The gnt-os is used for managing the list of available operating system flavours for the instances in the ganeti cluster.
list
Gives the list of available/supported OS to use in the instances. When creating the instance you can give the OS-name as an option.
diagnose
This command will help you see why an installed OS is not available in the cluster. The list command shows only the OS-es that the cluster sees available on all nodes. It could be that some OS is missing from a node, or is only partially installed, and this command will show the details of all the OSes and the reasons they are or are not valid.
modify [-H HYPERVISOR [: option=value... ]] {OS}
This command will allow you to modify OS parameters. At the moment
we just support per-os-hypervisor settings. You can run modify
-H with the same syntax as in
gnt-cluster init to override default hypervisor
parameters of the cluster for specified
OS argument.
Note: The OS doesn't have to exists. This allows preseeding the settings for OSes not yet known to gnt-os.
