Datastore support for NVRAM volumes

Open rsmontero opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Description NVRAM is a storage medium used to persist UEFI variables. These variables are used by the OS to store different configuration attributes.

In general, this information can be associated to a guest and it should be able to offer the same persistence attributes of disk images.

This issue is to integrate NVRAM creation and management into the storage subsystem either:

  • Using a special DISK
  • Using the Files & Kernels datastore

Use case Persist changes to NVRAM variables when a VM is terminated.

Interface Changes This will require new template attributes, Sunstone options to select existing NVRAM variables, and Datastore/Image template changes.

Additional Context Created from conversation in issue #2481
