I looked at it a bit, still beyond me, but the actual null pointer is: for(HostAllocator allocator : _hostAllocators) { _hostAllocators is locally defined in this file, but empty. I'm not sure what should be calling 'setHostAllocators'. protected List<HostAllocator> _hostAllocators; public List<HostAllocator> getHostAllocators() { return _hostAllocators; } public void setHostAllocators(List<HostAllocator> _hostAllocators) { this._hostAllocators = _hostAllocators; } On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 11:49 AM, Chip Childers <chip.child...@sungard.com>wrote: > CLOUDSTACK-2158 is a blocker bug for 4.1.0, and I need an allocator > expert to review and fix if required. > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2158 > > 'userconcentratedpod_firstfit failed to find alternate host to run VM > > Marcus laid out the situation in the bug itself. > > Help please! > > -chip >
