Name

       ganeti-wconfd - Ganeti configuration writing daemon

Synopsis

       ganeti-wcond  [-f]  [-d] [--syslog] [--no-user-checks] [--no-voting --yes-do-it] [--force-
       node]

DESCRIPTION

       ganeti-wconfd is the daemon that has authoritative knowledge about the  configuration  and
       is  the  only  entity  that  can  accept  changes to it.  All jobs that need to modify the
       configuration will do so by sending appropriate requests to this daemon.

       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-wconfd       daemon       listens       on       a       Unix       socket
       (@LOCALSTATEDIR@/run/ganeti/socket/ganeti-query)  on  which  it accepts all requests in an
       internal protocol format, used by Ganeti jobs.

       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.  Also, if the option --force-node  is  given,  it  will
       accept  to  run  on  a  non-master  node;  it  should not be necessary to give this option
       manually, but gnt-cluster masterfailover will use it internally to  start  the  daemon  in
       order to update the master-node information in the configuration.
