  • The new hypervisor type is internally named 'Custom' to the CloudStack services (management server and agent services, database records).
  • A new global setting ‘hypervisor.custom.display.name’ allows administrators to set the display name of the hypervisor type. The display name will be shown in the CloudStack UI and API.
    • In case the ‘hypervisor.list’ setting contains the display name of the new hypervisor type, the setting value is automatically updated after the ‘hypervisor.custom.display.name’ setting is updated.
  • The new Custom hypervisor type supports:
    • Direct downloads (the ability to download templates into primary storage from the hypervisor hosts without using secondary storage)
    • Local storage (use hypervisor hosts local storage as primary storage)
    • Template format: RAW format (the templates to be registered on the new hypervisor type must be in RAW format)
  • The UI is also extended to display the new hypervisor type and the supported features listed above.
  • The above are the minimal changes for CloudStack to support the new hypervisor type, which can be tested by integrating the plugin codebase with this feature.
