The problem is that you have to go and manually change MAX_CORES on all the node controllers. Moreover, you will need to restart the NC service, which could bring downtime. Being able to overcommit resource at the cluster level would greatly simplify the process. Apparently, this is important to corporate users, as I have had that question before. I think the reasoning is sound; there is no reason to arbitrarily limit the number of instances. I am certainly not expecting such a thing to be implemented for karmic, but if it could get somewhere on Eucalyptus, that would be great. -- Etienne Goyer Technical Account Manager - Canonical Ltd Ubuntu Certified Instructor ~= Ubuntu: Linux for Human Beings =~ -- Cloud Web interface should allow overcommit on CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/457864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to eucalyptus in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
