Hi, Some information about A] About the deployment planner option in service offering: - Details can be found here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/DeploymentPlanner+choice+via+ServiceOffering
B]About Implicit dedication planner - Design is here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Dedicated+Resources+-+Private+zone%2C+pod%2C+cluster%2C+host+Functional+Spec - Check the Implicit Dedication Design at the end of the page. - The planner mode option in the service offering page is only applicable for Implicit dedication planner: o strict mode: Choose a host that is dedicated to this account to deploy a VM using this service offering. If no such host is present, choose an empty host and dedicate it to the account and use that for further deployments too. o preferred mode: Choose a dedicated host if available, if not it is ok to use a shared host. -----Original Message----- From: Vahric Muhtaryan [mailto:vah...@doruk.net.tr] Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2013 8:53 AM To: CloudStack SupportMailingList Subject: Planners Hello All , We are discovering compute offering section and couldn¹t understand something about planner. Looks like deployment planner is like intelligent placement on Hyper-v or Vmware DRS but only the placement part. First we can not find explanations of implicitdedicationplanner and bare metal planner , any one know about it ? Second what is planner mode ? What is relation between deployment planner and planner mode ? If we choose deployment planner must we set the planner mode too ? Maybe sounds like stupid but , another thing is we can not imagine some deployment planners, for example if we are running cloud and have a resource, default behaviour should be spread everything almost equal , why people want to put vms depend same account on same pod/cluster or what happen if i have small number of vm on host but there is high resource usage on that hosts. For example KVM do not have an option like vmware drs , how cloudstack handle spread of vms on KVM cluster ? Regards VM
