I confirm this bug; it's due to a Ganeti 2.0 incompatibility with Python 2.6.5, which was fixed in Ganeti 2.1.

The bug fix is trivial: http://git.ganeti.org/?p=ganeti.git;a=commit;h=6a180ca8d18005ded4cbf6c13e877ebcfc84a275

Unfortunately, the next release (Maverick or so) already has 2.1, so we can't backport from there. I would propose applying the above patch.

Impact: software doesn't work at all
How the bug is addressed: remedied Python 2.6.5 incompatibility regarding delattr()
Minimal patch: see link above
TEST CASE: after cluster initialization, "gnt-instance add -s 1g name" complains with:
    Unhandled protocol error while talking to the master daemon:
    Caught exception: src_node
  instead of complaining about "name not found" or missing disk template.

I'm proposing to update the package with the attached patch.

regards,
iustin
