3
    support (issue 23)
4
  - add command aliases infrastructure and a few aliases
5
  - allow listing of VCPUs in the gnt-instance list and improve the man
6
    pages and the --help option of gnt-node/gnt-instance list
7
  - fix gnt-backup list with down nodes (issue 21)
8
  - change the tools location (move from $pkgdatadir to
9
    $pkglibdir/tools)
10
  - fix the dist archive and add a check for including svn/git files in
11
    the future
12
  - some developer-related changes: improve the burnin and the QA
13
    suite, add an upload script for testing during development

15
Version 1.2.1
16
  - experimental HVM support, read the install document, section
17
    "Initializing the cluster"
18
  - allow for the PVM hypervisor per-instance kernel and initrd paths
19
  - add a new command ‘gnt-cluster verify-disks’ which uses a new
20
    algorithm to improve the reconnection of the DRBD pairs if the
21
    device on the secondary node has gone away
22
  - make logical volume code auto-activate LVs at disk activation time
23
  - slightly improve the speed of activating disks
24
  - allow specification of the MAC address at instance creation time,
25
    and changing it later via ‘gnt-instance modify’
26
  - fix handling of external commands that generate lots of output on
27
    stderr
28
  - update documentation with regard to minimum version of DRBD8
29
    supported
30

    
31
Version 1.2.0
32
  - Log the ‘xm create’ output to the node daemon log on failure (to
33
    help diagnosing the error)
34
  - In debug mode, log all external commands output if failed to the
35
    logs
36
  - Change parsing of lvm commands to ignore stderr
37

    
38
Version 1.2b3
39
  - Another round of updates to the DRBD 8 code to deal with more
40
    failures in the replace secondary node operation
41
  - Some more logging of failures in disk operations (lvm, drbd)
42
  - A few documentation updates
43
  - QA updates
44

    
45
Version 1.2b2
46
  - Change configuration file format from Python's Pickle to JSON.
47
    Upgrading is possible using the cfgupgrade utility.
48
  - Add support for DRBD 8.0 (new disk template `drbd`) which allows for
49
    faster replace disks and is more stable (DRBD 8 has many
50
    improvements compared to DRBD 0.7)
51
  - Added command line tags support (see man pages for gnt-instance,
52
    gnt-node, gnt-cluster)
53
  - Added instance rename support
54
  - Added multi-instance startup/shutdown
55
  - Added cluster rename support
56
  - Added `gnt-node evacuate` to simplify some node operations
57
  - Added instance reboot operation that can speedup reboot as compared
58
    to stop and start
59
  - Soften the requirement that hostnames are in FQDN format
60
  - The ganeti-watcher now activates drbd pairs after secondary node
61
    reboots
62
  - Removed dependency on debian's patched fping that uses the
63
    non-standard -S option
64
  - Now the OS definitions are searched for in multiple, configurable
65
    paths (easier for distros to package)
66
  - Some changes to the hooks infrastructure (especially the new
67
    post-configuration update hook)
68
  - Other small bugfixes
