I was trying to understand what kind of image nova image-create creates. It’s not entirely obvious from its help output, which says — Creates a new image by taking a snapshot of a running server. But what kind of snapshot? let’s figure.
nova image-create operations
The command is invoked as below
$ nova image-create fed18 "snap1-of-fed18" --poll
Drilling into nova’s source code — nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py — this is what image-create does:
virsh managedsave, which saves and stops a running guest, to be restarted later from the saved state.
$instances_path/snapshots.
glance image-list. Update: Steps 2 and 4 above are now effectively removed with this upstream change.
Remove unnecessary steps for cold snapshots
Up until now when we created cold snapshots we were stopping the
instance, create an internal snapshot, extract the snapshot to a file
and then delete the internal snapshot before bringing up the instance.If the instance is shut down, there‘s no concurrent writer, so the image
can be directly extracted without taking an internal snapshot first,
because the snapshot and the current state are the same.In this patch the creation and deletion of the internal snapshot are
removed to eliminate the extra steps and optimize the creation of
snapshots a bit.
A simple test
To get a bit more clarity, let’s try nova’s actions on a single qocw2 disk — with a running Fedora 18 OS — using libvirt’s shell virsh and QEMU’s qemu-img:
# Save the state and stop a running guest $ virsh managedsave fed18 # Create a qemu internal snapshot $ qemu-img snapshot -c snap1 fed18.qcow2 # Get information about the disk $ qemu-img info fed18.qcow2 # Extract the internal snapshot, # convert it to raw and export it a file $ qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw -s \ snap1 fed18.qcow2 snap1-fed18.img # Get information about the new image # extracted from the snapshot $ qemu-img info snap1-fed18.img # List out file sizes of the original # and the snapshot $ ls -lash fed18.qcow2 snap1-fed18.qcow2 # Delete the internal snapshot # from the original disk $ qemu-img snapshot -d snap1 fed18.qcow2 # Again, get information of the original disk $ qemu-img info fed18.qcow2 # Start the guest again $ virsh start fed18
Thanks to Nikola Dipanov for helping me on where to look.
Update: A few things I missed to mention (thanks again for comments from Nikola) — I was using libvirt, kvm as underlying hypervisor technologies, with OpenStack Folsom release.
