Created attachment 924866 [details] engine.log Description of problem: Prestarted VMs are not started all together in one shot. The prestarted value is '6' but first only 4 VMs are started then some minutes later the rest of them. This is odd. 2014-Aug-07, 12:18 VM thepool-5 was restarted on Host dell-r210ii-03 as stateless 2014-Aug-07, 12:18 VM thepool-2 was restarted on Host dell-r210ii-03 as stateless 2014-Aug-07, 12:17 VM thepool-5 was restarted on Host <UNKNOWN> 2014-Aug-07, 12:17 VM thepool-2 was restarted on Host <UNKNOWN> 2014-Aug-07, 12:13 VM thepool-4 was restarted on Host dell-r210ii-03 as stateless 2014-Aug-07, 12:13 VM thepool-1 was restarted on Host dell-r210ii-03 as stateless 2014-Aug-07, 12:13 VM thepool-3 was restarted on Host dell-r210ii-03 as stateless 2014-Aug-07, 12:13 VM thepool-6 was restarted on Host dell-r210ii-03 as stateless 2014-Aug-07, 12:12 VM thepool-1 was restarted on Host <UNKNOWN> 2014-Aug-07, 12:12 VM thepool-4 was restarted on Host <UNKNOWN> 2014-Aug-07, 12:12 VM thepool-3 was restarted on Host <UNKNOWN> 2014-Aug-07, 12:12 VM thepool-6 was restarted on Host <UNKNOWN> 2014-Aug-07, 12:12 Starting VM thepool-7 as stateless was initiated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-engine-backend-3.5.0-0.0.master.20140804172041.git23b558e.el6.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a pool with 7 vms 2. define 6 as prestarted 3. after the dialog is closed, restart the engine from cli Actual results: later on prestarted vms are not started in one shot Expected results: start in one shot, time is money Additional info:
VMs are prestarted as fast as they can. Sometimes you get a contention on resources which are resolved after some time, hence next retry succeeds to run some more (maybe still not all), etc… any specific complaint?
if it is like it should work by design then i cannot complain, right? iiuc to speed it up only solution is to modify VmPoolMonitorIntervalInMinutes: 5 version: general VmPoolMonitorBatchSize: 5 version: general feel free to close the BZ if there's nothing suspicious in the logs.
you can complain as much as you want:-) no, nothing else suspicious there...
