about the power management of the hosts

Everybody, hi: I would like to ask, after the configuration of power management on the host, under what circumstances will work? That is, when does the engine send a request to the IPMI module to restart the power supply? Is it necessary to configure power management modules in the production environment? Are there any risks? Thanks!

If your Host is stale and is having thr SPM role -> some tasks will fail.Also, the VMs on such host won't be recovered unless VM HA is enabled (with storage lease). For prod, I would setup that.Keep in mind that the fencing is issued by another host in the cluster, so you need minimum 2 hosts in a cluster before starting setup & test.

Hi, I don't think you're supposed to use IPMI for anything :) Most likely candidate for current hardware is redfish -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfish_(specification) Greetings Klaas On 9/19/21 17:08, Tommy Sway wrote:

It is possible, but without the SPM host being fenced you won't be able to do any storage-related tasks. Even snapahot management will be impossible withoutmanual intervention (reboot the host from the remote management and then mark the host as restarted).

My test scenario is as follows: Two physical machines in a cluster are not configured with power management, and VMS are enabled with high availability. After a host is stopped, VMS restart on other physical servers. The physical machine that was stopped then started back, found that there was no abnormal. I was wondering under what conditions you said there might be problems with the storage layer ?

When systems go 'crazy' there is no guarantee that they will be completely unresponsive. HA VMs should be fine, but regular VMs won't be restarted as the engine won't know if the host is dead or not (and no fencing is configured to guarantee that). Also, storage tasks could fail if that host is also the SPM.

Hi, For example, in situation where host: * laggy * network laggy or another manager <-> host connectivity issues - ovirt-engine can't determine what with host actually: * host stuck * host unreachable * me (engine) unreachable * other lossy, lags, etc another chances for enginte to determine host is powered up or not is IPMI - engine tells to another (reachable) host to execute IPMI call for target host (problem host): here some engine logic, when host is actually powered up - we can wait when management network return, or can reboot (via IPMI) host, mark host as failed, evacuate VM's, etc... k
