[ovirt-devel] [proposal] deprecate VDSM ping in favor of ping2 and confirmConnectivity

Hello, current VDSM ping verb has a problem - it confirms network connectivity as a side-effect. After Engine calls setupNetwork it pings VDSM host to confirm that external network connectivity is not broken. This prohibits other users to call ping from localhost since it would confirm connectivity even though networking could be broken. In order to fix this problem ping should be split to ping2 (which just returns Success with no side-effect) and confirmConnectivity. Change on VDSM side was introduced in [1], we still need to expose new verbs in Engine. Regards, Petr [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/80119/
