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>, lvm_conf=None, suppress_fd_warn=False)¶

Bases: 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(name, source_lv_name, lv_type='default')¶

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(name)¶

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:

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

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

static get_lvm_version(root_helper)¶

Static method to get LVM version from system.

Parameters:

Returns:

dict representation of Logical Volume if exists

get_volumes(lv_name=None)¶

Get all LV’s associated with this instantiation (VG).

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.
