From d8d3feee22cadc6f3ab07701b36ec213e6285bf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Joshua M. Boniface" Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2022 02:14:15 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add selector help and adjust flag name 1. Add documentation on the node selector flags. In the API, reference the daemon configuration manual which now includes details in this section; in the CLI, provide the help in "pvc vm define" in detail and then reference that command's help in the other commands that use this field. 2. Ensure the naming is consistent in the CLI, using the flag name "--node-selector" everywhere (was "--selector" for "pvc vm" commands and "--node-selector" for "pvc provisioner" commands). --- api-daemon/pvcapid/flaskapi.py | 10 +++++----- client-cli/pvc/pvc.py | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++-- daemon-common/common.py | 2 +- docs/manuals/daemon.md | 14 +++++++++++++- docs/manuals/swagger.json | 10 +++++----- 5 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/api-daemon/pvcapid/flaskapi.py b/api-daemon/pvcapid/flaskapi.py index 38e16f82..e064107d 100755 --- a/api-daemon/pvcapid/flaskapi.py +++ b/api-daemon/pvcapid/flaskapi.py @@ -1002,7 +1002,7 @@ class API_VM_Root(Resource): type: string node_selector: type: string - description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration + description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration; see 'target_selector' in the node daemon configuration reference node_autostart: type: boolean description: Whether to autostart the VM when its node returns to ready domain state @@ -1297,7 +1297,7 @@ class API_VM_Root(Resource): name: selector type: string required: false - description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration + description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration; see 'target_selector' in the node daemon configuration reference default: none enum: - mem @@ -1446,7 +1446,7 @@ class API_VM_Element(Resource): name: selector type: string required: false - description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration + description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration; see 'target_selector' in the node daemon configuration reference default: none enum: - mem @@ -1629,7 +1629,7 @@ class API_VM_Metadata(Resource): type: string node_selector: type: string - description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration + description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration; see 'target_selector' in the node daemon configuration reference node_autostart: type: string description: Whether to autostart the VM when its node returns to ready domain state @@ -1678,7 +1678,7 @@ class API_VM_Metadata(Resource): name: selector type: string required: false - description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration + description: The selector used to determine candidate nodes during migration; see 'target_selector' in the node daemon configuration reference enum: - mem - memfree diff --git a/client-cli/pvc/pvc.py b/client-cli/pvc/pvc.py index d6ff502f..a83f0374 100755 --- a/client-cli/pvc/pvc.py +++ b/client-cli/pvc/pvc.py @@ -803,7 +803,7 @@ def cli_vm(): ) @click.option( "-s", - "--selector", + "--node-selector", "node_selector", default="none", show_default=True, @@ -857,6 +857,18 @@ def vm_define( ): """ Define a new virtual machine from Libvirt XML configuration file VMCONFIG. + + The target node selector ("--node-selector"/"-s") can be "none" to use the cluster default, or one of the following values: + * "mem": choose the node with the least provisioned VM memory + * "memfree": choose the node with the most (real) free memory + * "vcpus": choose the node with the least allocated VM vCPUs + * "load": choose the node with the lowest current load average + * "vms": choose the node with the least number of provisioned VMs + + For most clusters, "mem" should be sufficient, but others may be used based on the cluster workload and available resources.
