1. Move fence monitoring to its own thread rather than doing the listing
and triggering within the main keepalive thread.
2. Add a global lock key at /config/fence_lock and use this lock key to
prevent multiple nodes from trying to run fences simultaneously.
3. Run the fencing monitor for each node sequentially within the context
of the main fence monitoring thread, to ensure that fences of multiple
nodes happen sequentially rather than in parallel.
All of these should help to prevent any anomalies where one node can try
to fence multiple nodes at once without recourse.
Avoids various parts of the keepalive deadlocking waiting on data that
will never come when various internal processes fail. This should ensure
based on testing that the keepalive will always finish in <5 seconds.
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).
