    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>
      The <command>&dhpackage;</command> is the daemon which is
      responsible for the cluster functions in the ganeti system.
    </para>

    <para>
      For testing purposes, you can give the <option>-f</option>
      option and the program won't detach from the running terminal.
    </para>
    <refsect2>
      <title>ROLE</title>
      <para>
        The role of the node daemon is to do almost all the actions
        that change the state of the node. Things like creating disks
        for instances, activating disks, starting/stopping instance
        and so on are done via the node daemon.
      </para>

      <para>
        If the node daemon is stopped, the instances are not affected,
        but the master won't be able to talk to that node.
      </para>
    </refsect2>

    <refsect2>
      <title>COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL</title>
      <para>
        Currently the master-node protocol is done using the Twisted
        perspective broker libraries.
      </para>
