Commit 1796911 from [email protected] in branch 'vcl/trunk'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1796911 ]
VCL-1052
Removed check for vmprofile.vmdisk = dedicated and repository path not
configured in VMware.pm::capture. Added logic to
VMware.pm::reclaim_vmhost_disk_space to prevent possibility of images being
deleted if the repository is not configured.
Other
Added caching of return values in the following subroutines since the results
are static for a given host:
* VIM_SSH.pm::get_config_option_descriptor_info
* VIM_SSH.pm::get_highest_vm_hardware_version_key
* VIM_SSH.pm::get_config_option_info
* VIM_SSH.pm::get_config_option_guest_os_info
* VIM_SSH.pm::get_supported_guest_os_ids
> Prevent captures from failing if VM disk mode is 'dedicated' and the
> repository is not configured

> VMware.pm's capture subroutine currently aborts if _vmprofile.vmdisk_ is set
> to _dedicated_ and the repository path is not configured. This was done to
> prevent _reclaim\_vmhost\_disk\_space_ from deleting image directories that
> may be shared with other hosts. This is a common base image creation problem
> since it hasn't been well-documented. The vcld.log error is:
> {noformat}
> VMware.pm:capture|660| ---- CRITICAL ----
> VMware.pm:capture|660| 2017-05-24 08:22:23VMware.pm:capture|660|disk type is
> set to 'dedicated' but the repository path is NOT configured for VM profile
> 'VMware ESXi - local storage', this configuration is not allowed because it
> may result in vmdk directories being deleted without a backup copy saved in
> the image repository
> VMware.pm:capture|660| ( 0) VMware.pm, capture (line: 660)
> VMware.pm:capture|660| (-1) image.pm, process (line: 179)
> VMware.pm:capture|660| (-2) vcld, make_new_child (line: 587)
> VMware.pm:capture|660| (-3) vcld, main (line: 348)
> {noformat}
> It would be better to add logic to _reclaim\_vmhost\_disk\_space_ to prevent
> possible deletion and allow captures to proceed.
