This will immediately enable + calling of evacuation of any VM on host and further enabling faster HA + actions. + +What this API does +================== + + In OpenStack the nova-compute service state can represent the compute host + state and this new API is used to force this service down. It is assumed + that the one calling this API has made sure the host is also fenced or + powered down. This is important, so there is no chance same VM instance will + appear twice in case evacuated to new compute host. When host is recovered + by any means, the external system is responsible of calling the API again to + disable forced_down flag and let the host nova-compute service report again + host being up. If network fenced host come up again it should not boot VMs + it had if figuring out they are evacuated to other compute host. The + decision of deleting or booting VMs there used to be on host should be + enhanced later to be more reliable by Nova blueprint: + https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/robustify-evacuate + +REST API for forcing down: +========================== + + Parameter explanations: + tenant_id: Identifier of the tenant. + binary: Compute service binary name. + host: Compute host name. + forced_down: Compute service forced down flag. + token: Token received after successful authentication. + service_host_ip: Serving controller node ip. + + request: + PUT /v2.1/{tenant_id}/os-services/force-down + { + "binary": "nova-compute", + "host": "compute1", + "forced_down": true + } + + response: + 200 OK + { + "service": { + "host": "compute1", + "binary": "nova-compute", + "forced_down": true + } + } + + Example: + curl -g -i -X PUT http://{service_host_ip}:8774/v2.1/{tenant_id}/os-services + /force-down -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json + " -H "X-OpenStack-Nova-API-Version: 2.11" -H "X-Auth-Token: {token}" -d '{"b + inary": "nova-compute", "host": "compute1", "forced_down": true}' + +CLI for forcing down: +===================== + + nova service-force-down <hostname> nova-compute + + Example: + nova service-force-down compute1 nova-compute + +REST API for disabling forced down: +=================================== + + Parameter explanations: + tenant_id: Identifier of the tenant. + binary: Compute service binary name. + host: Compute host name. + forced_down: Compute service forced down flag. + token: Token received after successful authentication. + service_host_ip: Serving controller node ip. + + request: + PUT /v2.1/{tenant_id}/os-services/force-down + { + "binary": "nova-compute", + "host": "compute1", + "forced_down": false + } + + response: + 200 OK + { + "service": { + "host": "compute1", + "binary": "nova-compute", + "forced_down": false + } + } + + Example: + curl -g -i -X PUT http://{service_host_ip}:8774/v2.1/{tenant_id}/os-services + /force-down -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json + " -H "X-OpenStack-Nova-API-Version: 2.11" -H "X-Auth-Token: {token}" -d '{"b + inary": "nova-compute", "host": "compute1", "forced_down": false}' + +CLI for disabling forced down: +============================== + + nova service-force-down --unset <hostname> nova-compute + + Example: + nova service-force-down --unset compute1 nova-compute |
