Snapshot mirrors should normally be promoted using "mirror promote", and
not started manually. This adds guard rails against that to the "start",
"stop", and "disable" state commands to prevent changing mirror states
without an explicit "--force" option.
Adds two helper commands which automate sending and promoting VM
snapshots as "vm mirror" commands.
"vm mirror create" replicates the functionality of "snapshot create" and
"snapshot send", performing both in one single task using an
autogenerated dated snapshot name for automatic cross-cluster
replication.
"vm mirror promote" replicates the functionality of "vm shutdown",
"snapshot create", "snapshot send", "vm start" (remote), and,
optionally, "vm remove", performing in one single task an entire
cross-cluster VM move with or without retaining the copy on the local
cluster (if retained, the local copy becomes a snapshot mirror of the
remote, flipping their statuses).
Adds additional polled information on node cpu, memory, and network
bandwidth for the node running the test. This should provide additional
useful information about the results of the test.
Also bumps the test format to 2 to ensure clients can handle the changes
properly.
Modifies pvcapid to run under Gunicorn when in non-debug mode, instead
of the Flask development server. This is proper practice for one, and
also helps increase performance slightly in some workloads (file uploads
mainly).
Allows an imported volume to be scanned for stats independently.
Designed to be used as part of a snapshot import via API, to allow the
"create" to happen before the real import (to check for available space,
etc.) and then run this import after when the RBD volume actually
exists.
Some newer servers do not report NVMe device paths properly using
`lsscsi` as expected. To work around this, add an `nvme`-based detect
parser that is called if the `lsscsi` parser returns a `-` (or None).
