Name

       gnt-node - Node administration

Synopsis

       gnt-node {command} [arguments...]

DESCRIPTION

       The gnt-node is used for managing the (physical) nodes in the Ganeti system.

COMMANDS

   ADD
       add [--readd] [{-s|--secondary-ip} secondary_ip]
       [{-g|--node-group} nodegroup]
       [--master-capable=yes|no] [--vm-capable=yes|no]
       [--node-parameters ndparams]
       [--disk-state diskstate]
       [--hypervisor-state hvstate]
       {nodename}

       Adds the given node to the cluster.

       This  command  is  used  to  join a new node to the cluster.  You will have to provide the
       password for root of the node to be able to add the node  in  the  cluster.   The  command
       needs to be run on the Ganeti master.

       Note  that  the command is potentially destructive, as it will forcibly join the specified
       host the cluster, not paying attention to its current status (it could  be  already  in  a
       cluster, etc.)

       The  -s (--secondary-ip)  is used in dual-home clusters and specifies the new node's IP in
       the secondary network.  See the discussion in gnt-cluster(8) for more information.

       In case you're readding a node after hardware failure, you can use the --readd  parameter.
       In  this  case,  you  don't  need  to pass the secondary IP again, it will reused from the
       cluster.  Also, the drained and offline flags of the node will be cleared before re-adding
       it.

       The  -g (--node-group)  option  is  used  to  add the new node into a specific node group,
       specified by UUID or name.  If only one node  group  exists  you  can  skip  this  option,
       otherwise it's mandatory.

       The  vm_capable,  master_capable, ndparams, diskstate and hvstate options are described in
       ganeti(7), and are used to set the properties of the new node.

       The command performs some operations that change the state of the master and the new node,
       like  copying  certificates  and  starting  the  node  daemon on the new node, or updating
       /etc/hosts on the master node.  If the command fails at a later  stage,  it  doesn't  undo
       such  changes.   This  should  not  be a problem, as a successful run of gnt-node add will
       bring everything back in sync.

       If the node was previously part of another cluster and  still  has  daemons  running,  the
       node-cleanup  tool  can be run on the machine to be added to clean remains of the previous
       cluster from the node.

       Example:

              # gnt-node add node5.example.com
              # gnt-node add -s 192.0.2.5 node5.example.com
              # gnt-node add -g group2 -s 192.0.2.9 node9.group2.example.com

   EVACUATE
       evacuate [-f] [--early-release] [--submit] [--print-job-id]
       [{-I|--iallocator} NAME | {-n|--new-secondary} destination_node]
       [{-p|--primary-only} | {-s|--secondary-only} ]
        {node}

       This command will move instances away from the given node.  If  --primary-only  is  given,
       only  primary instances are evacuated, with --secondary-only only secondaries.  If neither
       is given, all instances are evacuated.  It works only for instances  having  a  drbd  disk
       template.

       The new location for the instances can be specified in two ways:

       • as a single node for all instances, via the -n (--new-secondary) option

       • or  via the -I (--iallocator) option, giving a script name as parameter (or . to use the
         default allocator), so each instance will be in turn placed  on  the  (per  the  script)
         optimal node

       The  --early-release  changes  the code so that the old storage on node being evacuated is
       removed early (before the resync is completed) and the  internal  Ganeti  locks  are  also
       released  for  both  the  current  secondary  and  the  new  secondary, thus allowing more
       parallelism in the cluster operation.  This should be used only  when  recovering  from  a
       disk failure on the current secondary (thus the old storage is already broken) or when the
       storage on the primary node is known to be fine (thus we won't need the  old  storage  for
       potential recovery).

       Note  that  this  command  is  equivalent to using per-instance commands for each affected
       instance individually:

       • --primary-only is  equivalent  to  performing  gnt-instance migrate  for  every  primary
         instance  running  on  the node that can be migrated and gnt-instance failover for every
         primary instance that cannot be migrated.

       • --secondary-only is equivalent to gnt-instance replace-disks in  secondary  node  change
         mode (--new-secondary) for every DRBD instance that the node is a secondary for.

       • when neither of the above is done a combination of the two cases is run

       See ganeti(7) for a description of --submit and other common options.

