----------------------------------------
Summary: Document procedure to choose default System Offering for
System VMs
Key: CLOUDSTACK-492
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-492
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Doc
Affects Versions: 4.0.0
Reporter: Kirk Kosinski
Priority: Minor
While it is possible to manully change the System Offering for a particular
System VM, a CloudStack administrator may want to change the System Offering
used by default for System VMs. It would be useful for this procedure to be
documented. The following procedure works for me on CloudStack 3.0.2 and
4.0.0-incubating.
1. Create a new system offering with the desired settings. This can be done via
UI under the Service Offerings tab.
2. Back up the database.
mysqldump -u root -p cloud | bzip2 > cloud_backup.sql.bz2
3. Open a mysql prompt to be able to run queries in later steps on the cloud
database.
mysql -u cloud -p cloud
4. In the disk_offering table in the database, identify the original default
offering and the new offering you wish to be used by default. Make a note of
their id.
select id,name,unique_name,type from disk_offering;
5. Set unique_name = NULL for the original default offering. It is important to
use the correct value for id.
update disk_offering set unique_name = NULL where id = 10;
6. For the new offering you wish to be used by default, set unique_name =
'Cloud.com-ConsoleProxy' (for the default CPVM offering) or
'Cloud.com-SecondaryStorage' (for the default SSVM offering).
update disk_offering set unique_name = 'Cloud.com-ConsoleProxy' where id = 16;
7. Restart CloudStack. This is required because the default offerings are
loaded into memory at start-up.
service cloud-management restart
8. Destroy the existing CPVM or SSVM and wait for it to be recreated. The new
CPVM or SSVM will be configured with the new offering.
Note that CLOUDSTACK-338 seems to be requesting that the string used in
unique_name be change. When that happens, this procedure would need to be
updated with the correct string.
