[ovirt-users] Ovirt and power saving

[Donny Davis]

The powersaving policy is only applicable to the hosts, so if your low utilization threshold is below the power policy when you pause the vm, it should place the host into maintenance and migrate the paused vm (may cause problems).  I cannot test on my deployment, I am already down too many machines… however if you wait a couple days I can get you’re an answer as to whether it works on my deployment or not J

I mean that I know that I can set a power saving policy, it is a very nice thing.

I need to be sure that I can pause/suspend (not shutdown) virtual machines.

I also need that, if I suspend enough virtual machines ovirt shutdowns server to save power following the power save policy.

 

Otherwise is it possible to manually shutdown a server forcing ovirt to migrate vms to the only one powered up?

 

Basically it is a "manual power saving" mode.

 

Thanks again,

Mario

Not really understand you, what you mean by "you can pause vm and so trigger the low
utilization parameter"?

Thanks for reply.
I just want now to  be sure that you can pause vm and so trigger the low
utilization parameter
