Changes:
- Added a two new deployment planners 'UserDispersingPlanner' and 'UserConcentratedPodPlanner' to the DeploymentPlanners
- Planner can be chosen by setting the global config variable 'vm.allocation.algorithm' to either of the following values:
('random', 'firstfit', 'userdispersing', 'userconcentratedpod')
- By default, the value is 'random'. When the value is 'random', FirstFitPlanner is invoked as before that shuffles the resource lists.
- Now Admin can choose whether the deployment heuristic should be applied starting at cluster or pod level. This can be done by using the
global config variable 'apply.allocation.algorithm.to.pods' which is false by default. Thus by default as earlier, planner starts at clusters directly.
'UserConcentratedPodPlanner' changes:
- Earlier to 3.0, FirstFitPlanner used to reorder the clusters in case this heuristic was chosen.
- Now this is done by a separate planner and is applied only when 'vm.allocation.algorithm' is set to this planner
- It reorders the capacity based clusters/pods such that those pods having more number of Running Vms for the given account are tried first.
- Note that this userconcentration is applied only to pods and clusters. Not to hosts or storagepools within a cluster.
'UserDispersingPlanner' changes:
- 'UserDispersingPlanner' reorders the capacity ordered pods and clusters based on number of 'Running' VMs for the given account in ascending order. Aim is to choose thodes pods/clusters first which have less number of Running VMs for the given account
- Admin can provide weights to capacity and user dispersion so that both parameters get considered in reordering the pods/clusters. This can be done by setting
the global config parameter 'vm.user.dispersion.weight'. Default value is 1. Thus if this planner is chosen, by default, ordering will be done only by number of Running Vms, unless the weight is changed.
- HostAlllocators and StoragePoolAllocators also reorder the hosts and pools by ascending order of number of Running VMS/ Ready Volumes respectively for the given account. Thus try to choose that host or pool within a cluster with less number of VMs for the account.
Changes:
- We were ordering clusters based on capacity of the first-fit host found in each cluster. Due to this, there were cases where we deployed VMs to one cluster instead of balancing off within clusters.
- Now we order the list of clusters by aggregate capacity and choose the ones that have enough capacity for the required VM in this order.
- This should balance the load between clusters instead of bombarding one.

Changes:
- Changed host allocators/planner to use cpu.overprovisioning.factor
- Removed following: while adding a new host, we were setting the total_cpu in op_host_capacity to be actual_cpu * cpu.overprovisioning.factor. Now we set it to actual_cpu.
- ListCapacities response now calculates the total CPU as actual * cpu.overprovisioning.factor (This change does not add anything new - listCapacities was pulling total CPU from op_host_capacity DB earlier which had the cpu.overprovisioning.factor applied already. Now we need to apply it over the DB entry.)
- HostResponse has a new field: 'cpuWithOverprovisioning' that returns the cpu after applying the cpu.overprovisioning.factor
- Db Upgrade 222 to 224 now updates the total_cpu in op_host_capacity to be the actual_cpu for each Routing host.
Changes:
- Now while listing hosts for migration, capacity is calculated as total_capacity -used_capacity
instead of total_capacity -(used_capacity + reserved_capacity)
- Also, the capacity columns in op_host_capacity are now 'signed' type so that the subtractions in queries does not overflow.
- Added this to DB upgrade 222 to 224 change as well.
This is a Root admin only functionality
---------------------
Service API changes:
---------------------
- ManagementServer will expose new API:
Pair<List<HostVO>, List<Long>> listHostsForMigrationOfVM(UserVm vm, Long
startIndex, Long pageSize)
The API returns list of all hosts in the VM's cluster minus the current host and also a list of hostIds that seem to have enough CPU and RAM capacity to host this VM.
- ListHostsCmd will call this service API if virtualmachineid is present in the request.
- MigrateVmCmd is the new command added that takes in virtualmachineid and destination hostid
- UserVmService will expose a new API: UserVm migrateVirtualMachine(UserVm vm, Host destinationHost)
------------------------------------
API throws error in following cases:
------------------------------------
- User is not a root Admin. (‘Permission denied’)
- A VM uses local storage, we cannot migrate it, so ‘listHosts’ will throw error.
- We fail to migrate the VM on the chosen host.
- API will support migration for XenServer only currently. So error is thrown
if hypervisor is not XenServer (e.g KVM, vSphere etc)
- Destination host is not in same cluster as source host.
- VM is not in running state
Bug 7723 - merge or re-write host tagging into master / 2.2
Bug 7627 - Need more logging for Allocators
Bug 8317 - Add better resource allocation failure messages
Changes for Deployment Planner to use host and storagePool allocators to find deployment destination.
Also has the changes for host tag feature.
Improved the logging for allocators.
