In this case if user tries to migrate existing VM what happens? Think about all the possible operations on existing VMs that might get affected after upgrade. [Sanjay] :As per the current CS behavior, user can easily migrate existing VM without facing any limit issues. I have checked all the possible operation on existing VMs and there is one more case i.e. if user destroys the existing VM and later tries to recover it, CS will not allow this operation. Thanks for bringing this out, I have update the FS with these use cases. Wouldn't making the global maximums as unlimited a better option as Chris suggested? [Sanjay] In the existing CS behavior, CS is imposing the limits on newly created accounts/projects through global config parameters "max.account/projects.*". In this way if admin forgets to set any limits on account, CS already has the max values of the resource for the account. At any point of time, admin can even set the limit more than the max limit set for the account by global config parameters. So we should have some logical value for the new resource types or else if we pass unlimited than there is no point of adding global configuration parameters. > > >Also for CPU number of cores are considered, should speed also be > considered? > Thanks for suggestion :), we can consider speed also as a part of CPU > resource. > > Thanks, > Sanjay > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Chris Sears [mailto:chris.x.se...@sungard.com] > > Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 10:39 PM > > To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org > > Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Limit Resources to domain/account > > > > On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 6:00 AM, Sanjay Tripathi > > <sanjay.tripa...@citrix.com > > > wrote: > > > > > Can anyone suggest that what should be the default max resource > > > values that an account/project can have for the following global > > > config > > parameters: > > > > > > It seems like the least surprising default max would be to leave > > them all unlimited.
