filename to ``--spice-certificate`` and pass the

signing CA certificate to ``--spice-ca-certificate``.

Finally ``--new-cluster-domain-secret`` generates a new, random

cluster domain secret, and ``--cluster-domain-secret`` reads the

secret from a file. The cluster domain secret is used to sign

information exchanged between separate clusters via a third party.

REPAIR-DISK-SIZES

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**repair-disk-sizes** [instance...]

This command checks that the recorded size of the given instance's

disks matches the actual size and updates any mismatches found.

This is needed if the Ganeti configuration is no longer consistent

with reality, as it will impact some disk operations. If no

arguments are given, all instances will be checked. When exclusive

storage is active, also spindles are updated.

Note that only active disks can be checked by this command; in case

a disk cannot be activated it's advised to use

**gnt-instance activate-disks \--ignore-size ...** to force

activation without regard to the current size.

When all the disk sizes are consistent, the command will return no

output. Otherwise it will log details about the inconsistencies in

the configuration.

UPGRADE

~~~~~~~

**upgrade** {--to *version* | --resume}

This command safely switches all nodes of the cluster to a new Ganeti

version. It is a prerequisite that the new version is already installed,

albeit not activated, on all nodes; this requisite is checked before any

actions are done.

If called with the ``--resume`` option, any pending upgrade is

continued, that was interrupted by a power failure or similar on

master. It will do nothing, if not run on the master node, or if no

upgrade was in progress.

VERIFY

~~~~~~

| **verify** [\--no-nplus1-mem] [\--node-group *nodegroup*]

| [\--error-codes] [{-I|\--ignore-errors} *errorcode*]

| [{-I|\--ignore-errors} *errorcode*...]

Verify correctness of cluster configuration. This is safe with

respect to running instances, and incurs no downtime of the

instances.

If the ``--no-nplus1-mem`` option is given, Ganeti won't check

whether if it loses a node it can restart all the instances on

their secondaries (and report an error otherwise).

With ``--node-group``, restrict the verification to those nodes and

instances that live in the named group. This will not verify global

settings, but will allow to perform verification of a group while other

operations are ongoing in other groups.

The ``--error-codes`` option outputs each error in the following

parseable format: *ftype*:*ecode*:*edomain*:*name*:*msg*.

These fields have the following meaning:

ftype

    Failure type. Can be *WARNING* or *ERROR*.

ecode

    Error code of the failure. See below for a list of error codes.

edomain

    Can be *cluster*, *node* or *instance*.

name

    Contains the name of the item that is affected from the failure.

msg

    Contains a descriptive error message about the error

``gnt-cluster verify`` will have a non-zero exit code if at least one of

the failures that are found are of type *ERROR*.

The ``--ignore-errors`` option can be used to change this behaviour,

because it demotes the error represented by the error code received as a

parameter to a warning. The option must be repeated for each error that

should be ignored (e.g.: ``-I ENODEVERSION -I ENODEORPHANLV``). The

``--error-codes`` option can be used to determine the error code of a

given error.

VERIFY-DISKS

~~~~~~~~~~~~

**verify-disks**

The command checks which instances have degraded DRBD disks and

activates the disks of those instances.

This command is run from the **ganeti-watcher** tool, which also

has a different, complementary algorithm for doing this check.

Together, these two should ensure that DRBD disks are kept

consistent.

VERSION

~~~~~~~

**version**

Show the cluster version.

Tags

~~~~

ADD-TAGS

^^^^^^^^

**add-tags** [\--from *file*] {*tag*...}

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

characters, the entire operation will abort.

If the ``--from`` 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.

LIST-TAGS

^^^^^^^^^

**list-tags**

List the tags of the cluster.

REMOVE-TAGS

^^^^^^^^^^^

**remove-tags** [\--from *file*] {*tag*...}

Remove tags from the cluster. If any of the tags are not existing

on the cluster, the entire operation will abort.

If the ``--from`` option is given, the list of tags to be removed 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, tags from both sources will be removed). A file name of - will

be interpreted as stdin.

SEARCH-TAGS

^^^^^^^^^^^

**search-tags** {*pattern*}

Searches the tags on all objects in the cluster (the cluster

itself, the nodes and the instances) for a given pattern. The

pattern is interpreted as a regular expression and a search will be

done on it (i.e. the given pattern is not anchored to the beggining

of the string; if you want that, prefix the pattern with ^).

If no tags are matching the pattern, the exit code of the command

will be one. If there is at least one match, the exit code will be
