OpenStack 创建快照(Create Snapshot)过程源码分析

1. 背景：  
一直以为OpenStack的创建快照的操作是在线创建快照（live snapshot）, 并且应该是增量的快照，即利用virsh或者qemu的live snapshot来实现的：  
 virsh snapshot-create-as --live ....  
后来发现快照和原始镜像之间并没有依赖关系，感觉OpenStack还做的挺好的，自动解决了增量快照和原始镜像之间的依赖关系;  
但是后来又发现做快照的时候虚拟机竟然会shutoff, 就感觉不对了，于是分析了下源码。  
  
2. 结论：目前OpenStack默认的快照方式都是cold snapshot, 首先先关机，其次执行如下命令生成一个镜像文件，再次开机，最后再调用glance api将镜像上传。  
 qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 <disk\_path> <out\_path>  
所以目前并不是真正意义的快照，其实和关闭虚拟机，拷贝一份，再上传没有本质区别。

3. 源代码流程分析

3.1 nova/compute/api.py

            # intended to prevent accidental change/delete of instances

            @check_instance_cell
            @check_instance_state(vm_state=[vm_states.ACTIVE, vm_states.STOPPED,
                                            vm_states.PAUSED, vm_states.SUSPENDED])
            def snapshot(self, context, instance, name, extra_properties=None):

                """
               #调用glance api创建image entry，为后将snapshot上传为镜像做准备，虽然镜像和snapshot在可以上传到glance作为镜像启动虚拟机，
               #但是为了区分二者的不同，glance将镜像和snapshot标记卫不同的类型：type=image 和 type=snapshot
                image_meta = self._create_image(context, instance, name,
                                                'snapshot',
                                                extra_properties=extra_properties)

                # to the snapshot_instance() method in nova/cells/messaging.py

    3.2 nova/compute/rpcapi.py
    
        #梳理下流程： （1）用户发起create snapshot的请求; （2）nova-api服务接收到这个请求并进行前期处理，即3.1中代码的处理流程;
                                    （3）真正的snapshot操作是需要在nova-compute节点上执行的，所以nova-api需要向nova-compute发送message
