Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH-SERIES guest-common/docs v3] add pre/post/failed snapshot hooks
Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2023 16:58:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230123155847.598536-1-s.hanreich@proxmox.com> (raw)
This patch series introduces the pre/post/failed-snapshot hooks that run before/
after a snapshot is taken, or after failing to take a snapshot.
I used the new example script from pve-docs as template for my test hookscripts.
What I tested:
* Normal snapshotting, without VM state, without hookscript
* snapshot works, no hooks executed
* Normal snapshotting, with VM state, without hookscript
* snapshot works, no hooks executed
* Normal snapshotting, without VM state, with hookscript
* snapshot works, pre/post hooks work
* Normal snapshotting, with VM state, with hookscript
* snapshot works, pre/post hooks work
* Taking snapshot with existing name, with hookscript
* fails, no hookscripts get executed
* Failed at wrong storage config, with hookscript
* pre/failed get executed, lock gets released
* Failed at taking RAM Snapshot (simulated with monkey-patched die), with hookscript
* pre/failed get executed, lock gets released
* pre/post hookscript that detaches/attaches unsnapshottable disk (without --skiplock)
* snapshotting fails, attach/detach fails, pre/failed get executed, lock released
* pre/post hookscript that detaches/attaches unsnapshottable disk (with --skiplock)
* snapshotting works, attach/detach works, pre/post get executed
* restoring works, detached disk is detached after restoring
* pre-snapshot hookscript exits with code > 0
* pre/failed-snapshot get executed, snapshot fails, lock gets released
* post-snapshot hookscript exits with code > 0
* pre/post/failed-snapshot get executed, snapshot fails, lock gets released
* Taking snapshot of template
* fails, no hookscripts get executed
* execute commands in VM in pre/post via qm guest exec
* snapshot succeeds, commands get executed, pre/post executed
Changes from v2 (thanks fabian!):
* added guards, so cfs_update() only gets called when necessary
* added PVE_SNAPSHOT_PHASE envvar to failed-snapshot as indicator
when the failure occured
Changes from v1:
* added failed-snapshot hook that runs after a failed snapshot
* this enables users to revert any changes made in pre-snapshot hooks
in case of errors
* running cfs_update() after every hookscript invocation
* adjusted the call sites of exec_hookscript()
* particularly interesting for pre-snapshot since some checks now run
before the hook runs
* VM/CT config is now locked during hookscript execution
Thanks to Fiona and Fabian for their valuable input/help!
