What is the current framework used to test a Cloudstack Virtual Router (SystemVM) in isolation aka without Management Server if any?
AFAIK we don't have any such testing/automation framework within Apache CloudStack.
I'd like to call a SystemVM script with a set of configuration parameters (changes for VPCVrr, etc.) and observe the changes to the virtual routers configuration. Since I will eventually need the ethernet connections to be added and deleted I would like to aviod using ethernet to make the connection to the SystemVM image. Ideally I don't want to change the SystemVM image from what is build by tools/appliance/build.sh.
The SystemVM image and the agent is tightly coupled with CloudStack, you may have to change things in the build script (if you intend to add/remove/modify packages, files and contents).
How was this testing done in the past?
In the past, I would create a systemvm template, have CloudStack management to use it to boot up SSVMs, VRs etc. and ssh into them from their respective hosts on their link local IP. Then, I would change the internal state of the VM and check with management server to test things and see if it would fix the state itself, execute platform apis etc. There is/was no automation framework to do the testing so it was mostly manually. Any work in this regard would be great. Regards.
Thanks, Karl
