[pve-devel] savevm tests

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

>>Yes, but finally we want do a "blockdev_snapshot_sync" 
so , no vmstate ? (because vmstate is only through savevm)

and blockdev-snapshot-sync works only for qcow2, and external snapshot(for the moment)

>>- how does that call methods inside our library? 
>>Or how do you plan to create a snapshot of all device including VM state? 

here how I see things:


for nexenta: 
     no vmstate(no possible)
     ----------
   - send freeze-fs via qemu-ga if available
   - use nexenta api to snapshot all disks
   - unfreeze freeze-fs via qemu-ga if available

for rbd:
    no vmstate (not available)
    ----------   
   - send freeze-fs via qemu-ga if available
   - savevm.  (or rbd command, it's works too)
   - unfreeze freeze-fs via qemu-ga if available

for sheepdog:
    vmstate
    -------
    savevm

    novmstate
    ---------
   - send freeze-fs via qemu-ga if available and if we don't don't
   - savevm.  (or rbd command, it's works too)
   - unfreeze freeze-fs via qemu-ga if available


for qcow2:
    vmstate
    -------
    savevm

    novmstate
    ---------
   - send freeze-fs via qemu-ga if available and if we don't don't
   - savevm.  (or rbd command, it's works too)
   - unfreeze freeze-fs via qemu-ga if available

Yes, but finally we want do a "blockdev_snapshot_sync" - how does that call methods inside our library? 
Or how do you plan to create a snapshot of all device including VM state?
