Provide pretty status bars to indicate upload progress for tasks that
perform large file uploads to the API ('provisioner ova upload' and
'storage volume upload') so the administrator can gauge progress and
estimated time to completion.
Use a different wait method of querying the node status every
half-second during the transition, in order to wait on the transition to
complete if desired.
Closes#72
Add functions for uploading, listing, and removing OVA images to the API
and CLI interfaces. Includes improved parsing of the OVF and creation of
a system_template and profile for each OVA.
Also modifies some behaviour around profiles, making most components
option at creation to support both profile types (and incomplete
profiles generally).
Implementation part 2/3 - remaining: OVA VM creation
References #71
Rename "pvcd" to "pvcnoded", and "pvc-api" to "pvcapid" so names for the
daemons are fully consistent. Update the names of the configuration
files as well to match this new formatting.
References #79
Warn the administrator if there are active provisioning jobs while
adjusting the current primary node. This is the simplest, cleanest
solution to #69 without trying to implement any hacks or blocking
operations. The administrator can then decide to revert the action
if needed, or will at least know how many jobs are running/queued and
may need to be cancelled.
Move everything from under "storage ceph" to "storage" to simplify the
CLI; additional subclasses can be re-added at a future time if and when
additional storage classes are supported.
Implements a "maintenance mode" for PVC clusters. For now, the only
thing this mode does is disable node fencing while the state is true.
This allows the administrator to tell PVC that network connectivity,
etc. might be interrupted and to avoid fencing nodes.
Closes#70
Move all API calls to a new common function called call_api to
facilitate easier future changes. Use this function to implement API key
handling via request header value as well as integrate the request URI
generation and debug output handling.
Closes#65
Implements the storing of three VM metadata attributes:
1. Node limits - allows specifying a list of hosts on which the VM must
run. This limit influences the migration behaviour of VMs.
2. Per-VM node selectors - allows each VM to have its migration
autoselection method specified, to automatically allow different methods
per VM based on the administrator's preferences.
3. VM autorestart - allows a VM to be automatically restarted from a
stopped state, presumably due to a failure to find a target node (either
due to limits or otherwise) during a flush/fence recovery, on the next
node unflush/ready state of its home hypervisor. Useful mostly in
conjunction with limits to ensure that VMs which were shut down due to
there being no valid migration targets are started back up when their
node becomes ready again.
Includes the full client interaction with these metadata options,
including printing, as well as defining a new function to modify this
metadata. For the CLI it is set/modified either on `vm define` or via the
`vm meta` command. For the API it is set/modified either on a POST to
the `/vm` endpoint (during VM definition) or on POST to the `/vm/<vm>`
endpoint. For the API this replaces the previous reserved word for VM
creation from scratch as this will no longer be implemented in-daemon
(see #22).
Closes#52
This is likely not going to be used with the planned implementation of
the automatic provisioning daemon, which will be either an API client or
direct Python binding client.
Includes a simple implementation of a zookeeper "rename" facility,
allowing a key and all data to be replaced by a new key with a different
name but containing all the same child elements and data.
[2/2] Implements #44
Add the "storage" prefix to all Ceph-based commands in both the CLI and
the API. This partially abstracts the storage subsystem from the Ceph
tool specifically, should future storage subsystems be added or changed.
The name "ceph" is still used due to the non-abstracted components of
the Ceph management, e.g. referencing Ceph-specific concepts like OSDs
or pools.
This just seemed like more trouble that it was worth. Flush locks were
originally intended as a way to counteract the weird issues around
flushing that were mostly fixed by the code refactoring, so this will
help test if those issues are truly gone. If not, will look into a
cleaner solution that doesn't result in unchangeable states.
Previous to this, if once force-migrated a VM, the previous_node value
would be updated to the current node, which is likely never what an
administrator would want. Change this functionality so that the previous
node value is not changed, and update the documentation to reflect this.
Implements a locking mechanism to prevent clobbering of node
flushes. When a flush begins, a global cluster lock is placed
which is freed once the flush completes. While the lock is in place,
other flush events queue waiting for the lock to free before
proceeding.
Modifies the CLI output flow when the `--wait` option is specified.
First, if a lock exists when running the command, the message is
tweaked to indicate this, and the client will wait first for the
lock to free, and then for the flush as normal. Second, the wait
depends on the active lock rather than the domain_status for
consistency purposes.
Closes#32
Implements the ability for a client to watch almost-live domain
console logs from the hypervisors. It does this using a deque-based
"tail -f" mechanism (with a configurable buffer per-VM) that watches
the domain console logfile in the (configurable) directory every
half-second. It then stores the current buffer in Zookeeper when
changed, where a client can then request it, either as a static piece
of text in the `less` pager, or via a similar "tail -f" functionality
implemented using fixed line splitting and comparison to provide a
generally-seamless output.
Enabling this feature requires each guest VM to implement a Libvirt
serial log and write its (text) console to it, for example using the
default logging directory:
```
<serial type='pty'>
<log file='/var/log/libvirt/vmname.log' append='off'/>
<serial>
```
The append mode can be either on or off; on grows files unbounded,
off causes the log (and hence the PVC log data) to be truncated on
initial VM startup from offline. The administrator must choose how
they best want to handle this until Libvirt implements their own
clog-type logging format.
Completely restructure the daemon code to move the 4 discrete daemons
into a single daemon that can be run on every hypervisor. Introduce the
idea of a static list of "coordinator" nodes which are configured at
install time to run Zookeeper and FRR in router mode, and which are
allowed to take on client network management duties (gateway, DHCP, DNS,
etc.) while also allowing them to run VMs (i.e. no dedicated "router"
nodes required).
