[Users] Power Management question

[Laszlo Hornyak]

Hi,

Yes, the ovirt backend does not shut down or power up any hosts directly, it can work only through vdsm. Therefore you need one running host per datacenter to be able to manage the rest of the hosts.

I understand the motivation, but for smaller installations I believe it would be so great if the backend could do it as well. What vdsm does in the background is not much more than calling the ipmipower command.
