+ <longdescription lang="en">
+ These are some simple cluster tools for fixing common allocation
+ problems on Ganeti 2.0 clusters.
+
+ Note that these tools are most useful for bigger cluster sizes
+ (e.g. more than five or ten machines); at lower sizes, the computations
+ they do can also be done manually.
+
+ Most of the tools revolve around the concept of keeping the cluster N+1
+ compliant: this means that in case of failure of any node, the instances
+ affected can be failed over (via ``gnt-node failover`` or ``gnt-instance
+ failover``) to their secondary node, and there is enough memory reserved
+ for this operation without needing to shutdown other instances or
+ rebalance the cluster.
