Thanks that is good news.

Yes I was thinking the same and have already talked to our local QA guy 
about how I go about adding a test to tempest


I'll update the spec.

Hello Paul,

So, Hyper-V supports nova-rescue at the moment, the patch actually got in last 
week, thanks to Dan Smith and Jay Pipes. \o/

I've tested live-migration of rescued Hyper-V instances, and it works for both 
Generation 1 and Generation 2 VMs.

I'm thinking that a tempest test for this scenario can be added, once you 
finish with your blueprint. :)

Best regards,

Hi,
The VMware driver supports rescue. Live migration should be pretty simple here 
as the rescue is only for the disk. So you can migrate the instance to whatever 
host you want. The only concern with the VMware driver is that the live 
migration patches are in review and I think that they require a spec or 
blueprint (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/270116/)

I've achieved this for libvirt driver by simply changing how rescue and

its previous setup, i.e. booting from instance primary disk again rather
than rescue image.  However saving the previous state in the domain
xml file is unnecessary since during unrescue the domain is destroyed
and restarted. This is effectively a hard reboot so I just call hard reboot

However I was wondering which other drivers support rescue, vmware
and xen I think?  Would it be possible to implement support for live
migration of rescued instances for these drivers too?  I'm happy to do
the work to implement this, given some guidance from those with more
familiarity with these drivers than I.

Thanks

So vmware supports rescue but until this patch goes in it does not
support live migration between compute nodes?  So if my change
lands before yours then you would need to amend the
"supports_live_migrate_rescued" capabilities flag to True in your
driver to permit live migration of instances in a rescued state?

[openstack-dev] [nova] Nova Live Migration of rescued instances

2016-05-25 Thread Paul Carlton 

I'm working on a spec https://review.openstack.org/#/c/307131/ to permit
the live migration of rescued instances. I have an implementation that
works for libvirt and have addressed lack of support for this feature
in other drivers using driver capabilities.

I've achieved this for libvirt driver by simply changing how rescue and
unrescue are implemented.  In the libvirt driver rescue saves the current
domain xml in a local file and unrescue uses this to revert the instance to
its previous setup, i.e. booting from instance primary disk again rather

xml file is unnecessary since during unrescue the domain is destroyed
and restarted. This is effectively a hard reboot so I just call hard reboot
during the unrescue operation.  Hard reboot rebuilds the domain xml
