Snapshot mirrors should normally be promoted using "mirror promote", and
not started manually. This adds guard rails against that to the "start",
"stop", and "disable" state commands to prevent changing mirror states
without an explicit "--force" option.
Adds two helper commands which automate sending and promoting VM
snapshots as "vm mirror" commands.
"vm mirror create" replicates the functionality of "snapshot create" and
"snapshot send", performing both in one single task using an
autogenerated dated snapshot name for automatic cross-cluster
replication.
"vm mirror promote" replicates the functionality of "vm shutdown",
"snapshot create", "snapshot send", "vm start" (remote), and,
optionally, "vm remove", performing in one single task an entire
cross-cluster VM move with or without retaining the copy on the local
cluster (if retained, the local copy becomes a snapshot mirror of the
remote, flipping their statuses).
A rename is simply a change to two values, so instead of undefining and
re-defining the VM, just edit those two fields. This ensures things like
snapshots are preserved automatically.
Adds a new flag to VM metadata to allow setting the VM live migration
max downtime. This will enable very busy VMs that hang live migration to
have this value changed.
Major improvements to autobackup and backups, including additional
information/fields in the backup JSON itself, improved error handling,
and the ability to email reports of autobackups using a local sendmail
utility.
Adds additional information about failures, runtime, file sizes, etc. to
the JSON output of a VM backup.
This helps enable additional reporting and summary information for
autobackup runs.
