This method is called when nova-compute launches, and as part of a periodic task that records the results in the DB.

Return snapshot of console.

get_console_pool_info(console_type)

Returns the result of calling “uptime” on the target host.

get_info(instance)

Return data about VM instance.

get_instance_diagnostics(instance)

Return data about VM diagnostics.

get_instance_disk_info(instance, block_device_info=None)

Used by libvirt for live migration. We rely on xenapi checks to do this for us.

Returns:dict of nova uuid => dict of usage info

get_vnc_console(context, instance)

Return link to instance’s VNC console.

get_volume_connector(instance)

host_maintenance_mode(host, mode)

Start/Stop host maintenance window. On start, it triggers guest VMs evacuation.

host_power_action(action)

The only valid values for ‘action’ on XenServer are ‘reboot’ or ‘shutdown’, even though the API also accepts ‘startup’. As this is not technically possible on XenServer, since the host is the same physical machine as the hypervisor, if this is requested, we need to raise an exception.

host_state

init_host(host)

inject_file(instance, b64_path, b64_contents)

Create a file on the VM instance. The file path and contents should be base64-encoded.

inject_network_info(instance, nw_info)

inject network info for specified instance.

instance_exists(instance)

Checks existence of an instance on the host.

Parameters:instance – The instance to lookup

Returns True if supplied instance exists on the host, False otherwise.

NOTE(belliott): This is an override of the base method for efficiency.

list_instance_uuids()

Get the list of nova instance uuids for VMs found on the hypervisor.

list_instances()

List VM instances.
