+1 on need for this feature The way I've thought about this is we need a mode that stops the *automatic* scheduling of routers/dhcp-servers to specific hosts/agents, while allowing manual assignment of routers/dhcp-servers to those hosts/agents, and where any existing routers/dhcp-servers on those hosts continue to operate as normal.
The maintenance use case was mentioned: I want to evacuate routers/dhcp-servers from a host before taking it down, and having the scheduler add new routers/dhcp while I'm evacuating the node is a) an annoyance, and b) causes a service blip when I have to right away move that new router/dhcp to another host. The other use case is adding a new host/agent into an existing environment. I want to be able to bring the new host/agent up and into the neutron config, but I don't want any of my customers' routers/dhcp-servers scheduled there until I've had a chance to assign some test routers/dhcp-servers and make sure the new server is properly configured and fully operational. - Jack _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