       Example:

              # gnt-node evacuate -I hail node3.example.com

       Note  that,  due to an issue with the iallocator interface, evacuation of all instances at
       once is not yet implemented.  Full evacuation can currently be  achieved  by  sequentially
       evacuating primaries and secondaries.

              # gnt-node evacuate -p node3.example.com
              # gnt-node evacuate -s node3.example.com

   FAILOVER
       failover [-f] [--ignore-consistency] {node}

       This  command  will  fail  over  all  instances  having the given node as primary to their
       secondary nodes.  This works only for instances having a drbd disk template.

       Normally the failover will check the consistency of the  disks  before  failing  over  the
       instance.   If  you  are trying to migrate instances off a dead node, this will fail.  Use
       the --ignore-consistency option for this purpose.

       Example:

              # gnt-node failover node1.example.com

   INFO
       info [node...]

       Show detailed information about  the  nodes  in  the  cluster.   If  you  don't  give  any
       arguments,  all  nodes will be shows, otherwise the output will be restricted to the given
       names.

   LIST
       list
       [--no-headers] [--separator=SEPARATOR]
       [--units=UNITS] [-v] [{-o|--output} [+]FIELD,...]
       [--filter]
       [node...]

       Lists the nodes in the cluster.

       The --no-headers option will skip the initial header line.  The --separator  option  takes
       an argument which denotes what will be used between the output fields.  Both these options
       are to help scripting.

       The units used to display the numeric values  in  the  output  varies,  depending  on  the
       options given.  By default, the values will be formatted in the most appropriate unit.  If
       the --separator option is given, then the values are shown in mebibytes to  allow  parsing
       by scripts.  In both cases, the --units option can be used to enforce a given output unit.

       Queries  of  nodes  will  be  done  in  parallel  with  any running jobs.  This might give
       inconsistent results for the free disk/memory.

       The -v option activates verbose mode, which changes the display of  special  field  states
       (see ganeti(7)).

       The  -o (--output)  option  takes  a comma-separated list of output fields.  The available
       fields and their meaning are:

       bootid Random UUID renewed for each system reboot, can be used for  detecting  reboots  by
              tracking changes

       cnodes Number of NUMA domains on node (if exported by hypervisor)

       dfree  Available storage space in storage unit

       disk_state
              Disk state

       drained
              Whether node is drained

       dtotal Total storage space in storage unit used for instance disk allocation

              UUID of node group

       hv_state
              Hypervisor state

       master Whether node is master

       master_candidate
              Whether node is a master candidate

       master_capable
              Whether node can become a master candidate

       mfree  Memory available for instance allocations

       mnode  Amount of memory used by node (dom0 for Xen)

       mtime  Modification timestamp

       mtotal Total amount of memory of physical machine

       name   Node name

       ndp/exclusive_storage
              The "exclusive_storage" node parameter

       ndp/oob_program
              The "oob_program" node parameter

       ndp/spindle_count
              The "spindle_count" node parameter

       ndparams
              Merged node parameters

       offline
              Whether node is marked offline

       pinst_cnt
              Number of instances with this node as primary

       pinst_list
              List of instances with this node as primary

       pip    Primary IP address

       powered
              Whether node is thought to be powered on

       role   Node  role;  "M"  for  master,  "C"  for master candidate, "R" for regular, "D" for
              drained, "O" for offline

       serial_no
              Node object serial number, incremented on each modification

       sinst_cnt
              Number of instances with this node as secondary

       sinst_list
              List of instances with this node as secondary

       sip    Secondary IP address

       spfree Available spindles in volume group (exclusive storage only)

       sptotal
              Total spindles in volume group (exclusive storage only)

       tags   Tags

       uuid   Node UUID

       vm_capable
              Whether node can host instances

       If the value of the option starts with the character +, the new fields will  be  added  to
       the  default  list.   This  allows  one  to  quickly see the default list plus a few other
       fields, instead of retyping the entire list of fields.

       Note that some of these fields are known from  the  configuration  of  the  cluster  (e.g.
       name,  pinst,  sinst,  pip, sip) and thus the master does not need to contact the node for
       this data (making the listing fast if only fields from this set are selected), whereas the
       other fields are "live" fields and require a query to the cluster nodes.

