9.18.2.2. Enabling the Application Aware Quota Operator
Enable the Application Aware Quota (AAQ) operator to manage resource quotas to extend native resource management capabilities. Enabling AAQ from the web console eliminates the need to manually edit the HyperConverged custom resource by using the CLI.
Prerequisites
- You have cluster administrator privileges.
- The OpenShift Virtualization operator is installed and running.
Procedure
-
In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Virtualization
Settings. Under Resource Management, toggle the Application Aware Quotas (AAQ) to On.
The operator deployment begins automatically. The status changes from Disabled to Enabled after the operator pods are running.
Optional: Click the Edit icon next to the Quota calculation method field to change the calculation method.
A modal dialog is displayed with the following options:
- Virtual resources: Measures only the virtual CPU and memory allocated to virtual machines (VMs), excluding pod runtime overhead. This is the default option for virtualization workloads.
- Virtual Machine Instance (VMI) pod usage: Measures the total virtual CPU and memory consumption of the VM pod, including both the virtual machine and pod runtime overhead.
- Dedicated virtual resources: Measures the virtual CPU and memory resources assigned to virtual machines and their associated pods, tracking quota usage separately for each type.
- Select your preferred quota calculation method and click Save.
Verification
- Verify that a new Quotas option is displayed in the left navigation menu under Virtualization. This indicates that AAQ is ready for quota creation and management.
