Open Stack

Thanks for your information.

As I understand, the resource pool supporting is still in discussing. It is
a sudden surprise that in IceHouse the resource pool can be found by
configuring it as a cluster. Am I right?

By the way, I have read the code and found the reason:
It applies "ClusterComputeResource" to retrieve all objects and then filter
it by cluster name. ClusterComputeResource is a sub-class of
ComputeResource which owns a property "ResourcePool". Then
ClusterComputeResource inherit this property from its father class.
Then if you configure your cluster_name =<resource pool name>
in /etc/nova/nova.conf, the resource pool can be discovered.

It looks like that this is out of design. Now I am not sure whether this is
only a surprise, or offically supported? Is there limitation in the
discovered resource pool?

Thanks.

Thanks & Best Regards ,

Hi,
There was talk at the last summit about supporting resource pools. My
recollection is that there were too many edge cases found. Please note that
this is something that I not officially tested with minesweeper.
Thanks
Gary

Hi all:

I found that if I configure resource pool as the cluster way:
/etc/nova/nova.conf
cluster_name=<resource pool name>

It works and retrieve the resource pool as a cluster. Such as:


I want to know whether it is as design. Is there official doc?

Thanks.
