        <para>
123
          Creates a new instance on the specified host. The
124
          <replaceable>instance</replaceable> argument must be in DNS,
125
          but depending on the bridge/routing setup, need not be in
126
          the same network as the nodes in the cluster.
127
        </para>
128

    
129
        <para>
130
          The <option>disk</option> option specifies the parameters
131
          for the disks of the instance. The numbering of disks starts
132
          at zero, and at least one disk needs to be passed. For each
133
          disk, either the size or the adoption source needs to be
134
          given, and optionally the access mode (read-only or the
135
          default of read-write) can also be specified.  The size is
136
          interpreted (when no unit is given) in mebibytes. You can
137
          also use one of the suffixes
138
          <literal>m</literal>, <literal>g</literal> or
139
          <literal>t</literal> to specificy the exact the units used;
140
          these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes.
141
        </para>
142

    
143
        <para>
144
          When using the <option>adopt</option> key in the disk
145
          definition, Ganeti will reuse those volumes (instead of
146
          creating new ones) as the instance's disks. Ganeti will
147
          rename these volumes to the standard format, and (without
148
          installing the OS) will use them as-is for the
149
          instance. This allows migrating instances from non-managed
150
          mode (e.q. plain KVM with LVM) to being managed via
151
          Ganeti. Note that this works only for the `plain' disk
152
          template (see below for template details).
153
        </para>
154

    
155
        <para>
156
          Alternatively, a single-disk instance can be created via the
157
          <option>-s</option> option which takes a single argument,
158
          the size of the disk. This is similar to the Ganeti 1.2
159
          version (but will only create one disk).
160
        </para>
161

    
162
        <para>
163
          The minimum disk specification is therefore
164
          <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G</userinput> (or <userinput>-s
165
          20G</userinput> when using the <option>-s</option> option),
166
          and a three-disk instance can be specified as
167
          <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G --disk 1:size=4G --disk
168
          2:size=100G</userinput>.
169
        </para>
170

    
171
        <para>
172
          The <option>--no-ip-check</option> skips the checks that are
173
          done to see if the instance's IP is not already alive
174
          (i.e. reachable from the master node).
175
        </para>
176

    
177
        <para>
178
          The <option>--no-name-check</option> skips the check for the
179
          instance name via the resolver (e.g. in DNS or /etc/hosts,
180
          depending on your setup). Since the name check is used to
181
          compute the IP address, if you pass this option you must
182
          also pass the <option>--no-ip-check</option> option.
183
        </para>
184

    
185
        <para>
186
          If you don't wat the instance to automatically start after
187
          creation, this is possible via the
188
          <option>--no-start</option> option. This will leave the
189
          instance down until a subsequent <command>gnt-instance
190
          start</command> command.
191
        </para>
192

    
193
        <para>
194
          The NICs of the instances can be specified via the
195
          <option>--net</option> option. By default, one NIC is
196
          created for the instance, with a random MAC, and set
197
          up according the the cluster level nic parameters.
198
          Each NIC can take these parameters (all optional):

                  this NIC to, in routed mode it's intended to
228
                  differentiate between different routing tables/instance
229
                  groups (but the meaning is dependent on the network
230
                  script, see gnt-cluster(8) for more details)</simpara>

237

    
238
        <para>
239
          Alternatively, if no network is desired for the instance, you
240
          can prevent the default of one NIC with the
241
          <option>--no-nics</option> option.

          The <option>-o</option> options specifies the operating

247
          be listed with <command>gnt-os
248
          list</command>. Passing <option>--no-install</option> will
249
          however skip the OS installation, allowing a manual import
250
          if so desired. Note that the no-installation mode will
251
          automatically disable the start-up of the instance (without
252
          an OS, it most likely won't be able to start-up
253
          successfully).

                  file. However, running I/O intensive applications in
798
                  your instance using the loop driver might result in
799
                  slowdowns.  Furthermore, if you use the loopback
800
                  driver consider increasing the maximum amount of
801
                  loopback devices (on most systems it's 8) using the

          If the value of the option starts with the character

          <constant>+</constant>, the new field(s) will be added to the

          default list. This allows to quickly see the default list

          There is a subtle grouping about the available output
1409
          fields: all fields except for <option>oper_state</option>,
1410
          <option>oper_ram</option>, <option>oper_vcpus</option> and
1411
          <option>status</option> are
1412
          configuration value and not run-time values. So if you don't
1413
          select any of the these fields, the query will be satisfied
1414
          instantly from the cluster configuration, without having to
1415
          ask the remote nodes for the data. This can be helpful for
1416
          big clusters when you only want some data and it makes sense
1417
          to specify a reduced set of output fields.

          specify temporary hypervisor and backend parameters that can
1795
          be used to start an instance with modified parameters. They
1796
          can be useful for quick testing without having to modify an
1797
          instance back and forth, e.g.:
1798
          <screen>
1799
# gnt-instance start -H root_args="single" instance1
1800
# gnt-instance start -B memory=2048 instance2
1801
          </screen>
1802
          The first form will start the instance
1803
          <userinput>instance1</userinput> in single-user mode, and
1804
          the instance <userinput>instance2</userinput> with 2GB of
1805
          RAM (this time only, unless that is the actual instance
1806
          memory size already). Note that the values override the
1807
          instance parameters (and not extend them): an instance with
1808
          "root_args=ro" when started with <userinput>-H
1809
          root_args=single</userinput> will result in "single", not
1810
          "ro single".

