Description Gal Zaidman 2021-02-21 17:19:32 UTC
We want the installer to have the following behavior:

1.Default:
Create 2 unique affinity groups with a soft negative affinity rule:
- ovirt11-l6hq2-controlplane - contain the masters only and have a higher priority(5).
- ovirt11-l6hq2-cluster - contain all the machines the installer will create, priority(3).

2. No Affinity groups:
To not create any AffinityGroups the user needs to have an empty field on the install config for the control plain and compute nodes Like:
```yaml
compute:
- architecture: amd64
  name: worker
  platform:
    ovirt:
...
      memoryMB: 16000
      affinityGroups: []
...
controlPlane:
...
  platform:
    ovirt:
...
      memoryMB: 16000
      affinityGroups: []
...
```

3. Customize created affinity Groups:
The user can change the affinity groups names/priority or add more/less by editing the affinityGroups field, for example:
```yaml
compute:
- architecture: amd64
  name: worker
  platform:
    ovirt:
...
      memoryMB: 16000
      affinityGroups:
      - name: bla1
        priority: 1.0
      - name: bla2
        priority: 2.0
...
controlPlane:
...
  platform:
    ovirt:
...
      memoryMB: 16000
      affinityGroups:
      - name: bla3
        priority: 3.0
      - name: bla4
        priority: 4.0
...
```

** NOTE: All affinity groups that are created by the installer will have soft negative affinity rules

How to reproduce/test:

1. regular flow:
1.1
Install an OCP cluster with questions or with customizations but *dont* add any affinityGroupsNames field to the install config
expected outcome:

2 affinity groups are created with soft negative affinity rule with the names {cluster-name}-cluster and {cluster-name}-ocp-controlplane
only masters are on {cluster-name}-ocp-masters and all the machines are on {cluster-name}-ocp
{cluster-name}
-ocp-masters have higher priority then {cluster-name}-ocp

1.2 destroy the cluster
expected outcome:
affinity group should be removed

2. no affinity groups flow:
2.1
Install an OCP cluster with customizations and leave the affinityGroupsNames empty on compute and controlPlane
expected outcome:
cluster is installed and no affinity groups are created
2.2 destroy the cluster
expected outcome:
cluster is removed with no errors

3. create custom affinity groups:
3.1
Install an OCP cluster  with customizations and add affinity groups that you created in advance to the affinityGroupsNames field
expected outcome:
cluster is installed and the machines should be added to the corresponding affinity groups
3.2 destroy the cluster
expected outcome:
affinity group should not be removed

Comment 2 michal 2021-05-20 20:54:27 UTC
need to check also this scenario: based on the state of the cluster.  i.e., a three node cluster, but one of the nodes is in maintenance mode?  Probably a few other edge cases like, a host goes into maintenance mode whilst the cluster is being created.  Is that something we can handle.

Comment 3 michal 2021-05-24 16:11:23 UTC
check 3 scenarios 
maintenance host doesn't support in Affinity Group
