Public bug reported:
We are running eucalyptus 1.6.2-0ubuntu27 on lucid beta1. I will retest
this bug on the latest-and-greatest as soon as that is feasible on our
cluster.
We have been running many tests with the ROUNDROBIN scheduling policy.
As a test I changed it to GREEDY a little over a week ago. The
scheduling policy seems to work as expected except that occasionally
when servicing large requests the cluster controller will request that a
node run more VMs than available cores on a machine. We are using kvm.
When making a large request (say 100 VMs) it seems that invariably one
of the nodes used to run the machines will be over-subscribed. Our
machines have 8 cores each and I often see 9 VMs and occasionally I've
seen as many as 12.
I have checked that the machines with extra VMs did not have hyper-
threading enabled and were therefore reporting the correct number of
cores to Eucalyptus according to the
/var/log/eucalyptus/euca_test_nc.log file on each system.
