Subject: [PATCH ha-manager v2 35/40] implement automatic rebalancing
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 19:30:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324183029.1274972-36-d.kral@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324183029.1274972-1-d.kral@proxmox.com>
If the automatic load balancing system is enabled, it checks whether the
cluster node imbalance exceeds some user-defined threshold for some HA
Manager rounds ("hold duration"). If it does exceed on consecutive HA
Manager rounds, it will choose the best resource motion to improve the
cluster node imbalance and queue it if it significantly improves it by
some user-defined imbalance improvement ("margin").
This patch introduces resource bundles, which ensure that HA resources
in strict positive resource affinity rules are considered as a whole
"bundle" instead of individual HA resources.
Specifically, active and stationary resource bundles are resource
bundles, that have at least one resource running and all resources
located on the same node. This distinction is needed as newly created
strict positive resource affinity rules may still require some resource
motions to enforce the rule.
Additionally, the migration candidate generation prunes any target
nodes, which do not adhere to the HA rules of these resource bundles
before scoring these migration candidates.

changes v1 -> v2:
- add more context in patch message
- add comment to sustained_imbalance_round (as suggested by @Thomas)
- fix issue where resource bundle was created even though some dependent
resources were still migrating or relocating
- remove debug logging of node imbalance
- remove unused calculate_node_loads()
- remove select_best_balancing_migration{,_topsis}() from Static and
Dynamic and make it a proxy in PVE::HA::Usage
