Feature/kvm external disk
Implement external-disk
parameter being an ordered list of parameters type
and path
.
type
is one of qcow2
and ceph
.
If path
starts with /
is considered absolute, otherwise relative to the instance root.
path
is never automatically created, if it does not exist or it is not available to the user (read/write), it shall result with failing start of the VM and most possibly missing promise.
Hide external-disk-number
, external-disk-size
and external-disk-format
, but keep it working to ease eventual manual migration by the user.
Tasks:
-
(this is totally separated) fully testing existing features of
external-disk-number
,external-disk-size
andexternal-disk-format
with enabledexternal_storage_list
in slapos.cfg - make new implementation with test
- hide old implementation from schemas (keep it working)
- provide migration notes (that storage_home becomes obsolete, and how to link disks)
- test ceph backend OR mark it as experimental, solution: marked as experimental
-
resilient won't be supported, as it makes no sense with
external-disk
- review and improve if needed
- finish and merge:
-
tentative: fail the profile or disallow starting with failing promise if
external-disk
andexternal-disk-number
are both present
