Node Resource Consolidation Strategy¶
Requirements¶
None.
Metrics¶
None
Actions¶
Default Watcher’s actions:
action
description
migration
Migrates a server to a destination nova-compute host
This action will allow you to migrate a server to another compute destination host. Migration type ‘live’ can only be used for migrating active VMs. Migration type ‘cold’ can be used for migrating non-active VMs as well active VMs, which will be shut down while migrating.
The action schema is:
schema = Schema({ 'resource_id': str, # should be a UUID 'migration_type': str, # choices -> "live", "cold" 'destination_node': str, 'source_node': str, })The resource_id is the UUID of the server to migrate. The source_node and destination_node parameters are respectively the source and the destination compute hostname (list of available compute hosts is returned by this command:
nova service-list --binary nova-compute
).Note
Nova API version must be 2.56 or above if destination_node parameter is given.
change_nova_service_state
Planner¶
Default Watcher’s planner:
Weight planner implementation
This implementation builds actions with parents in accordance with weights. Set of actions having a higher weight will be scheduled before the other ones. There are two config options to configure: action_weights and parallelization.
Limitations
This planner requires to have action_weights and parallelization configs tuned well.
Configuration¶
Strategy parameters are:
parameter |
type |
default Value description |
---|---|---|
|
String |
The way to select the server migration destination node, The value auto means that Nova schedular selects the destination node, and specify means the strategy specifies the destination. |
Efficacy Indicator¶
None