       Depending  on  the  virtualization  type and implementation details, the mtotal, mnode and
       mfree fields may have slightly varying meanings.  For example, some  solutions  share  the
       node memory with the pool of memory used for instances (KVM), whereas others have separate
       memory for the node and for the instances (Xen).

       If exactly one argument is given and it appears to be a query filter (see ganeti(7)),  the
       query result is filtered accordingly.  For ambiguous cases (e.g.  a single field name as a
       filter) the --filter (-F) option forces the argument to be treated as a filter (e.g.  gnt-
       node list -F master_candidate).

       If  no  node names are given, then all nodes are queried.  Otherwise, only the given nodes
       will be listed.

   LIST-DRBD
       list-drbd [--no-headers] [--separator=SEPARATOR] node

       Lists the mapping of DRBD minors for a given node.  This outputs a static list  of  fields
       (it doesn't accept the --output option), as follows:

       Node   The (full) name of the node we are querying

       Minor  The DRBD minor

       Instance
              The instance the DRBD minor belongs to

       Disk   The disk index that the DRBD minor belongs to

       Role   Either  primary or secondary, denoting the role of the node for the instance (note:
              this is not the live status of the DRBD device, but the configuration value)

       PeerNode
              The node that the minor is connected to on the other end

       This command can be used as a reverse lookup (from node and minor) to  a  given  instance,
       which can be useful when debugging DRBD issues.

       Note  that  this  command  queries Ganeti via ganeti-confd(8), so it won't be available if
       support for confd has not been enabled at build time; furthermore, in Ganeti 2.6  this  is
       only available via the Haskell version of confd (again selected at build time).

   LIST-FIELDS
       list-fields [field...]

       Lists available fields for nodes.

   MIGRATE
       migrate [-f] [--non-live] [--migration-mode=live|non-live]
       [--ignore-ipolicy] [--submit] [--print-job-id] {node}

       This  command  will  migrate  all  instances  having  the  given  node as primary to their
       secondary nodes.  This works only for instances having a drbd disk template.

       As for the gnt-instance migrate command, the options --no-live, --migration-mode and --no-
       runtime-changes can be given to influence the migration type.

       If  --ignore-ipolicy  is  given  any  instance  policy  violations  occurring  during this
       operation are ignored.

       See ganeti(7) for a description of --submit and other common options.

       Example:

              # gnt-node migrate node1.example.com

   MODIFY
       modify [-f] [--submit] [--print-job-id]
       [{-C|--master-candidate} yes|no]
       [{-D|--drained} yes|no] [{-O|--offline} yes|no]
       [--master-capable=yes|no] [--vm-capable=yes|no] [--auto-promote]
       [{-s|--secondary-ip} secondary_ip]
       [--node-parameters ndparams]
       [--node-powered=yes|no]
       [--hypervisor-state hvstate]
       [--disk-state diskstate]
       {node}

       This command changes the role of the node.  Each options takes either a literal yes or no,
       and  only  one  option  should  be  given  as yes.  The meaning of the roles and flags are
       described in the manpage ganeti(7).

       The option --node-powered can be used to modify state-of-record if it doesn't reflect  the
       reality anymore.

       In  case  a  node is demoted from the master candidate role, the operation will be refused
       unless you pass the --auto-promote option.  This option will cause the operation  to  lock
       all  cluster nodes (thus it will not be able to run in parallel with most other jobs), but
       it allows automated maintenance of the cluster candidate pool.   If  locking  all  cluster
       node  is  too  expensive,  another  option  is  to promote manually another node to master
       candidate before demoting the current one.

       Example (setting a node offline, which will demote it from master candidate role if is  in
       that role):

              # gnt-node modify --offline=yes node1.example.com

       The  -s (--secondary-ip)  option  can  be used to change the node's secondary ip.  No drbd
       instances can be running on the node, while this operation is taking place.  Remember that
       the secondary ip must be reachable from the master secondary ip, when being changed, so be
       sure that the node has the new IP already configured and active.  In order  to  convert  a
       cluster  from single homed to multi-homed or vice versa --force is needed as well, and the
       target node for the first change must be the master.

