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 exports 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       to slightly outdated results in some cases.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.
