Open Stack

Hi,

Yes, this is in my mind.  I see it as being in two parts:

First, there needs to be a scheduler hint and filter so that the
scheduler knows not to schedule more VMs for the host in maintenance
mode.

Second, there needs to be a way to ask the scheduler 'where would you
put this VM if you were asked to do so' without making the scheduler
actually schedule a VM creation, then use that information for live
migration destination selection.

Both of these look relatively straightforward, but they both need
doing :)

Cheers,
