RHEL6 New vSWAP System #389

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Reason: Because with the new kernels of RHEL6, they's a lot of improvement and 
changes of the use of VM & vzctl.

Description:
Just take a look at http://openvz.livejournal.com/

I think it's really important that's this mod should be developped in High 
Priority.

Thanks

based openvz.

I guess there should be some autodetection of vzctl version... To keep 
compatibility with systems where is no vSwap. Or maybe the configuration of 
containers will not interferre as SWAPSPACE will only show fake swap in 
containers on older hosts... I am not sure about memory... Maybe it remains 
same...

Anyway... this started to be real spliner in ass for me after upgrade as i 
can't let anybody to change memory using ovz-web-panel as it would screw up the 
vSwap settings... :(

A couple of helpful hints

(1) Hardware node supports vswap if /proc/vz/vswap file exists.
(2) CT config is considered vswap-enabled, if physpages.limit is NOT set to 
unlimited.
(3) Newer vzlist (as of today's git, will be available in vzctl-3.4) have a new 
vswap field which shows yes (CT config is vswap-enabled) or no (config is old 
fashioned UBC config) for a container.
(4) In vswap mode, one can still use other beancounters, they just become 
optional. The only non-optional ones are PHYSPAGES (aka --ram) and SWAPPAGES 
(aka --swap).

Hello,

I made a tiny patch to support modifying RAM setting on a vswap enabled VE
I started to put some SWAP support but it requires more work on the API part.

It now shows correctly the RAM assigned to the VE, in VE listing, and let you 
change it without messing up your vswap config.

-O.

Oliver: thx for your effort. I've tried your patch with OWP 2.1, but it seems 
to behave bit strange...

I've got following container:

# RAM
PHYSPAGES="0:512M"
# Swap
SWAPPAGES="0:1G"

And panel now says it's 2 MB Ram and unlimited swap...

(before patch it said that it's unlimited ram and did't known what swap is)

Awesome!!! Thank you very much :-)

There's only single thing that i like to change...
If i specify size (doesn't matter if swap, ram or disk) in config as eg.: 
5G:5.5G
Web panel shows it to mi in MB, but when i save it it's in Bytes which is quite 
annoying as it prevents humans from reading/editing the config manualy.

And this is why i think that your panel is the best of all OpenVZ panels - 
because i can decide if i want to use SSH or Web (so helpdesk staff can edit 
settings while i can still use native configuration in critical situations).
