Huang, If you are willing to modify code, you might want to take a look at the code at lp:~usc-isi/nova/hpc-trunk that has a scheduler (nova/scheduler/arch.py) that does not allow creating new instances if cpu or other resources are used up. If you have any question on the branch, please feel free to ask me.

Hi Huang: You can use the simple scheduler, allocates new instances to hosts that have the fewest instances currently running. --scheduler_driver=nova.scheduler.simple.SimpleScheduler More sophisticated schedulers are currently under active development, but they haven't made it to the trunk yet.

That would cause serious performance issue on a busy environment. So I was wondering if there's some kinda mechanism to limit to resource one compute node could use, something like the 'weight' in OpenNebula. I'm using Cactus (with GridDynamic's RHEL package), default scheduler policy, one zone only. Any suggestion? -- Regards Huang Zhiteng _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
