This (somewhat big) patch adds support for remotely rebooting the nodes via whatever support the hypervisor has for such a concept. For KVM/fake (and containers in the future) this just uses sysrq plus a ‘reboot’ call if the sysrq method failed. For Xen, it first tries the above, and then Xen-hypervisor reboot (we first try sysrq since that just requires opening a file handle, whereas xen reboot means launching an external utility). The user interface is: # gnt-node powercycle node5 Are you sure you want to hard powercycle node node5? y/[n]/?: y Reboot scheduled in 5 seconds The node reboots hopefully after sending the reply. In case the clock is broken, “time.sleep(5)” might take ages (but then I suspect SSL negotiation wouldn't work). Signed-off-by:
