[one-users] Setting the "SHAREABLE" attribute

[Gareth Bult]

Hi, 

I've bypassed this for now by adding a line to "deploy" that says; 
/var/lib/one/remotes/hooks/vdc/deploy.py $domain 
#(just below cat > $domain) 

And adding the python script; 


#!/usr/bin/python 

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET 
from sys import argv 
original = ET.parse(argv[1]) 
params = original.findall(".//disk") 
for p in params: if p.get('device') == 'disk': p.insert(0,ET.Element("shareable",{})) 
original.write(argv[1]) 
This makes all devices of type "disk" shareable. 

I *think* anyone using current versions of KVM/libvirt who want to do live migration will need this ... unless 
they set "cache=none", which doesn't always do great things for your performance ...

Subject: Re: [one-users] Setting the "SHAREABLE" attribute 

Right now there is no way to set this value as the deployment file (libvirt xml file) is generated in the core and lacks this functionality. 

We are evaluating the best way to fix. Adding a "raw" parameter for DISKS will be enough or would it be better to have also a default RAW section for all the disks? 

There are more generic and maybe better ways to add this feature but we are really near to the 4.4 release and we are not sure if they can make the feature cut. 

Cheers

Hi, 

For the most recent versions of libvirt, in order to do a live migration with writethru cache turned 
on, the "<SHAREABLE/>" attribute needs to be set in the DISK section of the configuration. "virt-manager" 
has a tick box for this in it's disk setup section .. is there an easy way to implement this in OpenNebula?
