Hi, This is the info I have from Mice from sometime last year, not sure if it is relevant. Sadly, I am unable to attach the original HTML message, I will forward it off the list to you ==================
1) When a VM is created, the root volume and data volume are just single node in storage 2) After take a Disk Snapshot, leaf nodes are created as current volume (this is vmware case), their parents nodes are not active and are a part of snapshots. Two usage events are generated, since there are two volumes for this VM. Usage event: VMSnapshot, volumeId:root; vmid: xxxx; size: sizeOf(Root) VMSnapshot, VolumeId:data; vmid:xxxx; size: sizeOf(Data) 3) After take a DiskMemory Snapshot: Two usage events are generated,. Usage event: VMSnapshot, volumeId:root; vmid: xxxx; size: sizeOf(Root) + sizeOf(ROOT-00001) + sizeOf(memoryImage) VMSnapshot, VolumeId:data; vmid:xxxx; size: sizeOf(Data) + sizeOf(Data-00001) Please note the size in usage event is CURRENT chain size of a volume. =================== On 4/25/14 1:11 PM, "Mike Tutkowski" <mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com> wrote: >Hi, > >I logged a JIRA ticket with regards to how we calculate >vm_snapshot_chain_size in the volumes table (with regards to VMware). > >https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6514 > >If someone out there with a bunch of VMware experience could take a look >at >that ticket and comment on whether or not this is a problem, that would be >great. > >Thanks! > >-- >*Mike Tutkowski* >*Senior CloudStack Developer, SolidFire Inc.* >e: mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com >o: 303.746.7302 >Advancing the way the world uses the >cloud<http://solidfire.com/solution/overview/?video=play> >*(tm)*
