There was really no need for this to be shared among all the
coordinators, which seemed more fragile. This way only the primary will
try to fence dead nodes.
This seems like a super-gross way to do this, but at the moment
I don't have a better way. Maybe just remove this component since
none of the volume/snapshot stuff is dynamic; will see as this
progresses.
The old way of doing this was a little cumbersome, with an upper YAML
tree split between "devices" (name and MTU) and addresses. This commit
unifies these under the root "networking" section to make this section
clearer.
MTUs were hardcoded at 9000, which breaks if the underlying interface
or network switch does not support jumbo frames, a possible deployment
limitation. This has non-obvious consequences due to MTU mismatches
for certain services (Ceph, Zookeeper, etc.).
This commit adds support for configurable MTUs for each interface,
set in pvcd.yaml. The example has been updated to reflect this, with
a default of 1500 (the Ethernet standard).
This commit also adds autoconfiguration of the VNI device MTU based
on the `vni_mtu` value, the same for bridge networks and minus 50
(rather than 200 from the hardcoded value, based on the following
resource [1]) for VXLAN networks.

Use RemainAfterExit to avoid pvc-flush from auto-stopping immediately.
Use PartOf to tie services to the target itself.
Use --wait on flush to avoid daemon stopping before flush is complete.
Add a systemd service to manage node flush/unflush, useful during
system startup and shutdown to avoid requiring administrator
intervention for this to occur. This is optional and the service is
not enabled by default, and the postinst script informs the
administrator of this.
Also adds a systemd target to collect the two service units together
and provide an easy way to flush+shutdown or startup+unflush the
entire PVC system.
Closes#28
1 second was just slightly too little time to wait and packets would
occasionally be lost on primary switchover. Increase this to 2
seconds to provide more time for arping to run on the new primary.
1. Remove a number of time.sleep commands which don't really seem
necessary any longer and which significantly increased the startup
time while parsing the VM list.
2. Handle some variable sets during initialization of the object,
rather than waiting for a management command, enabling...
3. Know when a state change, and the corresponding Libvirt lookup,
is unnecessary due to the target node not matching the current node.
This also removes a number of unremovable errors from Libvirt on the
console which were annoying.
This reduces the total time taken by the VM startup segment (lines
760-762 of Daemon.py) from 17.117s down to 0.976s for 82 VMs.
MariaDB+Galera was terribly unstable, with the cluster failing to
start or dying randomly, and generally seemed incredibly unsuitable
for an HA solution. This commit switches the DNS aggregator SQL
backend to PostgreSQL, implemented via Patroni HA.
It also manages the Patroni state, forcing the primary instance to
follow the PVC coordinator, such that the active DNS Aggregator
instance is always able to communicate read+write with the local
system.
This required some logic changes to how the DNS Aggregator worked,
specifically ensuring that database changes aren't attempted while
the instance isn't actively running - to be honest this was a bug
anyways that had just never been noticed.
Closes#34
