OpenStack启动虚拟机、虚拟机做快照加速

虚拟机做快照加速：

 [root@controller-39 ~]# vim /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py
cfg.StrOpt('snapshots_directory',
               default='$instances_path/snapshots',
               help='Location where libvirt driver will store snapshots '
                    'before uploading them to image service'),
CONF = cfg.CONF
CONF.register_opts(libvirt_opts, 'libvirt')

# 可以看出nova.conf中可以配置虚拟机做快照(默认全量快照)，快照上传到glance之前的过渡目录(比如：配置在ssd盘上)。

启动虚拟机加速：

# openstack第一次启动虚拟机的时候会从glance拉镜像到本地(默认是$instances_path/_base)
# 第二次以同样的镜像启动虚拟机的时候就直接从$image_cache_directory_name/_base启动了
# 同样，如果base目录是ssd的话，启动虚拟机快是理所应当的。
# 下面的patch就是把虚拟机的base目录变成一个nova.conf的配置选项。
