So this is referring to resource provider partition (source partition), not consumer type. For the problem of detecting whether an instance is in *this* Nova or another Nova deployment that uses the same placement service, we need a source partition identifier in the resource_providers table.
That's not what I was trying to get at with my comment. What I was wonder was:
If there exists a quota for VCPU does it matter how those VCPU are being consumed in the entire quota domain? Does it matter if the consumption is via nova or some other compute provisioning tool?
Ah, yes, I see now. I suppose what you're trying to determine is whether there is a viable use case for answering the question "given a single 'source partition' -- say, "my compute cloud region A" -- show me the usage of VCPU resources in my 'nova' compute hosts and my 'non-nova' compute hosts". I'm just not sure there's a viable use case there. Best, -jay
