<h3>Incompatible/important changes<a class="headerlink" href="#incompatible-important-changes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The IAllocator protocol has been extended by a new <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">allocate-secondary</span></code>
request type. Currently, this new request type is only used when in disk
conversion to DRBD no secondary node is specified. As long as this new
feature is not used, a third-party IAllocator not aware of this extension can
be continued to be used.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">htools</span></code> now also take into account N+1 redundancy for plain and shared
storage. To obtain the old behavior, add the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--no-capacity-checks</span></code> option.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hail</span></code> now tries to keep the overall cluster balanced; in particular it
now prefers more empty groups over groups that are internally more balanced.</li>
<li>The option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--no-node-setup</span></code> of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">add</span></code> is disabled.
Instead, the cluster configuration parameter <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">modify_ssh_setup</span></code> is
used to determine whether or not to manipulate the SSH setup of a new
node.</li>
<li>Timeouts for communication with luxid have been increased. As a consequence,
Ganeti tools communicating (directly or indirectly) with luxid also time out
later. Please increase all timeouts for higher level tools interacting with
Ganeti accordingly.</li>

<h3>Important changes and security notes<a class="headerlink" href="#important-changes-and-security-notes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Security release.</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7944</p>
<p>Ganeti provides a RESTful control interface called the RAPI. Its HTTPS
implementation is vulnerable to DoS attacks via client-initiated SSL
parameter renegotiation. While the interface is not meant to be exposed
publicly, due to the fact that it binds to all interfaces, we believe
some users might be exposing it unintentionally and are vulnerable. A
DoS attack can consume resources meant for Ganeti daemons and instances
running on the master node, making both perform badly.</p>
<p>Fixes are not feasible due to the OpenSSL Python library not exposing
functionality needed to disable client-side renegotiation. Instead, we
offer instructions on how to control RAPI’s exposure, along with info
on how RAPI can be setup alongside an HTTPS proxy in case users still
want or need to expose the RAPI interface. The instructions are
outlined in Ganeti’s security document: doc/html/security.html</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7945</p>
<p>Ganeti leaks the DRBD secret through the RAPI interface. Examining job
results after an instance information job reveals the secret. With the
DRBD secret, access to the local cluster network, and ARP poisoning,
an attacker can impersonate a Ganeti node and clone the disks of a
DRBD-based instance. While an attacker with access to the cluster
network is already capable of accessing any data written as DRBD
traffic is unencrypted, having the secret expedites the process and
allows access to the entire disk.</p>
<p>Fixes contained in this release prevent the secret from being exposed
via the RAPI. The DRBD secret can be changed by converting an instance
to plain and back to DRBD, generating a new secret, but redundancy will
be lost until the process completes.
Since attackers with node access are capable of accessing some and
potentially all data even without the secret, we do not recommend that
the secret be changed for existing instances.</p>

<h3>Incompatible/important changes<a class="headerlink" href="#id7" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The SSH security changes reduced the number of nodes which can SSH into
other nodes. Unfortunately enough, the Ganeti implementation of migration
for the xl stack of Xen required SSH to be able to migrate the instance,
leading to a situation where full movement of an instance around the cluster
was not possible. This version fixes the issue by using socat to transfer
instance data. While socat is less secure than SSH, it is about as secure as
xm migrations, and occurs over the secondary network if present. As a
consequence of this change, Xen instance migrations using xl cannot occur
between nodes running 2.14.0 and 2.14.1.</li>

<h3>Incompatible/important changes<a class="headerlink" href="#id15" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The SSH security changes reduced the number of nodes which can SSH into
other nodes. Unfortunately enough, the Ganeti implementation of migration
for the xl stack of Xen required SSH to be able to migrate the instance,
leading to a situation where full movement of an instance around the cluster
was not possible. This version fixes the issue by using socat to transfer
instance data. While socat is less secure than SSH, it is about as secure as
xm migrations, and occurs over the secondary network if present. As a
consequence of this change, Xen instance migrations using xl cannot occur
between nodes running 2.13.0 and 2.13.1.</li>

<div class="section" id="id17">
<h3>Incompatible/important changes<a class="headerlink" href="#id17" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Ganeti now internally retries the instance creation opcode if opportunistic
locking did not acquire nodes with enough free resources. The internal retry
will not use opportunistic locking. In particular, instance creation, even
if opportunistic locking is set, will never fail with ECODE_TEMP_NORES.</li>
<li>The handling of SSH security had undergone a significant change. From
this version on, each node has an individual SSH key pair instead of
sharing one with all nodes of the cluster. From now on, we also
restrict SSH access to master candidates. This means that only master
candidates can ssh into other cluster nodes and all
non-master-candidates cannot. Refer to the UPGRADE notes
for further instructions on the creation and distribution of the keys.</li>
<li>Ganeti now checks hypervisor version compatibility before trying an instance
migration. It errors out if the versions are not compatible. Add the option
–ignore-hvversions to restore the old behavior of only warning.</li>
<li>Node tags starting with htools:migration: or htools:allowmigration: now have
a special meaning to htools(1). See hbal(1) for details.</li>
<li>The LXC hypervisor code has been repaired and improved. Instances cannot be
migrated and cannot have more than one disk, but should otherwise work as with
other hypervisors. OS script changes should not be necessary. LXC version
1.0.0 or higher required.</li>

<h3>New features<a class="headerlink" href="#id18" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>A new job filter rules system allows to define iptables-like rules for the
job scheduler, making it easier to (soft-)drain the job queue, perform
maintenance, and rate-limit selected job types. See gnt-filter(8) for
details.</li>
<li>Ganeti jobs can now be ad-hoc rate limited via the reason trail.
For a set of jobs queued with “–reason=rate-limit:n:label”, the job
scheduler ensures that not more than n will be scheduled to run at the same
time. See ganeti(7), section “Options”, for details.</li>
<li>The monitoring daemon has now variable sleep times for the data
collectors. This currently means that the granularity of cpu-avg-load
can be configured.</li>
<li>The ‘gnt-cluster verify’ command now has the option
‘–verify-ssh-clutter’, which verifies whether Ganeti (accidentally)
cluttered up the ‘authorized_keys’ file.</li>
<li>Instance disks can now be converted from one disk template to another for many
different template combinations. When available, more efficient conversions
will be used, otherwise the disks are simply copied over.</li>

<h3>Important changes and security notes<a class="headerlink" href="#id20" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Security release.</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7944</p>
<p>Ganeti provides a RESTful control interface called the RAPI. Its HTTPS
implementation is vulnerable to DoS attacks via client-initiated SSL
parameter renegotiation. While the interface is not meant to be exposed
publicly, due to the fact that it binds to all interfaces, we believe
some users might be exposing it unintentionally and are vulnerable. A
DoS attack can consume resources meant for Ganeti daemons and instances
running on the master node, making both perform badly.</p>
<p>Fixes are not feasible due to the OpenSSL Python library not exposing
functionality needed to disable client-side renegotiation. Instead, we
offer instructions on how to control RAPI’s exposure, along with info
on how RAPI can be setup alongside an HTTPS proxy in case users still
want or need to expose the RAPI interface. The instructions are
outlined in Ganeti’s security document: doc/html/security.html</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7945</p>
<p>Ganeti leaks the DRBD secret through the RAPI interface. Examining job
results after an instance information job reveals the secret. With the
DRBD secret, access to the local cluster network, and ARP poisoning,
an attacker can impersonate a Ganeti node and clone the disks of a
DRBD-based instance. While an attacker with access to the cluster
network is already capable of accessing any data written as DRBD
traffic is unencrypted, having the secret expedites the process and
allows access to the entire disk.</p>
<p>Fixes contained in this release prevent the secret from being exposed
via the RAPI. The DRBD secret can be changed by converting an instance
to plain and back to DRBD, generating a new secret, but redundancy will
be lost until the process completes.
Since attackers with node access are capable of accessing some and
potentially all data even without the secret, we do not recommend that
the secret be changed for existing instances.</p>

