DISABLED	The policy is disabled or inactive.

AutoVMMigrationPolicy

The Moab policy used to enabled and configure policy-based VM migration. Using information about data center applications and server load, Moab can aim to keep VMs in the data center optimally distributed across all hypervisors.

This class inherits fields from Policy.

Field Name	Type	PUT	Description
id	String	No	The unique identifier for the policy. Must contain only lowercase letters and dashes, such as 'auto-vm-migration'.

AutoVMMigrationPolicyType

Represents the algorithm used to migrate VMs when the AutoVMMigrationPolicy is used.

Value	Description
NONE	Used when the Auto VM Migration policy is currently disabled in Moab and before any settings are saved the first time. For example, if the policy is disabled on the first read of Moab policies, the AutoVMMigrationPolicy.migrationAlgorithmType will be set to NONE. If the policy is enabled and the type is set to OVERCOMMIT, followed by a disabling of the policy, it will then be represented as having a state of DISABLED with a migrationAlgorithmType of OVERCOMMIT.
OVERCOMMIT	Use the "overcommit" algorithm for migration. The goal of this algorithm is to equalize loads across hypervisors as migrations are queued due to overcommit conditions. This places VMs to be migrated on the least-loaded hypervisor available.
CONSOLIDATION	Use the "consolidation" algorithm for migration. The goal of this algorithm is to load hypervisors as close to thresholds as possible, without exceeding them. This policy places VMs to be migrated on the most loaded hypervisor possible, within these constraints. A second loop of this policy will select lightly-loaded hypervisors to be evacuated completely.

PolicyState

Represents the state of a policy. A policy may only be enabled or disabled.

Value	Description
ENABLED	The policy is enabled or active.
DISABLED	The policy is disabled or inactive.

HVAllocationOvercommitPolicy

The Hypervisor Allocation Overcommit policy controls how many virtual machines can be placed on a hypervisor. By enabling this policy, you are allowing Moab to allocate more resoures to a set of virtual machines than a hypervisor may actually have. This is possible due to virtualization. In other words, this policy allows you to set the high-water mark for virtual machine allocation for hypervisors. At least one of these limits must be greater than 1.0, or the policy will not be able to set to a state of PolicyState.ENABLED.

This class inherits fields from Policy.

Field Name	Type	PUT	Description
id	String	No	The unique identifier for the policy. Must contain only lowercase letters and dashes, such as 'auto-vm-migration'.
conflicted	Boolean	No	Signifies whether any other policies are currently activated that potentially conflict with this policy. If true, it signifies a potential conflict.
description	String	No	The user friendly description of the policy.
memoryAllocationLimit	Double	Yes	Setting this to 1 effectively disables the allocation overcommit based on memory. If this and processorAllocationLimit are both set to 1.0 (the default), the policy state cannot be set to PolicyState.ENABLED.
name	String	No	The user friendly name of the policy.
potentialConflicts	Set<String>	No	A set of policy IDs that may potentially conflict with this policy.
priority	Integer	No	Indicates the absolute priority of the policy with respect to others. It is possible that more than one policy has the same priority. The higher the number, the greater the priority. Minimum is 0.
processorAllocationLimit	Double	Yes	The Allocation Limit defines the upper bound or maximum amount of VCPUs that can be created on any given hypervisor (HV). For example, if you have a hypervisor with 12 processors or cores (Moab sees them as 12 processors), and have an Allocation Limit of 2.0 for procs, then Moab will not allow, under any condition, more than 24 VCPU's to be allocated on this hypervisor. Remember: a VM can have one or more VCPU's. So, in this example, the HV could only support 8 VM's if they all had 3 VPCU's each. It could support 4 VM's if they had 6 VPCU's each, and so forth From http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/resources/docs/mwm/7-1-1/Content/topics/vm/allocation_limits_and_utilization_threshold.html Setting this to 1 effectively disables the allocation overcommit based on processors. If this and memoryAllocationLimit are both set to 1.0 (the default), the policy state cannot be set to PolicyState.ENABLED.
state	PolicyState	Yes	Defines the current state of the policy: enabled or disabled. Defaults to PolicyState.DISABLED.
tags	Set<String>	No	A set of strings that can be used to aid in filtering or querying policies.
types	Set<String>	No	A set of categories or types that the policy is included in. This may be used to filter or query on groups of policies.

NodeAllocationPolicy

Node allocation is the process of selecting the best resources to allocate to a job from a list of available resources. Moab contains a number of allocation algorithms that address this in the NodeAllocationPolicy.

This class inherits fields from Policy.

Field Name	Type	PUT	Description
id	String	No	The unique identifier for the policy. Must contain only lowercase letters and dashes, such as 'auto-vm-migration'.

types	Set<String>	No	A set of categories or types that the policy is included in. This may be used to filter or query on groups of policies.

