nova instance状态:power_state, vm_state, task_state


nova instance有3种状态:power_state, vm_state, task_state,分别对应horizon界面上的Power State,Status,Task

Openstack ​​wiki​​上有介绍:

  • power_state is the hypervisor state, loaded “bottom-up” from compute worker;
  • vm_state reflects the stable state based on API calls, matching user expectation, revised “top-down” within API implementation.
  • task_state reflects the transition state introduced by in-progress API calls.
  • power_state and vm_state may conflict with each other, which needs to be resolved case-by-case.

Power_state

power_state反映的是hypervisor的状态。目前都是用libvirt作为hypervisor。

例如,nova会调用libvirt api去查询instance的state

[root@node-2 ~]# virsh list --all
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
229 instance-00000139 running
230 instance-00000138 running
231 instance-00000137 running
232 instance-00000155 running
- instance-00000136 shut off
- instance-0000013a shut off

[root@node-2 ~]# virsh domstate instance-00000136
shut off

在libvirt中,共有几种状态:

  • undefined
  • defined(也叫stopped)
  • running
  • paused
  • saved

具体解释在​​这里​

下图表示在几种状态的转换关系:


Notes:

  • 有的转换依赖于domain(instance)是transient domain还是persistent domain, 如running ---(shutdown)---> defined/undefined。两者的区别在​​这里​​。思考:Openstack创建的domain是否都是persistent domain?
  • ​virsh create​​​创建transient domain;​​virsh define;virsh start​​创建、启动persistent domain

How is it updated?

  1. 调hypervisor api取得的状态总是对的;如果nova数据库中的状态与其不一致,那么更新nova数据库。
  2. nova有定时任务来检查、更新power_state
  3. 如果对instance做了操作(task),并且该操作可能影响power_state,那么在该task结束之前需要更新power_state

power_state list

目前(2015/9/21 master)有6种状态:


# nova/compute/power_state.py

# NOTE(maoy): These are *not* virDomainState values from libvirt.
# The hex value happens to match virDomainState for backward-compatibility
# reasons.
NOSTATE = 0x00
RUNNING = 0x01
PAUSED = 0x03
SHUTDOWN = 0x04 # the VM is powered off
CRASHED = 0x06
SUSPENDED = 0x07

# TODO(justinsb): Power state really needs to be a proper class,
# so that we're not locked into the libvirt status codes and can put mapping
# logic here rather than spread throughout the code
STATE_MAP = {
NOSTATE: 'pending',
RUNNING: 'running',
PAUSED: 'paused',
SHUTDOWN: 'shutdown',
CRASHED: 'crashed',
SUSPENDED: 'suspended',
}


Vm_state

vm_state反映基于API调用的一种稳定状态,而task_state反映的是一种瞬时状态。

How is it updated?

  • 只有当一个task(一个compute api call)结束时,才能更新vm_state。
  • 如果成功则同时设置task_state=None,如果失败,vm_state可能不变(task支持rollback),也可能设置为ERROR。

vm_state list


# nova/compute/vm_states.py

ACTIVE = 'active' # VM is running
BUILDING = 'building' # VM only exists in DB
PAUSED = 'paused'
SUSPENDED = 'suspended' # VM is suspended to disk.
STOPPED = 'stopped' # VM is powered off, the disk image is still there.
RESCUED = 'rescued' # A rescue image is running with the original VM image attached.
RESIZED = 'resized' # a VM with the new size is active. The user is expected to manually confirm or revert.

SOFT_DELETED = 'soft-delete' # VM is marked as deleted but the disk images are still available to restore.
DELETED = 'deleted' # VM is permanently deleted.

ERROR = 'error'

SHELVED = 'shelved' # VM is powered off, resources still on hypervisor
SHELVED_OFFLOADED = 'shelved_offloaded' # VM and associated resources are not on hypervisor

ALLOW_SOFT_REBOOT = [ACTIVE] # states we can soft reboot from
ALLOW_HARD_REBOOT = ALLOW_SOFT_REBOOT + [STOPPED, PAUSED, SUSPENDED, ERROR] # states we allow hard reboot from


Task_state

task_state反映了基于API调用的瞬时状态。

它表示instance当前处于某个API调用中的某个阶段,比vm_state更细化,让用户了解某个action/task执行到哪个步骤了,比如创建instance时会有​​scheduling -> block_device_mapping -> networking -> spawning​​。但调用完之后设置为None。

Code walk-through

nova-compute定义了如下文件:

