According to RFC 2616 the main difference between PUT and POST is
that POST can create new resources but PUT can only create the resource
the URI was pointing to on the PUT request.
Unfortunately, due to historic reasons, the Ganeti RAPI library is not
consistent with this usage, so just use the methods as documented below
for each resource.
For more details have a look in the source code at
lib/rapi/rlib2.py.
The root resource. Has no function, but for legacy reasons the GET
method is supported.

Request information for connecting to instance’s console.
Supports the following commands: GET.
Returns a dictionary containing information about the instance’s
console. Contained keys:
- instance
- Instance name
- kind
- Console type, one of ssh,
vnc, spice
or msg
- message
- Message to display (msg type only)
- host
- Host to connect to (ssh,
vnc or spice only)
- port
- TCP port to connect to (vnc or
spice only)
- user

- VNC display number (vnc only)
The /2/jobs resource.
It supports the following commands: GET.
Returns a dictionary of jobs.
Returns: a dictionary with jobs id and uri.
If the optional bool bulk argument is provided and set to a true value
(i.e. ?bulk=1), the output contains detailed information about jobs
as a list.
Returned fields for bulk requests (unlike other bulk requests, these
fields are not the same as for per-job requests):
end_ts, id, ops, opstatus, received_ts, start_ts, status, summary.
Individual job URI.
It supports the following commands: GET, DELETE.
Returns a dictionary with job parameters, containing the fields
end_ts, id, oplog, opresult, ops, opstatus, received_ts, start_ts, status, summary.
The result includes:
- id: job ID as a number
- status: current job status as a string
- ops: involved OpCodes as a list of dictionaries for each opcodes in
the job
- opstatus: OpCodes status as a list
- opresult: OpCodes results as a list
For a successful opcode, the opresult field corresponding to it will
contain the raw result from its LogicalUnit. In case an opcode
has failed, its element in the opresult list will be a list of two
elements:
- first element the error type (the Ganeti internal error name)
- second element a list of either one or two elements:
- the first element is the textual error description
- the second element, if any, will hold an error classification
The error classification is most useful for the OpPrereqError
error type - these errors happen before the OpCode has started
executing, so it’s possible to retry the OpCode without side
effects. But whether it make sense to retry depends on the error
classification:
- resolver_error
- Resolver errors. This usually means that a name doesn’t exist in DNS,
so if it’s a case of slow DNS propagation the operation can be retried
later.
- insufficient_resources
- Not enough resources (iallocator failure, disk space, memory,
etc.). If the resources on the cluster increase, the operation might
succeed.
- wrong_input
- Wrong arguments (at syntax level). The operation will not ever be
accepted unless the arguments change.
- wrong_state
- Wrong entity state. For example, live migration has been requested for
a down instance, or instance creation on an offline node. The
operation can be retried once the resource has changed state.
- unknown_entity
- Entity not found. For example, information has been requested for an
unknown instance.
- already_exists
- Entity already exists. For example, instance creation has been
requested for an already-existing instance.
- resource_not_unique
- Resource not unique (e.g. MAC or IP duplication).
- internal_error
- Internal cluster error. For example, a node is unreachable but not set
offline, or the ganeti node daemons are not working, etc. A
gnt-cluster verify should be run.
- environment_error
- Environment error (e.g. node disk error). A gnt-cluster verify
should be run.
Note that in the above list, by entity we refer to a node or instance,
while by a resource we refer to an instance’s disk, or NIC, etc.

available