       See ganeti(7) for a description of --submit and other common options.

       Example (setting the node back to online and master candidate):

              # gnt-node modify --offline=no --master-candidate=yes node1.example.com

   REMOVE
       remove {nodename}

       Removes a node from the cluster.  Instances must be removed or migrated to another cluster
       before.

       Example:

              # gnt-node remove node5.example.com

   VOLUMES
       volumes [--no-headers] [--human-readable]
       [--separator=SEPARATOR] [{-o|--output} FIELDS]
       [node...]

       Lists all logical volumes and their physical disks from the node(s) provided.

       The  --no-headers  option will skip the initial header line.  The --separator option takes
       an argument which denotes what will be used between the output fields.  Both these options
       are to help scripting.

       The  units  used  to  display  the  numeric  values in the output varies, depending on the
       options given.  By default, the values will be formatted in the most appropriate unit.  If
       the  --separator  option is given, then the values are shown in mebibytes to allow parsing
       by scripts.  In both cases, the --units option can be used to enforce a given output unit.

       The -o (--output) option takes a comma-separated list of  output  fields.   The  available
       fields and their meaning are:

       node   the node name on which the volume exists

       phys   the physical drive (on which the LVM physical volume lives)

       vg     the volume group name

       name   the logical volume name

       size   the logical volume size

       instance
              The  name  of the instance to which this volume belongs, or (in case it's an orphan
              volume) the character "-"

       Example:

              # gnt-node volumes node5.example.com
              Node              PhysDev   VG    Name                                 Size Instance
              node1.example.com /dev/hdc1 xenvg instance1.example.com-sda_11000.meta 128  instance1.example.com
              node1.example.com /dev/hdc1 xenvg instance1.example.com-sda_11001.data 256  instance1.example.com

   LIST-STORAGE
       list-storage [--no-headers] [--human-readable]
       [--separator=SEPARATOR] [--storage-type=STORAGE_TYPE]
       [{-o|--output} FIELDS]
       [node...]

       Lists the available storage units and their details for the given node(s).

       The --no-headers option will skip the initial header line.  The --separator  option  takes
       an argument which denotes what will be used between the output fields.  Both these options
       are to help scripting.

       The units used to display the numeric values  in  the  output  varies,  depending  on  the
       options given.  By default, the values will be formatted in the most appropriate unit.  If
       the --separator option is given, then the values are shown in mebibytes to  allow  parsing
       by scripts.  In both cases, the --units option can be used to enforce a given output unit.

       The --storage-type option can be used to choose a storage unit type.  Possible choices are
       lvm-pv, lvm-vg or file.

       The -o (--output) option takes a comma-separated list of  output  fields.   The  available
       fields and their meaning are:

       node   the node name on which the volume exists

       type   the type of the storage unit (currently just what is passed in via --storage-type)

       name   the path/identifier of the storage unit

       size   total size of the unit; for the file type see a note below

       used   used space in the unit; for the file type see a note below

       free   available disk space

       allocatable
              whether  we  the  unit  is  available  for  allocation (only lvm-pv can change this
              setting, the other types always report true)

       Note that for the "file" type, the total disk space might not equal to the sum of used and
       free,  due  to  the method Ganeti uses to compute each of them.  The total and free values
       are computed as the total and free space values for the filesystem to which the  directory
       belongs,  but  the  used  space is computed from the used space under that directory only,
       which might not be necessarily the root of the filesystem, and  as  such  there  could  be
       files  outside  the  file storage directory using disk space and causing a mismatch in the
       values.

       Example:

              node1# gnt-node list-storage node2
              Node  Type   Name        Size Used   Free Allocatable
              node2 lvm-pv /dev/sda7 673.8G 1.5G 672.3G Y
              node2 lvm-pv /dev/sdb1 698.6G   0M 698.6G Y

   MODIFY-STORAGE
       modify-storage [--allocatable={yes|no}] [--submit] [--print-job-id]
       {node} {storage-type} {volume-name}

       Modifies storage volumes on a node.  Only LVM physical volumes  can  be  modified  at  the
       moment.  They have a storage type of "lvm-pv".