NodeAllocationAlgorithm

Represents the algorithm used to allocate Nodes when the NodeAllocationPolicy is used.

Value	Description
NONE
InReportedOrder	Simple first come, first served algorithm where nodes are allocated in the order they are presented by the resource manager. This is a very simple, and very fast algorithm.
InReverseReportedOrder	The default setting. Nodes are allocated in descending order that they are presented by the resource manager, or the reverse of FIRSTAVAILABLE.
CustomPriority	This algorithm allows a site to specify the priority of various static and dynamic aspects of compute nodes and allocate them with preference for higher priority nodes. It is highly flexible allowing node attribute and usage information to be combined with reservation affinity. Using node allocation priority, you can specify the node priority with GlobalNodeAllocationPolicy.globalCustomPriorityFunction.
ProcessorLoad	Nodes are selected that have the maximum amount of available, unused CPU power (number of CPUs minus CPU load). ProcessorLoad is a good algorithm for timesharing node systems and applies to jobs starting immediately. For the purpose of future reservations, the MinimumConfiguredResources algorithm is used.
MinimumConfiguredResources	This algorithm prioritizes nodes according to the configured resources on each node. Those nodes with the fewest configured resources that still meet the job's resource constraints are selected.
Contiguous	This algorithm allocates nodes in contiguous (linear) blocks as required by the Compaq RMS system.
ProcessorSpeedBalance	This algorithm attempts to allocate the most balanced set of nodes possible to a job. In most cases, but not all, the metric for balance of the nodes is node procspeed. Thus, if possible, nodes with identical procspeeds are allocated to the job. If identical procspeed nodes cannot be found, the algorithm allocates the set of nodes with the minimum node procspeed span or range.
NodeSpeed	This algorithm selects nodes in the order of fastest node first order. Nodes are selected by node speed if specified. If node speed is not specified, nodes are selected by processor speed. If neither is specified, nodes are selected in a random order.

hvExclusionList	List<String>	Yes	The list of hypervisor IDs on the exclusion list.
name	String	No	The user friendly name of the policy.
potentialConflicts	Set<String>	No	A set of policy IDs that may potentially conflict with this policy.

FairsharePolicy

Fairshare allows historical resource utilization information to be incorporated into job feasibility and priority decisions. This feature allows site administrators to set system utilization targets for users, groups, accounts, classes, and QoS levels. Administrators can also specify the time frame over which resource utilization is evaluated in determining whether the goal is being reached. Parameters allow sites to specify the utilization metric, how historical information is aggregated, and the effect of fairshare state on scheduling behavior. You can specify fairshare targets for any credentials (such as user, group, and class) that administrators want such information to affect. http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/mwm/archive/6-0-4/6.3fairshare.php

This class inherits fields from Policy.

Field Name	Type	PUT	Description
id	String	No	The unique identifier for the policy. Must contain only lowercase letters and dashes, such as 'auto-vm-migration'.
conflicted	Boolean	No	Signifies whether any other policies are currently activated that potentially conflict with this policy. If true, it signifies a potential conflict.
decayFactor	Double	Yes	Specifies decay rate applied to past fairshare interval when computing effective fairshare usage. Values may be in the range of 0.01 to 1.0. A smaller value causes more rapid decay causing aged usage to contribute less to the overall effective fairshare usage. A value of 1.0 indicates that no decay will occur and all fairshare intervals will be weighted equally when determining effective fairshare usage.
depth	Integer	Yes	Number of fairshare windows factored into current fairshare utilization. Note: The number of available fairshare windows is bounded by the MAX_FSDEPTH value (32 in Moab).
description	String	No	The user friendly description of the policy.
intervalSeconds	Long	Yes	Specifies the length of each fairshare window in seconds.
name	String	No	The user friendly name of the policy.
potentialConflicts	Set<String>	No	A set of policy IDs that may potentially conflict with this policy.
priority	Integer	No	Indicates the absolute priority of the policy with respect to others. It is possible that more than one policy has the same priority. The higher the number, the greater the priority. Minimum is 0.

tags	Set<String>	No	A set of strings that can be used to aid in filtering or querying policies.
types	Set<String>	No	A set of categories or types that the policy is included in. This may be used to filter or query on groups of policies.
usageMetric	FairshareUsageMetric	Yes	As Moab runs, it records how available resources are used. Each iteration it updates fairshare resource utilization statistics. Resource utilization is tracked in accordance with the usage metric allowing various aspects of resource consumption information to be measured. The usage metric allows selection of both the types of resources to be tracked as well as the method of tracking. It provides the option of tracking usage by dedicated or consumed resources, where dedicated usage tracks what the scheduler assigns to the job and consumed usage tracks what the job actually uses.
