[pve-devel] [PATCH v6 qemu-server 2/5] disk reassign: add API endpoint

Fri Apr 2 12:19:20 CEST 2021


The goal of this new API endpoint is to provide an easy way to move a
disk between VMs as this was only possible with manual intervention
until now. Either by renaming the VM disk or by manually adding the
disks volid to the config of the other VM.

The latter can easily cause unexpected behavior such as disks attached
to VM B would be deleted if it used to be a disk of VM A. This happens
because PVE assumes that the VMID in the volname always matches the VM
the disk is attached to and thus, would remove any disk with VMID A
when VM A was deleted.

The term `reassign` was chosen as it is not yet used
for VM disks.

v5 -> v6:
* guard Replication snapshot cleanup
    additionally to the eval, that code is now only run if the volume is
    on a storage with the 'replicate' feature
* add permission check for target vmid
* changed regex to match unused keys better

thx @Fabian for these suggestions/catching problems

v4 -> v5:
* implemented suggestions from Fabian [1]
    * logging before action
    * improving description
    * improving error messages
    * using Replication::prepare to remove replication snapshots
    * check if disk is physical disk using /dev/...

v3 -> v4: nothing

v2 -> v3:
* reordered the locking as discussed with fabian [0] to
run checks
    fork worker
	lock source config
	    lock target config
		run checks
		...

* added more checks
    * will not reassign to or from templates
    * will not reassign if VM has snapshots present
* cleanup if disk used to be replicated
* made task log slightly more verbose
* integrated general recommendations regarding code
* renamed `disk` to `drive_key`
* prepended some vars with `source_` for easier distinction

v1 -> v2: print config key and volid info at the end of the job so it
shows up on the CLI and task log

rfc -> v1:
* add support to reassign unused disks
* add support to provide a config digest for the target vm
* add additional check if disk key is present in config
* reorder checks a bit

In order to support unused disk I had to extend
PVE::QemuServer::Drive::valid_drive_names for the API parameter
validation.

Checks are ordered so that cheap tests are run at the first chance to
fail early.

The check if both VMs are present on the node is a bit redundant because
locking the config files will fail if the VM is not present. But with
the additional check we can provide a useful error message to the user
instead of a "Configuration file xyz does not exist" error.
