1. A snapshot() method to the compute API
2. Snapshot to the compute drivers(), stubs for libvirt and fake, and an implementation for xenapi_conn.
3. A `glance` XenServer plugin (modeled after the current `objectstore` plugin).
To test functionally you will need to be running both the Glance API and the Glance Registry.
In order to use the cloudservers tool-chain (cloudservers command-line utility, openstack-api, etc), you will need create a project called 'openstack' or override FLAGS.default_project.
You can verify that snapshots work by using the cloudservers command-line utility to run:
cloudservers image-create <instance-id> <my snapshot name>
The utility itself will generate an exception since we're not returning the appropriate metadata yet (that will be a future commit); however, you can confirm that the snapshot worked by checking the compute-service logs, and verifying the snapshot resides in the glance fs-store directory.
The Choose Your Own Adventure README for Nova: You have come across a cloud computing fabric controller. It has identified itself as "Nova." It is apparent that it maintains compatability with the popular Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs. To monitor it from a distance: follow @novacc on twitter To tame it for use in your own cloud: read http://nova.openstack.org/getting.started.html To study its anatomy: read http://nova.openstack.org/architecture.html To disect it in detail: visit http://code.launchpad.net/nova To taunt it with its weaknesses: use http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova To watch it: http://hudson.openstack.org To hack at it: read HACKING To laugh at its PEP8 problems: http://hudson.openstack.org/job/nova-pep8/violations To cry over its pylint problems: http://hudson.openstack.org/job/nova-pylint/violations
