Re: [Users] Bangalore Workshop Talk Submissions (was: Re: Speakers Needed: Upcoming Workshops)

Hello All, I would like to submit a proposal in the "Bangalore Workshop" along with my colleague Surya Prabhakar. Here is the Abstract --------------------------------------- Base Board Management Controller(BMC) that is present on each of the servers has wealth of hardware information. Apart from performing the usual fencing tasks, BMC can play a more critical role in a visualization environment. Effective usage of BMC will allow virtualization solution to manage the hosts more efficiently. Current oVirt-Engine`s scheduling policy overlooks the real status of a server which can only be given by the onboard BMC. Consider a situation wherein a thermal sensor on a Host has crossed its threshold limits. In the current oVirt setup, the engine would continue to use this tainted Host either by scheduling more VMs or continue hosting the existing VMs. This Host at some point of time is set to fail. Is there a better way of handling such situations or events in oVirt ? The objective of the talk is to highlight the importance of having BMC as part of the oVirt stack and also touch upon the different options that are available to integrate BMC awareness in an oVirt Stack. And here is something about me and Surya ----------------------------------------------------------------- Surya Prabhakar: He has close to 10 years of experience in embedded and Linux development. Currently working as Senior Software development engineer in Dell India R&D centre. His work majorly focuses on making the Dell servers working best with various Linux distros out of the box. He has presented papers in in forums like Opensource India ( OSI tech days ) and conducted workshops in universities on cloud and virtualization. Working with openstack cloud software is his passion. Srinivas Gowda: I have close to 6 years of experience in systems management, embedded Systems and Linux development. Currently working as Senior Software development Engineer in Dell India R&D Centre. I like solving Bugs on Linux...!
