Description Joe Talerico 2016-05-31 08:20:39 EDT
Description of problem:
Currently we suggest 6GB of RAM to be reserved just for OpenStack services on the compute nodes, however the host_reserved_memory_mb is set to 2048. To reflect what we put into documentation should we update both docs and nova.conf to be 4096, since 6GB seems a bit much.
Comment 3 Sven Anderson 2016-06-03 11:17:30 EDT
Two questions here:

- This bug is about changing the default value of host_reserved_memory_mb only, not the documentation, which is in another ticket, right?

- we would like to change the default value in OSP director, not in nova itself. Is that what you were thinking of?
Comment 4 Joe Talerico 2016-06-06 10:35:51 EDT
Sven - 
1) This is about changing the Documentation and the Default to reflect the same value. 

2) Correct - our THT would be where we change this (that is if we decide to change it). 

Right now we reserve 2GB, instead of the nova default (512MB).
Comment 5 Sven Anderson 2017-05-16 11:44:21 EDT
Even in master this is still 2048. This bug is for OSP8. Is this actually a problem somewhere? To backport that upstream we would need an upstream bug as well. I'm happy to submit the changes, but wanna make sure it has sufficient priority.
Comment 6 Sven Anderson 2017-05-16 11:46:00 EDT
Also could you provide a link to the documentation you are referring to? Thanks!

"
Memory
A minimum of 6 GB of RAM.
"

Then it states :

"
Add additional RAM to this requirement based on the amount of memory that you intend to make available to virtual machine instances.
"
