To use Alternative Cinder Scheduler Classes in a Cinder deployment the package will need to be first installed in all scheduler nodes as instructed in the installation guide.

Then configuration files will need to be updated to use the classes:

scheduler_host_manager = alt_cinder_sch.host_managers.HostManagerThin
scheduler_default_filters = AvailabilityZoneFilter,AltCapacityFilter,CapabilitiesFilter
scheduler_driver = alt_cinder_sch.scheduler_drivers.FilterScheduler

Scheduler’s default filters could vary depending on your configuration, but the only filter provided by this package at the moment is the AltCapacityFilter.

In above example we were defaulting to thin provisioning calculations for any backend that supported thin provisioning, but we can also default to thick provisioning is we use HostManagerThick instead as the scheduler_default_filters.
