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
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 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.
