Ganeti customisation using hooks
================================

Documents ganeti version 2.0

.. contents::

Introduction
------------


In order to allow customisation of operations, ganeti runs scripts
under ``/etc/ganeti/hooks`` based on certain rules.


This is similar to the ``/etc/network/`` structure present in Debian
for network interface handling.

Organisation
------------

For every operation, two sets of scripts are run:

- pre phase (for authorization/checking)
- post phase (for logging)

Also, for each operation, the scripts are run on one or more nodes,
depending on the operation type.

Note that, even though we call them scripts, we are actually talking
about any executable.

*pre* scripts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The *pre* scripts have a definite target: to check that the operation
is allowed given the site-specific constraints. You could have, for
example, a rule that says every new instance is required to exists in
a database; to implement this, you could write a script that checks
the new instance parameters against your database.

The objective of these scripts should be their return code (zero or
non-zero for success and failure). However, if they modify the
environment in any way, they should be idempotent, as failed
executions could be restarted and thus the script(s) run again with
exactly the same parameters.

Note that if a node is unreachable at the time a hooks is run, this
will not be interpreted as a deny for the execution. In other words,
only an actual error returned from a script will cause abort, and not
an unreachable node.

Therefore, if you want to guarantee that a hook script is run and
denies an action, it's best to put it on the master node.

*post* scripts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These scripts should do whatever you need as a reaction to the
completion of an operation. Their return code is not checked (but
logged), and they should not depend on the fact that the *pre* scripts
have been run.

Naming
~~~~~~

The allowed names for the scripts consist of (similar to *run-parts* )
upper and lower case, digits, underscores and hyphens. In other words,
the regexp ``^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$``. Also, non-executable scripts will be
ignored.


Order of execution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a single node, the scripts in a directory are run in lexicographic
order (more exactly, the python string comparison order). It is
advisable to implement the usual *NN-name* convention where *NN* is a
two digit number.

For an operation whose hooks are run on multiple nodes, there is no
specific ordering of nodes with regard to hooks execution; you should
assume that the scripts are run in parallel on the target nodes
(keeping on each node the above specified ordering).  If you need any
kind of inter-node synchronisation, you have to implement it yourself
in the scripts.

Execution environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The scripts will be run as follows:

- no command line arguments

- no controlling *tty*

- stdin is actually */dev/null*

- stdout and stderr are directed to files

- PATH is reset to ``/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin``

- the environment is cleared, and only ganeti-specific variables will
  be left


All information about the cluster is passed using environment
variables. Different operations will have sligthly different
environments, but most of the variables are common.

Obsolete operations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following operations are no longer present or don't execute hooks
anymore in Ganeti 2.0:

- OP_INIT_CLUSTER
- OP_MASTER_FAILOVER
- OP_INSTANCE_ADD_MDDRBD
- OP_INSTANCE_REMOVE_MDDRBD


Environment variables
---------------------

Note that all variables listed here are actually prefixed with
*GANETI_* in order to provide a clear namespace.

Common variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the list of environment variables supported by all operations:

HOOKS_VERSION
  Documents the hooks interface version. In case this doesnt match
  what the script expects, it should not run. The documents conforms
  to the version 2.

HOOKS_PHASE
  One of *PRE* or *POST* denoting which phase are we in.

CLUSTER
  The cluster name.

MASTER
  The master node.

OP_CODE
  One of the *OP_* values from the list of operations.

OBJECT_TYPE
  One of ``INSTANCE``, ``NODE``, ``CLUSTER``.

DATA_DIR
  The path to the Ganeti configuration directory (to read, for
  example, the *ssconf* files).


Specialised variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the list of variables which are specific to one or more
operations.

INSTANCE_NAME
  The name of the instance which is the target of the operation.

INSTANCE_DISK_TEMPLATE
  The disk type for the instance.

INSTANCE_DISK_COUNT
  The number of disks for the instance.

INSTANCE_DISKn_SIZE
  The size of disk *n* for the instance.

INSTANCE_DISKn_MODE
  Either *rw* for a read-write disk or *ro* for a read-only one.

INSTANCE_NIC_COUNT
  The number of NICs for the instance.

INSTANCE_NICn_BRIDGE
  The bridge to which the *n* -th NIC of the instance is attached.

INSTANCE_NICn_IP
  The IP (if any) of the *n* -th NIC of the instance.

INSTANCE_NICn_MAC
  The MAC address of the *n* -th NIC of the instance.

INSTANCE_OS_TYPE
  The name of the instance OS.

INSTANCE_PRIMARY
  The name of the node which is the primary for the instance.

INSTANCE_SECONDARIES
  Space-separated list of secondary nodes for the instance.

INSTANCE_MEMORY
  The memory size (in MiBs) of the instance.

INSTANCE_VCPUS
  The number of virtual CPUs for the instance.

INSTANCE_STATUS
  The run status of the instance.

NODE_NAME
  The target node of this operation (not the node on which the hook
  runs).

NODE_PIP
  The primary IP of the target node (the one over which inter-node
  communication is done).

NODE_SIP
  The secondary IP of the target node (the one over which drbd
  replication is done). This can be equal to the primary ip, in case
  the cluster is not dual-homed.

FORCE
  This is provided by some operations when the user gave this flag.

IGNORE_CONSISTENCY
  The user has specified this flag. It is used when failing over
  instances in case the primary node is down.

ADD_MODE
  The mode of the instance create: either *create* for create from
  scratch or *import* for restoring from an exported image.

SRC_NODE, SRC_PATH, SRC_IMAGE
  In case the instance has been added by import, these variables are
  defined and point to the source node, source path (the directory
  containing the image and the config file) and the source disk image
  file.

NEW_SECONDARY
  The name of the node on which the new mirror component is being
  added. This can be the name of the current secondary, if the new
  mirror is on the same secondary.

OLD_SECONDARY
  The name of the old secondary in the replace-disks command Note that
  this can be equal to the new secondary if the secondary node hasn't
  actually changed.

EXPORT_NODE
  The node on which the exported image of the instance was done.

EXPORT_DO_SHUTDOWN
  This variable tells if the instance has been shutdown or not while
  doing the export. In the "was shutdown" case, it's likely that the
  filesystem is consistent, whereas in the "did not shutdown" case,
  the filesystem would need a check (journal replay or full fsck) in
  order to guarantee consistency.

CLUSTER_TAGS
  The list of cluster tags, space separated.

NODE_TAGS_<name>
  The list of tags for node *<name>*, space separated.