<h3>New features<a class="headerlink" href="#id28" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>OS install script parameters now come in public, private and secret
varieties:<ul>
<li>Public parameters are like all other parameters in Ganeti.</li>
<li>Ganeti will not log private and secret parameters, <em>unless</em> it is running
in debug mode.</li>
<li>Ganeti will not save secret parameters to configuration. Secret parameters
must be supplied every time you install, or reinstall, an instance.</li>
<li>Attempting to override public parameters with private or secret parameters
results in an error. Similarly, you may not use secret parameters to
override private parameters.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The move-instance tool can now attempt to allocate an instance by using
opportunistic locking when an iallocator is used.</li>
<li>The build system creates sample systemd unit files, available under
doc/examples/systemd. These unit files allow systemd to natively
manage and supervise all Ganeti processes.</li>
<li>Different types of compression can be applied during instance moves, including
user-specified ones.</li>
<li>Ganeti jobs now run as separate processes. The jobs are coordinated by
a new daemon “WConfd” that manages cluster’s configuration and locks
for individual jobs. A consequence is that more jobs can run in parallel;
the number is run-time configurable, see “New features” entry
of 2.11.0. To avoid luxid being overloaded with tracking running jobs, it
backs of and only occasionally, in a sequential way, checks if jobs have
finished and schedules new ones. In this way, luxid keeps responsive under
high cluster load. The limit as when to start backing of is also run-time
configurable.</li>
<li>The metadata daemon is now optionally available, as part of the
partial implementation of the OS-installs design. It allows pass
information to OS install scripts or to instances.
It is also possible to run Ganeti without the daemon, if desired.</li>

<h3>Known issues<a class="headerlink" href="#id30" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><p class="first"><em>Wrong UDP checksums in DHCP network packets:</em>
If an instance communicates with the metadata daemon and uses DHCP to
obtain its IP address on the provided virtual network interface,
it can happen that UDP packets have a wrong checksum, due to
a bug in virtio. See for example <a class="reference external" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930962">https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930962</a></p>
<p>Ganeti works around this bug by disabling the UDP checksums on the way
from a host to instances (only on the special metadata communication
network interface) using the ethtool command. Therefore if using
the metadata daemon the host nodes should have this tool available.</p>

<h3>Important changes and security notes<a class="headerlink" href="#id31" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Security release.</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7944</p>
<p>Ganeti provides a RESTful control interface called the RAPI. Its HTTPS
implementation is vulnerable to DoS attacks via client-initiated SSL
parameter renegotiation. While the interface is not meant to be exposed
publicly, due to the fact that it binds to all interfaces, we believe
some users might be exposing it unintentionally and are vulnerable. A
DoS attack can consume resources meant for Ganeti daemons and instances
running on the master node, making both perform badly.</p>
<p>Fixes are not feasible due to the OpenSSL Python library not exposing
functionality needed to disable client-side renegotiation. Instead, we
offer instructions on how to control RAPI’s exposure, along with info
on how RAPI can be setup alongside an HTTPS proxy in case users still
want or need to expose the RAPI interface. The instructions are
outlined in Ganeti’s security document: doc/html/security.html</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7945</p>
<p>Ganeti leaks the DRBD secret through the RAPI interface. Examining job
results after an instance information job reveals the secret. With the
DRBD secret, access to the local cluster network, and ARP poisoning,
an attacker can impersonate a Ganeti node and clone the disks of a
DRBD-based instance. While an attacker with access to the cluster
network is already capable of accessing any data written as DRBD
traffic is unencrypted, having the secret expedites the process and
allows access to the entire disk.</p>
<p>Fixes contained in this release prevent the secret from being exposed
via the RAPI. The DRBD secret can be changed by converting an instance
to plain and back to DRBD, generating a new secret, but redundancy will
be lost until the process completes.
Since attackers with node access are capable of accessing some and
potentially all data even without the secret, we do not recommend that
the secret be changed for existing instances.</p>

<h2>Version 2.11.5<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-11-5" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>(Released Thu, 7 Aug 2014)</em></p>
<p>Inherited from the 2.10 branch:</p>
<p>Important security release. In 2.10.0, the
‘gnt-cluster upgrade’ command was introduced. Before
performing an upgrade, the configuration directory of
the cluster is backed up. Unfortunately, the archive was
written with permissions that make it possible for
non-privileged users to read the archive and thus have
access to cluster and RAPI keys. After this release,
the archive will be created with privileged access only.</p>
<p>We strongly advise you to restrict the permissions of
previously created archives. The archives are found in
/var/lib/ganeti*.tar (unless otherwise configured with
–localstatedir or –with-backup-dir).</p>
<p>If you suspect that non-privileged users have accessed
your archives already, we advise you to renew the
cluster’s crypto keys using ‘gnt-cluster renew-crypto’
and to reset the RAPI credentials by editing
/var/lib/ganeti/rapi_users (respectively under a
different path if configured differently with
–localstatedir).</p>
<p>Other changes included in this release:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fix handling of Xen instance states.</li>
<li>Fix NIC configuration with absent NIC VLAN</li>
<li>Adapt relative path expansion in PATH to new environment</li>

<h3>Incompatible/important changes<a class="headerlink" href="#id33" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">list</span></code> no longer shows disk space information for shared file
disk templates because it is not a node attribute. (For example, if you have
both the file and shared file disk templates enabled, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">list</span></code> now
only shows information about the file disk template.)</li>
<li>The shared file disk template is now in the new ‘sharedfile’ storage type.
As a result, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">list-storage</span> <span class="pre">-t</span> <span class="pre">file</span></code> now only shows information
about the file disk template and you may use <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">list-storage</span> <span class="pre">-t</span>
<span class="pre">sharedfile</span></code> to query storage information for the shared file disk template.</li>
<li>Over luxi, syntactially incorrect queries are now rejected as a whole;
before, a ‘SumbmitManyJobs’ request was partially executed, if the outer
structure of the request was syntactically correct. As the luxi protocol
is internal (external applications are expected to use RAPI), the impact
of this incompatible change should be limited.</li>
<li>Queries for nodes, instances, groups, backups and networks are now
exclusively done via the luxi daemon. Legacy python code was removed,
as well as the –enable-split-queries configuration option.</li>
<li>Orphan volumes errors are demoted to warnings and no longer affect the exit
code of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">verify</span></code>.</li>
<li>RPC security got enhanced by using different client SSL certificates
for each node. In this context ‘gnt-cluster renew-crypto’ got a new
option ‘–new-node-certificates’, which renews the client
certificates of all nodes. After a cluster upgrade from pre-2.11, run
this to create client certificates and activate this feature.</li>

<h3>Important changes and security notes<a class="headerlink" href="#id36" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Security release.</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7944</p>
<p>Ganeti provides a RESTful control interface called the RAPI. Its HTTPS
implementation is vulnerable to DoS attacks via client-initiated SSL
parameter renegotiation. While the interface is not meant to be exposed
publicly, due to the fact that it binds to all interfaces, we believe
some users might be exposing it unintentionally and are vulnerable. A
DoS attack can consume resources meant for Ganeti daemons and instances
running on the master node, making both perform badly.</p>
<p>Fixes are not feasible due to the OpenSSL Python library not exposing
functionality needed to disable client-side renegotiation. Instead, we
offer instructions on how to control RAPI’s exposure, along with info
on how RAPI can be setup alongside an HTTPS proxy in case users still
want or need to expose the RAPI interface. The instructions are
outlined in Ganeti’s security document: doc/html/security.html</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7945</p>
<p>Ganeti leaks the DRBD secret through the RAPI interface. Examining job
results after an instance information job reveals the secret. With the
DRBD secret, access to the local cluster network, and ARP poisoning,
an attacker can impersonate a Ganeti node and clone the disks of a
DRBD-based instance. While an attacker with access to the cluster
network is already capable of accessing any data written as DRBD
traffic is unencrypted, having the secret expedites the process and
allows access to the entire disk.</p>
<p>Fixes contained in this release prevent the secret from being exposed
via the RAPI. The DRBD secret can be changed by converting an instance
to plain and back to DRBD, generating a new secret, but redundancy will
be lost until the process completes.
Since attackers with node access are capable of accessing some and
potentially all data even without the secret, we do not recommend that
the secret be changed for existing instances.</p>

