stoney conductor: VM States

Naming of VM states (the second state is only needed for special cases).

Virtual Machines

Naming of VM states (the second state is only needed for special cases), valid for VMs:

No.	Status	Run Action				Action					Explanation
		Start	Shutdown	Power off	Migrate	Edit	Delete	Use	Users	Groups
1	Stopped	x			x	x	x		x	x
1	Stopped, streaming [5.1 %]										technically paused
1	Stopped, backing up
1	Stopped, backing up

• Stopped, backing up
• Stopped, migrating (same state for the vm being migrated to a node and away from a node)
• Starting (technically changing state from stopped to running)
• Starting, streaming [5.1 %] (technically changing state from paused to running)
• Paused, backing up (technically migrating to file)
• Paused, migrating (the vm is being migrated to this node)
• Running
• Running, backing up (technically merging, retaining, streaming)
• Running, streaming [5.1 %]
• Running, migrating (the vm is being migrated away from this node)
• Shutting down
• Powering off
• Deleting

Possible future states:

• Crashed (when vm should be running, but there isn't a QEMU process around)
• Frozen or Non responding (requires QEMU guest agent or a watch dog)

Future editing:

• Certain values like disk, cpu and memory will be able to be changed, even if the vm is running.

VM Templates

Naming of VM states (the second state is only needed for special cases), valid for VM Templates:

• Stopped
• Stopped, streaming (after clicking "+" a list of all the vms (sstDisplayName) should appear with [5.1 %])
• Stopped, backing up
• Stopped, migrating (same state for the vm being migrated to a node and away from a node)
• Starting (technically changing state from stopped to running)
• Paused, backing up (technically migrating to file)
• Paused, migrating (the vm is being migrated to this node)
• Running
• Running, backing up (technically merging, retaining, streaming)
• Running, migrating (the vm is being migrated away from this node)
• Shutting down
• Powering off
• Deleting
• Do not use (if sstVirtualMachineMode does not exist)
• Running, maintenance mode (if sstVirtualMachineMode is set to maintenance mode)
• Stopped, maintenance mode (if sstVirtualMachineMode is set to maintenance mode)
• Running, first installation (if sstVirtualMachineMode is set to first installation)
• Stopped, first installation (if sstVirtualMachineMode is set to first installation)

No.	Status	Run Action				Action						Explanation
		start	shutdown	destroy	migrate	edit	delete	toggle	use	persistent	dynamic
1	Stopped	x			x	x	x	x		x	x	.....

Notes

Naming of VM states (the second state is only needed for special cases), valid for VM Templates and VMs:

• starting
• running
• shutting down
• destroying
• running, backing up
• stopped, backing up

VMs:

• running, streaming [5.1 %]
• stopped, streaming [5.1 %]

VM Templates:

• stopped, streaming (without the percent status)
• do not use (if sstVirtualMachineMode does not exist)
• running, maintenance mode (if sstVirtualMachineMode is set to maintenance mode)
• stopped, maintenance mode (if sstVirtualMachineMode is set to maintenance mode)
• running, first installation (if sstVirtualMachineMode is set to first installation)
• stopped, first installation (if sstVirtualMachineMode is set to first installation)

Tool-Tips:

• "stopped, streaming (without the percent status)": Show streaming information with vm-name(s) and percent status.
