Spell out that TCP and TLS needs virtproxyd as 'off-host' might mean that also ssh transport requires it. Also fix the name of the 'virtproxyd' daemon. Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>

SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
``virtstoraged`` [*OPTION*]...
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The ``virtstoraged`` program is a server side daemon component of the libvirt
|
|
virtualization management system.
|
|
|
|
It is one of a collection of modular daemons that replace functionality
|
|
previously provided by the monolithic ``libvirtd`` daemon.
|
|
|
|
This daemon runs on virtualization hosts to provide management for storage
|
|
pools.
|
|
|
|
The ``virtstoraged`` daemon only listens for requests on a local Unix domain
|
|
socket. Remote access via TLS/TCP and backwards compatibility with legacy
|
|
clients expecting ``libvirtd`` is provided by the ``virtproxyd`` daemon.
|
|
|
|
Restarting ``virtstoraged`` does not interrupt running guests. Guests continue to
|
|
operate and changes in their state will generally be picked up automatically
|
|
during startup. None the less it is recommended to avoid restarting with
|
|
running guests whenever practical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DAEMON STARTUP MODES
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The ``virtstoraged`` daemon is capable of starting in two modes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Socket activation mode
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
On hosts with systemd it is started in socket activation mode and it will rely
|
|
on systemd to create and listen on the UNIX sockets and pass them as pre-opened
|
|
file descriptors. In this mode most of the socket related config options in
|
|
``/etc/libvirt/virtstoraged.conf`` will no longer have any effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Traditional service mode
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
On hosts without systemd, it will create and listen on UNIX sockets itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
``-h``, ``--help``
|
|
|
|
Display command line help usage then exit.
|
|
|
|
``-d``, ``--daemon``
|
|
|
|
Run as a daemon & write PID file.
|
|
|
|
``-f``, ``--config *FILE*``
|
|
|
|
Use this configuration file, overriding the default value.
|
|
|
|
``-p``, ``--pid-file *FILE*``
|
|
|
|
Use this name for the PID file, overriding the default value.
|
|
|
|
``-t``, ``--timeout *SECONDS*``
|
|
|
|
Exit after timeout period (in seconds), provided there are no client
|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|
``-v``, ``--verbose``
|
|
|
|
Enable output of verbose messages.
|
|
|
|
``--version``
|
|
|
|
Display version information then exit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SIGNALS
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
On receipt of ``SIGHUP`` ``virtstoraged`` will reload its configuration.
|
|

FILES
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
When run as *root*
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* ``@SYSCONFDIR@/libvirt/virtstoraged.conf``
|
|
|
|
The default configuration file used by ``virtstoraged``, unless overridden on the
|
|
command line using the ``-f`` | ``--config`` option.
|
|
|
|
* ``@RUNSTATEDIR@/libvirt/virtstoraged-sock``
|
|
* ``@RUNSTATEDIR@/libvirt/virtstoraged-sock-ro``
|
|
* ``@RUNSTATEDIR@/libvirt/virtstoraged-admin-sock``
|
|
|
|
The sockets ``virtstoraged`` will use.
|
|
|
|
The TLS **Server** private key ``virtstoraged`` will use.
|
|
|
|
* ``@RUNSTATEDIR@/virtstoraged.pid``
|
|
|
|
The PID file to use, unless overridden by the ``-p`` | ``--pid-file`` option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When run as *non-root*
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
* ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libvirt/virtstoraged.conf``
|
|
|
|
The default configuration file used by ``virtstoraged``, unless overridden on the
|
|
command line using the ``-f``|``--config`` option.
|
|
|
|
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtstoraged-sock``
|
|
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtstoraged-admin-sock``
|
|
|
|
The sockets ``virtstoraged`` will use.
|
|
|
|
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtstoraged.pid``
|
|
|
|
The PID file to use, unless overridden by the ``-p``|``--pid-file`` option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` is not set in your environment, ``virtstoraged`` will use
|
|
``$HOME/.config``
|
|
|
|
If ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` is not set in your environment, ``virtstoraged`` will use
|
|
``$HOME/.cache``
|
|
|

|
EXAMPLES
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
To retrieve the version of ``virtstoraged``:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# virtstoraged --version
|
|
virtstoraged (libvirt) @VERSION@
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start ``virtstoraged``, instructing it to daemonize and create a PID file:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# virtstoraged -d
|
|
# ls -la @RUNSTATEDIR@/virtstoraged.pid
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 9 02:40 @RUNSTATEDIR@/virtstoraged.pid
