[Users] questions about vdsm supervdsmserver

2013-04-26 Thread bigclouds
hi,all.
i have 2 questions about supervdsmserver,
1.why it is created separately as a daemon?
   its many function have never been used, and its function can be done by 
calling libvirt directly, why supervdsmserver is need?
2.it seems that only one supervdsmserver should be exist, by killing  old ones 
to assure that . but look at this, and please  explain to me.

  Ah, ok.
  SO after reading
  http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Qemu_guest_agent
  some questions
 
  can we use ootb qemu-guest-agent with ovirt 3.2.1 if we have for
  example a CentOS 6 guest (with qemu-guest-agent-0.12.1.2-2.355)?
  Does oVirt create a virtio-serial port to communicate with libvit and
  does it use libvirt with any options to quiesce  fs on guest?

 iirc, it should work - testing/feedback would be welcome.

I believe vdsm does not create the virtio-serial port when starting the VM, so 
you'd have to modify this behaviour with hooks [1].
Once you do that, whenever you create a live snapshot vdsm will notify libvirt 
to quiesce first.
Note that afaik, quiesce in qemu-ga is only supported for Linux guests.


Really cool to hear how things are progressing! The qemu-ga quiesces what 
exactly? The guest filesystem? What about potential applications that might be 
running inside the guest? Can you call live snapshots of a linux guest 
Application Consistent?

The good thing about Microsoft VSS is that MS applications are registered to 
VSS so that when you trigger VSS to quiece, all of the other applications are 
told to pause as well.

/Karli



VSS quiesce support patches have been submitted, but I'm not sure what the 
status is there yet.

[1] Hooks preso: http://www.ovirt.org/File:OVirt-hooks-netapp-jan2013.odp


 
  Can one use as an alternative the command fsfreeze in CentOS 6.4 guest
  (even if in tech preview) as in :
  https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Technical_Notes/storage.html
 

 what i remember is that it supposed to be pluggable/configurable for you
 to run the relevant commands you want.
 ayal may remember better
