not guaranteed to be 80% complete.

<title>Cluster architecture</title>
<para>
In Ganeti 2.0, the architecture of the cluster is a little more
complicated than in 1.2. The cluster is coordinated by a master
daemon (<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>ganeti-masterd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum> </citerefentry>), running on the master
node. Each node runs (as before) a node daemon, and the master
has the <acronym>RAPI</acronym> daemon running too.
</para>
<refsect2>
<title>Node roles</title>
<para>Each node can be in one of the following states:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>master_candidate</term>
<listitem>
<para>The node receives the full cluster configuration
(configuration file and jobs) and can become a master
via the <command>gnt-cluster masterfailover</command>
command. Nodes that are not in this state cannot
transition into the master role due to missing
state.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>offline</term>
<listitem>
<para>These nodes are still recorder in the ganeti

<para>The master node keeps and is responsible for the cluster
configuration. On the filesystem, this is stored under the
<filename

directory, and if the master daemon is stopped it can be backed
up normally.</para>
<para>The master daemon will replicate the configuration
database called <filename>config.data</filename> and the job
files to all the nodes in the master candidate role. It will
also distribute a copy of some configuration values via the
<emphasis>ssconf</emphasis> files, which are stored in the same
directory and start with <filename>ssconf_</filename> prefix, to
all nodes.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>Jobs</title>
<para>
All cluster modification are done via jobs. A job consists of
one or more opcodes, and the list of opcodes is processed
serially. If an opcode fails, the entire job is failed and
later opcodes are no longer processed. A job can be in one of
the following states:
<variablelist>

<simpara>The job has been submitted but not yet
processed by the master daemon.</simpara>

the source node and directory are not passed, the last backup

<command>list</command> command.
</para>
<para>
The <option>-s</option> option specifies the disk size for
the instance, in mebibytes (defaults to
<constant>20480MiB</constant> =
<constant>20GiB</constant>). You can also use one of the
suffixes <literal>m</literal>, <literal>g</literal> or
The <option>disk</option> option specifies the parameters for
the disks of the instance. The numbering of disks starts at
zero, and at least one disk needs to be passed. For each disk,
at least the size needs to be given, and optionally the access
mode (read-only or the default of read-write) can also be
specified. The size is interpreted (when no unit is given) in
mebibytes. You can also use one of the suffixes
<literal>m</literal>, <literal>g</literal> or
<literal>t</literal> to specificy the exact the units used;
these suffixes map to mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes.
</para>
<para>
The <option>--swap-size</option> option specifies the swap
disk size (in mebibytes) for the instance (the one presented
as <filename class="devicefile">/dev/sdb</filename>). The
default is <constant>4096MiB</constant>. As for the disk
size, you can specify other suffixes.
The minimum disk specification is therefore <userinput>--disk
0:size=20G</userinput>, and a three-disk instance can be
specified as <userinput>--disk 0:size=20G --disk 1:size=4G
--disk 2:size=100G</userinput>.
</para>
<para>
The <option>-m</option> option specifies the memory size for
the instance, in mebibytes (defaults to 128 MiB). Again, you
can use other suffixes (e.g. <userinput>2g</userinput>).
The NICs of the instances can be specified via the
<option>--nic</option> option. By default, one NIC is created
for the instance, with the MAC set to the original MAC of the
instance (as it was at export time). Each NIC can take up to
three parameters (all optional):
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>mac</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>either a value or <constant>GENERATE</constant>
to generate a new unique MAC, or
<constant>AUTO</constant> to reuse the old MAC</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>ip</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>specifies the IP address assigned to the
instance from the Ganeti side (this is not necessarily
what the instance will use, but what the node expects
the instance to use)</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>bridge</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>specifies the bridge to attach this NIC
to</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
<para>
The <option>-b</option> option specifies the bridge to which the
instance will be connected. (defaults to the cluster-wide default
bridge specified at cluster intialization time).
Alternatively, if no network is desired for the instance, you
can prevent the default of one NIC with the
<option>--no-nics</option> option.
</para>
<para>
The <option>--mac</option> option specifies the mac address for the
instance. The default is 'auto' which is reusing the previous mac
address if the instance is being imported with the same name, and
generating a new one otherwise. You can also force generation by
specifying 'generate'.
The <option>-B</option> option specifies the backend
parameters for the instance. If no such parameters are
specified, the values are inherited from the cluster. Possible
parameters are:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>memory</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>the memory size of the instance; as usual,
suffixes can be used to denote the unit, otherwise the
value is taken in mebibites</simpara>
