With this change this gap is now -closed. - -A typical case is that, in case of a fault of a host, the user of a high -availability service running on top of that host, needs to make an immediate -switch over from the faulty host to an active standby host. Now, if the compute -host is forced down [1] as a result of that fault, the user has to be notified -about this state change such that the user can react accordingly. Similarly, -a change of the host state to "maintenance" should also be notified to the -users. - -What is changed -=============== - -A new ``host_status`` parameter is added to the ``/servers/{server_id}`` and -``/servers/detail`` endpoints in microversion 2.16. By this new parameter -user can get additional state information about the host. - -``host_status`` possible values where next value in list can override the -previous: - -- ``UP`` if nova-compute is up. -- ``UNKNOWN`` if nova-compute status was not reported by servicegroup driver - within configured time period. Default is within 60 seconds, - but can be changed with ``service_down_time`` in nova.conf. -- ``DOWN`` if nova-compute was forced down. -- ``MAINTENANCE`` if nova-compute was disabled. MAINTENANCE in API directly - means nova-compute service is disabled. Different wording is used to avoid - the impression that the whole host is down, as only scheduling of new VMs - is disabled. -- Empty string indicates there is no host for server. - -``host_status`` is returned in the response in case the policy permits.