       Example:

              # gnt-node modify-storage --allocatable no node5.example.com lvm-pv /dev/sdb1

   REPAIR-STORAGE
       repair-storage [--ignore-consistency] ]--submit]
       {node} {storage-type} {volume-name}

       Repairs  a storage volume on a node.  Only LVM volume groups can be repaired at this time.
       They have the storage type "lvm-vg".

       On LVM volume groups, repair-storage runs vgreduce --removemissing.

       Caution: Running this command can lead to data loss.  Use it with care.

       The --ignore-consistency option will ignore any inconsistent disks (on  the  nodes  paired
       with this one).  Use of this option is most likely to lead to data-loss.

       Example:

              # gnt-node repair-storage node5.example.com lvm-vg xenvg

   POWERCYCLE
       powercycle [--yes] [--force] [--submit] [--print-job-id] {node}

       This command (tries to) forcefully reboot a node.  It is a command that can be used if the
       node environment is broken, such that the admin can no longer  login  over  SSH,  but  the
       Ganeti node daemon is still working.

       Note  that  this  command  is  not  guaranteed  to  work; it depends on the hypervisor how
       effective is the reboot attempt.  For Linux,  this  command  requires  the  kernel  option
       CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ to be enabled.

       The  --yes  option can be used to skip confirmation, while the --force option is needed if
       the target node is the master node.

       See ganeti(7) for a description of --submit and other common options.

       power [--force] [--ignore-status] [--all] [--power-delay] on|off|cycle|status [nodes]

       This command calls out to out-of-band management to change the power state of given  node.
       With status you get the power status as reported by the out-of-band management script.

       Note  that  this command will only work if the out-of-band functionality is configured and
       enabled on the cluster.  If this is not the case, please use the powercycle command above.

       Using --force you skip the confirmation to do the  operation.   Currently  this  only  has
       effect  on  off  and cycle.  On those two you can not operate on the master.  However, the
       command will provide you with the command to invoke to operate on the master  nerver-mind.
       This is considered harmful and Ganeti does not support the use of it.

       Providing  --ignore-status  will  ignore  the  offline=N state of a node and continue with
       power off.

       --power-delay specifies the time in seconds (factions allowed) waited between powering  on
       the next node.  This is by default 2 seconds but can increased if needed with this option.

       nodes  are  optional.   If  not  provided  it will call out for every node in the cluster.
       Except for the off and cycle command where you've to explicit use --all to select all.

   HEALTH
       health [nodes]

       This command calls out to out-of-band management to ask for the health status  of  all  or
       given  nodes.   The  health  contains  the node name and then the items element with their
       status in a item=status manner.  Where item is script specific and status can  be  one  of
       OK,  WARNING,  CRITICAL  or UNKNOWN.  Items with status WARNING or CRITICAL are logged and
       annotated in the command line output.

   RESTRICTED-COMMAND
       restricted-command [-M] [--sync]
       { -g group command | command nodes...  }

       Executes a restricted command  on  the  specified  nodes.   Restricted  commands  are  not
       arbitrary,  but  must  reside  in  /etc/ganeti/restricted-commands  on a node, either as a
       regular file or as a symlink.  The directory must be owned by root and not  be  world-  or
       group-writable.   If  a  command  fails verification or otherwise fails to start, the node
       daemon log must be consulted for more detailed information.

       Example for running a command on two nodes:

              # gnt-node restricted-command mycommand \
                node1.example.com node2.example.com

       The -g option can be used to run a command only on a specific node group, e.g.:

              # gnt-node restricted-command -g default mycommand

       The -M option can be used to prepend the node name to all command  output  lines.   --sync
       forces the opcode to acquire the node lock(s) in exclusive mode.

   Tags
   ADD-TAGS
       add-tags [--from file] {nodename} {tag...}

       Add  tags  to  the given node.  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-tags {nodename}

       List the tags of the given node.

   REMOVE-TAGS
       remove-tags [--from file] {nodename} {tag...}

       Remove  tags  from  the  given node.  If any of the tags are not existing on the node, 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.