<h2>Version 2.10.7<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-10-7" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>(Released Thu, 7 Aug 2014)</em></p>
<p>Important security release. In 2.10.0, the
‘gnt-cluster upgrade’ command was introduced. Before
performing an upgrade, the configuration directory of
the cluster is backed up. Unfortunately, the archive was
written with permissions that make it possible for
non-privileged users to read the archive and thus have
access to cluster and RAPI keys. After this release,
the archive will be created with privileged access only.</p>
<p>We strongly advise you to restrict the permissions of
previously created archives. The archives are found in
/var/lib/ganeti*.tar (unless otherwise configured with
–localstatedir or –with-backup-dir).</p>
<p>If you suspect that non-privileged users have accessed
your archives already, we advise you to renew the
cluster’s crypto keys using ‘gnt-cluster renew-crypto’
and to reset the RAPI credentials by editing
/var/lib/ganeti/rapi_users (respectively under a
different path if configured differently with
–localstatedir).</p>
<p>Other changes included in this release:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fix handling of Xen instance states.</li>
<li>Fix NIC configuration with absent NIC VLAN</li>
<li>Adapt relative path expansion in PATH to new environment</li>
<li>Exclude archived jobs from configuration backups</li>
<li>Fix RAPI for split query setup</li>
<li>Allow disk hot-remove even with chroot or SM</li>

<h2>Version 2.10.5<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-10-5" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>(Released Mon, 2 Jun 2014)</em></p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Two new options have been added to gnt-group evacuate.
The ‘sequential’ option forces all the evacuation steps to
be carried out sequentially, thus avoiding congestion on a
slow link between node groups. The ‘force-failover’ option
disallows migrations and forces failovers to be used instead.
In this way evacuation to a group with vastly differnet
hypervisor is possible.</li>
<li>In tiered allocation, when looking for ways on how to shrink
an instance, the canoncial path is tried first, i.e., in each
step reduce on the resource most placements are blocked on. Only
if no smaller fitting instance can be found shrinking a single
resource till fit is tried.</li>
<li>For finding the placement of an instance, the duplicate computations
in the computation of the various cluster scores are computed only
once. This significantly improves the performance of hspace for DRBD
on large clusters; for other clusters, a slight performance decrease
might occur. Moreover, due to the changed order, floating point
number inaccuracies accumulate differently, thus resulting in different
cluster scores. It has been verified that the effect of these different
roundings is less than 1e-12.</li>
<li>network queries fixed with respect to instances</li>
<li>relax too strict prerequisite in LUClusterSetParams for DRBD helpers</li>

<h3>Incompatible/important changes<a class="headerlink" href="#id38" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Adding disks with ‘gnt-instance modify’ now waits for the disks to sync per
default. Specify –no-wait-for-sync to override this behavior.</li>
<li>The Ganeti python code now adheres to a private-module layout. In particular,
the module ‘ganeti’ is no longer in the python search path.</li>
<li>On instance allocation, the iallocator now considers non-LVM storage
properly. In particular, actual file storage space information is used
when allocating space for a file/sharedfile instance.</li>
<li>When disabling disk templates cluster-wide, the cluster now first
checks whether there are instances still using those templates.</li>
<li>‘gnt-node list-storage’ now also reports storage information about
file-based storage types.</li>
<li>In case of non drbd instances, export *_SECONDARY environment variables
as empty strings (and not “None”) during ‘instance-migrate’ related hooks.</li>

<h3>New features<a class="headerlink" href="#id39" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">KVM hypervisors can now access RBD storage directly without having to
go through a block device.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">A new command ‘gnt-cluster upgrade’ was added that automates the upgrade
procedure between two Ganeti versions that are both 2.10 or higher.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">The move-instance command can now change disk templates when moving
instances, and does not require any node placement options to be
specified if the destination cluster has a default iallocator.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Users can now change the soundhw and cpuid settings for XEN hypervisors.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Hail and hbal now have the (optional) capability of accessing average CPU
load information through the monitoring daemon, and to use it to dynamically
adapt the allocation of instances.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Hotplug support. Introduce new option ‘–hotplug’ to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">modify</span></code>
so that disk and NIC modifications take effect without the need of actual
reboot. There are a couple of constrains currently for this feature:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li>only KVM hypervisor (versions >= 1.0) supports it,</li>
<li>one can not (yet) hotplug a disk using userspace access mode for RBD</li>
<li>in case of a downgrade instances should suffer a reboot in order to
be migratable (due to core change of runtime files)</li>

‘hs2py-constants’ and the module ‘src/Ganeti/Constants.hs’, with the
exception of socket related constants, which require changing the
cluster configuration file, and HVS related constants, because they
are part of a port of instance queries to Haskell. As a result, these
changes will be part of the next release of Ganeti.</li>

<h3>Important changes and security notes<a class="headerlink" href="#id42" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Security release.</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7944</p>
<p>Ganeti provides a RESTful control interface called the RAPI. Its HTTPS
implementation is vulnerable to DoS attacks via client-initiated SSL
parameter renegotiation. While the interface is not meant to be exposed
publicly, due to the fact that it binds to all interfaces, we believe
some users might be exposing it unintentionally and are vulnerable. A
DoS attack can consume resources meant for Ganeti daemons and instances
running on the master node, making both perform badly.</p>
<p>Fixes are not feasible due to the OpenSSL Python library not exposing
functionality needed to disable client-side renegotiation. Instead, we
offer instructions on how to control RAPI’s exposure, along with info
on how RAPI can be setup alongside an HTTPS proxy in case users still
want or need to expose the RAPI interface. The instructions are
outlined in Ganeti’s security document: doc/html/security.html</p>
<p>CVE-2015-7945</p>
<p>Ganeti leaks the DRBD secret through the RAPI interface. Examining job
results after an instance information job reveals the secret. With the
DRBD secret, access to the local cluster network, and ARP poisoning,
an attacker can impersonate a Ganeti node and clone the disks of a
DRBD-based instance. While an attacker with access to the cluster
network is already capable of accessing any data written as DRBD
traffic is unencrypted, having the secret expedites the process and
allows access to the entire disk.</p>
<p>Fixes contained in this release prevent the secret from being exposed
via the RAPI. The DRBD secret can be changed by converting an instance
to plain and back to DRBD, generating a new secret, but redundancy will
be lost until the process completes.
Since attackers with node access are capable of accessing some and
potentially all data even without the secret, we do not recommend that
the secret be changed for existing instances.</p>

<ul class="simple">
<li>hroller now also plans for capacity to move non-redundant instances off
any node to be rebooted; the old behavior of completely ignoring any
non-redundant instances can be restored by adding the –ignore-non-redundant
option.</li>
<li>The cluster option ‘–no-lvm-storage’ was removed in favor of the new option
‘–enabled-disk-templates’.</li>
<li>On instance creation, disk templates no longer need to be specified
with ‘-t’. The default disk template will be taken from the list of
enabled disk templates.</li>
<li>The monitoring daemon is now running as root, in order to be able to collect
information only available to root (such as the state of Xen instances).</li>
<li>The ConfD client is now IPv6 compatible.</li>
<li>File and shared file storage is no longer dis/enabled at configure time,
but using the option ‘–enabled-disk-templates’ at cluster initialization and
modification.</li>
<li>The default directories for file and shared file storage are not anymore
specified at configure time, but taken from the cluster’s configuration.
They can be set at cluster initialization and modification with
‘–file-storage-dir’ and ‘–shared-file-storage-dir’.</li>
<li>Cluster verification now includes stricter checks regarding the
default file and shared file storage directories. It now checks that
the directories are explicitly allowed in the ‘file-storage-paths’ file and
that the directories exist on all nodes.</li>
<li>The list of allowed disk templates in the instance policy and the list
of cluster-wide enabled disk templates is now checked for consistency
on cluster or group modification. On cluster initialization, the ipolicy
disk templates are ensured to be a subset of the cluster-wide enabled
disk templates.</li>

the correct command syntax. It is possible to use different DRBD versions
on different nodes as long as they are compatible to each other. This
enables rolling upgrades of DRBD with no downtime. As permanent operation
of different DRBD versions within a node group is discouraged,
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">verify</span></code> will emit a warning if it detects such a situation.</li>
<li>New “inst-status-xen” data collector for the monitoring daemon, providing
information about the state of the xen instances on the nodes.</li>
<li>New “lv” data collector for the monitoring daemon, collecting data about the
logical volumes on the nodes, and pairing them with the name of the instances
they belong to.</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Instance policy can contain multiple instance specs, as described in
the “Constrained instance sizes” section of <a class="reference internal" href="design-partitioned.html"><span class="doc">Partitioned Ganeti</span></a>. As a consequence, it’s not possible to partially change
or override instance specs. Bounding specs (min and max) can be specified as a
whole using the new option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--ipolicy-bounds-specs</span></code>, while standard
specs use the new option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--ipolicy-std-specs</span></code>.</li>
<li>The output of the info command of gnt-cluster, gnt-group, gnt-node,
gnt-instance is a valid YAML object.</li>
<li>hail now honors network restrictions when allocating nodes. This led to an
update of the IAllocator protocol. See the IAllocator documentation for
details.</li>
<li>confd now only answers static configuration request over the network. luxid
was extracted, listens on the local LUXI socket and responds to live queries.
This allows finer grained permissions if using separate users.</li>

