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.
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 [email protected]: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.
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
