Martin,
Thanks for your response.
I've understood why ovirt keep hosts resource reserved. Meanwhile, I totally agree
with you that CLI is better manner to do timeline based power saving policy.
Best regards
Set ‘HostInReserve’ to 0. Bingo, cloudstack03 goes down as expected.
But when I launch a new VM I get an error popup dialog which inform me
that there isn’t enough memory resource to start a new VM. Is it
normal way that power saving mechanism works? Can’t power saving policy scheduling module
wake up a host to launch VM automatically?
We decided against this. Booting a host can take a long time + there is some time before
our management agent reports in and we can't wait that long when starting a VM. That
is why we keep the empty host in reserve. That way the VM can be started immediately and
the additional host's boot time does not matter too much.
Also, Is there any timeline base power saving policy I can apply?
Like
from 8’clock AM to 6’clock PM, 10 hosts up, 6’clock PM to next 8’clock AM, just keep 3
hosts alive.
We do not have UI for this, but it is easily done using cron and REST API (either directly
or using some SDK).
We were even working on it for a while, but it was put on backburner since sysadmins know
cron well and the UI would have to be limited anyway.
Best regards

Hi Martin, Karli
Thank a lot for your help.
According to your instruction, I added two parameters into cluster configuration, as
below.
1) enable power cycling mechanisms
2) reserve one host standing by
My test bed:
3 hosts which are real servers, cloudstack01/cloudstack03/cloudstack04.
Heavy load on cloudstack01, 21 vms
Light load on cloudstack03, 1 vms
No thing on cloudstack04
When I shut down the last vm on cloudstack03(because I can’t migrate it to cloudstack01,
I guess the load is already exceeding the threshold), the cloudstack04 goes to
‘maintenance’ then goes to ‘down’ state. Yepp, POWER SAVING.
I tried further test:
Set ‘HostInReserve’ to 0. Bingo, cloudstack03 goes down as expected.
But when I launch a new VM I get an error popup dialog which inform me that there isn’t
enough memory resource to start a new VM. Is it normal way that power saving mechanism

主题: Re: [ovirt-users] How power-saving schedule policy applied?
Hi,
and here is a fresh screenshot just for you :)
You need to edit the cluster, select scheduling policy tab and add two parameters to your
Power saving policy. One enables the power cycling mechanisms and the second one
(HostsInReserve) controls how many empty hosts are allowed to stay up. When the host is
not empty anymore a new one will be started.
Best regards

Hi,
I’m wondering how to apply power-saving schedule in ovirt cluster(version is
4.2.0.2-1.el7.centos)? Is there any instruction or manual with UI snapshots guidance? That
will be appreciated.
I’ve configed all host with ipmilan protocol and test ok. I suppose
that power saving policy should converge VMs into hosts one by one.
Something like that. From the beginning, all hosts are in ‘power off’
state, if a VM launch, power saving scheduling module should power on
one host, and assign VM into that host. With many VMs activated,
exceeding the threshold, power saving scheduling module should turn on
another host…
Jepp, that's basically how it works:)
/K
If anyone had played power saving scheduling policy, please share me your scenarios or
some hints. Thanks a lot.
Alex