<h3>New features<a class="headerlink" href="#id48" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="rapi.html"><span class="doc">Remote API</span></a> daemon now supports a command line flag
to always require authentication, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--require-authentication</span></code>. It can
be specified in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$sysconfdir/default/ganeti</span></code>.</li>
<li>A new cluster attribute ‘enabled_disk_templates’ is introduced. It will
be used to manage the disk templates to be used by instances in the cluster.
Initially, it will be set to a list that includes plain, drbd, if they were
enabled by specifying a volume group name, and file and sharedfile, if those
were enabled at configure time. Additionally, it will include all disk
templates that are currently used by instances. The order of disk templates
will be based on Ganeti’s history of supporting them. In the future, the
first entry of the list will be used as a default disk template on instance
creation.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cfgupgrade</span></code> now supports a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--downgrade</span></code> option to bring the
configuration back to the previous stable version.</li>
<li>Disk templates in group ipolicy can be restored to the default value.</li>
<li>Initial support for diskless instances and virtual clusters in QA.</li>
<li>More QA and unit tests for instance policies.</li>
<li>Every opcode now contains a reason trail (visible through <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-job</span> <span class="pre">info</span></code>)
describing why the opcode itself was executed.</li>
<li>The monitoring daemon is now available. It allows users to query the cluster
for obtaining information about the status of the system. The daemon is only
responsible for providing the information over the network: the actual data
gathering is performed by data collectors (currently, only the DRBD status
collector is available).</li>
<li>In order to help developers work on Ganeti, a new script
(<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">devel/build_chroot</span></code>) is provided, for building a chroot that contains all
the required development libraries and tools for compiling Ganeti on a Debian
Squeeze system.</li>
<li>A new tool, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">harep</span></code>, for performing self-repair and recreation of instances
in Ganeti has been added.</li>
<li>Split queries are enabled for tags, network, exports, cluster info, groups,
jobs, nodes.</li>
<li>New command <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">show-ispecs-cmd</span></code> for <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-group</span></code>.
It prints the command line to set the current policies, to ease
changing them.</li>
<li>Add the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vnet_hdr</span></code> HV parameter for KVM, to control whether the tap
devices for KVM virtio-net interfaces will get created with VNET_HDR
(IFF_VNET_HDR) support. If set to false, it disables offloading on the
virtio-net interfaces, which prevents host kernel tainting and log
flooding, when dealing with broken or malicious virtio-net drivers.
It’s set to true by default.</li>
<li>Instance failover now supports a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--cleanup</span></code> parameter for fixing previous
failures.</li>
<li>Support ‘viridian’ parameter in Xen HVM</li>
<li>Support DSA SSH keys in bootstrap</li>

upgraded. The reason for requiring this list of paths now is that
before it would have been possible to inject new paths via RPC,
allowing files to be created in arbitrary locations. The RPC protocol
is protected using SSL/X.509 certificates, but as a design principle
Ganeti does not permit arbitrary paths to be passed.</li>
<li>The parsing of the variants file for OSes (see
<em class="manpage">ganeti-os-interface(7)</em>) has been slightly changed: now empty
lines and comment lines (starting with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">#</span></code>) are ignored for better
readability.</li>
<li>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">setup-ssh</span></code> tool added in Ganeti 2.2 has been replaced and is no
longer available. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">add</span></code> now invokes a new tool on the
destination node, named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">prepare-node-join</span></code>, to configure the SSH
daemon. Paramiko is no longer necessary to configure nodes’ SSH
daemons via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">add</span></code>.</li>
<li>Draining (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">queue</span> <span class="pre">drain</span></code>) and un-draining the job queue
(<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">queue</span> <span class="pre">undrain</span></code>) now affects all nodes in a cluster and
the flag is not reset after a master failover.</li>
<li>Python 2.4 has <em>not</em> been tested with this release. Using 2.6 or above
is recommended. 2.6 will be mandatory from the 2.8 series.</li>

<h3>New features<a class="headerlink" href="#id51" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>New network management functionality to support automatic allocation
of IP addresses and managing of network parameters. See
<em class="manpage">gnt-network(8)</em> for more details.</li>
<li>New external storage backend, to allow managing arbitrary storage
systems external to the cluster. See
<em class="manpage">ganeti-extstorage-interface(7)</em>.</li>
<li>New <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">exclusive-storage</span></code> node parameter added, restricted to
nodegroup level. When it’s set to true, physical disks are assigned in
an exclusive fashion to instances, as documented in <a class="reference internal" href="design-partitioned.html"><span class="doc">Partitioned
Ganeti</span></a>. Currently, only instances using the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">plain</span></code> disk template are supported.</li>
<li>The KVM hypervisor has been updated with many new hypervisor
parameters, including a generic one for passing arbitrary command line
values. See a complete list in <em class="manpage">gnt-instance(8)</em>. It is now
compatible up to qemu 1.4.</li>
<li>A new tool, called <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mon-collector</span></code>, is the stand-alone executor of
the data collectors for a monitoring system. As of this version, it
just includes the DRBD data collector, that can be executed by calling
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mon-collector</span></code> using the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">drbd</span></code> parameter. See
<em class="manpage">mon-collector(7)</em>.</li>
<li>A new user option, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">read</span></code>, has been added
for RAPI users. It allows granting permissions to query for
information to a specific user without giving
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">write</span></code> permissions.</li>
<li>A new tool named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">node-cleanup</span></code> has been added. It cleans remains of
a cluster from a machine by stopping all daemons, removing
certificates and ssconf files. Unless the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--no-backup</span></code> option is
given, copies of the certificates are made.</li>
<li>Instance creations now support the use of opportunistic locking,
potentially speeding up the (parallel) creation of multiple instances.
This feature is currently only available via the <a class="reference internal" href="rapi.html"><span class="doc">RAPI</span></a> interface and when an instance allocator is used. If the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">opportunistic_locking</span></code> parameter is set the opcode will try to
acquire as many locks as possible, but will not wait for any locks
held by other opcodes. If not enough resources can be found to
allocate the instance, the temporary error code
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">temp_insufficient_resources</span></code> is returned. The operation can be
retried thereafter, with or without opportunistic locking.</li>
<li>New experimental linux-ha resource scripts.</li>
<li>Restricted-commands support: ganeti can now be asked (via command line
or rapi) to perform commands on a node. These are passed via ganeti
RPC rather than ssh. This functionality is restricted to commands
specified on the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$sysconfdir/ganeti/restricted-commands</span></code> for security
reasons. The file is not copied automatically.</li>

<h3>Misc changes<a class="headerlink" href="#id52" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Diskless instances are now externally mirrored (Issue 237). This for
now has only been tested in conjunction with explicit target nodes for
migration/failover.</li>
<li>Queries not needing locks or RPC access to the node can now be
performed by the confd daemon, making them independent from jobs, and
thus faster to execute. This is selectable at configure time.</li>

