### Description ###
1. problem
1) migrate vm {name:xyz001, mem(min, max) = (2G,4G)} from ovirt host n33 to n34, failed.
2) shutting down vm {name: test001, mem(min, max) = (1G,1G)} on n34, update test001's config: Host->Start Running On: Specific(n34), then start test001, while, it's running on n33.

2. err message 
Error while executing action: migrate 
[engine gui]
xyz001:
Cannot migrate VM. There is no host that satisfies current scheduling constraints. See below for details:
The host n33.ovirt did not satisfy internal filter Memory because has availabe 1863 MB memory. Insufficient free memory to run the VM.
The host n34.ovirt did not satisfy internal filter Memory because its swap value was illegal.

        if (!Config.<Boolean> getValue(ConfigValues.EnableSwapCheck)) {
                    return true;

    } 
#-----------code--------------1#
if EnableSwapCheck = False then return True, so we can simply disable this option? Any Suggestion?

[root at engine ~]# engine-config --get BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage
BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage: 0 version: general

so,,
Config.<Integer> getValue(ConfigValues.BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage) = 0
so,,
(swap_total - swap_free - mem_available) * 100 / physical_mem_mb <= 0
so,,
swap_total - swap_free - mem_available <= 0
right?
so,, if (swap_total - swap_free) <= mem_available then return True else return False


#-----------code--------------2#
       for (VDS vds : hosts) {
            if (!isVMSwapValueLegal(vds)) {
                log.debug("Host '{}' swap value is illegal", vds.getName());
                messages.addMessage(vds.getId(), EngineMessage.VAR__DETAIL__SWAP_VALUE_ILLEGAL.toString());
                continue;
            }
            if (!memoryChecker.evaluate(vds, vm)) {
                int hostAavailableMem = SlaValidator.getInstance().getHostAvailableMemoryLimit(vds);
                log.debug("Host '{}' has {} MB available. Insufficient memory to run the VM",
                        vds.getName(),
                        hostAavailableMem);
                messages.addMessage(vds.getId(), String.format("$availableMem %1$d", hostAavailableMem));
                messages.addMessage(vds.getId(), EngineMessage.VAR__DETAIL__NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY.toString());
                continue;
            }
            (omitted..)
        }

#-----------code--------------2#
!isVMSwapValueLegal then throw exception, right?
so,, when we migrate vm from n33 to n34, the swap status on n34 actually is:
(swap_total - swap_free) > mem_available

swap_used > mem_available? confused...

so,, the logic is:
1) check n33: swap[passed], then memory[failed], then goto (for..continue..loop)
2) check n34: swap[failed], then goto (for..continue..loop)

If I have misunderstood anything, please let me know.



### conclusion ###
1) n33 do not have enough memory. [yes, I know that.]
2) n34 memory is illegal [why and how to solve it?]
3) what I tried:
--change config: BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage
[root at engine ~]# engine-config --set BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage=75 -cver general
[root at engine ~]# engine-config --get BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage
BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage: 75 version: general

Result: failed.

--disable EnableSwapCheck
How? Option not found from 'engine-config --list', should I update table field direct from db?


--disk swap partition on host
Should I do this operation?

--update ovirt-engine?
No useful infomation found in latest release note, should I do this operation?


### help ###
any help would be appreciated.
