NO it won't impact guet vms .destroy the  ssvm and cpvm , it will recreate 
again and  during that  time you can't create new guest vms.

Re: Windows Template Question

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, John.  The delay is probably due to the devices being re-detected.
This step is likely unnecessary so try enabling PersistAllDeviceInstalls
[1] in your XML to skip it.  Let us know how it goes.

RE: Help with CloudStack using Local Storage

[Suresh Sadhu]

Does your xen host has vhd-utill  in right location ?

It seems its unable to access  your storage, this kind of error were noticed 
earlier when vhd-util is not exists in right location.


Also for localstorage: 

You need enable the flag  during zone creation and  also set the global 
configuration parameters as mentioned by Geoff earlier.

VMware Datastore Question

[Jeff Barnett]

I am planning on adding a zone that is supported by VMware, I was wondering if 
I should stick with what I normally do in my VMware clusters that is to have 
datastores that are no larger than 2 TB, but the question I had with that is 
how does Cloudstack tell the VMware cluster to create the instance on different 
datastores, is it as simple as adding a primary storage for each of the 
datastores?

I checked the repository, but just precise directory was there.
Are there anybody have information about Trusty support? (4.2 for me)

RE: Windows Template Question

[Geoff Higginbottom]

Whilst ilya is right that windows post sysprep time are not technically 
anything to do with CloudStack, if you are experiencing very slow boot times it 
could be a sign of general poor performance somewhere in the 
hypervisor/network/storage stack.

On a very modest test system my windows VMs deploy from a sys prep template in 
circa 6 mins, and after that boot from cold and log into to a desktop in a 
little over 1 minute.

On production grade hardware the initial deployment should only take a couple 
of minutes at most, and then cold starts should be circa 30 secs.

Here are my observed timings on a very low spec test lab:

After approx 1 min simple text message "setup is updating registry"
Then Setup is starting services with glowing bar below
2 mins 30 "setup is applying system settings"
2 mins 45 "setup will continue after restarting your computer"
4 mins (after a reboot) "setup is preparing your computer for first use"
4 Mins 30 - Prompt to accepts terms (we can automate this but this template 
forces the user to accept)  - windows is finalizing your settings
6 mins - logged in and fully activated

Windows is capable of consuming thousands of IOPS during its boot phase, this 
is why modern laptops with SSDs boot in around 10 secs, but if you are limiting 
your VMs to have only 50 IOPS available to them then expect 10+ minute boot 
times.

Unless you don't have windows AD - and dont care about unique SIDs, then you 
could just clone windows VMs as is, but you should not have any uniformed

Really sure ? :P

ok, so i will start to configure the zone.

the last question:

Configuring the primary storage on the zone i have to choose preSetup and put 
the Name of the Local Storage displayed on XenCenter (i'm using XenServer 6.2 )?

Thanks for answer.


I changed the option in global settings system.vm.use.local.storage to true.

Now. the system offering System Offering For Secondary Storage VM and
System Offering For Console Proxy said that the Storage Type are local
But. they use the Small instance Compute offering that are shared storage
type and it's impossible to change it.

So. i created a new service offering with local storage. but now. How can I
define that the Secondary Storage VM and the Console Proxy use this service
offering?

In general. how can I change the default service offering for this VMM's ?

RE: Windows Template Question

[Geoff Higginbottom]

John,

I've just spun up a Windows 2008 R2 Web Edition VM in my lab to test this for 
you.  The Template was sysprepped has an unattend answer file, cloudstack 
password reset package etc.

My test rig is NOT enterprise grade hardware so I do not expect great 
performance, however I can login to the instance within 6 mins (I would expect 
this be only a few minutes on decent Kit, but it all depends on the Storage 
IOPs).   Furthermore, we make the VM auto activate on first boot so when the 
user logs in, there are no activation messages, as well as run a number of post 
boot scripts to clean up all the unattend settings.

I noted down the various boot messages and their times:

After approx 1 min simple text message "setup is updating registry"
Then Setup is starting services with glowing bar below
2 mins 30 "setup is applying system settings"
2 mins 45 "setup will continue after restarting your computer"
4 mins (after a reboot) "setup is preparing your computer for first use"
4 Mins 30 - Prompt to accepts terms (we can automate this but this templates 
forces the user to accept)  - windows is finalizing your settings
6 mins - logged in and fully activated

Looking at you unattend.xml it has a number of differences to mine, and 
includes what I believe are invalid settings such as the locales etc.  Mine are 
set to en-GB with the exception of  which has to be set to en-US 
(at least it did last time I researched this)

Here is a sample unattend.xml, try this to see if improves things and let me 
know how you get on.

Hello Chaps,

I have a question that nobody seems to be able to answer for me, so I thought 
I’d try my luck with you guys.

When I first deployed our CloudStack and captured a windows template, the 
resulting windows VMs would take about 2 minutes from being requested to being 
deployed and up. The problem here was that windows prompted for a product key 
prior to displaying the logon screen and wouldn’t allow logon (either local or 
remote) until that was entered.

