Debian Ganeti Specific Configuration
Edit /etc/hosts to have the real address of the host, e.g.
127.0.0.1 localhost

198.180.150.4 vm1.iad.rg.net vm1

Fix /etc/network/interfaces

Install Ganeti
Set up to get Ganeti from backports on all three servers, vm0, vm1, and vm2
cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wheezy-backports.list
deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ wheezy-backports main
And then install it on all three servers
apt-get update
apt-get install ganeti/wheezy-backports
Fix up drbd
echo "options drbd minor_count=128 usermode_helper=/bin/true" > /etc/modprobe.d/drbd.conf

Initialize and Build Ganeti Cluster
gnt-cluster init \
--master-netdev=br-internal \
--enabled-hypervisors=kvm \
-H kvm:kernel_path="",initrd_path="" \
--vg-name=ganeti \
-N link=br-cluster \
-s 10.0.0.101 \
gnt0.iad.rg.net
If it barfs, try
gnt-cluster destroy --yes-do-it
then re-run gnt-cluster init ...
If you get into gnutls problems check apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade
Check That Cluster is Happy
Fix VNC passwording
echo 'fnorgille' > /etc/ganeti/vnc-cluster-password
gnt-cluster modify -H kvm:vnc_password_file=/etc/ganeti/vnc-cluster-password
Test that the cluster was built happily
gnt-cluster verify
If you get
Fri Mar 14 05:20:55 2014 - ERROR: node deb64.psg.com: volume ganeti/root is unknown
Fri Mar 14 05:20:55 2014 - ERROR: node deb64.psg.com: volume ganeti/swap is unknown
Fri Mar 14 05:20:55 2014 - ERROR: node deb64.psg.com: volume ganeti/var is unknown
That's OK. To make it go away
gnt-cluster modify --reserved-lvs=ganeti/root,ganeti/swap,ganeti/var
Now add vm1 and vm2 to the cluster by the following on vm0
gnt-node add -s 10.0.1.11 vm1.bknix.co.th
gnt-node add -s 10.0.1.12 vm2.bknix.co.th
which should result in
vm0.bknix.co.th:/root# gnt-node add -s 10.0.1.11 vm1.bknix.co.th

Hint: Copying Images Between Systems
rsync and so forth spend a lot of time in crypto etc. If you are copying an image across a local LAN, netcat is your friend.
On the source
nc -l -p 42420 < path-to/name-of.qcow2
On the destination
nc -w3 source.fqdn 42420 > name-of.qcow2
Of course, do an md5 or sha compare of the source and destination files before using them.
Actually Convert qcow2 to a Ganeti Image
gnt-instance activate-disks <foo>
and you will get the disk ID of the instance
vm1.iad.rg.net:disk/0:/dev/ganeti/47b81077-0641-4a52-962f-393863567125.disk0
convert the qcow2 directly to the instance image
qemu-img convert <foo>.qcow2 /dev/ganeti/47b81077-0641-4a52-962f-393863567125.disk0
If qemu-convert wants more target disk space then you thought you had in the source disk, you will get
qemu-img: /dev/ganeti/c316d162-af4d-4ce0-8d1f-7b0b01919053.disk0: error while converting raw: No space left on device
The only solution seems to be to allocate more disk in the do-add
Now you can start the converted image
gnt-instance start <foo>
Moving Secondary Disk Drives from libvert to a Ganeti Instance
First, create the empty disk on the Ganeti image
gnt-instance modify --disk add:size=1024G <instance-name>
Then find out the magic filename of the disk
gnt-instance activate-disks <instance-name>
vm1.iad.rg.net:disk/0:/dev/ganeti/15df702f-3535-4a99-90e1-42d5ae00f469.disk0
vm1.iad.rg.net:disk/1:/dev/ganeti/f3cfa446-e214-47a6-9aca-07b5f172469f.disk1
disk0 is the base Ganeti image disk, disk1 has been added.
The libvert secondary disk is a raw image, not a qcow. So you do a move directly into place.
On the libvert side
nc -l -p 42420 < path-to-disk.sdb
On the Ganeti side
nc -w3 vm0.iad 42420 > /dev/ganeti/f3cfa446-e214-47a6-9aca-07b5f172469f.disk1
When it is finished, you need to
gnt-instance restart <instance-name>
