This patch enable redundant virtual routers.
1. To enable this feature, db need to be updated using follow SQL by now(we
would get a UI way later):
UPDATE network_offerings SET redundant_router=1 WHERE guest_type="Virtual" AND
system_only=0;
2. System would try to start up two routers at different hosts. But if there is
only one host in the zone, system would start up two routers on it.
3. The failover part is using keepalived, and connection tracking part is using
conntrackd. There would be one master router and one backup router. The status
of router(master or backup) can be query from the database table domain_router
now. Management server would update the status every 30s by default.
4. The routers for the same zone would use same external NIC(same ip and mac).
The script used for fail-over would ensure only one external NIC present in the
network at any time.
5. Currently management server don't got the ability to stop one of router is
both of them reported as master. The feature is in the todo list.
After two routers start up, disconnect anyone of them, the guest network
shouldn't be affected, and established connection(http, ssh, etc.) should still
works. The fail-over on gateway part should be 3~4 seconds.
Currently the patch works with KVM. Would deal with vmware and XenServer soon.

Changes:
- Throw an exception if the deployment plan passed into start() cannot be satisfied by the current constraints (such as root volume is already created in a pool in a different
cluster).
Changes:
- Added a new parameter to pass in deployment plan during vm start
- If a hostId is passed in to the DeployVMCmd (only allowed for a root admin to test a host), a plan is passed in to start the vm in that host's datacenter, pod and cluster and on that host
- If a plan is passed in during start, but if the VM's root volume is READY, then plan of the root volume takes precedence. In that case the plan passed in is not used.
Changes:
- When the ROOT volume of a VM is found to be READY, changed planner to reuse the pool for every volume(root or data) that is READY and that has a pool not in maintenance and not in avoid state
- If ROOT volume is not ready, we dont care about the DATA disk. Both would get re-allocated.
- When a pool is reused for a ready volume, Planner does not call storagepool allocators. And such volumes are not assigned a pool in the deployment destination returned by the planner. Accordingly StorageManager :: prepare method wont recreate these volumes since they are not mentioned in the destination.
Changes:
- Reason was that the old volume's templateId was being updated before volume creation was attempted. So on the retry, we dint find a difference in volume's templateId and VM's templateId and did not enter the recreation logic.
- Fix is to update the new volume's templateId with the VM's templateId while creating the new volume. The old volume's templateId stays the same and the volume is marked as 'Destroy' when a new volume is created.
Changes:
While starting a System VM:
- We check, incase the ROOT volume is READY, if the templateID of the volume matches the SystemVM's template.
- If it does not match, we update the volumes' templateId and ask deployment planner to reassign a pool to this volume even if it is READY.
In general:
- If a root volume is READY, we remove its entry from the deploydestination before calling storagemanager :: prepare()
- StorageManager creates a volume if a pool is assigned to it in deploydestination passed to it.
- If a volume has no pool assigned to it in deploydestination, it means the volume is ready and has a pool already allocated to it.
