gnt-os(8)							   Version 2.5.2							 gnt-os(8)

Name
       gnt-os - Instance operating system administration

Synopsis
       gnt-os {command} [arguments...]

DESCRIPTION
       The gnt-os is used for managing the list of available operating system flavours for the instances in the Ganeti cluster.

COMMANDS
       list

       Gives the list of available/supported OS to use in the instances.  When creating the instance you can give the OS-name as an option.

       Note that hidden or blacklisted OSes are not displayed by this command, use diagnose for showing those.

       diagnose

       This  command will help you see why an installed OS is not available in the cluster. The list command shows only the OS-es that the cluster
       sees available on all nodes. It could be that some OS is missing from a node, or is only partially installed, and this  command	will  show
       the details of all the OSes and the reasons they are or are not valid.

       info

       This  command  will list detailed information about each OS available in the cluster, including its validity status, the supported API ver-
       sions, the supported parameters (if any) and their documentations, etc.

       modify [-H HYPERVISOR:option=value[,...]]
       [--hidden=yes|no] [--blacklisted=yes|no]
       {OS}

       This command will allow you to modify OS parameters.

       To modify the per-OS hypervisor parameters (which override the global hypervisor parameters), you can run modify -H with the same syntax as
       in gnt-cluster init to override default hypervisor parameters of the cluster for specified OS argument.

       To  modify  the	hidden	and blacklisted states of an OS, pass the options --hiddenyes|no, or respectively --blacklisted ....  The 'hidden'
       state means that an OS won't be listed by default in the OS list, but is available for installation. The 'blacklisted' state means that the
       OS is not listed and is also not allowed for new instance creations (but can be used for reinstalling old instances).

       Note: The given operating system doesn't have to exists. This allows preseeding the settings for operating systems not yet known to gnt-os.
