Hi operators,
I want to know how evacuation of resized instances is handled in real
environment.
For example if the vm is in resized state and if the compute host on
which the
vm is resized goes down, then how will operator evacuate the vm.
One possible way is to reset that vm state to error and then evacuate
it to
new compute host.
Please refer below scenario for reference:
Scenario:
=========
Pre-conditions:
--------------------
1. Config option allow_resize_to_same_host is False.
2. Instance path is not mounted on shared storage.
3. Three compute nodes: "compute node A", "compute node B" and
"compute node C"
Steps:
--------
1. Boot an instance on "compute node A".
2. User tries to resize the newly created instance and nova-scheduler
selects
"compute node B" as a destination node for resize.
In this case nova creates a instance directory on destination
"compute
node B" and mark the instance directory which is present on the source
"compute node A" as "*_resize".
Note that the resize operation is yet not confirmed and "compute node
B" goes
down.
3. Reset instance state to ERROR as nova allows evacuation only if
instance
state is 'ACTIVE', 'STOPPED' or 'ERROR'.
I don't understand why you would do this, Abhishek. Why not REVERT the
resize
operation (which would clean up the _resize directory and files on the
original
host A) and then try the resize again?
Sorry for the delayed reply (just got back from vacation). If the dest
compute node is dead, is it even possible to revert the resize?
Abhishek was describing compute node "B" going down, not the source "A",
right?
