Changes:
To migrate systems using 'use.user.concentrated.pod.allocation' as true and 'vm.allocation.algorithm' as true, we need to
add following changes:
- There will be 5 values to 'vm.allocation.algorithm': 'random', 'firstfit', 'userdispersing', 'userconcentratedpod_random', 'userconcentratedpod_firstfit'
- 'userconcentratedpod_random' means we apply user concentration to pods and clusters. To hosts and pools we use random ordering.
- 'userconcentratedpod_firstfit' means we apply user concentration to pods and clusters. To hosts and pools we use firstfit ordering.
Changes:
- We do not need these global setting anymore. These will be hidden since 3.0
- The default traffic label will be picked from the global setting which is null by default. When traffic label is null it means the resource uses tag on the default gateway
- Changes to invoke discoverer to reload the resource object on host connection
- Since a zone can have many physical networks, there can be multiple guest, public networks. Only the zone wide storage and management traffic label will be stored in host_details henceforth.
- If traffic labels are updated, discoverer should update the host_details
change default mount path of OS where mgmt server is running to /var/lib/cloud/managment/mnt
as /var/lib/cloud/management is home directory of user 'cloud', mgmt server can have full permission
to manipulate it

Admin can either configure system.vm.default.hypervisor which is a global configuration for all zones, or call updatezone add defaultSystemVMHypervisorType
status 12139: resolved fixed
As per the new design following would be done.
(a) any ISO-derived disk can be extracted
(b) there will be a global config to disable extraction of ISO based volumes.
That way people concerned about (a) can just use (b) to fix it.

Changes:
- Added a two new deployment planners 'UserDispersingPlanner' and 'UserConcentratedPodPlanner' to the DeploymentPlanners
- Planner can be chosen by setting the global config variable 'vm.allocation.algorithm' to either of the following values:
('random', 'firstfit', 'userdispersing', 'userconcentratedpod')
- By default, the value is 'random'. When the value is 'random', FirstFitPlanner is invoked as before that shuffles the resource lists.
- Now Admin can choose whether the deployment heuristic should be applied starting at cluster or pod level. This can be done by using the
global config variable 'apply.allocation.algorithm.to.pods' which is false by default. Thus by default as earlier, planner starts at clusters directly.
'UserConcentratedPodPlanner' changes:
- Earlier to 3.0, FirstFitPlanner used to reorder the clusters in case this heuristic was chosen.
- Now this is done by a separate planner and is applied only when 'vm.allocation.algorithm' is set to this planner
- It reorders the capacity based clusters/pods such that those pods having more number of Running Vms for the given account are tried first.
- Note that this userconcentration is applied only to pods and clusters. Not to hosts or storagepools within a cluster.
'UserDispersingPlanner' changes:
- 'UserDispersingPlanner' reorders the capacity ordered pods and clusters based on number of 'Running' VMs for the given account in ascending order. Aim is to choose thodes pods/clusters first which have less number of Running VMs for the given account
- Admin can provide weights to capacity and user dispersion so that both parameters get considered in reordering the pods/clusters. This can be done by setting
the global config parameter 'vm.user.dispersion.weight'. Default value is 1. Thus if this planner is chosen, by default, ordering will be done only by number of Running Vms, unless the weight is changed.
- HostAlllocators and StoragePoolAllocators also reorder the hosts and pools by ascending order of number of Running VMS/ Ready Volumes respectively for the given account. Thus try to choose that host or pool within a cluster with less number of VMs for the account.

added a periodic task that does recalculation of counts. By default interval is set to 0, which will be interpreted as not to run task
