The patch adds the backend driver to support iSCSI format storage pools
and volumes for ESX host. The mapping of ESX iSCSI specifics to Libvirt
is as follows:
1. ESX static iSCSI target <------> Libvirt Storage Pools
2. ESX iSCSI LUNs <------> Libvirt Storage Volumes.
The above understanding is based on http://libvirt.org/storage.html.
The operation supported on iSCSI pools includes:
1. List storage pools & volumes.
2. Get XML descriptor operaion on pools & volumes.
3. Lookup operation on pools & volumes by name, UUID and path (if applicable).
iSCSI pools does not support operations such as: Create / remove pools
and volumes.
The patch refactors the current ESX storage driver due to following reasons:
1. Given most of the public APIs exposed by the storage driver in Libvirt
remains same, ESX storage driver should not implement logic specific
for only one supported format (current implementation only supports VMFS).
2. Decoupling interface from specific storage implementation gives us an
extensible design to hook implementation for other supported storage
formats.
This patch refactors the current driver to implement it as a facade pattern i.e.
the driver exposes all the public libvirt APIs, but uses backend drivers to get
the required task done. The backend drivers provide implementation specific to
the type of storage device.
File changes:
------------------
esx_storage_driver.c ----> esx_storage_driver.c (base storage driver)
|
|---> esx_storage_backend_vmfs.c (VMFS backend)
This will simplify the refactoring of the ESX storage driver to support
a VMFS and an iSCSI backend.
One of the tasks the storage driver needs to do is to decide which backend
driver needs to be invoked for a given request. This approach extends
virStoragePool and virStorageVol to store extra parameters:
1. privateData: stores pointer to respective backend storage driver.
2. privateDataFreeFunc: stores cleanup function pointer.
virGetStoragePool and virGetStorageVol are modfied to accept these extra
parameters as user params. virStoragePoolDispose and virStorageVolDispose
checks for cleanup operation if available.
The private data pointer allows the ESX storage driver to store a pointer
to the used backend with each storage pool and volume. This avoids the need
to detect the correct backend in each storage driver function call.

The current storage pools for NFS and iSCSI only require one host to
connect to. Future storage pools like RBD and Sheepdog will require
multiple hosts.
This patch allows multiple source hosts and rewrites the current
storage drivers.

Silently ignored flags get in the way of new features that
use those flags.
Regarding ESX migration flags - right now, ESX silently enforces
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST, VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE, and
VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE, even if those flags were not supplied; it ignored
other flags. This patch does not change the implied bits (it permits
but does not require them), but enforces only the supported bits.
If further cleanup is needed to be more particular about migration
flags, that should be a separate patch.

flags.

