Ubuntu Manpage: ganeti-kvmd - Ganeti KVM daemon

Name

       ganeti-kvmd - Ganeti KVM daemon

Synopsis

       ganeti-kvmd

DESCRIPTION

       The  KVM  daemon  is  responsible  for  determining  whether  a  given  KVM  instance  was shutdown by an
       administrator or a user.

       The KVM daemon monitors, using inotify, KVM instances through their QMP sockets, which  are  provided  by
       KVM.   Using  the QMP sockets, the KVM daemon listens for particular shutdown, powerdown, and stop events
       which will determine if a given instance was  shutdown  by  the  user  or  Ganeti,  and  this  result  is
       communicated to Ganeti via a special file in the filesystem.

FILES

       The  KVM  daemon  monitors  Qmp sockets of KVM instances, which are created in the KVM control directory,
       located under /var/run/ganeti/kvm-hypervisor/ctrl/.  The KVM daemon also creates shutdown files  in  this
       directory.  Finally, the KVM daemon's log file is located under /var/log/ganeti/ganeti-kvmd.log.  Removal
       of  the  KVM  control  directory,  the shutdown files, or the log file, will lead to no errors on the KVM
       daemon.
