Hi Doron,
[repost...I forgot to change html to plain test again when I replied a few hours ago...sorry about the format..]
Thank you, I disabled swap on hosts, and migrated 2 vms from n33 to n34 an hour ago, everything's fine.
1) Just a little confused about how to caculate the value.
###and I quote,
----
And in your case we see the value is > 0.
This means that swap_total < (swap_free+mem_available) or in general
your host is swapping.
----
###data in my case:
[n34]
# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 32057 31713 344 0 78 13074
-/+ buffers/cache: 18560 13497
Swap: 29999 5098 24901
Physical Memory: 32057 MB total, 18593 MB used, 13464 MB free
Swap Size: 29999 MB total, 5098 MB used, 24901 MB free
Max free Memory for scheduling new VMs: 21644.5 MB
----
## formula in my case:
swap_total - swap_free > mem_available
## substituting =>
swap_total = 29999, swap_free = 24901, mem_available = ?
(mem_available is 344 or 13497 ? Obviously the former value match the fomula, right?)
2) suggestion
Disable swap on ovirt host should be explicit indicated in the document.(for instance: http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Administration_Guide)

### 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 did not satisfy internal filter Memory because has availabe 1863 MB memory. Insufficient free memory to run the VM.
The host n34 did not satisfy internal filter Memory because its swap value was illegal.

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());

}
if (!memoryChecker.evaluate(vds, vm)) {
int hostAavailableMem = SlaValidator.getInstance().getHostAvailableMemoryLimit(vds);
log.debug("Host '{}' has {} MB available. Insufficient memory to run the VM",

continue;
}

}
#-----------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?
--disable 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.

Hi,
Let me simplify things.
We do not allow swapping in general. The reason is that it kills the performance
of all hosts.
As you were able to see in our code (0 is the default config value we have)
we expect the following expression:
swap_total - swap_free - mem_available) * 100 / physical_mem_mb) <= 0
And in your case we see the value is > 0.
This means that swap_total < (swap_free+mem_available) or in general
your host is swapping.
Since the host is swapping, we do not allow to run a VM on it.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Doron
