.Nd Hyper-V Key Value Pair Daemon
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon provides the ability to store, retrieve, modify and delete
|
|
Key Value pairs for
|
|
.Fx
|
|
guest partitions running on Hyper-V.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Hyper-V allows administrators to store custom metadata in the form
|
|
of Key Value pairs inside the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
guest partition.
|
|
Administrators can
|
|
use Windows Powershell scripts to add, read, modify and delete such
|
|
Key Value pairs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
accepts Key Value pair management requests from the
|
|
.Xr hv_utils 4
|
|
driver and performs the actual metadata management on the file-system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The same daemon and driver combination is also used to set and get
|
|
IP addresses from a
|
|
.Fx
|
|
guest.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The set functionality is particularly
|
|
useful when the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
guest is assigned a static IP address and is failed
|
|
over from one Hyper-V host to another.
|
|
After failover, Hyper-V uses the set IP
|
|
functionality to automatically
|
|
update the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
guest's IP address to its original static value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On the other hand, the get IP functionality is used to update the guest IP
|
|
address in the Hyper-V management console window.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Run as regular process instead of a daemon for debugging purpose.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Generate debugging output.
