Re: How to balance the workload on different blades

2010-01-27 Thread yu267155364

Josh,

What I want to do is that make the workloads on each blade are equal. For 
instance, there are 6 virtual machines running in the system which has 6 
blades, I hope VCL can select a computer which belong to a host that has the 
lowest current workload. So in the end, each virtual machine can be running 
on different blades.


Thanks,

Xianqing

Xianqing,

The scheduling algorithm is in isAvailable in utils.php.  It would be
difficult to describe the whole thing.  Have a look at the code first.  If
you have specific questions about it, ask here.

Before you make changes to the code, it would be useful if you would 
describe
what you are planning on doing.  You may be doing something useful to 
other

parts of the community or even the whole community.  If so, we can provide
feedback on what may be the best way to implement the changes you are 
making

so that they can be most easily incorporated into the official codebase.

Thanks,
Josh

Hi,

Do you know where is the code VCL decides which computer will be used for
reservation, and how this decision is being made? I am still trying to
optimize the workload for now.

 Xianqing,

 The scheduler doesn't provide a way to do this right now.  We will be
 doing a
 major overhaul to VM management in the 2.4 release which should provide
 what
 you are asking.