<h2>Version 2.6.2<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-6-2" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>(Released Fri, 21 Dec 2012)</em></p>
<p>Important behaviour change: hbal won’t rebalance anymore instances which
have the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">auto_balance</span></code> attribute set to false. This was the intention
all along, but until now it only skipped those from the N+1 memory
reservation (DRBD-specific).</p>
<p>A significant number of bug fixes in this release:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fixed disk adoption interaction with ipolicy checks.</li>
<li>Fixed networking issues when instances are started, stopped or
migrated, by forcing the tap device’s MAC prefix to “fe” (issue 217).</li>
<li>Fixed the warning in cluster verify for shared storage instances not
being redundant.</li>
<li>Fixed removal of storage directory on shared file storage (issue 262).</li>
<li>Fixed validation of LVM volume group name in OpClusterSetParams
(<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">modify</span></code>) (issue 285).</li>
<li>Fixed runtime memory increases (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">modify</span> <span class="pre">-m</span></code>).</li>
<li>Fixed live migration under Xen’s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">xl</span></code> mode.</li>
<li>Fixed <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">console</span></code> with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">xl</span></code>.</li>
<li>Fixed building with newer Haskell compiler/libraries.</li>
<li>Fixed PID file writing in Haskell daemons (confd); this prevents
restart issues if confd was launched manually (outside of
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">daemon-util</span></code>) while another copy of it was running</li>
<li>Fixed a type error when doing live migrations with KVM (issue 297) and
the error messages for failing migrations have been improved.</li>
<li>Fixed opcode validation for the out-of-band commands (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span>
<span class="pre">power</span></code>).</li>
<li>Fixed a type error when unsetting OS hypervisor parameters (issue
311); now it’s possible to unset all OS-specific hypervisor
parameters.</li>
<li>Fixed the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dry-run</span></code> mode for many operations: verification of
results was over-zealous but didn’t take into account the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dry-run</span></code>
operation, resulting in “wrong” failures.</li>
<li>Fixed bash completion in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-job</span> <span class="pre">list</span></code> when the job queue has
hundreds of entries; especially with older <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bash</span></code> versions, this
results in significant CPU usage.</li>
</ul>
<p>And lastly, a few other improvements have been made:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Added option to force master-failover without voting (issue 282).</li>
<li>Clarified error message on lock conflict (issue 287).</li>
<li>Logging of newly submitted jobs has been improved (issue 290).</li>
<li>Hostname checks have been made uniform between instance rename and
create (issue 291).</li>
<li>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--submit</span></code> option is now supported by <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-debug</span> <span class="pre">delay</span></code>.</li>
<li>Shutting down the master daemon by sending SIGTERM now stops it from
processing jobs waiting for locks; instead, those jobs will be started
once again after the master daemon is started the next time (issue
296).</li>
<li>Support for Xen’s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">xl</span></code> program has been improved (besides the fixes
above).</li>
<li>Reduced logging noise in the Haskell confd daemon (only show one log
entry for each config reload, instead of two).</li>
<li>Several man page updates and typo fixes.</li>

<h4>Instance run status<a class="headerlink" href="#instance-run-status" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>The current <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">admin_up</span></code> field, which used to denote whether an instance
should be running or not, has been removed. Instead, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">admin_state</span></code> is
introduced, with 3 possible values – <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">up</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">down</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">offline</span></code>.</p>
<p>The rational behind this is that an instance being “down” can have
different meanings:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>it could be down during a reboot</li>
<li>it could be temporarily be down for a reinstall</li>
<li>or it could be down because it is deprecated and kept just for its
disk</li>
</ul>
<p>The previous Boolean state was making it difficult to do capacity
calculations: should Ganeti reserve memory for a down instance? Now, the
tri-state field makes it clear:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">up</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">down</span></code> state, all resources are reserved for the
instance, and it can be at any time brought up if it is down</li>
<li>in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">offline</span></code> state, only disk space is reserved for it, but not
memory or CPUs</li>
</ul>
<p>The field can have an extra use: since the transition between <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">up</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">down</span></code> and vice-versus is done via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">start/stop</span></code>, but
transition between <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">offline</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">down</span></code> is done via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span>
<span class="pre">modify</span></code>, it is possible to given different rights to users. For
example, owners of an instance could be allowed to start/stop it, but
not transition it out of the offline state.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="instance-policies-and-specs">
<h4>Instance policies and specs<a class="headerlink" href="#instance-policies-and-specs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>In previous Ganeti versions, an instance creation request was not
limited on the minimum size and on the maximum size just by the cluster
resources. As such, any policy could be implemented only in third-party
clients (RAPI clients, or shell wrappers over <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-*</span></code>
tools). Furthermore, calculating cluster capacity via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hspace</span></code> again
required external input with regards to instance sizes.</p>
<p>In order to improve these workflows and to allow for example better
per-node group differentiation, we introduced instance specs, which
allow declaring:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>minimum instance disk size, disk count, memory size, cpu count</li>
<li>maximum values for the above metrics</li>
<li>and “standard” values (used in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hspace</span></code> to calculate the standard
sized instances)</li>
</ul>
<p>The minimum/maximum values can be also customised at node-group level,
for example allowing more powerful hardware to support bigger instance
memory sizes.</p>
<p>Beside the instance specs, there are a few other settings belonging to
the instance policy framework. It is possible now to customise, per
cluster and node-group:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>the list of allowed disk templates</li>
<li>the maximum ratio of VCPUs per PCPUs (to control CPU oversubscription)</li>
<li>the maximum ratio of instance to spindles (see below for more
information) for local storage</li>
</ul>
<p>All these together should allow all tools that talk to Ganeti to know
what are the ranges of allowed values for instances and the
over-subscription that is allowed.</p>
<p>For the VCPU/PCPU ratio, we already have the VCPU configuration from the
instance configuration, and the physical CPU configuration from the
node. For the spindle ratios however, we didn’t track before these
values, so new parameters have been added:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>a new node parameter <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">spindle_count</span></code>, defaults to 1, customisable at
node group or node level</li>
<li>at new backend parameter (for instances), <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">spindle_use</span></code> defaults to 1</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that spindles in this context doesn’t need to mean actual
mechanical hard-drives; it’s just a relative number for both the node
I/O capacity and instance I/O consumption.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="instance-migration-behaviour">
<h4>Instance migration behaviour<a class="headerlink" href="#instance-migration-behaviour" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>While live-migration is in general desirable over failover, it is
possible that for some workloads it is actually worse, due to the
variable time of the “suspend” phase during live migration.</p>
<p>To allow the tools to work consistently over such instances (without
having to hard-code instance names), a new backend parameter
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">always_failover</span></code> has been added to control the migration/failover
behaviour. When set to True, all migration requests for an instance will
instead fall-back to failover.</p>

<h4>Instance memory ballooning<a class="headerlink" href="#instance-memory-ballooning" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Initial support for memory ballooning has been added. The memory for an
instance is no longer fixed (backend parameter <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">memory</span></code>), but instead
can vary between minimum and maximum values (backend parameters
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">minmem</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">maxmem</span></code>). Currently we only change an instance’s
memory when:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>live migrating or failing over and instance and the target node
doesn’t have enough memory</li>
<li>user requests changing the memory via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">modify</span>

<h4>Instance CPU pinning<a class="headerlink" href="#instance-cpu-pinning" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>In order to control the use of specific CPUs by instance, support for
controlling CPU pinning has been added for the Xen, HVM and LXC
hypervisors. This is controlled by a new hypervisor parameter
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cpu_mask</span></code>; details about possible values for this are in the
<em class="manpage">gnt-instance(8)</em>. Note that use of the most specific (precise
VCPU-to-CPU mapping) form will work well only when all nodes in your
cluster have the same amount of CPUs.</p>

<div class="section" id="disk-parameters">
<h4>Disk parameters<a class="headerlink" href="#disk-parameters" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Another area in which Ganeti was not customisable were the parameters
used for storage configuration, e.g. how many stripes to use for LVM,
DRBD resync configuration, etc.</p>
<p>To improve this area, we’ve added disks parameters, which are
customisable at cluster and node group level, and which allow to
specify various parameters for disks (DRBD has the most parameters
currently), for example:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>DRBD resync algorithm and parameters (e.g. speed)</li>
<li>the default VG for meta-data volumes for DRBD</li>
<li>number of stripes for LVM (plain disk template)</li>
<li>the RBD pool</li>
</ul>
<p>These parameters can be modified via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">modify</span> <span class="pre">-D</span> <span class="pre">…</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-group</span> <span class="pre">modify</span> <span class="pre">-D</span> <span class="pre">…</span></code>, and are used at either instance creation (in
case of LVM stripes, for example) or at disk “activation” time
(e.g. resync speed).</p>

