Integration of SCVMM with OpenStack to manage Hyper-V Hosts.

Registered by kshitij.nipun.shahzad

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Hyper-V Cluster" for updated plans.

The proposition is to integrate Openstack and SCVMM to manage Hyper-V Host. We intend to use SCVMM server as a Compute Node. This approach leverages the capabilities of SCVMM and help us to incorporate Host management, Cluster level operations, other features supported by SCVMM like enablement of NVGRE.

Advantages of using SCVMM with openstack:
1. Cluster level management. Support of Virtual Machines with High Availability.
2. Another management improvement is the ability to move a host into maintenance mode. When maintenance mode is activated on a host, all running VMs on that host are automatically migrated to other hosts in the cluster.
3. An improvement to disk resources in SCVMM is the ability to add and remove disks from running virtual machines. This feature allows you to add additional disks to your production servers before you run out of space without incurring downtime.

Hm, we don't really need to integrate SCVMM with OpenStack in order to benefit from the advantages you've mentioned:

1. The same benefits can be achieved by having an Hyper-V Cluster.
2. Ditto.
3. That is not an SCVMM or Hyper-V Cluster specific feature, disks can be added to any running VM, as long as they are attached to its SCSI controller.
