Sheepdog: Distributed Storage System for KVM
============================================

Overview
--------
Sheepdog is a distributed storage system for KVM/QEMU. It provides
highly available block level storage volumes to virtual machines. 
Sheepdog supports advanced volume management features such as snapshot,
cloning, and thin provisioning. The architecture of Sheepdog is fully
symmetric; there is no central node such as a meta-data server.
Sheepdog is an Open Source software, released under the terms of the
GNU General Public License version 2.

Requirements
------------
* Three or more x86-64 machines
* Corosync cluster engine

Install
-------
Please read the INSTALL file distributed with this package for detailed
instructions on installing or compiling from source.

Usage
-----
* Configure corosync.  Reference the corosync(8) and corosync.conf(5) man page
  for further details.

* Setup Sheepdog
   1. Launch sheepdog on each machines of the cluster.

      $ sheep /store_dir

      Notes:
        /store_dir is a directory to store objects. The directory must
        be on the filesystem with an xattr support. In case of ext3, you
        need to add 'user_xattr' to the mount options.

        $ sudo mount -o remount,user_xattr /store_device

   2. Make fs

      $ collie cluster format --copies=3

      --copies specifies the number of default data redundancy. In this case,
      the replicated data is stored on three machines.

   3. Check cluster state

      Following list shows that Sheepdog is running on 32 nodes.

      $ collie node list
        Idx	Node id (FNV-1a) - Host:Port

* Create a virtual machine image
   1. Create a 256 GB virtual machine image of Alice.

      $ qemu-img create sheepdog:Alice 256G

   2. You can also convert from existing KVM images to Sheepdog ones.

      $ qemu-img convert ~/amd64.raw sheepdog:Bob

   3. See Sheepdog images by the following command.

      $ collie vdi list
        name        id    size    used  shared    creation time  object id
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
        Bob          0  2.0 GB  1.6 GB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:16      80000
        Alice        0  256 GB  0.0 MB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:16      40000

* Boot the virtual machine
   1. Boot the virtual machine.

      $ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda sheepdog:Alice

   2. Following command checks used images.

      $ collie vm list
      Name            |Vdi size |Allocated| Shared  | Status
      ----------------+---------+---------+---------+------------
      Bob             |   2.0 GB|   1.6 GB|   0.0 MB| running on xx.xx.xx.xx
      Alice           |   256 GB|   0.0 MB|   0.0 MB| not running

* Snapshot
   1. Snapshot

      $ qemu-img snapshot -c name sheepdog:Alice

      -c flag is meaningless currently

   2. After getting snapshot, a new virtual machine images are added as a not-
      current image.

      $ collie vdi list
        name        id    size    used  shared    creation time  object id
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
        Bob          0  2.0 GB  1.6 GB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:16      80000
        Alice        0  256 GB  0.0 MB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:21      c0000
      s Alice        1  256 GB  0.0 MB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:16      40000

   3. You can boot from the snapshot image by spcifing tag id

      $ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda sheepdog:Alice:1

* Cloning from the snapshot
   1. Create a Charlie image as a clone of Alice's image.

      $ qemu-img create -b sheepdog:Alice:1 sheepdog:Charlie

   2. Charlie's image is added to the virtual machine list.

      $ collie vdi list
        name        id    size    used  shared    creation time  object id
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
        Bob          0  2.0 GB  1.6 GB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:16      80000
        Alice        0  256 GB  0.0 MB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:21      c0000
      s Alice        1  256 GB  0.0 MB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:16      40000
        Charlie      0  256 GB  0.0 MB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:23     100000

Hi everyone,

Sheepdog is a distributed storage system for KVM/QEMU. It provides
highly available block level storage volumes to VMs like Amazon EBS.
Sheepdog supports advanced volume management features such as snapshot,
cloning, and thin provisioning. Sheepdog runs on several tens or hundreds
of nodes, and the architecture is fully symmetric; there is no central
node such as a meta-data server.

The following list describes the features of Sheepdog.

    * Linear scalability in performance and capacity
    * No single point of failure
    * Redundant architecture (data is written to multiple nodes)
    - Tolerance against network failure
    * Zero configuration (newly added machines will join the cluster automatically)
    - Autonomous load balancing
    * Snapshot
    - Online snapshot from qemu-monitor
    * Clone from a snapshot volume
    * Thin provisioning
    - Amazon EBS API support (to use from a Eucalyptus instance)

(* = current features, - = on our todo list)

More details and download links are here:

http://www.osrg.net/sheepdog/

Note that the code is still in an early stage.
There are some critical TODO items:

    - VM image deletion support
    - Support architectures other than X86_64
    - Data recoverys
    - Free space management
    - Guarantee reliability and availability under heavy load
    - Performance improvement
    - Reclaim unused blocks
    - More documentation

We hope finding people interested in working together.
Enjoy!


Here are examples:

- create images

$ kvm-img create -f sheepdog "Alice's Disk" 256G
$ kvm-img create -f sheepdog "Bob's Disk" 256G

- list images

$ shepherd info -t vdi
   40000 : Alice's Disk  256 GB (allocated: 0 MB, shared: 0 MB), 2009-10-15
16:17:18, tag:        0, current
   80000 : Bob's Disk    256 GB (allocated: 0 MB, shared: 0 MB), 2009-10-15
16:29:20, tag:        0, current

- start up a virtual machine

$ kvm --drive format=sheepdog,file="Alice's Disk"

- create a snapshot

$ kvm-img snapshot -c name sheepdog:"Alice's Disk"

- clone from a snapshot

$ kvm-img create -b sheepdog:"Alice's Disk":0 -f sheepdog "Charlie's Disk"


Thanks.