<h4>Master IP setup<a class="headerlink" href="#master-ip-setup" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>The existing master IP functionality works well only in simple setups (a
single network shared by all nodes); however, if nodes belong to
different networks, then the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/32</span></code> setup and lack of routing
information is not enough.</p>
<p>To allow the master IP to function well in more complex cases, the
system was reworked as follows:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>a master IP netmask setting has been added</li>
<li>the master IP activation/turn-down code was moved from the node daemon
to a separate script</li>
<li>whether to run the Ganeti-supplied master IP script or a user-supplied

<p>The configuration query daemon (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ganeti-confd</span></code>) is now optional, and
has been rewritten in Haskell; whether to use the daemon at all, use the
Python (default) or the Haskell version is selectable at configure time
via the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--enable-confd</span></code> parameter, which can take one of the

<p>If you want to use <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">list-drbd</span></code> you need to have the Haskell

<p>We have replaced the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--disks</span></code> option of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span>
<span class="pre">replace-disks</span></code> with a more flexible <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--disk</span></code> option, which allows
adding and removing disks at arbitrary indices (Issue 188). Furthermore,
disk size and mode can be changed upon recreation (via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span>
<span class="pre">recreate-disks</span></code>, which accepts the same <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--disk</span></code> option).</p>
<p>As many people are used to a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">show</span></code> command, we have added that as an
alias to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">info</span></code> on all <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-*</span></code> commands.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">grow-disk</span></code> command has a new mode in which it can
accept the target size of the disk, instead of the delta; this can be
more safe since two runs in absolute mode will be idempotent, and
sometimes it’s also easier to specify the desired size directly.</p>
<p>Also the handling of instances with regard to offline secondaries has
been improved. Instance operations should not fail because one of it’s
secondary nodes is offline, even though it’s safe to proceed.</p>
<p>A new command <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">list-drbd</span></code> has been added to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span></code> script to

<p>RAPI client: <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CertificateError</span></code> now derives from

<p>Deprecation warnings due to PyCrypto/paramiko import in

still works with Python 2.4).</p>
<p>The configuration file (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.data</span></code>) is now written without
indentation for performance reasons; if you want to edit it, it can be
re-formatted via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tools/fmtjson</span></code>.</p>
<p>A number of bugs has been fixed in the cluster merge tool.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">x509</span></code> certification verification (used in import-export) has been

<p>A small bugfix release.</p>
<p>The main issues solved are on the topic of compatibility with newer LVM

<p>Also on the topic of compatibility, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tools/lvmstrap</span></code> has been changed
to accept kernel 3.x too (was hardcoded to 2.6.*).</p>
<p>A regression present in 2.5.0 that broke handling (in the gnt-* scripts)
of hook results and that also made display of other errors suboptimal
was fixed; the code behaves now like 2.4 and earlier.</p>
<p>Another change in 2.5, the cleanup of the OS scripts environment, is too
aggressive: it removed even the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PATH</span></code> variable, which requires the OS
scripts to <em>always</em> need to export it. Since this is a bit too strict,
we now export a minimal PATH, the same that we export for hooks.</p>
<p>The fix for issue 201 (Preserve bridge MTU in KVM ifup script) was
integrated into this release.</p>
<p>Finally, a few other miscellaneous changes were done (no new features,
just small improvements):</p>

<p><em>(Released Thu, 12 May 2011)</em></p>
<p>Many bug-fixes and a few new small features:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fixed a bug related to log opening failures</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in instance listing with orphan instances</li>
<li>Fixed a bug which prevented resetting the cluster-level node parameter
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">oob_program</span></code> to the default</li>
<li>Many fixes related to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cluster-merge</span></code> tool</li>
<li>Fixed a race condition in the lock monitor, which caused failures
during (at least) creation of many instances in parallel</li>
<li>Improved output for gnt-job info</li>
<li>Removed the quiet flag on some ssh calls which prevented debugging
failures</li>
<li>Improved the N+1 failure messages in cluster verify by actually
showing the memory values (needed and available)</li>
<li>Increased lock attempt timeouts so that when executing long operations
(e.g. DRBD replace-disks) other jobs do not enter ‘blocking acquire’
too early and thus prevent the use of the ‘fair’ mechanism</li>
<li>Changed instance query data (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">info</span></code>) to not acquire
locks unless needed, thus allowing its use on locked instance if only
static information is asked for</li>
<li>Improved behaviour with filesystems that do not support rename on an
opened file</li>
<li>Fixed the behaviour of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">prealloc_wipe_disks</span></code> cluster parameter which
kept locks on all nodes during the wipe, which is unneeded</li>
<li>Fixed <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-watcher</span></code> handling of errors during hooks execution</li>
<li>Fixed bug in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">prealloc_wipe_disks</span></code> with small disk sizes (less than
10GiB) which caused the wipe to fail right at the end in some cases</li>
<li>Fixed master IP activation when doing master failover with no-voting</li>
<li>Fixed bug in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">add</span> <span class="pre">--readd</span></code> which allowed the re-adding of
the master node itself</li>
<li>Fixed potential data-loss in under disk full conditions, where Ganeti
wouldn’t check correctly the return code and would consider
partially-written files ‘correct’</li>
<li>Fixed bug related to multiple VGs and DRBD disk replacing</li>
<li>Added new disk parameter <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">metavg</span></code> that allows placement of the meta
device for DRBD in a different volume group</li>
<li>Fixed error handling in the node daemon when the system libc doesn’t
have major number 6 (i.e. if <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libc.so.6</span></code> is not the actual libc)</li>
<li>Fixed lock release during replace-disks, which kept cluster-wide locks
when doing disk replaces with an iallocator script</li>
<li>Added check for missing bridges in cluster verify</li>
<li>Handle EPIPE errors while writing to the terminal better, so that
piping the output to e.g. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">less</span></code> doesn’t cause a backtrace</li>
<li>Fixed rare case where a ^C during Luxi calls could have been
interpreted as server errors, instead of simply terminating</li>
<li>Fixed a race condition in LUGroupAssignNodes (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-group</span>
<span class="pre">assign-nodes</span></code>)</li>
<li>Added a few more parameters to the KVM hypervisor, allowing a second
CDROM, custom disk type for CDROMs and a floppy image</li>
<li>Removed redundant message in instance rename when the name is given
already as a FQDN</li>
<li>Added option to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">recreate-disks</span></code> to allow creating the
disks on new nodes, allowing recreation when the original instance
nodes are completely gone</li>
<li>Added option when converting disk templates to DRBD to skip waiting
for the resync, in order to make the instance available sooner</li>
<li>Added two new variables to the OS scripts environment (containing the
instance’s nodes)</li>
<li>Made the root_path and optional parameter for the xen-pvm hypervisor,
to allow use of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pvgrub</span></code> as bootloader</li>
<li>Changed the instance memory modifications to only check out-of-memory
conditions on memory increases, and turned the secondary node warnings
into errors (they can still be overridden via <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--force</span></code>)</li>
<li>Fixed the handling of a corner case when the Python installation gets
corrupted (e.g. a bad disk) while ganeti-noded is running and we try
to execute a command that doesn’t exist</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">move</span></code> (LUInstanceMove) when the primary
node of the instance returned failures during instance shutdown; this
adds the option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--ignore-consistency</span></code> to gnt-instance move</li>

