Hello Michael,
Many thanks for your response. I somehow found this code base (in
installed openstack instance) and I inserted debug steps (opening a log
file and printing statements into it) to see if the code flows through the
file (specifically file '/usr/share/pyshared/nova/compute/api.py' in
function 'def _create_instance'). Also I checked stat of all files to see
if they get accessed when I do the provisioning. But neither my debug
worked nor I could get the access stat of file.
So I have doubt. either these are not the files (but as you pointed out,
these are the correct file) or I have to insert debug statements in source
files and build them again to see effect.
Let me do changes in source code, build it and see what happens. If you
have any comments please let me know.
Thanks
Regards
Deepak

Subject:Re: [Openstack] Vm provision code flow in openstack
Sent by:mikalst...@gmail.com
So, there are a few things which happen here. VM provisioning is handled
by the compute driver (checkout run_instance in nova/compute/manager.py).
Scheduling however is handled by the scheduler, which has a plugin system
(checkout nova/scheduler/*).
Also, you'd be better off browing git for the source code (
http://github.com/openstack/nova.git) instead of the system installed
files.
Cheers,
Michael

Hello everyone,
I am trying to understand the flow of control in code in openstack for
provisioning a VM. I want to understand it in order to do modify scheduler
module as per our requirements.
I have found the code base which, if I am not wrong, is kept in
/usr/share/pyshared/nova/* directory but I can't see .py files getting
accessed or executed if I provision a VM.
Can someone please help me to understand the flow of code or give me
pointers from where I can understand it. I hope even if I know the
starting point (REST handler for VM provisioning call) in code then I will
be able to trace it.
Thanks
Regards
Deepak
