[Engine-devel] watchdog

Hi, A new version of the watchdög feature is available in gerrit: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/13057 - db http://gerrit.ovirt.org/13058 - bll http://gerrit.ovirt.org/13059 - frontend http://gerrit.ovirt.org/13060 - rest http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Watchdog_engine_support Since the last update the patchset has gone through major changes to meet the new architectureal and functional requirements. Also because of the rewrite this is again a preview version under testing with some missing functionality, therefore I re-introduced the [wip] flag on it. Thx, Laszlo

just a thought after looking at the feature page having different HA dialog for server/desktop - I'd consider removing the distinction between desktop and server in the GUI wrt HA (i.e., just both have same set of options) (not blocking for this patch)

Hi, Isnt someone already working on removing the UI distinction between server and desktop? However the desktop/server distinction could be useful for scheduling information, I hope that will remain. ----- Original Message -----

There will be a combo box: "optimized for server/desktop". That one will set up the dialog like you would open the new server/desktop today. But you will be able to change them - it will be just some sugar. But there is no reason why would we enforce the disabling the e.g. soundcard for server. By default we will, but you can enable it if you want.

Ok, so in engine we will still have the VmType in vmStatic? I think it would make sense to use it in scheduling / load balancing - if a VM is a desktop and no user is connected to the console, then the VM is not in use, therefore it is a good candidate for saving power (hibernate, migrate, shutdown, or any other bad things that can happen to a VM) - if a VM is a server, usually no user connected, but it may still be used through its network. Therefore it may not be a good candidate to migrate.

is this indeed a valid assumption ("if VM is a server..." ) that a user will less connect to it?

I'd actually like to lose the distinction between server and desktop other than a set of optimizations. i.e., if there is an optimization you want to make based on console being connected, model that and ask for that specifically (maybe I use desktop differently than you think)

Hi, It is not really an optimization based only on console connection. In my opinion this should be a decision factor when determining which VM to migrate from an overloaded host. If it is a desktop and no console connection, then it is better candidate than a desktop with console connection or a server with or without console connection. Basically this logic would just want to minimize the pain caused by the short lag when a VM is live migrated. Can I assume that a Desktop is only used when a console is connected? ----- Original Message -----

Ok, so in engine we will still have the VmType in vmStatic?
I think it would make sense to use it in scheduling / load balancing - if a VM is a desktop and no user is connected to the console, then the VM is not in use, therefore it is a good candidate for saving power (hibernate, migrate, shutdown, or any other bad things that can happen to a VM) - if a VM is a server, usually no user connected, but it may still be used through its network. Therefore it may not be a good candidate to migrate.
is this indeed a valid assumption ("if VM is a server..." ) that a user will less connect to it?

connected by spice? by vnc to host or to guest? by rdp? by remote debugging to it from a remote machine, by someone developing on it with ssh, etc... i agree the general use case you are describing make sense, but i rather we model scheduling decisions directly if/where possible

Some parts of this thread are looking for perfection and on the way creating additional tasks and reviewing cycles that are only remotely related to the watchdog device; Yes, we should try and reduce the existing differentiation between desktop and a server. No, this feature is not about closing that gap. Watchdog device is about handling guest crash. I strongly suggest that merging desktop and server dialogues will be done as a different feature. The watchdog feature will take one step in the 'right' direction- adding the (currently missing) HA tab into the desktop dialog based on current design. Doron

1. it is a different task. 2. i'm suggesting you can drop the code doing that distinction for the watchdog in this patch.

No what I meant is that if the VM is a server { not having a console connection to it does not mean that it is not used.
Used is a more general term than "someone is connected to" - for example, you may have a machine running some internal calculation which takes a considerable amount of time, and you may have a user that performs ssh to that machine (let's say once in an hour) and runs some utility that reports the status of the calculation.
}
Therefore desktops on the same host with no console connection, they may be better candidates for migration. You can connect to servers.

IMHO if we want some new behavior/policy there should be a new corresponding property, not desktop/server. That can be quite misleading and I would rather see it go away. Other than use it as a set of default values

just a thought after looking at the feature page having different HA dialog for server/desktop - I'd consider removing the distinction between desktop and server in the GUI wrt HA (i.e., just both have same set of options)

Sure, let's call it something else, but this is a typical behavior expected from the desktop/server property. So what we are going to do is that remove the property and throw away all the related data, while when (if ever) we get the new property (behaveAsDesktop, notUsedWhenNotConnected, whatever we call it) the users of the system will set this property for the VM's that used to be desktops. We could save that work for the users. Also, it may appear to be an edge-case, but for a good scheduling in my opinion this is important.
