Currently this feature is hypervisor specific, but under kvm we use it
by default (aka: if the user hasn't specified another network script
which overrides our auto-generated one) to specify the routing table.
This was already hinted as a possibility in the manpages, but never
explicitely stated as a reality, so we update gnt-cluster(8) to actually
say this, and gnt-{backup,instance}(8) to point to gnt-cluster(8) for
more information.Signed-off-by: Guido Trotter <[email protected]> --- man/gnt-backup.sgml | 2 +- man/gnt-cluster.sgml | 9 +++++---- man/gnt-instance.sgml | 2 +- 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/gnt-backup.sgml b/man/gnt-backup.sgml index 4cb56d7..2c8eba2 100644 --- a/man/gnt-backup.sgml +++ b/man/gnt-backup.sgml @@ -214,7 +214,7 @@ this NIC to, in routed mode it's intended to differentiate between different routing tables/instance groups (but the meaning is dependent on the network - script)</simpara> + script, see gnt-cluster(8) for more details)</simpara> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> diff --git a/man/gnt-cluster.sgml b/man/gnt-cluster.sgml index 12c0705..5313147 100644 --- a/man/gnt-cluster.sgml +++ b/man/gnt-cluster.sgml @@ -432,10 +432,11 @@ <term>link</term> <listitem> <para> - In bridged mode the default NIC bridge.
