Hi,
I haven't found this info elsewhere, hence asking here.
1) What is the procedure to restart vdsm on the host ? Do i need to
put host in maint. mode
and then manually kill vdsm and supervdsm parent process or use
pkill to kill
all the numerous vdsm processes ?
ovirt Engine should survive a `service vdsmd restart` without special
preparation. However, moving the host to Maintenance would avoid some
pitfalls.
2) I don't have a git repo on the vdsm host, so if i have made
changes to vdsm (in my devpt env),
can i just create a tarball and copy it to the host
(/usr/share/vdsm/vdsm) and restart vdsm for
my changes to take effect ?
In some cases this would not be enough (there are .in files, and files
copied not under /usr/share/vdsm).
Either copy your specific files and restart vdsm, or reinstall an RPM
with everything.
