# Calculating a proposal from a profile | ||
|
||
The Agama proposal can be calculated either from a very detailed JSON profile or from a "sparse | ||
profile". The information not provided by the profile is automatically inferred (solved) by Agama. | ||
Several layers are involved in the process of obtaining the final storage config used by the Agama | ||
proposal, as shown in the following diagram: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
JSON profile ------------> JSON profile (solved) ------------> Storage::Config ------------> Storage::Config (solved) | ||
| | | | ||
(JSON solver) (config conversion) (config solver) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## JSON solver | ||
|
||
The JSON profile provides the *generator* concept. A *generator* allows indicating what volumes to | ||
create without explicitly defining them. The JSON solver (`Agama::Storage::JSONConfigSolver` class) | ||
takes care of replacing the volume generator by the corresponding JSON volumes according to the | ||
product. | ||
|
||
For example, a JSON profile like this: | ||
|
||
~~~json | ||
{ | ||
"drives": [ | ||
{ | ||
"partitions": [ { "generate": "default" } ] | ||
} | ||
] | ||
} | ||
~~~ | ||
|
||
would be solved to something like: | ||
|
||
~~~json | ||
{ | ||
"drives": [ | ||
{ | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ "filesystem": { "path": "/" } }, | ||
{ "filesystem": { "path": "swap" } } | ||
] | ||
} | ||
] | ||
} | ||
~~~ | ||
|
||
The volumes are solved with their very minimum information (i.e., a mount path). The resulting | ||
solved JSON is used for getting the storage config object. | ||
|
||
## Config conversion | ||
|
||
The class `Agama::Storage::ConfigConversions::FromJSON` takes a solved JSON profile and generates a | ||
`Agama::Storage::Config` object. The resulting config only contains the information provided by the | ||
profile. For example, if the profile does not specify a file system type for a partition, then the | ||
config would not have any information about the file system to use for such a partition. | ||
|
||
If something is not provided by the profile (e.g., "boot", "size", "filesystem"), then the config | ||
marks that values as default ones. For example: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
{ | ||
"drives": [ | ||
{ | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ "filesystem": { "path": "/" } } | ||
] | ||
} | ||
] | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
generates a config with these default values: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
config.boot.device.default? #=> true | ||
|
||
partition = config.drives.first.partitions.first | ||
partition.size.default? #=> true | ||
partition.filesystem.type.default? #=> true | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The configs set as default and any other missing value have to be solved to a value provided by the | ||
product definition. | ||
|
||
## Config solver | ||
|
||
The config solver (`Agama::Storage::ConfigSolver` class) assigns a value to all the unknown | ||
properties of a config object. As result, the config object is totally complete and ready to be used | ||
by the agama proposal. | ||
|
||
### How sizes are solved | ||
|
||
A volume size in the profile: | ||
|
||
* Can be totally omitted. | ||
* Can omit the max size. | ||
* Can use "current" as value for min and/or max. | ||
|
||
Let's see each case. | ||
|
||
#### Omitting size completely | ||
|
||
```json | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ "filesystem": { "path": "/" } } | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In this case, the config conversion would generate something like: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
partition.size.default? #=> true | ||
partition.size.min #=> nil | ||
partition.size.max #=> nil | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If the size is default, then the config solver always assigns a value for `#min` and `#max` | ||
according to the product definition and ignoring the current values assigned to `#min` and `#max`. | ||
The solver takes into account the mount path, the fallback devices and swap config in order to set | ||
the proper sizes. | ||
|
||
If the size is default and the volume already exists, then the solver sets the current size of the | ||
volume to both `#min` and `#max` sizes. | ||
|
||
#### Omitting the max size | ||
|
||
```json | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ | ||
"size": { "min": "10 GiB" }, | ||
"filesystem": { "path": "/" } | ||
} | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The config conversion generates: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
partition.size.default? #=> false | ||
partition.size.min #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.GiB(10) | ||
partition.size.max #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.Unlimited | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Note that `#max` is set to unlimited when it does not appear in the profile. In this case, nothing | ||
has to be solved because both `#min` and `#max` have a value. | ||
|
||
#### Using "current" | ||
|
||
Both *min* and *max* sizes admit "current" as a valid size value in the JSON profile. The "current" | ||
value stands for the current size of the volume. Using "current" is useful for growing or shrinking | ||
a device. | ||
|
||
The config conversion knows nothing about the current size of a volume, so it simply replaces | ||
"current" values by `nil`. | ||
|
||
For example, in this case: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ | ||
"search": "/dev/vda1", | ||
"size": { "min": "current" }, | ||
"filesystem": { "path": "/" } | ||
} | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
the config conversion generates a size with `nil` for `#min`: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
partition.size.default? #=> false | ||
partition.size.min #=> nil | ||
partition.size.max #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.Unlimited | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The config solver replaces the `nil` sizes by the device size. In the example before, let's say that | ||
/dev/vda1 has 10 GiB, so the resulting config would be: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
partition.size.default? #=> false | ||
partition.size.min #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.GiB(10) | ||
partition.size.max #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.Unlimited | ||
``` | ||
|
||
##### Use case: growing a device | ||
|
||
```json | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ | ||
"search": "/dev/vda1", | ||
"size": { "min": "current" }, | ||
"filesystem": { "path": "/" } | ||
} | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
partition.size.default? #=> false | ||
partition.size.min #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.GiB(10) | ||
partition.size.max #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.Unlimited | ||
``` | ||
|
||
##### Use case: shrinking a device | ||
|
||
```json | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ | ||
"search": "/dev/vda1", | ||
"size": { "min": 0, "max": "current" }, | ||
"filesystem": { "path": "/" } | ||
} | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
partition.size.default? #=> false | ||
partition.size.min #=> 0 | ||
partition.size.max #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.GiB(10) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
##### Use case: keeping a device size | ||
|
||
Note that this is equivalent to omitting the size. | ||
|
||
```json | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ | ||
"search": "/dev/vda1", | ||
"size": { "min": "current", "max": "current" }, | ||
"filesystem": { "path": "/" } | ||
} | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
partition.size.default? #=> false | ||
partition.size.min #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.GiB(10) | ||
partition.size.max #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.GiB(10) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
##### Use case: fallback for not found devices | ||
|
||
A profile can specify an "advanced search" to indicate that a volume has to be created if it is not | ||
found in the system. | ||
|
||
```json | ||
"partitions": [ | ||
{ | ||
"search": { | ||
"condition": { "name": "/dev/vda1" }, | ||
"ifNotFound": "create" | ||
}, | ||
"size": { "min": "current" }, | ||
"filesystem": { "path": "/" } | ||
} | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If the device does not exist, then "current" cannot be replaced by any device size. In this case, | ||
the config solver uses the default size defined by the product as fallback for "current". | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
partition.size.default? #=> false | ||
partition.size.min #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.GiB(15) | ||
partition.size.max #=> Y2Storage::DiskSize.Unlimited | ||
``` |