Naturally I applied an unattend.xml (pasted Below) to put the product key in 
automatically which solved the problem and made everything work perfectly, 
however my Windows VMs don’t deploy in 2 minutes anymore, they take 12 minutes… 
most of which is a black screen with ‘Preparing your computer for first use’ on 
it.

I realise that 12 minutes isn’t a bad time from request to being online and 
ready, however It would be brilliant if I could get this back down to the 
couple of minutes it was originally.

Any thoughts?

Thanks guys!!

Re: Help with CloudStack using Local Storage

[Ian Duffy]

Hi Hollman,

To bring up your system vms on a hypervisor with primary storage supplied
by local storage you will need to change the Global settings option
for system.vm.use.local.storage to be true.

You will need to create new service offerings and disk offerings as
required to enable local storage to be used on user brought up vms.

Hope this helps,

Ian

Help with CloudStack using Local Storage

[Hollman Enciso R.]

Hello all.

I need to install a new instance of cloudstack for my developers. So I have
a small infrastructure (1 hypervisor and 2 VM (nfs and management server))

I installed the management server and deployed the zone ok using primary
and secondary storage on the same VM (NFS) but i haven't enought memory.
so. i wanna know how can i deploy my zone using the local storage of the
hypervisor as a primary storage to run the proxy, SSVM and the client
instances?

Any reference or manual?

thanks a lot

Subject: Windows Template Question

Hello Chaps,

I have a question that nobody seems to be able to answer for me, so I thought 
I’d try my luck with you guys.

When I first deployed our CloudStack and captured a windows template, the 
resulting windows VMs would take about 2 minutes from being requested to being 
deployed and up. The problem here was that windows prompted for a product key 
prior to displaying the logon screen and wouldn’t allow logon (either local or 
remote) until that was entered.

Naturally I applied an unattend.xml (pasted Below) to put the product key in 
automatically which solved the problem and made everything work perfectly, 
however my Windows VMs don’t deploy in 2 minutes anymore, they take 12 minutes… 
most of which is a black screen with ‘Preparing your computer for first use’ on 
it.

I realise that 12 minutes isn’t a bad time from request to being online and 
ready, however It would be brilliant if I could get this back down to the 
couple of minutes it was originally.

Any thoughts?

Thanks guys!!

RE: Failed to create Template from all child Snapshots

[Venkata Suneel Babu Mallela]

I've checked the ".vhd" and "template.proprties" files on first CloudStack 
setup(Healthy one).

In second CloudStack setup (Unhealthy one) ".vhd" and "template.properties" 
files are not creating while template creation. I'm able to create volumes from 
child snapshots.

The problem only with template creation from child snapshot.

You can compare on your two setups whether template.properties files which its 
trying to find and failing to get in case of child snapshot, is available in 
secondary storage at specified location for child snapshots .

Thanks for your reply, 

This is happening only for one CloudStack setup. I checked with other 
CloudStack setup, it's working fine.

I compared the following things for both setups,

Cloud database tables   -   cloud.volumes, cloud.snapshots and 
cloud.snapshots
Secondary Storage   -   from SSVM checked the physical vhd files using 
vhd-utils

Please suggest if anything I missed, I'm using ACS 4.2.0 and XenServer 6.0.2,

Re: How to change primary storage

[Giri Prasad]

I have a new install of CS 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  I currently dont have any 
vm's or applications or volumes configured or running on the CS 4.1. Basically 
a freshly installed Ubuntu kernel and CS 4.1.


The storage setup on the Ubuntu host pc is

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary on /mnt/primary1

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/secondary on /mnt/secondary

The external disk (My Book Live disk) is configured as 

XXX.XXX.1.20:/nfs/Public/primary on /mnt/primary

    This external disk is configured in Linux host using : apt-get install 
smbfs. The external disk is mounting and is read/write-able in the Linux host.

Now, I want to add the external disk (XXX.XXX.1.20) as the primary storage and 
remove the (local hdd) primary storage XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary.

 So, if I just add the XXX.XXX.1.20  as the primary storage in CS, and remove 
1.5:/export/primary will do? Or some other procedure?


Please take note that I have used only smfs, for mounting.

You can probably change the host_address field of the storage_pool table to 
change the IP address of your primary storage.

You will probably want to make sure you don't have any (non-deleted) volumes on 
the storage pool (primary storage) in question, though.

As you likely have seen, the volumes table is linked to the storage_pool table 
via the storage_pool.id and volumes.pool_id fields.

It might be easier for you to create new primary storage and migrate your 
volumes on the old primary storage to the new primary storage.

Hi Suneel,

While deploying VM you can specify the ip address for the VM in API.
If the vm is already deployed then you can acquire secondary ip to the nic and 
configure the ip in the VM using ip addr command.

Thanks,
