gnt-cluster - Ganeti administration, cluster-wide
gnt-cluster {command} [arguments...]
The gnt-cluster is used for cluster-wide administration in the Ganeti system.
activate-master-ip
Activates the master IP on the master node.
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 dateThe -g option can be used to run a command only on a specific node group, e.g.:
# gnt-cluster command -g default dateThe -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 /etcand the command which will be executed will be ls -l /etc.
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 copyfile -n node1.example.com -n node2.example.com /tmp/testThis will copy the file /tmp/test from the current node to the two named nodes.
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 {--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 [--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
Displays the current master node.
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
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 /etc/ganeti/scripts/master-ip-setup. If the option value is set to False, the default script (located at /usr/lib/ganeti/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 and --shared-file-storage-dir options allow you set the directory to use for storing the instance disk files when using file storage backend, respectively shared file storage backend, for instance disks. Note that the file and shared file storage dir must be an allowed directory for file storage. Those directories are specified in the /etc/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 hypervisor
Xen HVM hypervisor
Linux KVM hypervisor
a simple chroot manager that starts chroot based on a script at the root of the filesystem holding the chroot
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):
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 /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file, under the key "xend-relocation-port".
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:
Number of VCPUs to set for an instance by default, must be an integer, will be set to 1 if no specified.
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.
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.
Value of the auto_balance flag for instances to use by default, will be set to true if not specified.
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:
The default NIC mode, one of routed, bridged or openvswitch.
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):
Static re-synchronization rate. [KiB/s]
Number of stripes to use for data LVs.
Number of stripes to use for meta LVs.
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.
Boolean value indicating whether the meta barriers should be disabled (True) or not (False).
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.
String containing additional parameters to be appended to the arguments list of drbdsetup disk.
String containing additional parameters to be appended to the arguments list of drbdsetup net.
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.
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.
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]
Maximum amount of in-flight resync data for the dynamic resync speed controller. [sectors]
Maximum estimated peer response latency for the dynamic resync speed controller. [ds]
Minimum resync speed for the dynamic resync speed controller. [KiB/s]
Upper bound on resync speed for the dynamic resync speed controller. [KiB/s]
List of parameters available for the plain template:
Number of stripes to use for new LVs.
List of parameters available for the rbd template:
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'.
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.
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 --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 instancedisk-count: number of disk for an instancedisk-size: size of each diskmemory-size: instance memorynic-count: number of network interfacespindle-use: spindle usage for an instanceFor 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 usedThe --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 ratioAll 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 [--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
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.

[--drbd-usermode-helper helper]
[--file-storage-dir dir]
[--shared-file-storage-dir dir]
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 --ipolicy-... options are described in the init command.
See ganeti(7) for a description of --submit and other common options.
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 {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 [--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 [-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 [-f]
[--new-cluster-certificate] [--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).
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 [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 {--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 [--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:
Failure type. Can be WARNING or ERROR.
Error code of the failure. See below for a list of error codes.
Can be cluster, node or instance.
Contains the name of the item that is affected from the failure.
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
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
Show the cluster version.
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 the tags of the cluster.
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 {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 zero. Each match is listed on one line, the object and the tag separated by a space. The cluster will be listed as /cluster, a node will be listed as /nodes/name, and an instance as /instances/name. Example:
# gnt-cluster search-tags time
/cluster ctime:2007-09-01
