Greetings all:
Just ran into an ugly bug in XCP 0.5.0. The scenario is this:
Host 1, host 2, host 3 in the pool.
We''re attempting to host-evacuate host-2.
Host 1 is out of memory (possible-hosts on a running VM on host 2 only
shows host 2 and host 3)
xe host-get-vms-which-prevent-evacuation returns the uuids of all the
VMs on host 2.
Attempting to host-evacuate host 2 returns "host out of memory".
In summary, XCP host-evacuate will refuse to evacuate host 2 if host 1
is out of memory, even when host 3 has plenty of memory and XCP shows
that host 2''s VMs can be migrated to host 3. VMs can be migrated from
host 2 to host 3 manually with no problem.
This bug does effect the operation of Xen Cloud Control System under the
right circumstances. Attempting to evacuate and shut down a host will
result in an endless loop of "Shutting down blocking VM ..." messages.
I''ll be giving XCCS it''s own evacuate routines and the fix
will be
available Wednesday.
