The cinder.brick.local_dev.lvm Module

LVM class for performing LVM operations.

class LVM(vg_name, root_helper, create_vg=False, physical_volumes=None, lvm_type='default', executor=<function execute at 0x7f28011bf5f0>, lvm_conf=None, suppress_fd_warn=False)

Bases: os_brick.executor.Executor

LVM object to enable various LVM related operations.

LVM_CMD_PREFIX = ['env', 'LC_ALL=C']

activate_lv(name, is_snapshot=False, permanent=False)

Ensure that logical volume/snapshot logical volume is activated.

Parameters:

• name – Name of LV to activate
• is_snapshot – whether LV is a snapshot
• permanent – whether we should drop skipactivation flag

Raises:

putils.ProcessExecutionError

create_lv_snapshot(*args, **kwargs)

Creates a snapshot of a logical volume.

Parameters:

• name – Name to assign to new snapshot
• source_lv_name – Name of Logical Volume to snapshot
• lv_type – Type of LV (default or thin)

create_thin_pool(name=None, size_str=None)

Creates a thin provisioning pool for this VG.

The syntax here is slightly different than the default lvcreate -T, so we’ll just write a custom cmd here and do it.

Parameters:

• name – Name to use for pool, default is “<vg-name>-pool”
• size_str – Size to allocate for pool, default is entire VG

Returns:

The size string passed to the lvcreate command

create_volume(name, size_str, lv_type='default', mirror_count=0)

Creates a logical volume on the object’s VG.

Parameters:

• name – Name to use when creating Logical Volume
• size_str – Size to use when creating Logical Volume
• lv_type – Type of Volume (default or thin)
• mirror_count – Use LVM mirroring with specified count

deactivate_lv(name)

delete(*args, **kwargs)

Delete logical volume or snapshot.

Parameters:name – Name of LV to delete

extend_volume(lv_name, new_size)

Extend the size of an existing volume.

static get_all_physical_volumes(root_helper, vg_name=None)

Static method to get all PVs on a system.

Parameters:

• root_helper – root_helper to use for execute
• vg_name – optional, gathers info for only the specified VG

Returns:

List of Dictionaries with PV info

static get_all_volume_groups(root_helper, vg_name=None)

Static method to get all VGs on a system.

Parameters:

• root_helper – root_helper to use for execute

List of Dictionaries with VG info

static get_lv_info(root_helper, vg_name=None, lv_name=None)

Retrieve info about LVs (all, in a VG, or a single LV).

Parameters:

• root_helper – root_helper to use for execute
• vg_name – optional, gathers info for only the specified VG
• lv_name – optional, gathers info for only the specified LV

Returns:

List of Dictionaries with LV info

Returns:List of Dictionaries with LV info

lv_get_origin(name)

Return the origin of an LV that is a snapshot, None otherwise.

lv_has_snapshot(name)

lv_is_open(name)

Return True if LV is currently open, False otherwise.

lv_is_snapshot(name)

Return True if LV is a snapshot, False otherwise.

rename_volume(lv_name, new_name)