          This command is a generalized form for replacing disks. It
2058
          is currently only valid for the mirrored (DRBD) disk
2059
          template.
2060
        </para>
2061

    
2062
        <para>
2063
          The first form (when passing the <option>-p</option> option)
2064
          will replace the disks on the primary, while the second form
2065
          (when passing the <option>-s</option> option will replace
2066
          the disks on the secondary node. For these two cases (as the
2067
          node doesn't change), it is possible to only run the replace
2068
          for a subset of the disks, using the option
2069
          <option>--disks</option> which takes a list of
2070
          comma-delimited disk indices (zero-based),
2071
          e.g. <userinput>0,2</userinput> to replace only the first
2072
          and third disks.

2076
          The third form (when passing either the
2077
          <option>--iallocator</option> or the
2078
          <option>--new-secondary</option> option) is designed to
2079
          change secondary node of the instance.  Specifying
2080
          <option>--iallocator</option> makes the new secondary be
2081
          selected automatically by the specified allocator plugin,
2082
          otherwise the new secondary node will be the one chosen
2083
          manually via the <option>--new-secondary</option> option.

2085

    
2086
        <para>
2087
          The fourth form (when using <option>--auto</option>) will
2088
          automatically determine which disks of an instance are faulty and
2089
          replace them within the same node. The <option>--auto</option>
2090
          option works only when an instance has only faulty disks on
2091
          either the primary or secondary node; it doesn't work when
2092
          both sides have faulty disks.

2103
          The <option>--early-release</option> changes the code so
2104
          that the old storage on secondary node(s) is removed early
2105
          (before the resync is completed) and the internal Ganeti
2106
          locks for the current (and new, if any) secondary node are
2107
          also released, thus allowing more parallelism in the cluster
2108
          operation. This should be used only when recovering from a
2109
          disk failure on the current secondary (thus the old storage
2110
          is already broken) or when the storage on the primary node
2111
          is known to be fine (thus we won't need the old storage for
2112
          potential recovery).

          Failover will fail the instance over its secondary
2341
          node. This works only for instances having a drbd disk

2344

    
2345
        <para>
2346
          Normally the failover will check the consistency of the
2347
          disks before failing over the instance. If you are trying to
2348
          migrate instances off a dead node, this will fail. Use the
2349
          <option>--ignore-consistency</option> option for this
2350
          purpose. Note that this option can be dangerous as errors in
2351
          shutting down the instance will be ignored, resulting in
2352
          possibly having the instance running on two machines in
2353
          parallel (on disconnected DRBD drives).

        <para>
2397
          Migrate will move the instance to its secondary node without
2398
          shutdown. It only works for instances having the drbd8 disk
2399
          template type.

        </para>
2401

    
2402
        <para>
2403
          The migration command needs a perfectly healthy instance, as
2404
          we rely on the dual-master capability of drbd8 and the disks
2405
          of the instance are not allowed to be degraded.
2406
        </para>
2407

    
2408
        <para>
2409
          The <option>--non-live</option>
2410
          and <option>--migration-type=non-live</option> options will
2411
          switch (for the hypervisors that support it) between a
2412
          "fully live" (i.e. the interruption is as minimal as
2413
          possible) migration and one in which the instance is frozen,
2414
          its state saved and transported to the remote node, and then
2415
          resumed there. This all depends on the hypervisor support
2416
          for two different methods. In any case, it is not an error
2417
          to pass this parameter (it will just be ignored if the
2418
          hypervisor doesn't support it). The
2419
          option <option>--migration-type=live</option> option will
2420
          request a fully-live migration. The default, when neither
2421
          option is passed, depends on the hypervisor parameters (and
2422
          can be viewed with the <command>gnt-cluster info</command>
2423
          command).

2425

    
2426
        <para>
2427
          If the <option>--cleanup</option> option is passed, the
2428
          operation changes from migration to attempting recovery from
2429
          a failed previous migration. In this mode, Ganeti checks if
2430
          the instance runs on the correct node (and updates its
2431
          configuration if not) and ensures the instances's disks are
2432
          configured correctly. In this mode, the
2433
          <option>--non-live</option> option is ignored.
