Name

       ganeti-luxid - Ganeti query daemon

Synopsis

       ganeti-luxid [-f] [-d] [--syslog] [--no-user-checks] [--no-voting --yes-do-it]

DESCRIPTION

       ganeti-luxid  is  a daemon used to answer queries related to the configuration and the current live state
       of a Ganeti cluster.  Additionally, it is the autorative daemon for the Ganeti job queue.   Jobs  can  be
       submitted via this daemon and it schedules and starts them.

       For testing purposes, you can give the -f option and the program won't detach from the running terminal.

       Debug-level message can be activated by giving the -d option.

       Logging to syslog, rather than its own log file, can be enabled by passing in the --syslog option.

       The  ganeti-luxid  daemon  listens on a Unix socket (/var/run/ganeti/socket/ganeti-query) on which it ex‐
       ports a Luxi endpoint supporting the full set of commands.

       The daemon will refuse to start if the user and group do not match the one defined at  build  time;  this
       behaviour can be overridden by the --no-user-checks option.

       The  daemon  will refuse to start if it cannot verify that the majority of cluster nodes believes that it
       is running on the master node.  To allow failover in a two-node cluster, this can be  overridden  by  the
       --no-voting option.  As it this is dangerous, the --yes-do-it option has to be given as well.

       Only  queries  which  don't require locks can be handled by the luxi daemon, which might lead to slightly
       outdated results in some cases.

       The config is reloaded from disk automatically when it changes, with a rate limit of once per second.
