DESCRIPTION

The ganeti software manages physical nodes and virtual instances of a cluster based on a virtualization software. The current version (1.2) supports Xen 3.0 (also tested with 3.1).

QUICK START

First you must install the software on all the cluster nodes, either from sources or (if available) from a package. The next step is to create the initial cluster configuration, using gnt-cluster init.

Then you can add other nodes, or start creating instances.
