NAMEhv_vss —
Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Service API
SYNOPSIS#include
<dev/hyperv/hv_snapshot.h>
#define VSS_SUCCESS 0x00000000 #define VSS_FAIL 0x00000001 enum hv_vss_op_t { HV_VSS_NONE = 0, HV_VSS_CHECK, HV_VSS_FREEZE, HV_VSS_THAW, HV_VSS_COUNT }; struct hv_vss_opt_msg { uint32_t opt; /* operation */ uint32_t status; /* 0 for success, 1 for error */ uint64_t msgid; /* an ID used to identify the transaction */ uint8_t reserved[48]; /* reserved values are all zeroes */ }; DESCRIPTIONThe freeze or thaw functionality of application is important to guarantee the application consistent backup. On windows platform, VSS is defined to do live backup. But for VM guest running on Hyper-V, the corresponding VSS is not defined yet. For example, a running database server instance, it knows when the applications' freeze/thaw should start or finish. But it is not aware of the freeze/thaw notification from Hyper-V host. Thehv_vss is designed to notify application freeze/thaw
request. Thus, it plays a role of broker to forward the freeze/thaw command
from Hyper-V host to userland application if it registered VSS service on
FreeBSD VM, and sends the result back to Hyper-V host.
Generally,
hv_vss_daemon(8)
takes the responsibility to freeze/thaw UFS file system, and it is
automatically launched after system boots. When Hyper-V host wants to take a
snapshot of the FreeBSD VM, it will first send VSS
capability check to FreeBSD VM. The
After Hyper-V host confirmed the FreeBSD
VM supports VSS, it will send freeze request to VM, and
Hyper-V host will send thaw request after taking the snapshot,
typically, this period is very short in order not to block the running
application. All the default timeout limit used in VSS capability check, freeze or thaw is the same. It is 15 seconds currently. NOTEShv_vss only support UFS currently. If any of file system
partition is non UFS, the VSS capability check will fail. If application does
not register VSS, hv_vss only support backup for file
system level consistent. The device should be closed before it was opened
again. If you want to simultaneously open "/dev/hv_appvss_dev" two
or more times, an error (-1) will be returned, and errno was set.
If hv_vss_daemon(8) was killed after system boots, the VSS functionality will not work. EXAMPLESThe following is a complete example which does nothing except for waiting 2 seconds when receiving those notifications fromhv_vss
