vm-install-jobs
vm-install-jobs(8) System Manager's Manual vm-install-jobs(8)
NAME
vm-install-jobs - queries and manages VM creation jobs that were started by vm-install
SYNOPSIS
vm-install-jobs [options ...]
DESCRIPTION
VMs may be created by vm-install interactively, or as backgrounded jobs. The vm-install-jobs command manages backgrounded VM creation
jobs.
OPTIONS
--cancel job-id
Cancels the specified job. If the VM is still running, it is stopped. This command may return before the VM is completely stopped
or the vm-install process has completely exited. The job is not implicitly deleted, so that the cancelation progress may be
observed.
--delete job-id
Deletes the specified job. The job must be in one of the FINISHED, FAILED, or CANCELED states. The VM's configuration is deleted,
as are any disks that were created during the job.
--detach job-id
Detaches the created VM from the specified job. The job must be in the FINISHED state. The job is deleted, but the VM's configura-
tion and its disks are left intact.
--list Lists all known VM creation jobs, by ID. One job ID is output per line.
--status job-id
Outputs the status of the specified job.
JOB STATES
Every job is always in one of the following states:
0: SETTINGS
1: PREP_INSTALL
2: INSTALL
3: POST_INSTALL
4: RUNTIME_CONF
5: RUNTIME
6: FINISHED
7: FAILED
8: CANCELED
The normal progression is from state 0 to state 6. States 6, 7, and 8 are terminal states.
JOB STATUS
Querying the job status will print (to stdout) a number of key/value pairs. The possible keys and their meanings are:
exit The exit code of the VM creation job. This key is only present once the job is in one of the states FINISHED, FAILED, or CANCELED.
To interpret the meaning of the exit code, see vm-install(8)
id The job ID. Always present.
inotify
A filename to monitor (via inotify(7) ) for state changes. The recommended inotify mask to use is IN_CLOSE_WRITE. Always present.
log The location of the log file. Always present.
pid The process ID of the VM creation job. This key is only present if the VM creation process is still running. The PID is used
internally to cancel the job.
state The job's current state. See JOB STATES. Always present.
uuid The VM's UUID. This key is only present once all of the VM's settings have been gathered.
vnc The last known location to view the VM's console via VNC. Note that the presence of this key does not guarantee that the VM is cur-
rently running. When no authentication is necessary, the URL will be ip::port. If authentication is necessary, the URL will be
username:password@ip::port.
DIAGNOSTICS
A zero exit code indicates success; non-zero indicates failure.
Note that the exit code of this tool indicates the success of the job management command. It does not represent the success or failure of
the job itself.
SEE ALSO
To interpret the exit code of a job or of this command, see vm-install(8)
To monitor state changes of jobs, see inotify(7)
