Allowed zone-wide primary storage based on a custom plug-in to be added via the GUI in a KVM-only environment (previously this only worked for XenServer and VMware)
Added support for root disks on managed storage with KVM
Added support for volume snapshots with managed storage on KVM
Enable creating a template directly from a volume (i.e. without having to go through a volume snapshot) on KVM with managed storage
Only allow the resizing of a volume for managed storage on KVM if the volume in question is either not attached to a VM or is attached to a VM in the Stopped state.
Included support for Reinstall VM on KVM with managed storage
Enabled offline migration on KVM from non-managed storage to managed storage and vice versa
Included support for online storage migration on KVM with managed storage (NFS and Ceph to managed storage)
Added support to download (extract) a managed-storage volume to a QCOW2 file
When uploading a file from outside of CloudStack to CloudStack, set the min and max IOPS, if applicable.
Included support for the KVM auto-convergence feature
The compression flag was actually added in version 1.0.3 (1000003) as opposed to version 1.3.0 (1003000) (changed this to reflect the correct version)
On KVM when using iSCSI-based managed storage, if the user shuts a VM down from the guest OS (as opposed to doing so from CloudStack), we need to pass to the KVM agent a list of applicable iSCSI volumes that need to be disconnected.
Added a new Global Setting: kvm.storage.live.migration.wait
For XenServer, added a check to enforce that only volumes from zone-wide managed storage can be storage motioned from a host in one cluster to a host in another cluster (cannot do so at the time being with volumes from cluster-scoped managed storage)
Don’t allow Storage XenMotion on a VM that has any managed-storage volume with one or more snapshots.
Enabled for managed storage with VMware: Template caching, create snapshot, delete snapshot, create volume from snapshot, and create template from snapshot
Added an SIOC API plug-in to support VMware SIOC
When starting a VM that uses managed storage in a cluster other than the one it last was running in, we need to remove the reference to the iSCSI volume from the original cluster.
Added the ability to revert a volume to a snapshot
Enabled cluster-scoped managed storage
Added support for VMware dynamic discovery
Snapshot on primary storage not cleaned up after Storage migration. This happens in the following scenario:
Steps To Reproduce
Create an instance on the local storage on any host
Create a scheduled snapshot of the volume:
Wait until ACS created the snapshot. ACS is creating a snapshot on local storage and is transferring this snapshot to secondary storage. But the latest snapshot on local storage will stay there. This is as expected.
Migrate the instance to another XenServer host with ACS UI and Storage Live Migration
The Snapshot on the old host on local storage will not be cleaned up and is staying on local storage. So local storage will fill up with unneeded snapshots.
(1) add support to create/delete/revert vm snapshots on running vms with QCOW2 format
(2) add new API to create volume snapshot from vm snapshot
(3) delete metadata of vm snapshots before stopping/migrating and recover vm snapshots after starting/migrating
(4) enable deleting of VM snapshot on stopped vm or vm snapshot is not listed in qcow2 image.
(5) enable smoke tests for vmsnaphsots on KVM
This PR adds an ability to Pass a new parameter, locationType,
to the “createSnapshot” API command. Depending on the locationType,
we decide where the snapshot should go in case of managed storage.
There are two possible values for the locationType param
1) `Standard`: The standard operation for managed storage is to
keep the snapshot on the device. For non-managed storage, this will
be to upload it to secondary storage. This option will be the
default.
2) `Archive`: Applicable only to managed storage. This will
keep the snapshot on the secondary storage. For non-managed
storage, this will result in an error.
The reason for implementing this feature is to avoid a single
point of failure for primary storage. Right now in case of managed
storage, if the primary storage goes down, there is no easy way
to recover data as all snapshots are also stored on the primary.
This features allows us to mitigate that risk.