  • nova/compute/power_state.py
  • nova/compute/vm_states.py
  • nova/compute/task_states.py

nova-api从自身角度定义了vm_state和task_state的对应关系

  • nova/api/openstack/common.py


from nova.compute import task_states
from nova.compute import vm_states

_STATE_MAP = {
vm_states.ACTIVE: {
'default': 'ACTIVE',

# Note(maoy): the OS API spec 1.1 doesn't have CONFIRMING_RESIZE
# state so we comment that out for future reference only.

task_states.RESIZE_REVERTING: 'REVERT_RESIZE',
},

def status_from_state(vm_state, task_state='default'):
"""Given vm_state and task_state, return a status string."""
task_map = _STATE_MAP.get(vm_state, dict(default='UNKNOWN'))
status = task_map.get(task_state, task_map['default'])
if status == "UNKNOWN":
LOG.error(_LE("status is UNKNOWN from vm_state=%(vm_state)s "
"task_state=%(task_state)s. Bad upgrade or db "
"corrupted?"),
{'vm_state': vm_state, 'task_state': task_state})
return status


从​​status_from_state​​​方法看,​​_STATE_MAP​​表示vm_state处于某个状态时,所有可能的task_state有哪些,都穷举出来了。这里注意,某些task_state的default值,在nova/compute/task_states.py中没有定义,如:

    vm_states.ACTIVE: {
'default': 'ACTIVE',
...}
vm_states.STOPPED: {
'default': 'SHUTOFF',
...}
vm_states.RESIZED: {
'default': 'VERIFY_RESIZE',
...}
vm_states.ERROR: {
'default': 'ERROR',
...}

给定一对vm_state/task_state,​​status_from_state​​能返回一个status字符串,这个status就是cli/horizon上的'Status':


[root@node-129 ~]# nova list | cut -d"|" -f1-6
+--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State
+--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| f6d4e67b-885c-4a10-891f-d91675e52bae | 123 | SHUTOFF | - | Shutdown
| 05be07c9-6b2a-4db9-b03b-8322c035816c | 652 | SHUTOFF | - | Shutdown
| 19d1308c-f19b-4860-979f-220fd376ef58 | ITMGMT | SHUTOFF | - | Shutdown
| c496c710-29f8-46c3-90f8-6c2606d4b252 | Winboo-vm | ACTIVE | - | Running
| a27f4030-ece5-4aeb-a84e-70bf0389f81f | abc | ACTIVE | - | Running


比较一下,nova-api列出的"Status"其实比nova-compute的vm_state(14个)多,共20个:

  • ACTIVE
  • REBOOT
  • HARD_REBOOT
  • PASSWORD
  • REBUILD
  • MIGRATING
  • RESIZE
  • BUILD
  • SHUTOFF
  • VERIFY_RESIZE
  • REVERT_RESIZE
  • PAUSED
  • SUSPENDED
  • RESCUE**
  • ERROR
  • DELETED
  • SOFT_DELETED**
  • SHELVED
  • SHELVED_OFFLOADED**
  • UNKNOWN

状态转移

参考:

不同的操作,只有当instance处于特定的vm_state和task_state时才能进行。这个控制不是由nova-api来完成的,而是由nova-compute来决定的:

​nova/compute/api.py​​定义了nova-compute暴露给外部的接口。大多数方法名称就是操作名,如​​create​​,​​restore​​, ​​shelve​​, ​​soft_delete​​。

基本上所有方法都用​​check_instance_state​​修饰了。这个修饰器限定了该操作在某些vm_state/task_state下才可以进行。比如:


@wrap_check_policy
@check_instance_lock
@check_instance_state(vm_state=[vm_states.SOFT_DELETED])
def restore(self, context, instance):
"""Restore a previously deleted (but not reclaimed) instance."""

@wrap_check_policy
@check_instance_cell
@check_instance_state(vm_state=[vm_states.ACTIVE, vm_states.STOPPED,
vm_states.PAUSED, vm_states.SUSPENDED])
def snapshot(self, context, instance, name, extra_properties=None):
"""Snapshot the given instance."""

@wrap_check_policy
@check_instance_lock
@check_instance_state(vm_state=set(
vm_states.ALLOW_SOFT_REBOOT + vm_states.ALLOW_HARD_REBOOT),
task_state=[None, task_states.REBOOTING,
task_states.REBOOT_PENDING,
task_states.REBOOT_STARTED,
task_states.REBOOTING_HARD,
task_states.RESUMING,
task_states.UNPAUSING,
task_states.PAUSING,
task_states.SUSPENDING])
def reboot(self, context, instance, reboot_type):
"""Reboot the given instance."""


所以只要查看​​check_instance_state​​的参数就能确定操作可行与否。
