Adds a new API query parameter to define the file size, which is then
used for the temporary image. This is required for, at least VMDK, files
to work properly in qemu-img convert.
It didn't make any sense to me for mem(prov) to be the default selector,
since this has too many caveats versus mem(free). Switch to using
mem(free) as the default (i.e. "mem") and make memprov the alternative.
1. Ensure that system_template and script are not nullable in the DB.
2. Ensure that the CLI and API enforce the above and clean up CLI
arguments for profile add.
3. Ensure that, before uploading OVAs, a 'default_ova' provisioning
script is present.
4. Use the 'default_ova' script for new OVA uploads.
5. Ensure that OVA details are properly added to the vm_data dict in the
provisioner vmbuilder.
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).
Adds commands to both replace an OSD disk, and refresh (reimport) an
existing OSD disk on a new node. This handles the cases where an OSD
disk should be replaced (either due to upgrades or failures) or where a
node is rebuilt in-place and an existing OSD must be re-imported to it.
This should avoid the need to do a full remove/add sequence for either
case.
Also cleans up some aspects of OSD removal that are identical between
methods (e.g. using safe-to-destroy and sleeping after stopping) and
fixes a bug if an OSD does not truly exist when the daemon starts up.
Allows an administrator to adjust the PG count of a given pool. This can
be used to increase the PGs (for example after adding more OSDs) or
decrease it (to remove OSDs, reduce CPU load, etc.).
Allows specifying a particular device class ("tier") for a given pool,
for instance SSD-only or NVMe-only. This is implemented with Crush
rules on the Ceph side, and via an additional new key in the pool
Zookeeper schema which is defaulted to "default".
Allows specifying blockdevs in the OSD and OSD-DB addition commands as
detect strings rather than actual block device paths. This provides
greater flexibility for automation with pvcbootstrapd (which originates
the concept of detect strings) and in general usage as well.
Instead of requiring the VM to already be stopped, instead allow disable
state changes to perform a shutdown first. Also add a force option which
will do a hard stop instead of a shutdown.

When using the "state", "node", or "tag" arguments to a VM list, add
support for a "negate" flag to look for all VMs *not in* the state,
node, or tag state.
Adds a test_format database column and a value in the API return for the
test format version, starting at 0 for the existing format as of 0.9.37.
References #143
The default of 0.05 (5%) is likely ideal in the initial implementation,
but allow this to be set explicitly for maximum flexibility in
space-constrained or performance-critical use-cases.
Adds in three parts:
1. Create an API endpoint to create OSD DB volume groups on a device.
Passed through to the node via the same command pipeline as
creating/removing OSDs, and creates a volume group with a fixed name
(osd-db).
2. Adds API support for specifying whether or not to use this DB volume
group when creating a new OSD via the "ext_db" flag. Naming and sizing
is fixed for simplicity and based on Ceph recommendations (5% of OSD
size). The Zookeeper schema tracks the block device to use during
removal.
3. Adds CLI support for the new and modified API endpoints, as well as
displaying the block device and DB block device in the OSD list.
While I debated supporting adding a DB device to an existing OSD, in
practice this ended up being a very complex operation involving stopping
the OSD and setting some options, so this is not supported; this can be
specified during OSD creation only.
Closes#142
Adds a new API endpoint to support hot attach/detach of devices, and the
corresponding client-side logic to use this endpoint when doing VM
network/storage add/remove actions.
The live attach is now the default behaviour for these types of
additions and removals, and can be disabled if needed.
Closes#141
Add an additional protected class, limit manipulation to one at a time,
and ensure future flexibility. Also makes display consistent with other
VM elements.
Add nicer easy-to-find (yay ASCII art) banners for the startup printouts
of both the node and API daemons. Also adds the safe loader to pvcnoded
to prevent hassle messages and a version string in the API daemon file.
Sets in the node daemon, returns via the API, and shows in the CLI,
information about the live VNC listen address and port for VNC-enabled
VMs.
Closes#115
Adds cluster backup (JSON dump) and restore functions for use in
disaster recovery.
Further, adds additional confirmation to the initialization (as well as
restore) endpoints to avoid accidental triggering, and also groups the
init, backup, and restore commands in the CLI into a new "task"
subsection.
Properly fixes the issue with OVA upload bodies by allowing the
restriction of the 'location' directive when parsing specific request
args. Thus the 'form' location can be included by default but removed
for those parsers that have a file body.
This reverts commit d63e757c32.
This did not work; by readding 'form' checking, the attempt to isolate
the large file upload was again thwarted. Another solution, perhaps
specific to the uploads, is needed instead.
Allow a VM to specify its migration type as a default choice. The valid
options are "default" (i.e. behave as now), "live" which forces a live
migration only, and "shutdown" which forces a shutdown migration only.
The new option is treated as a VM meta option and is set to default if
not found.
Gevent was completely failure. The API would block during large file
uploads with no obvious solutions beyond "use gunicorn", which is not
suited to this. I originally had this working with the Flask "debug"
server, so just move to using that all the time. SSL is added using a
custom context with the OpenSSL library, so include that as a
dependency.
By default, Werkzeug would require the entire file (be it an OVA or
image file) to be uploaded and saved to a temporary, fake file under
`/tmp`, before any further processing could occur. This blocked most of
the execution of these functions until the upload was completed.
This entirely defeated the purpose of what I was trying to do, which was
to save the uploads directly to the temporary blockdev in each case,
thus avoiding any sort of memory or (host) disk usage.
The solution is two-fold:
1. First, ensure that the `location='args'` value is set in
RequestParser; without this, the `files` portion would be parsed
during the argument parsing, which was the original source of this
blocking behaviour.
2. Instead of the convoluted request handling that was being done
originally here, instead entirely defer the parsing of the `files`
arguments until the point in the code where they are ready to be
saved. Then, using an override stream_factory that simply opens the
temporary blockdev, the upload can commence while being written
directly out to it, rather than using `/tmp` space.
This does alter the error handling slightly; it is impossible to check
if the argument was passed until this point in the code, so it may take
longer to fail if the API consumer does not specify a file as they
should. This is a minor trade-off and I would expect my API consumers to
be sane here.
Adds a separate field to the node memory, "provisioned", which totals
the amount of memory provisioned to all VMs on the node, regardless of
state, and in contrast to "allocated" which only counts running VMs.
Allows for the detection of potential overprovisioned states when
factoring in non-running VMs.
Includes the supporting code to get this data, since the original
implementation of VM memory selection was dependent on the VM being
running and getting this from libvirt. Now, if the VM is not active, it
gets this from the domain XML instead.
Makes this output a little more realistic and allows proper monitoring
of the Ceph cluster status (separate from the PVC status which is
tracking only OSD up/in state).
Allow the specifying of arbitrary provisioner script install() args on
the provisioner create CLI, either overriding or adding additional
per-VM arguments to those found in the profile. Reference example is
setting a "vm_fqdn" on a per-run basis.
Closes#100
Provides a CLI and API argument to force live migration, which triggers
a new VM state "migrate-live". The node daemon VMInstance during migrate
will read this flag from the state and, if enforced, will not trigger a
shutdown migration.
Closes#95
Ensure all API return messages are formated the same: no "error", a
final period except when displaying Exception text, and a regular spaced
out format.
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
