Working with Scavenged Hosts

General workflow for setting up host scavenging

  1. Install Platform Symphony on hosts intended for scavenging.

  2. Add "scvg" tag to those hosts and start or restart the cluster.

  3. Enable the scavenging agent.

  4. Create a resource group for scavenge-ready hosts.

  5. Create or modify a consumer to include the scavenge resource group.

  6. Set ownership, sharing, lending, and borrowing for scavenge resource group.

  7. Set thresholds that trigger the scavenging agent to open and close hosts participating in host scavenging.

  8. Verify the hosts that are scavenge-ready.