and man pages.</p>

<h2>Version 2.2.0 rc0<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-2-0-rc0" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>(Released Fri, 30 Jul 2010)</em></p>
<p>Important change: the internal RPC mechanism between Ganeti nodes has
changed from using a home-grown http library (based on the Python base
libraries) to use the PycURL library. This requires that PycURL is
installed on nodes. Please note that on Debian/Ubuntu, PycURL is linked
against GnuTLS by default. cURL’s support for GnuTLS had known issues
before cURL 7.21.0 and we recommend using the latest cURL release or
linking against OpenSSL. Most other distributions already link PycURL
and cURL against OpenSSL. The command:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">python</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">c</span> <span class="s1">'import pycurl; print pycurl.version'</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>can be used to determine the libraries PycURL and cURL are linked
against.</p>
<p>Other significant changes:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Rewrote much of the internals of the job queue, in order to achieve
better parallelism; this decouples job query operations from the job
processing, and it should allow much nicer behaviour of the master
daemon under load, and it also has uncovered some long-standing bugs
related to the job serialisation (now fixed)</li>
<li>Added a default iallocator setting to the cluster parameters,
eliminating the need to always pass nodes or an iallocator for
operations that require selection of new node(s)</li>
<li>Added experimental support for the LXC virtualization method</li>
<li>Added support for OS parameters, which allows the installation of
instances to pass parameter to OS scripts in order to customise the
instance</li>
<li>Added a hypervisor parameter controlling the migration type (live or
non-live), since hypervisors have various levels of reliability; this
has renamed the ‘live’ parameter to ‘mode’</li>
<li>Added a cluster parameter <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reserved_lvs</span></code> that denotes reserved
logical volumes, meaning that cluster verify will ignore them and not
flag their presence as errors</li>
<li>The watcher will now reset the error count for failed instances after
8 hours, thus allowing self-healing if the problem that caused the
instances to be down/fail to start has cleared in the meantime</li>
<li>Added a cluster parameter <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">drbd_usermode_helper</span></code> that makes Ganeti
check for, and warn, if the drbd module parameter <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">usermode_helper</span></code>
is not consistent with the cluster-wide setting; this is needed to
make diagnose easier of failed drbd creations</li>
<li>Started adding base IPv6 support, but this is not yet
enabled/available for use</li>
<li>Rename operations (cluster, instance) will now return the new name,
which is especially useful if a short name was passed in</li>
<li>Added support for instance migration in RAPI</li>
<li>Added a tool to pre-configure nodes for the SSH setup, before joining
them to the cluster; this will allow in the future a simplified model
for node joining (but not yet fully enabled in 2.2); this needs the
paramiko python library</li>
<li>Fixed handling of name-resolving errors</li>
<li>Fixed consistency of job results on the error path</li>
<li>Fixed master-failover race condition when executed multiple times in
sequence</li>
<li>Fixed many bugs related to the job queue (mostly introduced during the
2.2 development cycle, so not all are impacting 2.1)</li>
<li>Fixed instance migration with missing disk symlinks</li>
<li>Fixed handling of unknown jobs in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-job</span> <span class="pre">archive</span></code></li>
<li>And many other small fixes/improvements</li>
</ul>
<p>Internal changes:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Enhanced both the unittest and the QA coverage</li>
<li>Switched the opcode validation to a generic model, and extended the
validation to all opcode parameters</li>
<li>Changed more parts of the code that write shell scripts to use the
same class for this</li>
<li>Switched the master daemon to use the asyncore library for the Luxi
server endpoint</li>

<h2>Version 2.1.3<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-1-3" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>(Released Thu, 3 Jun 2010)</em></p>

fixes/small improvements/cleanups.</p>
<div class="section" id="significant-features">
<h3>Significant features<a class="headerlink" href="#significant-features" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The node daemon now tries to mlock itself into memory, unless the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--no-mlock</span></code> flag is passed. It also doesn’t fail if it can’t write
its logs, and falls back to console logging. This allows emergency
features such as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">powercycle</span></code> to work even in the event of a
broken node disk (tested offlining the disk hosting the node’s
filesystem and dropping its memory caches; don’t try this at home)</p>
<p>KVM: add vhost-net acceleration support. It can be tested with a new
enough version of the kernel and of qemu-kvm.</p>
<p>KVM: Add instance chrooting feature. If you use privilege dropping for
your VMs you can also now force them to chroot to an empty directory,
before starting the emulated guest.</p>
<p>KVM: Add maximum migration bandwith and maximum downtime tweaking
support (requires a new-enough version of qemu-kvm).</p>
<p>Cluster verify will now warn if the master node doesn’t have the master
ip configured on it.</p>
<p>Add a new (incompatible) instance creation request format to RAPI which
supports all parameters (previously only a subset was supported, and it
wasn’t possible to extend the old format to accomodate all the new
features. The old format is still supported, and a client can check for
this feature, before using it, by checking for its presence in the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">features</span></code> RAPI resource.</p>
<p>Now with ancient latin support. Try it passing the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--roman</span></code> option to
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span> <span class="pre">info</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">info</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">list</span></code>

<h2>Version 2.1.2<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-1-2" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>(Released Fri, 7 May 2010)</em></p>
<p>Another release with a long development cycle, during which many
different features were added.</p>
<div class="section" id="id57">
<h3>Significant features<a class="headerlink" href="#id57" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The KVM hypervisor now can run the individual instances as non-root, to
reduce the impact of a VM being hijacked due to bugs in the
hypervisor. It is possible to run all instances as a single (non-root)
user, to manually specify a user for each instance, or to dynamically
allocate a user out of a cluster-wide pool to each instance, with the
guarantee that no two instances will run under the same user ID on any
given node.</p>
<p>An experimental RAPI client library, that can be used standalone
(without the other Ganeti libraries), is provided in the source tree as
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lib/rapi/client.py</span></code>. Note this client might change its interface in
the future, as we iterate on its capabilities.</p>
<p>A new command, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">renew-crypto</span></code> has been added to easily
replace the cluster’s certificates and crypto keys. This might help in
case they have been compromised, or have simply expired.</p>
<p>A new disk option for instance creation has been added that allows one
to “adopt” currently existing logical volumes, with data
preservation. This should allow easier migration to Ganeti from
unmanaged (or managed via other software) instances.</p>
<p>Another disk improvement is the possibility to convert between redundant
(DRBD) and plain (LVM) disk configuration for an instance. This should
allow better scalability (starting with one node and growing the
cluster, or shrinking a two-node cluster to one node).</p>
<p>A new feature that could help with automated node failovers has been
implemented: if a node sees itself as offline (by querying the master
candidates), it will try to shutdown (hard) all instances and any active
DRBD devices. This reduces the risk of duplicate instances if an
external script automatically failovers the instances on such nodes. To
enable this, the cluster parameter <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">maintain_node_health</span></code> should be
enabled; in the future this option (per the name) will enable other
automatic maintenance features.</p>
<p>Instance export/import now will reuse the original instance
specifications for all parameters; that means exporting an instance,
deleting it and the importing it back should give an almost identical
instance. Note that the default import behaviour has changed from
before, where it created only one NIC; now it recreates the original
number of NICs.</p>
<p>Cluster verify has added a few new checks: SSL certificates validity,
/etc/hosts consistency across the cluster, etc.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="id58">
<h3>Other changes<a class="headerlink" href="#id58" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>As usual, many internal changes were done, documentation fixes,
etc. Among others:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fixed cluster initialization with disabled cluster storage (regression
introduced in 2.1.1)</li>
<li>File-based storage supports growing the disks</li>
<li>Fixed behaviour of node role changes</li>
<li>Fixed cluster verify for some corner cases, plus a general rewrite of
cluster verify to allow future extension with more checks</li>
<li>Fixed log spamming by watcher and node daemon (regression introduced
in 2.1.1)</li>
<li>Fixed possible validation issues when changing the list of enabled
hypervisors</li>
<li>Fixed cleanup of /etc/hosts during node removal</li>
<li>Fixed RAPI response for invalid methods</li>
<li>Fixed bug with hashed passwords in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ganeti-rapi</span></code> daemon</li>
<li>Multiple small improvements to the KVM hypervisor (VNC usage, booting
from ide disks, etc.)</li>
<li>Allow OS changes without re-installation (to record a changed OS
outside of Ganeti, or to allow OS renames)</li>
<li>Allow instance creation without OS installation (useful for example if
the OS will be installed manually, or restored from a backup not in
Ganeti format)</li>
<li>Implemented option to make cluster <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyfile</span></code> use the replication
network</li>
<li>Added list of enabled hypervisors to ssconf (possibly useful for
external scripts)</li>
<li>Added a new tool (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tools/cfgupgrade12</span></code>) that allows upgrading from

