The new CA framework introduced basic support for comma-separated
list of management servers for agent, which makes an external LB
unnecessary.
This extends that feature to implement LB sorting algorithms that
sorts the management server list before they are sent to the agents.
This adds a central intelligence in the management server and adds
additional enhancements to Agent class to be algorithm aware and
have a background mechanism to check/fallback to preferred management
server (assumed as the first in the list). This is support for any
indirect agent such as the KVM, CPVM and SSVM agent, and would
provide support for management server host migration during upgrade
(when instead of in-place, new hosts are used to setup new mgmt server).
This FR introduces two new global settings:
- `indirect.agent.lb.algorithm`: The algorithm for the indirect agent LB.
- `indirect.agent.lb.check.interval`: The preferred host check interval
for the agent's background task that checks and switches to agent's
preferred host.
The indirect.agent.lb.algorithm supports following algorithm options:
- static: use the list as provided.
- roundrobin: evenly spreads hosts across management servers based on
host's id.
- shuffle: (pseudo) randomly sorts the list (not recommended for production).
Any changes to the global settings - `indirect.agent.lb.algorithm` and
`host` does not require restarting of the mangement server(s) and the
agents. A message bus based system dynamically reacts to change in these
global settings and propagates them to all connected agents.
Comma-separated management server list is propagated to agents on
following cases:
- Addition of a host (including ssvm, cpvm systevms).
- Connection or reconnection by the agents to a management server.
- After admin changes the 'host' and/or the
'indirect.agent.lb.algorithm' global settings.
On the agent side, the 'host' setting is saved in its properties file as:
`host=<comma separated addresses>@<algorithm name>`.
First the agent connects to the management server and sends its current
management server list, which is compared by the management server and
in case of failure a new/update list is sent for the agent to persist.
From the agent's perspective, the first address in the propagated list
will be considered the preferred host. A new background task can be
activated by configuring the `indirect.agent.lb.check.interval` which is
a cluster level global setting from CloudStack and admins can also
override this by configuring the 'host.lb.check.interval' in the
`agent.properties` file.
Every time agent gets a ms-host list and the algorithm, the host specific
background check interval is also sent and it dynamically reconfigures
the background task without need to restart agents.
Note: The 'static' and 'roundrobin' algorithms, strictly checks for the
order as expected by them, however, the 'shuffle' algorithm just checks
for content and not the order of the comma separate ms host addresses.

Allowed zone-wide primary storage based on a custom plug-in to be added via the GUI in a KVM-only environment (previously this only worked for XenServer and VMware)
Added support for root disks on managed storage with KVM
Added support for volume snapshots with managed storage on KVM
Enable creating a template directly from a volume (i.e. without having to go through a volume snapshot) on KVM with managed storage
Only allow the resizing of a volume for managed storage on KVM if the volume in question is either not attached to a VM or is attached to a VM in the Stopped state.
Included support for Reinstall VM on KVM with managed storage
Enabled offline migration on KVM from non-managed storage to managed storage and vice versa
Included support for online storage migration on KVM with managed storage (NFS and Ceph to managed storage)
Added support to download (extract) a managed-storage volume to a QCOW2 file
When uploading a file from outside of CloudStack to CloudStack, set the min and max IOPS, if applicable.
Included support for the KVM auto-convergence feature
The compression flag was actually added in version 1.0.3 (1000003) as opposed to version 1.3.0 (1003000) (changed this to reflect the correct version)
On KVM when using iSCSI-based managed storage, if the user shuts a VM down from the guest OS (as opposed to doing so from CloudStack), we need to pass to the KVM agent a list of applicable iSCSI volumes that need to be disconnected.
Added a new Global Setting: kvm.storage.live.migration.wait
For XenServer, added a check to enforce that only volumes from zone-wide managed storage can be storage motioned from a host in one cluster to a host in another cluster (cannot do so at the time being with volumes from cluster-scoped managed storage)
Don’t allow Storage XenMotion on a VM that has any managed-storage volume with one or more snapshots.
Enabled for managed storage with VMware: Template caching, create snapshot, delete snapshot, create volume from snapshot, and create template from snapshot
Added an SIOC API plug-in to support VMware SIOC
When starting a VM that uses managed storage in a cluster other than the one it last was running in, we need to remove the reference to the iSCSI volume from the original cluster.
Added the ability to revert a volume to a snapshot
Enabled cluster-scoped managed storage
Added support for VMware dynamic discovery
This feature allows using templates and ISOs avoiding secondary storage as intermediate cache on KVM. The virtual machine deployment process is enhanced to supported bypassed registered templates and ISOs, delegating the work of downloading them to primary storage to the KVM agent instead of the SSVM agent.
Template and ISO registration:
- When hypervisor is KVM, a checkbox is displayed with 'Direct Download' label.
- API methods registerTemplate and registerISO are both extended with this new parameter directdownload.
- On template or ISO registration, no download job is sent to SSVM agent, CloudStack would only persist an entry on template_store_ref indicating that template or ISO has been marked as 'Direct Download' (bypassing Secondary Storage). These entries are persisted as:
template_id = Template or ISO id on vm_template table
store_id NULL
download_state = BYPASSED
state = Ready
(Note: these entries allow users to deploy virtual machine from registered templates or ISOs)
- An URL validation command is sent to a random KVM host to check if template/ISO location can be reached. Metalink are also supported by this feature. In case of a metalink, it is fetched and URL check is performed on each of its URLs.
- Checksum should be provided as indicated on #2246: {ALGORITHM}CHKSUMHASH
- After template or ISO is registered, it would be displayed in the UI
Virtual machine deployment:
When a 'Direct Download' template is selected for deployment, CloudStack would delegate template downloading to destination storage pool via destination host by a new pluggable download manager.
Download manager would handle template downloading depending on URL protocol. In case of HTTP, request headers can be set by the user via vm_template_details. Those details should be persisted as:
Key: HTTP_HEADER
Value: HEADERNAME:HEADERVALUE
In case of HTTPS, a new API method is added uploadTemplateDirectDownloadCertificate to allow user importing a client certificate into all KVM hosts' keystore before deployment.
After template or ISO is downloaded to primary storage, usual entry would be persisted on template_spool_ref indicating the mapping between template/ISO and storage pool.
