Changes:
While starting a System VM:
- We check, incase the ROOT volume is READY, if the templateID of the volume matches the SystemVM's template.
- If it does not match, we update the volumes' templateId and ask deployment planner to reassign a pool to this volume even if it is READY.
In general:
- If a root volume is READY, we remove its entry from the deploydestination before calling storagemanager :: prepare()
- StorageManager creates a volume if a pool is assigned to it in deploydestination passed to it.
- If a volume has no pool assigned to it in deploydestination, it means the volume is ready and has a pool already allocated to it.
Changes:
- Planner must reassign the storage pool if the template id for system vms has changed. StorageManager must then recreate the volume if the volume has been
reassigned. This is needed to do automatic update of the system template.
- Added a new flag 'allocation_state' to zone,pod,cluster and host
- The possible values for this flag are 'Enabled' or 'Disabled'
- When a new zone,pod,cluster or host is added, allocation_state is 'Disabled' by default.
- For existing zone,pod,cluster or host, the state is 'Enabled'.
- All Add/Update/List commands for each of zone,pod,cluster or host can now take a new parameter 'allocationstate'
- If 'allocation_state' is 'Disabled', Allocators skip that zone or pod or cluster or pod.
- For a root admin, ListZones lists all zones including the 'Disabled' zones. But for any other user, the 'Disabled' zones are not included in the response.
- For any usecase that creates/deploys/adds/registers a resource and takes in zone as parameter, now we check if the Zone is 'Disabled'. If yes then the operation cannot be performed by a user other than root-admin. Add volume, snapshot, templates are examples of this usecase.
- To enable the root admin to test a particular pod/cluster/host, deployVM command takes in 'host_id' parameter that can be passed in only by root admin.
If this parameter is passed in by the admin, allocators do not search for hosts and use that host only. StoragePools are searched in the cluster of that host.
If VM cannot be deployed to that host, allocators and deployVM fails without retrying
However in case of createVolume from Snapshot, there is no VM associated. So VM passed is null and this can cause a NPE.
Allocators hardly use the VM instance. LocalStoragePoolAllocator was mainly using it for checking if host has capacity. But it need not do this check, since that is done by HostAllocators anyway.
So removing the use of VM in StoragePoolAllocators.
Bug 7723 - merge or re-write host tagging into master / 2.2
Bug 7627 - Need more logging for Allocators
Bug 8317 - Add better resource allocation failure messages
Changes for Deployment Planner to use host and storagePool allocators to find deployment destination.
Also has the changes for host tag feature.
Improved the logging for allocators.
