Hi,
In my DC, I have three hosts added:
hostA
hostB
hostC
I want a way to force only to use hostA as a proxy for power commands. This=

The algorithm of selection a host to act as a proxy for PM commands is
quite naive: any host from the system with status UP.
You can see how it is being selected in FencingExecutor.FindVdsToFence()
from
ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/bll/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/bll/FencingExecutor.java
There is no other algorithm for the selection at the moment.
How would you handle a case in which hostA isn't responsive ? Wouldn't
you prefer trying to perform the fencing using other available host ?

Let me explain a little to make you better understand my reasoning
behind this configuration.
We work with segmented, separated networks. One network for public
access, one for storage traffic, one for management and so on. That
means that if the nodes themselves have to do their own
power-management, the nodes would require three interfaces each, and the
metal we are using for hosts just don´t have that. But if we can use the
engine to do that, the hosts would only require two interfaces, which
most 1U servers are equipped with as standard (plus one
iLO/IPMI/whatev), so we can use them as hosts without issue. Then the
backend has one extra interface that it can use to communicate over the
power management network to the respective service processor with.
Is there a "better" way to achieve what we are aiming for? Ideally, I
would like to set up the two NICs in a bond and create VLAN-interfaces
on top of that bond. That way, I can have as many virtual interfaces as
I want without having more than two physical NICs, but I haven´t been
able to find a good HOWTO explaining the process.
I think there is a difference between:
1. allowing engine to fence
2. allowing to choose fencing host per cluster (or per host)
it sounds like you actually want #1, but can live with #2, by installing
the engine as a host as well.

The algorithm of selection a host to act as a proxy for PM commands is
quite naive: any host from the system with status UP.
You can see how it is being selected in FencingExecutor.FindVdsToFence()
from
ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/bll/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/cor=
e/bll/FencingExecutor.java
There is no other algorithm for the selection at the moment.
How would you handle a case in which hostA isn't responsive ? Wouldn't
you prefer trying to perform the fencing using other available host ?
Let me explain a little to make you better understand my reasoning
behind this configuration.
We work with segmented, separated networks. One network for public
access, one for storage traffic, one for management and so on. That
means that if the nodes themselves have to do their own
power-management, the nodes would require three interfaces each, and the
metal we are using for hosts just don=B4t have that. But if we can use the
engine to do that, the hosts would only require two interfaces, which
most 1U servers are equipped with as standard (plus one
iLO/IPMI/whatev), so we can use them as hosts without issue. Then the
backend has one extra interface that it can use to communicate over the
power management network to the respective service processor with.
Is there a "better" way to achieve what we are aiming for? Ideally, I
would like to set up the two NICs in a bond and create VLAN-interfaces
on top of that bond. That way, I can have as many virtual interfaces as
I want without having more than two physical NICs, but I haven=B4t been
able to find a good HOWTO explaining the process.
I think there is a difference between:
1. allowing engine to fence
2. allowing to choose fencing host per cluster (or per host)
it sounds like you actually want #1, but can live with #2, by installing
the engine as a host as well.
Exactly, I can live with #2, as I have the engine added as hostA in my DC

Exactly, I can live with #2, as I have the engine added as hostA in my DC
well, the question is if choosing another host to use for fencing
would/should be limited to hosts from same DC, then engine can only be
used to fence one DC.
also, for any host other than engine, question is what to do if it is
down...

I=B4m quoting you here:
"1. power management is DC wide, not cluster."
So this wouldn=B4t be any different from it=B4s current state.

I´m quoting you here:
"1. power management is DC wide, not cluster."
So this wouldn´t be any different from it´s current state.
true, but if you have multiple DCs, engine as a host can be used to
fence only one DC.
while if engine is 'special', it can be used to fence in all DCs

Hi,

The algorithm of selection a host to act as a proxy for PM commands is
quite naive: any host from the system with status UP.
You can see how it is being selected in
FencingExecutor.FindVdsToFence()
from
ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/bll/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/cor=
e/bll/FencingExecutor.java
There is no other algorithm for the selection at the moment.
How would you handle a case in which hostA isn't responsive ? Wouldn't
you prefer trying to perform the fencing using other available host ?
Let me explain a little to make you better understand my reasoning
behind this configuration.
We work with segmented, separated networks. One network for public
access, one for storage traffic, one for management and so on. That
means that if the nodes themselves have to do their own
power-management, the nodes would require three interfaces each,
and the
metal we are using for hosts just don=B4t have that. But if we can
use the
engine to do that, the hosts would only require two interfaces, which
most 1U servers are equipped with as standard (plus one
iLO/IPMI/whatev), so we can use them as hosts without issue. Then the
backend has one extra interface that it can use to communicate over the
power management network to the respective service processor with.
Is there a "better" way to achieve what we are aiming for? Ideally, I
would like to set up the two NICs in a bond and create VLAN-interfaces
on top of that bond. That way, I can have as many virtual interfaces as
I want without having more than two physical NICs, but I haven=B4t been
able to find a good HOWTO explaining the process.
I think there is a difference between:
1. allowing engine to fence
2. allowing to choose fencing host per cluster (or per host)
it sounds like you actually want #1, but can live with #2, by installing
the engine as a host as well.
Exactly, I can live with #2, as I have the engine added as hostA in my DC
well, the question is if choosing another host to use for fencing
would/should be limited to hosts from same DC, then engine can only be
used to fence one DC.
I=B4m quoting you here:
"1. power management is DC wide, not cluster."
So this wouldn=B4t be any different from it=B4s current state.
true, but if you have multiple DCs, engine as a host can be used to
fence only one DC.
while if engine is 'special', it can be used to fence in all DCs
OK, so you actually want the engine to be special. Well, thats how VMWare v=
Center also manages power control so I like that as well. Of course it=B4s =
always better if engine could fence all DC=B4s, instead of just one, and it=
would also make it a lot more intuitive to configure, cause you won=B4t ne=
ed two hosts before the first could verify the other either. And if the en=
gine goes down, you would have bigger issues than power control to worry ab=
out;)
also, for any host other than engine, question is what to do if it is
down...
