[ovirt-users] Cluster policy question

Hi,

evenly distributed takes only the CPU load into account (memory was
added in 3.6). If most of the VMs are doing nothing there is no key to
use for balancing.

Also we only start automatic balancing once the overload threshold is
reached (80% load by default) on a host. And we move VMs from
overloaded to underloaded hosts.

The picture in the following link might explain that a bit although we
created it for the memory case, the CPU based loading obeys the same
rules.
