Comment #1 on issue 381 by [email protected]: Drain that doesn't force master_candidate=no
http://code.google.com/p/ganeti/issues/detail?id=381

I don't think this is the right solution.

The reason why draining a node makes it a non-MC is that MCs are critical to the functioning of Ganeti. If a MC is down, all jobs operations are slowed down, restarting masterd (if needed) will be slower, etc.

If you're worried about promotions, why not simply set the pool size temporarily to a smaller number, then drain/reboot/undrain as needed, and only at the end of all operations increase the pool size again? That way, you will only have to wait at the end for replication of jobs (eventually after you have run a job archive).
