The default behavior while creating external checkpoints is to pause the
guest while the memory state is captured. We want the users to sacrifice
space saving for creating the memory save image while the guest is live
to minimize downtime.
This patch adds a flag that causes the guest not to be paused before
taking the snapshot.
*include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in:
- add new paused reason: VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_SNAPSHOT
- add new flag for taking snapshot: VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE
*tools/virsh-domain-monitor.c:
- add string representation for VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_SNAPSHOT
*tools/virsh-snapshot.c:
- add support for VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE
*tools/virsh.pod:
- add docs for --live option added to use
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE flag
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869100 mentioned some
confusion about 'virsh snapshot-list' errors. Clean up a
misleading error message, and add some documentation.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c (cmdSnapshotList): Mention --current
rather than --from when appropriate.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Mention that the named starting
point is NOT part of the list except under --tree.
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html recommends that
the 'If not, see <url>.' phrase be a separate sentence.
* tests/securityselinuxhelper.c: Remove doubled line.
* tests/securityselinuxtest.c: Likewise.
* globally: s/; If/. If/
Now that vshCommandRun() checks for the connection automaticaly, remove
all of the redundant checks in the code.
vshConnectionUsability() no longer needs to be exported and this patch
marks it static.
Almost done with the splits.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.h: New file.
* tools/Makefile.am (virsh_SOURCES): Build it.
* tools/virsh.c: Use new header.
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c: Likewise.
* tools/virsh.c: New macro vshStrcasecmp
* tools/virsh-domain-monitor.c: Use vshStrcasecmp instead of
strcasecmp
* tools/virsh-snapshot.c: Likewise
* cfg.mk: Only avoid doing strcase checking for virsh.c
On some fallback paths in virsh, error reported by the previously failed
API is cleared by virResetLastError() that doesn't free error stored by
virsh. This patch changes this to clear it using vshResetLibvirtError().
Virsh uses an error handler to save errors from libvirt. On some code
paths it's needed to clear libvirt errors and continue on fallback code
paths without reporting failure.
This patch adds function vshResetLibvirtError() that clears error
returned by libvirt and updates all places where the old two-line method
was used.
Commands to manage domain snapshot are moved from virsh.c to
virsh-snapshot.c.
* virsh.c: Remove domain snapshot commands.
* virsh-snapshot.c: New file, filled with domain snapshot commands.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add virsh-snapshot.c
* cfg.mk: Skip strcase and config.h including checking for
virsh-snapshot.c
