* Updated libvirt's native reboot operation for VM on KVM using ACPI event, and Added 'forced' reboot option to stop and start the VM (using rebootVirtualMachine API)
* Added 'forced' reboot option for System VM and Router
- New parameter 'forced' in rebootSystemVm API, to stop and then start System VM
- New parameter 'forced' in rebootRouter API, to force stop and then start Router
* Added force reboot tests for User VM, System VM and Router
Added support for PowerFlex/ScaleIO (v3.5 onwards) storage pool as a primary storage in CloudStack (for KVM hypervisor) and enabled VM/Volume operations on that pool (using pool tag).

This enables support for PowerFlex/ScaleIO (v3.5 onwards) storage pool as a primary storage in CloudStack
Other improvements addressed in addition to PowerFlex/ScaleIO support:
- Added support for config drives in host cache for KVM
=> Changed configuration "vm.configdrive.primarypool.enabled" scope from Global to Zone level
=> Introduced new zone level configuration "vm.configdrive.force.host.cache.use" (default: false) to force host cache for config drives
=> Introduced new zone level configuration "vm.configdrive.use.host.cache.on.unsupported.pool" (default: true) to use host cache for config drives when storage pool doesn't support config drive
=> Added new parameter "host.cache.location" (default: /var/cache/cloud) in KVM agent.properties for specifying the host cache path and create config drives on the "/config" directory on the host cache path
=> Maintain the config drive location and use it when required on any config drive operation (migrate, delete)
- Detect virtual size from the template URL while registering direct download qcow2 (of KVM hypervisor) templates
- Updated full deployment destination for preparing the network(s) on VM start
- Propagate the direct download certificates uploaded to the newly added KVM hosts
- Discover the template size for direct download templates using any available host from the zones specified on template registration
=> When zones are not specified while registering template, template size discovery is performed using any available host, which is picked up randomly from one of the available zones
- Release the VM resources when VM is sync-ed to Stopped state on PowerReportMissing (after graceful period)
- Retry VM deployment/start when the host cannot grant access to volume/template
- Mark never-used or downloaded templates as Destroyed on deletion, without sending any DeleteCommand
=> Do not trigger any DeleteCommand for never-used or downloaded templates as these doesn't exist and cannot be deleted from the datastore
- Check the router filesystem is writable or not, before performing health checks
=> Introduce a new test "filesystem.writable.test" to check the filesystem is writable or not
=> The router health checks keeps the config info at "/var/cache/cloud" and updates the monitor results at "/root" for health checks, both are different partitions. So, test at both the locations.
=> Added new script: "filesystem_writable_check.py" at /opt/cloud/bin/ to check the filesystem is writable or not
- Fixed NPE issue, template is null for DATA disks. Copy template to target storage for ROOT disk (with template id), skip DATA disk(s)
* Addressed some issues for few operations on PowerFlex storage pool.
- Updated migration volume operation to sync the status and wait for migration to complete.
- Updated VM Snapshot naming, for uniqueness in ScaleIO volume name when more than one volume exists in the VM.
- Added sync lock while spooling managed storage template before volume creation from the template (non-direct download).
- Updated resize volume error message string.
- Blocked the below operations on PowerFlex storage pool:
-> Extract Volume
-> Create Snapshot for VMSnapshot
* Added the PowerFlex/ScaleIO client connection pool to manage the ScaleIO gateway clients, which uses a single gateway client per Powerflex/ScaleIO storage pool and renews it when the session token expires.
- The token is valid for 8 hours from the time it was created, unless there has been no activity for 10 minutes.

Other fixes included:
- Fail the VM deployment when the host specified in the deployVirtualMachine cmd is not in the right state (i.e. either Resource State is not Enabled or Status is not Up)
- Use the physical file size of the template to check the free space availability on the host, while downloading the direct download templates.
- Perform basic tests (for connectivity and file system) on router before updating the health check config data
=> Validate the basic tests (connectivity and file system check) on router
=> Cleanup the health check results when router is destroyed
* Updated PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage plugin version to 4.16.0.0
* UI Changes to support storage plugin for PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage pool.
- PowerFlex pool URL generated from the UI inputs(Gateway, Username, Password, Storage Pool) when adding "PowerFlex" Primary Storage
- Updated protocol to "custom" for PowerFlex provider
- Allow VM Snapshot for stopped VM on KVM hypervisor and PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage pool
and Minor improvements in PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage plugin code
* Added support for PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume migration across different PowerFlex storage instances.
- findStoragePoolsForMigration API returns PowerFlex pool(s) of different instance as suitable pool(s), for volume(s) on PowerFlex storage pool.
- Volume(s) with snapshots are not allowed to migrate to different PowerFlex instance.
- Volume(s) of running VM are not allowed to migrate to other PowerFlex storage pools.
- Volume migration from PowerFlex pool to Non-PowerFlex pool, and vice versa are not supported.
* Fixed change service offering smoke tests in test_service_offerings.py, test_vm_snapshots.py
* Added the PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume/snapshot name to the paths of respective CloudStack resources (Templates, Volumes, Snapshots and VM Snapshots)
* Added new response parameter “supportsStorageSnapshot” (true/false) to volume response, and Updated UI to hide the async backup option while taking snapshot for volume(s) with storage snapshot support.
* Fix to remove the duplicate zone wide pools listed while finding storage pools for migration
* Updated PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume migration checks and rollback migration on failure
* Fixed the PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume name inconsistency issue in the volume path after migration, due to rename failure
- Fixes inter-cluster migration of VMs
- Allows migration of stopped VM with disks attached to different and suitable pools
- Improves inter-cluster detached volume migration
- Allows inter-cluster migration (clusters of same Pod) for system VMs, VRs on VMware
- Allows storage migration for stopped system VMs, VRs on VMware within same Pod if StoragePool cluster scopetype
