Stop workload from running on a scavenged host

You must be a cluster administrator to enable host scavenging.

Restriction:

Host scavenging is a feature for use with Platform Symphony.

There are two ways to stop workload from running on a scavenged host:

  • A cluster administrator closes a host and the resource is reclaimed. Any running workload is re-queued after a grace period. New workload cannot be assigned. Slots become unavailable for allocation by EGO.

  • EGO closes the host after a predefined threshold is reached. If fastrelease is enabled, any running workload is re-queued without a grace period. If fastrelease is not enabled, any running workload is re-queued after a grace period. By default, fastrelease is not enabled. Once EGO closes the host, new workload cannot be assigned. Slots become unavailable for allocation by EGO.

Note:

If the SSM fails to re-queue the running workload and return the host within the defined grace period, then EGO forcefully terminates the SIs and re-queues the workload activity before reclaiming the host.

  1. Navigate to Resources > Monitor/Control Hosts > Hosts (List View).
  2. For the host you wish to close, click Actions and then select Close.

    The Close host dialog displays..

  3. Select Close and reclaim this host.... Click Apply.
  4. Remove the hosts from any scavenge resource groups.
