The QoS table showed the running VM's bandwidth while an edit changes the
definition for the next start. Each row posts average, peak and burst,
so an edit wrote the running values back over a pending change, and a
direction added while the VM ran had no row. The table shows the
persistent definition now. An edit also kept only the posted values and
dropped an inbound floor; it now updates them and keeps the rest.
On a running VM a disk edit changes the definition for the next start,
but the disk list and its edit form showed the running VM's disks. The
form posts every field, so an edit wrote the running values back over
earlier pending changes (cache, io, serial, ...), and a disk only in the
next definition could not be edited. The list now shows the persistent
disks. A volume is deleted only when both definitions use it at that
device, since the list may now show another source than the running VM.
Destroy deletes the NVRAM file only when asked (VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_NVRAM,
otherwise KEEP_NVRAM): a unit test checks the flags, live tests check the
file on the host both ways. A VM whose disk is an overlay with a snapshot
goes with its own image and the snapshot metadata, and the base image
stays, since other images may grow from it.
Comments, docstrings and live test names cited item IDs of a roadmap
that is not part of the repository. They now say what is meant, or
nothing where the sentence stands without them. Test assertions and
behavior are unchanged.
- change_network detached the NIC and attached one built from scratch,
dropping its QoS, link state and other settings. It now edits the NIC
of the persistent definition in place and defines once; a running VM
gets the change at its next start, as the UI already says.
- add_network, delete_network and set_link_state did nothing on a
paused VM, and set_link_state rewrote the persistent NIC from the live
XML. They now update the running definition when the VM is active and
the persistent one always, each from its own XML.
- Boot and console edits used xml.etree, which renamed the namespace
prefixes of other tools' metadata (<app:info> became <ns0:info>); they
use lxml now.
- The NIC table and the clone form are filled from the persistent
definition (Instance.config_networks, config_disks), so a pending NIC
change is shown and can be edited again.
A live test runs 18 domain edits on stopped, running and paused VMs
whose definition has elements WebVirtCloud does not manage, and checks
for each the effect, that nothing else in the persistent definition
changed, and that persistent-only edits leave the running VM alone.
Taking or reverting an internal snapshot redefined a pflash VM with a
rom loader around the operation. libvirt 10.10 rejects that definition,
so the request ended in a 500; where it was accepted, the snapshot
recorded the fake loader, and a failure between rewrite and restore
left the VM unable to boot.
The definition is no longer touched: libvirt decides, and its error is
shown (for a running VM with raw NVRAM: 'internal snapshots of a VM
with pflash based firmware require QCOW2 nvram format'). A stopped VM's
disk-only internal snapshot is taken, as libvirt allows it. Revert
errors are shown too. The external snapshot path keeps its rewrite for
now.
Live tests cover running and stopped UEFI VMs; both failed with a 500
on the previous code.
Instance.proxy looked the domain up by its stored name. After a rename
or a name swap outside WebVirtCloud, an operation on one VM changed
another; after a VM was replaced under the same name, operations hit
the new VM.
wvmInstance takes the UUID and uses lookupByUUIDString, with no
fallback to the name: a missing UUID fails instead of picking another
domain. Every caller that has an Instance passes it: proxy, console,
quota, post-migration autostart and the VDI URL. Migration uses the
domain the proxy already resolved. getvvfile and the gstfsd requests
use the host's current name of that UUID.
Live tests cover a name swap and a VM replaced under the same name;
both fail on the previous code.
Destroy:
- Stops every active state, not only running; a paused VM used to keep
running as a transient domain after the undefine.
- Undefines with MANAGED_SAVE and SNAPSHOTS_METADATA, before any disk is
deleted. A managed-save image used to make the undefine fail after the
disks were already gone; now a failed undefine deletes nothing.
- Keeps disks that another domain references, directly or as a backing
file anywhere in its chain (running domains' backingStore, and the
backingStore of the volumes in the active pools for stopped ones), and
says so; they used to be deleted with the VM.
Volume delete:
- Detaches from the live domain in every active state, including paused.
- Deletes the volume only after neither the live nor the persistent
definition has the disk (bounded wait for the guest to release it),
and refuses a volume another VM references. Otherwise the volume is
kept and the user is told why.
Both hold the compute exclusively for the usage scan and the deletion,
so another VM cannot attach the disk in between; the destroy
confirmation page (GET) takes no lock.
Live tests reproduce each case on a RHEL qemu-kvm host and fail on the
previous code; unit tests cover the destroy ordering and the locks.
- Runs only when TEST_LIBVIRT_HOST is set, so manage.py test on a
developer machine no longer creates VMs on the local libvirtd.
- Every VM and volume is named wvc-test-*, and volumes live in a
temporary wvc-test pool (/var/lib/libvirt/wvc-test) instead of the
default pool next to real images.
- Cleanup removes only prefixed domains and the test pool's volumes;
it also clears leftovers of an interrupted run before starting, and
tolerates domains that turned transient.
- tearDownClass fails if any domain or volume outside the test
namespace appeared, disappeared or was replaced.
- livetest gains create_volume/define_vm helpers and
test_live_dataloss.py, whose setUpClass opens the class transaction
last, so a failed libvirt connection cannot lock the test database
for later test classes.
The first live tests reproduce two known external-snapshot data losses
and are marked expectedFailure: reverting deletes a disk added after
the snapshot, and deleting the older of two snapshots deletes the
newer one's overlay.
