Sadly, it is not on going althrough the system administrator needs "host maintenance mode with kvm"

Now, On ice-house term, I think the concept of the blueprint should be changed.

I suggest Host class should be in libvirt driver and It implements set_host_enabled() and host_maintenance_mode() like xenapi and vmware cases.
set_host_enabled() method should control nova-compute service and nova-network (if it works in multi dhcp mode).
host_maintenance_mode() method should evacuates vms to other hosts with live-migration (or other way)

Whiteboard

Yes, I'd like this supported in the libvirt driver. However, I don't necessarily agree with the approach listed. In particular, at least automatically doing any evacuation should not be included. Some refining of the design and approach is needed here. Feel free to start a discussion on openstack-dev if you'd like to go over it. --russellb

Removed from next, as next is now reserved for near misses from the last milestone --johnthetubaguyYes, I'd like this supported in the libvirt driver.

Marking this blueprint as definition: Drafting. If you are still working on this, please re-submit via nova-specs. If not, please mark as obsolete, and add a quick comment to describe why. --johnthetubaguy (20th April 2014)

It has been quite a long time since this was updated, so I'm assuming it's not actively worked on. Looking at this again, I'm not sure what value this adds over just doing a service-disable and then issuing a migration or evacuate API call, anyway ... --russellb