<h2>Version 2.1.1<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-1-1" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>(Released Fri, 12 Mar 2010)</em></p>
<p>During the 2.1.0 long release candidate cycle, a lot of improvements and
changes have accumulated with were released later as 2.1.1.</p>
<div class="section" id="major-changes">
<h3>Major changes<a class="headerlink" href="#major-changes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The node evacuate command (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">evacuate</span></code>) was significantly
rewritten, and as such the IAllocator protocol was changed - a new
request type has been added. This unfortunate change during a stable
series is designed to improve performance of node evacuations; on
clusters with more than about five nodes and which are well-balanced,
evacuation should proceed in parallel for all instances of the node
being evacuated. As such, any existing IAllocator scripts need to be
updated, otherwise the above command will fail due to the unknown
request. The provided “dumb” allocator has not been updated; but the
ganeti-htools package supports the new protocol since version 0.2.4.</p>
<p>Another important change is increased validation of node and instance
names. This might create problems in special cases, if invalid host
names are being used.</p>
<p>Also, a new layer of hypervisor parameters has been added, that sits at
OS level between the cluster defaults and the instance ones. This allows
customisation of virtualization parameters depending on the installed
OS. For example instances with OS ‘X’ may have a different KVM kernel
(or any other parameter) than the cluster defaults. This is intended to
help managing a multiple OSes on the same cluster, without manual
modification of each instance’s parameters.</p>
<p>A tool for merging clusters, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cluster-merge</span></code>, has been added in the
tools sub-directory.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="bug-fixes">
<h3>Bug fixes<a class="headerlink" href="#bug-fixes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Improved the int/float conversions that should make the code more
robust in face of errors from the node daemons</li>
<li>Fixed the remove node code in case of internal configuration errors</li>
<li>Fixed the node daemon behaviour in face of inconsistent queue
directory (e.g. read-only file-system where we can’t open the files
read-write, etc.)</li>
<li>Fixed the behaviour of gnt-node modify for master candidate demotion;
now it either aborts cleanly or, if given the new “auto_promote”
parameter, will automatically promote other nodes as needed</li>
<li>Fixed compatibility with (unreleased yet) Python 2.6.5 that would
completely prevent Ganeti from working</li>
<li>Fixed bug for instance export when not all disks were successfully
exported</li>
<li>Fixed behaviour of node add when the new node is slow in starting up
the node daemon</li>
<li>Fixed handling of signals in the LUXI client, which should improve
behaviour of command-line scripts</li>
<li>Added checks for invalid node/instance names in the configuration (now
flagged during cluster verify)</li>
<li>Fixed watcher behaviour for disk activation errors</li>
<li>Fixed two potentially endless loops in http library, which led to the
RAPI daemon hanging and consuming 100% CPU in some cases</li>
<li>Fixed bug in RAPI daemon related to hashed passwords</li>
<li>Fixed bug for unintended qemu-level bridging of multi-NIC KVM
instances</li>
<li>Enhanced compatibility with non-Debian OSes, but not using absolute
path in some commands and allowing customisation of the ssh
configuration directory</li>
<li>Fixed possible future issue with new Python versions by abiding to the
proper use of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__slots__</span></code> attribute on classes</li>
<li>Added checks that should prevent directory traversal attacks</li>
<li>Many documentation fixes based on feedback from users</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="id59">
<h3>New features<a class="headerlink" href="#id59" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Added an “early_release” more for instance replace disks and node
evacuate, where we release locks earlier and thus allow higher
parallelism within the cluster</li>
<li>Added watcher hooks, intended to allow the watcher to restart other
daemons (e.g. from the ganeti-nbma project), but they can be used of
course for any other purpose</li>
<li>Added a compile-time disable for DRBD barriers, to increase
performance if the administrator trusts the power supply or the
storage system to not lose writes</li>
<li>Added the option of using syslog for logging instead of, or in
addition to, Ganeti’s own log files</li>
<li>Removed boot restriction for paravirtual NICs for KVM, recent versions
can indeed boot from a paravirtual NIC</li>
<li>Added a generic debug level for many operations; while this is not
used widely yet, it allows one to pass the debug value all the way to
the OS scripts</li>
<li>Enhanced the hooks environment for instance moves (failovers,
migrations) where the primary/secondary nodes changed during the
operation, by adding {NEW,OLD}_{PRIMARY,SECONDARY} vars</li>
<li>Enhanced data validations for many user-supplied values; one important
item is the restrictions imposed on instance and node names, which
might reject some (invalid) host names</li>
<li>Add a configure-time option to disable file-based storage, if it’s not
needed; this allows greater security separation between the master
node and the other nodes from the point of view of the inter-node RPC
protocol</li>
<li>Added user notification in interactive tools if job is waiting in the
job queue or trying to acquire locks</li>
<li>Added log messages when a job is waiting for locks</li>
<li>Added filtering by node tags in instance operations which admit
multiple instances (start, stop, reboot, reinstall)</li>
<li>Added a new tool for cluster mergers, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cluster-merge</span></code></li>
<li>Parameters from command line which are of the form <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">a=b,c=d</span></code> can now
use backslash escapes to pass in values which contain commas,
e.g. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">a=b\\c,d=e</span></code> where the ‘a’ parameter would get the value
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">b,c</span></code></li>
<li>For KVM, the instance name is the first parameter passed to KVM, so
that it’s more visible in the process list</li>

hook scripts need to take action based on the instance’s properties
(no longer need to query back into ganeti)</li>
<li>instance failovers when the instance is stopped do not check for free
RAM, so that failing over a stopped instance is possible in low memory
situations</li>
<li>rapi uses queries for tags instead of jobs (for less job traffic), and
for cluster tags it won’t talk to masterd at all but read them from
ssconf</li>
<li>a couple of error handling fixes in RAPI</li>
<li>drbd handling: improved the error handling of inconsistent disks after
resync to reduce the frequency of “there are some degraded disks for
this instance” messages</li>

<li>In this beta version there is not yet a migration path from 1.2 (there

<li>the RAPI daemon supports read-write operations, secured by basic
HTTP authentication on top of HTTPS</li>
<li>DRBD version 0.7 support has been removed, DRBD 8 is the only
supported version (when migrating from Ganeti 1.2 to 2.0, you need
to migrate to DRBD 8 first while still running Ganeti 1.2)</li>
<li>DRBD devices are using statically allocated minor numbers, which
will be assigned to existing instances during the migration process</li>
<li>there is support for both Xen PVM and Xen HVM instances running on
the same cluster</li>
<li>KVM virtualization is supported too</li>
<li>file-based storage has been implemented, which means that it is
possible to run the cluster without LVM and DRBD storage, for

<li>add a new command <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span> <span class="pre">verify-disks</span></code> which uses a new
algorithm to improve the reconnection of the DRBD pairs if the device
on the secondary node has gone away</li>
<li>make logical volume code auto-activate LVs at disk activation time</li>
<li>slightly improve the speed of activating disks</li>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Change configuration file format from Python’s Pickle to JSON.
Upgrading is possible using the cfgupgrade utility.</li>
<li>Add support for DRBD 8.0 (new disk template <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">drbd</span></code>) which allows for
faster replace disks and is more stable (DRBD 8 has many improvements
compared to DRBD 0.7)</li>
<li>Added command line tags support (see man pages for <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-instance</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-cluster</span></code>)</li>
<li>Added instance rename support</li>
<li>Added multi-instance startup/shutdown</li>
<li>Added cluster rename support</li>
<li>Added <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gnt-node</span> <span class="pre">evacuate</span></code> to simplify some node operations</li>
<li>Added instance reboot operation that can speedup reboot as compared to
stop and start</li>
<li>Soften the requirement that hostnames are in FQDN format</li>
<li>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ganeti-watcher</span></code> now activates drbd pairs after secondary node
reboots</li>
<li>Removed dependency on debian’s patched fping that uses the
non-standard <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-S</span></code> option</li>
<li>Now the OS definitions are searched for in multiple, configurable
paths (easier for distros to package)</li>
<li>Some changes to the hooks infrastructure (especially the new
post-configuration update hook)</li>
<li>Other small bugfixes</li>
