| ganeti-kvmd - Ganeti KVM daemon |
| |
| Synopsis |
| -------- |
| |
| **ganeti-kvmd** |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| The KVM daemon is responsible for determining whether a given KVM |
| instance was shutdown by an administrator or a user. |
| |
| The KVM daemon monitors, using ``inotify``, KVM instances through |
| their QMP sockets, which are provided by KVM. Using the QMP sockets, |
| the KVM daemon listens for particular shutdown, powerdown, and stop |
| events which will determine if a given instance was shutdown by the |
| user or Ganeti, and this result is communicated to Ganeti via a |
| special file in the filesystem. |
| |
| FILES |
| ----- |
| |
| The KVM daemon monitors Qmp sockets of KVM instances, which are created |
| in the KVM control directory, located under |
| ``@LOCALSTATEDIR@/run/ganeti/kvm-hypervisor/ctrl/``. The KVM daemon |
| also creates shutdown files in this directory. Finally, the KVM |
| daemon's log file is located under |
| ``@LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/ganeti/ganeti-kvmd.log``. Removal of the KVM |
| control directory, the shutdown files, or the log file, will lead to no |
| errors on the KVM daemon. |
