sdc-net-agent

This repository is part of the Joyent Triton project. See the contribution guidelines and general documentation at the main Triton project page.

The SDC Networking agent is a library for keeping track of per VM NIC changes on a Triton data center. There is one Networking agent installed per Compute Node. NIC changes trigger updates on NAPI so data is persisted.

Development

Typically sdc-net-agent development is done by:

• making edits to a clone of sdc-net-agent.git on a Mac (likely Linux too, but that's untested) or a SmartOS development zone,

    git clone git@github.com:joyent/sdc-net-agent.git
    cd sdc-net-agent
    git submodule update --init   # not necessary first time
    vi
  

• building:

    make all
    make check
  

• syncing changes to a running SDC (typically a COAL running locally in VMWare) via: ./tools/rsync-to coal

• then testing changes in that SDC (e.g. COAL). See "Testing" below for running the test suite.

Testing

At the moment, sdc-net-agent testing is done by running the VMAPI test suite. SSH into a running SDC and run the following commands:

touch /lib/sdc/.sdc-test-no-production-data
/zones/`vmadm lookup -1 alias=vmapi0`/root/opt/smartdc/vmapi/test/runtests

The net-agent SMF service log can be inspected while running the VMAPI tests by calling:

tail -f `svcs -L net-agent` | bunyan
