Class LXCHypervisor

source code


LXC-based virtualization.

Since current (Spring 2010) distributions are not yet ready for running under a container, the following changes must be done manually:

Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self)
(Constructor)

source code 

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Overrides: object.__init__
(inherited documentation)

ListInstances(self)

source code 

Get the list of running instances.

Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.ListInstances

GetInstanceInfo(self, instance_name)

source code 

Get instance properties.

Parameters:
  • instance_name (string) - the instance name
Returns:
(name, id, memory, vcpus, stat, times)
Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.GetInstanceInfo

GetAllInstancesInfo(self)

source code 

Get properties of all instances.

Returns:
[(name, id, memory, vcpus, stat, times),...]
Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.GetAllInstancesInfo

StartInstance(self, instance, block_devices, startup_paused)

source code 

Start an instance.

For LCX, we try to mount the block device and execute 'lxc-start'. We use volatile containers.

Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.StartInstance

StopInstance(self, instance, force=False, retry=False, name=None)

source code 

Stop an instance.

This method has complicated cleanup tests, as we must:

  • try to kill all leftover processes
  • try to unmount any additional sub-mountpoints
  • finally unmount the instance dir
Parameters:
  • instance - instance to stop
  • force - whether to do a "hard" stop (destroy)
  • retry - whether this is just a retry call
  • name - if this parameter is passed, the the instance object should not be used (will be passed as None), and the shutdown must be done by name only
Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.StopInstance

RebootInstance(self, instance)

source code 

Reboot an instance.

This is not (yet) implemented (in Ganeti) for the LXC hypervisor.

Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.RebootInstance

GetNodeInfo(self)

source code 

Return information about the node.

This is just a wrapper over the base GetLinuxNodeInfo method.

Returns:
a dict with the following keys (values in MiB):
  • memory_total: the total memory size on the node
  • memory_free: the available memory on the node for instances
  • memory_dom0: the memory used by the node itself, if available
Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.GetNodeInfo

GetInstanceConsole(cls, instance, hvparams, beparams)
Class Method

source code 

Return a command for connecting to the console of an instance.

Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.GetInstanceConsole

Verify(self)

source code 

Verify the hypervisor.

For the chroot manager, it just checks the existence of the base dir.

Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.Verify

PowercycleNode(cls)
Class Method

source code 

LXC powercycle, just a wrapper over Linux powercycle.

Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.PowercycleNode

MigrateInstance(self, instance, target, live)

source code 

Migrate an instance.

Parameters:
  • instance (objects.Instance) - the instance to be migrated
  • target (string) - hostname (usually ip) of the target node
  • live (boolean) - whether to do a live or non-live migration
Overrides: hv_base.BaseHypervisor.MigrateInstance
