[Openstack] How To Cleanup SWAP in Compute Node

2012-10-11 Thread Ji Zhang
Hi,

One of my compute node eats up swap, and it turns out to be a kvm
process. So I have two questions:

1. How to release the swap? I tried terminating other instances on the
same node, but it doesn't help. So can I use the normal approach like
sync; echo 3  /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, swapoff -a  swapon -a on
compute node? Will it be too dangerous?

2. What will cause the kvm process eating up swap? I don't think it
possible to launch new instance in a cloud that is already full. Are
there any other causes? Something I should avoid in the future?

Thanks.

PS: I'm coping with a cloud of Diablo release, which is handed over
from a previous Ops.

Hi,

So you're suggesting I should install from source. Which branch/tag
should I use? branch stable/essex? tag folsom-3?

And also I'm worrying about upgrading and/or migration. Is it
expensive to adopt a newer version of openstack?

 Guys around will probably disagree,but I have spent last 5-6weeks creating

 Versions in repos are about 2months old if I'm not mistaken...too old for
 such fast paced project.

 Hi,

 I'm to deploy OpenStack Essex in production environment. According to
 the official manual, I should either install it manually or use
 dodai-deploy. After briefly browsing these methods, it seems that both
 of them are using the packages distributed in official repository
 (i.e. apt-get install keystone), not building from source like
 DevStack does.

 So my question is, as is said in the title, are these packages
 production ready? Or should I checkout the stable/essex branch of each
 project and build it by myself?

 Thanks.

Hi Marek,

Thanks for your reply.

When Folsom comes out, I hope there'll be some sharing experiences on
live-migration.

 I would say it depends on your experience with OpenStack.
 You can probably go for folsom-3... Till you find your way around, final 
 release should be out and you can use it in production.
 (It's only a month or so away, and believe me, it will take you that time to 
 install it, get to know it, and test if it suits your production scenario.)
 Just keep in mind, it's kind of development branch.

 We are done with our POC on essex. But if are about to proceed to production, 
 it will be done on Folsom once it is out. (there are still lot of things to 
 test till it's out)
 I have no experience with upgrades so far (one of the things to be tested), 
 so I can't tell you how hard it is. I can imagine it really depends on your 
 particular buildup.
