Open Stack

There must be other OpenStack services which have also faced this ‘stop scheduling but keep replying’ issues. Can we make the names for the various states and transitions consistent ?

+1 on need for this feature

The way I've thought about this is we need a mode that stops the *automatic*
scheduling of routers/dhcp-servers to specific hosts/agents, while allowing
manual assignment of routers/dhcp-servers to those hosts/agents, and where
any existing routers/dhcp-servers on those hosts continue to operate as normal.

The maintenance use case was mentioned: I want to evacuate routers/dhcp-servers
from a host before taking it down, and having the scheduler add new routers/dhcp
while I'm evacuating the node is a) an annoyance, and b) causes a service blip
when I have to right away move that new router/dhcp to another host.

The other use case is adding a new host/agent into an existing environment.
I want to be able to bring the new host/agent up and into the neutron config, but
I don't want any of my customers' routers/dhcp-servers scheduled there until I've
had a chance to assign some test routers/dhcp-servers and make sure the new server
is properly configured and fully operational.
These are all solid reasons for adding this, and it makes sense to me as well. From a deployers perspective, these would be a big win.
Given we have already filed a bug, hopefully we can get this addressed soon.

Thanks,
Kyle
