CLOUDSTACK-9619: Updates for SAN-assisted snapshotsThis PR is to address a few issues in #1600 (which was recently merged to master for 4.10). In StorageSystemDataMotionStrategy.performCopyOfVdi we call getSnapshotDetails. In one such scenario, the source snapshot in question is coming from secondary storage (when we are creating a new volume on managed storage from a snapshot of ours thats on secondary storage). This usually worked in the regression tests due to a bit of "luck": We retrieve the ID of the snapshot (which is on secondary storage) and then try to pull out its StorageVO object (which is for primary storage). If you happen to have a primary storage that matches the ID (which is the ID of a secondary storage), then getSnapshotDetails populates its Map<String, String> with inapplicable data (that is later ignored) and you dont easily see a problem. However, if you dont have a primary storage that matches that ID (which I didnt today because I had removed that primary storage), then a NullPointerException is thrown. I have fixed that issue by skipping getSnapshotDetails if the source is coming from secondary storage. While fixing that, I noticed a couple more problems: 1) We can invoke grantAccess on a snapshot thats actually on secondary storage (this doesnt amount to much because the VolumeServiceImpl ignores the call when its not for a primary-storage driver). 2) We can invoke revokeAccess on a snapshot thats actually on secondary storage (this doesnt amount to much because the VolumeServiceImpl ignores the call when its not for a primary-storage driver). I have corrected those issues, as well. I then came across one more problem: When using a SAN snapshot and copying it to secondary storage or creating a new managed-storage volume from a snapshot of ours on secondary storage, we attach to the SR in the XenServer code, but detach from it in the StorageSystemDataMotionStrategy code (by sending a message to the XenServer code to perform an SR detach). Since we know to detach from the SR after the copy is done, we should detach from the SR in the XenServer code (without that code having to be explicitly called from outside of the XenServer logic). I went ahead and changed that, as well.

Apache CloudStack

Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution.
CloudStack is a turnkey solution that includes the entire "stack" of features most organizations want with an IaaS cloud: compute orchestration, Network-as-a-Service, user and account management, a full and open native API, resource accounting, and a first-class User Interface (UI).
CloudStack currently supports the most popular hypervisors: VMware vSphere, KVM, XenServer, XenProject and Hyper-V as well as OVM and LXC containers.
Users can manage their cloud with an easy to use Web interface, command line tools, and/or a full-featured query based API.

This distribution includes cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted. See http://www.wassenaar.org/ for more information.
The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object code and source code.
The following provides more details on the included cryptographic software:
- CloudStack makes use of JaSypt cryptographic libraries
- CloudStack has a system requirement of MySQL, and uses native database encryption functionality.
- CloudStack makes use of the Bouncy Castle general-purpose encryption library.
- CloudStack can optionally interacts with and controls OpenSwan-based VPNs.
- CloudStack has a dependency on and makes use of JSch - a java SSH2 implementation.
