Hello all,
Is there a maximum length of time an Ovirt Node 4.2 based host can be
offline in a cluster before it would have issues when powered back on?
The reason I ask is in my lab I currently have a three node cluster that
works really well, however a lot of the time I only actually need the
resources of one host, so to save power I'd like to keep the other two
offline until needed.
I can always script them to boot once a week or so if I need to.
Thanks,
Thomas

Thanks, that answers my follow up question! :)
My concern is that I could have a host off-line for a month say, is that
going to cause any issues?

I think that if in the mean time you don't make any configuration changes
and you don't update anything, there is no reason to have problems.
In case of changes done, it could depend on what they are: are you thinking
about any particular scenario?
3:26 a.m.
Hi,
the hosts are almost stateless and we set up most of what is needed
during activation. Hosted engine has some configuration stored
locally, but that is just the path to the storage domain.
I think you should be fine unless you change the network topology
significantly. I would also install security updates once in while.
We can even shut down the hosts for you when you configure two cluster
scheduling properties: EnableAutomaticPM and HostsInReserve.
HostsInReserve should be at least 1 though. It behaves like this, as
long as the reserve host is empty, we shut down all the other empty
hosts. And we boot another host once a VM does not fit on other used
hosts and is places on the running reserve host. That would save you
the power of just one host, but it would still be highly available (if
hosted engine and storage allows that too).
Bear in mind that single host cluster is not highly available at all.
Best regards

That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks all.
I'll schedule a script for the nodes to reboot and patch once every week or
two and then I can let it run without me needing to worry about it.

Is this shell or python script with connection to oVirt engine? My 4.2
node don't shutdown properly until I'm shutdown all VMs take it into
maintenance mode manually. Shutdown process freezes at certain point.
