| ================================================== |

| Name |
| ---- |
| |
| ganeti-wconfd - Ganeti configuration writing daemon |
| |
| Synopsis |
| -------- |
| |
| **ganeti-wcond** [-f] [-d] [--syslog] [--no-user-checks] |
| [--no-voting --yes-do-it] [--force-node] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| **ganeti-wconfd** is the daemon that has authoritative knowledge |
| about the configuration and is the only entity that can accept |
| changes to it. All jobs that need to modify the configuration will |
| do so by sending appropriate requests to this daemon. |
| |
| For testing purposes, you can give the ``-f`` option and the |
| program won't detach from the running terminal. |
| |
| Debug-level message can be activated by giving the ``-d`` option. |
| |
| Logging to syslog, rather than its own log file, can be enabled by |
| passing in the ``--syslog`` option. |
| |
| The **ganeti-wconfd** daemon listens on a Unix socket |
| (``@LOCALSTATEDIR@/run/ganeti/socket/ganeti-query``) on which it accepts all |
| requests in an internal protocol format, used by Ganeti jobs. |
| |
| The daemon will refuse to start if the user and group do not match the |
| one defined at build time; this behaviour can be overridden by the |
| ``--no-user-checks`` option. |
| |
| The daemon will refuse to start if it cannot verify that the majority |
| of cluster nodes believes that it is running on the master node. To |
| allow failover in a two-node cluster, this can be overridden by the |
| ``--no-voting`` option. As it this is dangerous, the ``--yes-do-it`` |
| option has to be given as well. Also, if the option ``--force-node`` |
| is given, it will accept to run on a non-master node; it should not |
| be necessary to give this option manually, but |
| ``gnt-cluster masterfailover`` will use it internally to start |
| the daemon in order to update the master-node information in the |
| configuration. |
