Migration will work on homogeneous clusters so this should not be
enforced (not limited to VMs which are pinned to host) just give
a warning.
I agree, but if we wish to ping vCPUx to pCPUy in host a, we
cannot ensure to have the same in host b,
since it may have pCPUy too busy, so performance will degrade.
Also, I hope you saw my general comment
Performance may degrade on any migration to loaded host regardless
of pinning.
There is not need to forbid migration. Instead, the SLA assurance
policy should verify the dedicated resources and match the target
w/ the guarantee and decide according to this.
Thanks for the input.
We may start with migration blocked in a configurable manner, so
people who wish migrate to work
will simply set the relevant configuration key.
As for looking for a matched CPU, will add it as p2.
We shouldn't block migration
If a user wants to not migrate a cpu pinned VM then let them use the
non-migratable flag in the UI.
We're not blocking migration, we're allowing pinning (for now) only for
non-migrative VM's.
For p2 we'll verify destination host has the relevant pinning capacity, which
will allow
pinning for migrative VM's as well.
IMHO the order should be the opposite - if the user likes to migrate a
pinned VM, let him (you can pop some message if you like).
about starting with a humble solution and gradually improving. In
this context (auto)numa can help us,
so we better do numa than handle migration for basic mode, risking
performance issues.

Subject: [Engine-devel] CPU Pinning @engine
Hi All,
Currently the VDSM has a CPU pinning hook.
We'd like to add better support of it into the engine itself.
Here's a design draft to cover it:

Please review and comment if needed.
Thanks!
