Subject: [pve-devel] [RFC PATCH-SERIES ha-manager 0/2] Negative Node Affinity Rules
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2025 14:35:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251219133643.295514-1-d.kral@proxmox.com> (raw)
For larger HA clusters, specifying the nodes in simple* node affinity
rules as opt-out (negative) instead of opt-in (positive) can make the
rule set easier to follow and implement by users.
* simple = without priority groups
There's no web interface integration yet, because I'm not entirely sure
yet how to integrate it with the concept of priority groups for positive
node affinity rules, which do not make sense in this context as the
specified nodes will be removed from the effective node set.
As the conversion is pretty straightforward, we could even allow users
to convert between positive and negative node affinity rules (e.g. when
switching the affinity type in the web interface?).
Negative node affinity rules can be declared manually in the rules.cfg
now with these two small patches:
node-affinity: ha-rule-name
affinity negative
nodes node1,node2
resources vm:100,vm:101
In a cluster with node1,...,node5 this will result in the identical
positive node affinity rule:
node-affinity: ha-rule-name-dual
affinity positive
nodes node3,node4,node5
resources vm:100,vm:101
Daniel Kral (2):
rules: node affinity: add affinity property to node affinity rules
rules: node affinity: implement negative node affinity rules
