I am bringing my new system online as I am typing this message… Hopefully I can 
get my power management to work with my blade center… if anyone knows how with 
drac5 please let me in ;)

The powersaving policy is only applicable to the hosts, so if your low 
utilization threshold is below the power policy when you pause the vm, it 
should place the host into maintenance and migrate the paused vm (may cause 
problems). 

 

Thanks it is the exact reply I was hoping for

 

 I cannot test on my deployment, I am already down too many machines… however 
if you wait a couple days I can get you’re an answer as to whether it works on 
my deployment or not J

 

It would be the icing on the cake!

Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Ovirt and power saving

 

I mean that I know that I can set a power saving policy, it is a very nice 
thing.

I need to be sure that I can pause/suspend (not shutdown) virtual machines.

I also need that, if I suspend enough virtual machines ovirt shutdowns server 
to save power following the power save policy.

 

Otherwise is it possible to manually shutdown a server forcing ovirt to migrate 
vms to the only one powered up?

 

Basically it is a "manual power saving" mode.

 

Thanks again,

Mario

Not really understand you, what you mean by "you can pause vm and so trigger 
the low
utilization parameter"?

Thanks for reply.
I just want now to  be sure that you can pause vm and so trigger the low
utilization parameter
