If you have very busy Hosts, with lots of VMs on them, XAPI can get overloaded etc. CloudStack communicates with the Pool Master, so the more Hosts in the Cluster, the more work the Pool Master has to do.
Of course it all depends on your workloads (number of VMs per Host) or Host Spec as Larger VMs or smaller Hosts (less RAM and CPU) will result in fewer VMs per host so you could probably run more Hosts in the Cluster etc Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 November 2014 09:27 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Hosts per cluster? Thanks Geoff, How the cluster will get optimized by adding only 6 xenserver instead of 8? Thanks Tejas From: Geoff Higginbottom <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: 11/13/2014 02:54 PM Subject: RE: Hosts per cluster? The official line is max 8 XenServer Hosts per cluster, but experience has shown the 'optimum' number to be 6 per Cluster Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 November 2014 09:19 To: CloudStack-Users Subject: Hosts per cluster?