Change all the driver struct initializers to use the
C99 style, leaving out unused fields. This will make
it possible to add new APIs without changing every
driver. eg change:
qemudDomainResume, /* domainResume */
qemudDomainShutdown, /* domainShutdown */
NULL, /* domainReboot */
qemudDomainDestroy, /* domainDestroy */
to
.domainResume = qemudDomainResume,
.domainShutdown = qemudDomainShutdown,
.domainDestroy = qemudDomainDestroy,
And get rid of any existing C99 style initializersr which
set NULL, eg change
.listPools = vboxStorageListPools,
.numOfDefinedPools = NULL,
.listDefinedPools = NULL,
.findPoolSources = NULL,
.poolLookupByName = vboxStoragePoolLookupByName,
to
.listPools = vboxStorageListPools,
.poolLookupByName = vboxStoragePoolLookupByName,
This matches the public API and helps to get rid of some special
case code in the remote generator.
Rename driver API functions and XDR protocol structs.
No functional change included outside of the remote generator.
New APIs are added allowing streaming of content to/from
storage volumes.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add virStorageVolUpload and
virStorageVolDownload APIs
* src/driver.h, src/libvirt.c, src/libvirt_public.syms: Stub
code for new APIs
* src/storage/storage_driver.c, src/esx/esx_storage_driver.c:
Add dummy entries in driver table for new APIs
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.
This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.
Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.
Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.
Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.
Instead of just reporting that a task failed get the
localized message from the TaskInfo error and include
it in the reported error message.
Implement minimal deserialization support for the
MethodFault type in order to obtain the actual fault
type.
For example, this changes the reported error message
when trying to create a volume with zero size from
Could not create volume
to
Could not create volume: InvalidArgument - A specified parameter was not correct.
Not perfect yet, but better than before.
QueryVirtualDiskUuid is only available on an ESX(i) server. vCenter
returns an NotImplemented fault and a GSX server is missing the
VirtualDiskManager completely. Therefore only use QueryVirtualDiskUuid
with an ESX(i) server and fall back to path as storage volume key for
vCenter and GSX server.
VirtualDisks are .vmdk file based. Other files in a datastore
like .iso or .flp files don't have a UUID attached, fall back
to the path as key for them.
Instead of splitting the path part of a datastore path into
directory and file name, keep this in one piece. An example:
"[datastore] directory/file"
was split into this before:
datastoreName = "datastore"
directoryName = "directory"
fileName = "file"
Now it's split into this:
datastoreName = "datastore"
directoryName = "directory"
directoryAndFileName = "directory/file"
This simplifies code using esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath, because
directoryAndFileName is used more often than fileName. Also the
old approach expected the datastore path to reference an actual
file, but this isn't always correct, especially when listing
volumes. In that case esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath is used to parse
a path that references a directory. This fails for a vpx://
connection because the vCenter returns directory paths with a
trailing '/'. The new approach is robust against this and the
actual decision if the datastore path should reference a file or
a directory is up to the caller of esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath.
Update the tests accordingly.
With the previous storage pool UUID source not all storage pools
had a proper UUID, especially GSX storage pools. The mount path
is unique per host and cannot change during the lifetime of the
datastore. Therefore, it's MD5 sum can be used as UUID.
Use gnulib's crypto/md5 module to generate the MD5 sum.
Don't rely on summary.url anymore, because its value is different
between an esx:// and vpx:// connection. Use host.mountInfo.path
instead.
Don't fallback to lookup by UUID (actually lookup by absolute path)
in esxVI_LookupDatastoreByName when lookup by name fails. Add a
seperate function for this: esxVI_LookupDatastoreByAbsolutePath
Now a vpx:// connection has an explicitly specified host. This
allows to enabled several functions for a vpx:// connection
again, like host UUID, hostname, general node info, max vCPU
count, free memory, migration and defining new domains.
Lookup datacenter, compute resource, resource pool and host
system once and cache them. This simplifies the rest of the
code and reduces overall HTTP(S) traffic a bit.
esx:// and vpx:// can be mixed freely for a migration.
Ensure that migration source and destination refer to the
same vCenter. Also directly encode the resource pool and
host system object IDs into the migration URI in the prepare
function. Then directly build managed object references in
the perform function instead of re-looking up already known
information.
Add a pointer to the primary context of a connection and use it in all
driver functions that don't dependent on the context type. This includes
almost all functions that deal with a virDomianPtr. Therefore, using
a vpx:// connection allows you to perform all the usual domain related
actions like start, destroy, suspend, resume, dumpxml etc.
Some functions that require an explicitly specified ESX server don't work
yet. This includes the host UUID, the hostname, the general node info, the
max vCPU count and the free memory. Also not working yet are migration and
defining new domains.
Eliminate almost all backward jumps by replacing this common pattern:
int
some_random_function(void)
{
int result = 0;
...
cleanup:
<unconditional cleanup code>
return result;
failure:
<cleanup code in case of an error>
result = -1;
goto cleanup
}
with this simpler pattern:
int
some_random_function(void)
{
int result = -1;
...
result = 0;
cleanup:
if (result < 0) {
<cleanup code in case of an error>
}
<unconditional cleanup code>
return result;
}
Add a bool success variable in functions that don't have a int result
that can be used for the new pattern.
Also remove some unnecessary memsets in error paths.
Allows listing existing pools and requesting information about them.
Alter the esxVI_ProductVersion enum in a way that allows to check for
product type by masking.
Also define ESX_ERROR and ESX_VI_ERROR in a central place, instead of
defining them in each source file.
Add ESX_ERROR and ESX_VI_ERROR to the msg_gen_function list in cfg.mk.
Update po/POTFILES.in accordingly.
