Eric Blake	1b5c8d4cbc	storage: expose volume meta-type in XML ... I got annoyed at having to use both 'virsh vol-list $pool --details' AND 'virsh vol-dumpxml $vol $pool' to learn if I had populated the volume correctly. Since two-thirds of the data present in virStorageVolGetInfo() already appears in virStorageVolGetXMLDesc(), this just adds the remaining piece of information, as: <volume type='...'> ... </volume> * docs/formatstorage.html.in: Document new <volume type=...>. * docs/schemas/storagevol.rng (vol): Add it to RelaxNG. * src/conf/storage_conf.h (virStorageVolTypeToString): Declare. * src/conf/storage_conf.c (virStorageVolTargetDefFormat): Output the metatype. (virStorageVolDefParseXML): Parse it, for unit tests. * tests/storagevolxml2xmlout/vol-*.xml: Update tests to match. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>	2013-11-25 10:55:19 -07:00
Sebastian Wiedenroth	29bc4fe646	Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver ... This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt. It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that. A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster. It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000. A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi. To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity. Volumes can also be resized later. In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>. To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>. The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag. <disk type='network'> ... <source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name"> <host name="localhost" port="7000"/> </source> </disk> To work right this patch parses the output of collie, so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and will be in the next release.
