Re: Upgrading XenServer Clusters managed by ACS...
I suspect the answer is a qualified "maybe/yes"? A couple (humble) thoughts as it sounds like you've got the two upgrades in mind: - focus first on the upgrade path to the latest ACS 4.*.* that still supports XS 6.2.0 - determine the upgrade path from XS 6.2.0 to XCP 8.2 (not sure - just something work considering - maybe you'd need/want to upgrade to XS 6.5/7.* first?) - (sorry to be pedantic), lab it all up & test before doing anything in production! I'd defer to Andrija (& the rest of the list!) for any other advice.

Re: Upgrading XenServer Clusters managed by ACS...
Reporting in on this - turns out was fairly painless (I never ended up goofing around with host tags at all). Here's an updated to-do list (with some observations): 1. In XenCenter – if HA is enabled for the XenServer pool, disable it 2. Stop ACS management/usage services 3. Do MySQL database backups 4. Start ACS management/usage services 5. Start with the pool master * In ACS – Put the pool master into maintenance mode (this migrate all guest VMs to other hosts in the cluster) * In ACS – Un-manage the cluster (this keeps any activity from happening in the pool) * NOW – Upgrade the XenServer pool master to the latest release i. Do this by picking up the “correct” ISO from Citrix, burning it to a CD/DVD/USB-stick, booting the host with it & performing a manual upgrade to the version of XenServer you’re going to ii. Before upgrading the installer should make a backup of the existing installation iii. When the upgrade is complete you’ll be prompted to reboot the host iv. OBSERVATION (after booting): * The XenServer console (the ncurses interface) still said XenServer 6.5 in the upper-left-hand corner (which led me to believe that the upgrade hadn’t worked) * However when I reconnected with XenCenter it reported XenServer 7.1 CU2 was installed * So…OK, fine? * There were no host tags for that newly upgraded host, so my to-do to remove the tag wasn’t necessary * In ACS – Re-manage the cluster * In ACS – Exit maintenance-mode for the newly upgraded host * In ACS – Observe that the newly upgraded host is “Enabled” and “Up” in the UI (Infrastructure > Hosts) * OBSERVATION: i. After finishing the 2 steps above on checking in XenCenter the host now had the host tag: vmops-version-com.cloud.hypervisor.xenerver.resource.XenServer650Resource-4.11.3.0 ii. Scripts in /opt/cloud/bin have a timestamp that coincides with the cluster being re-managed and the pool master coming out of maintenance mode 1. In ACS – Testing (e.g. move an existing router/VM to the upgraded host, create new networks/VMs on the upgraded host) i. OBSERVATION: * Moving existing router/VMs to the upgraded host worked * I was not able to create new VMs until all pool members were at the same level of XenServer 1. Rinse & repeat with the remaining XenServer pool members in the ACS cluster * Follow the same steps as the pool master EXCEPT do not un-manage/re-manage the cluster in ACS (no need to do so really although from the perspective of operators new VM creation is clearly not possible until were done and who knows maybe you don’t really want folks trying to take actions while you’re in the middle of all this?) * OBSERVATION (unexpected): i. I noticed that even before I had brought a newly upgraded pool member out of maintenance in ACS that the following host tag vmops-version-com.cloud.hypervisor.xenerver.resource.XenServer650Resource-4.11.3.0 was already there ii. AND that the Scripts in /opt/cloud/bin had a timestamp that coincides with the pool member’s recent reboot 1. In XenCenter – if HA was enabled at the start, re-enable it So my lab pool is up and running upgraded from XenServer 6.5 to XenServer 7.1.2 CU2 LTSR and so far, CloudStack 4.11.3 seems to be happy with it. Next steps are to apply the latest XenServer hotfixes (following the same recipe above) and re-test activities in ACS.

Re: Upgrading XenServer Clusters managed by ACS...
Andrija,
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. I'm getting my ducks in a row
on the XenServer side (for the upgrade) & I'll give the plan a go.
I'll report in afterwards, wish me luck!

Hi David,
with a bit of delay...
those steps need to be tested - I would skip the whole
"environment.properties" file and see how it behaves today - the reason
being that, though the article on shapeblue.com was old, it does mention
both "Unmanage" cluster and Maintenace mode - so I'm not quite sure what is
the difference today vs. how it behaved back in time of ACS 4.3 / XS 6.2 -
the explanation that you've found on the mailing thread may not make sense,
I mean specifically the "There wasn't an 'unmanage' button at the time",
since the article clearly mentions it).
There is also no need to manually migrate VM's away from a host (i.e. pool
master) - simply put it into the Maintenance mode and it will move VMs away
to other hosts.
Assuming that putting the pool-master into Maintenance mode in ACS will,
these days, NOT trigger a new host to become a master, your steps look fine.
For the records, I've updated& the official documentation, for
XenServer 6.5+ : https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-documentation/pull/140
/
https://acs-www.shapeblue.com/docs/WIP-PROOFING/pr140/installguide/hypervisor/xenserver.html#upgrading-xenserver-versions
-
i.e. removed unneeded steps and explained what each script is doing. This
guide assumes a much longer management plane downtime, as the cluster is
unmanaged while you update all the hosts in the pool. Works fine also for
XCP-ng upgrades, etc.
Either way, I prefer doing it based on the plan you laid out here.

Andrija

Upgrading XenServer Clusters managed by ACS...
loudstack.apache.org/en/latest/installguide/hypervisor/xenserver.html#upgrading-xenserver-versions which asks one to run a lot of scripts (cleaning VLANs, preparing for upgrade etc.) in addition to copying files from the management server to the XenServer host (to set it back up again for ACS). I’m really hoping that step 11 saves me from that. So (asks after all): 1. Is this a reasonable/viable plan? 2. Is my take on step 7 correct?

Re: CloudStack - Ubuntu/KVM (all in one management-server/host) - OS Upgrade w/o updating System VMs
Reporting in, I was able to roll-back the cloudstack packages and reload the
backup of the cloud database and get the UI going again.
So that's good, but a couple questions on this page (and registering the
template in the UI):
-
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/upgrading/upgrade/upgrade-4.11.html#update-system-vm-templates
1. I understand it's important to use the values specified, I assume setting
the "name" specifically as stated is what helps cloudstack "find" the new
templates when upgrading the database?
2. In the UI there's an HVM checkbox (that's defaulted to checked), but the
documentation (above) doesn't specifically refer to it. So for my clarity
(hopefully I just need to be remided), leave it checked or unchecked? Does it
matter in the context of the system VMs?
Thanks!

There are ways to hack the DB, vm_template table and also use the

your test env) is a much better way to proceed.

CloudStack - Ubuntu/KVM (all in one management-server/host) - OS Upgrade w/o updating System VMs
Hi All,
I've got a CloudStack 4.11.2 lab running on a single host & made the (dumb)
mistake of running OS updates without updating the system VMs beforehand. The
CloudStack packages upgraded to 4.11.3 just fine but now CloudStack management
services wont start (see below).
Here's my question:
- Is it *at all* possible to rectify this (now, post package updates) by
getting the new system templates in via the CLI tools
(/usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt)?
- The error on the logs *seems* simple, if management could find the new
template maybe things could proceed?
My impression is no given research I've done so far which seems to amount to:
- roll back to 4.11.2
- use the pre-upgrade dump of the DB (which I made)
- start management services
- get the new system VMs properly (like I should have in the first place)
- upgrade to 4.11.3
Humbly (& slightly embarrassed) yours, and thanks,
David

Re: integrated cloudstack with XCP-ng 7.6
I haven't tried it yet (and would like to), in every conversation I'd had with Dag suggested that one simply proceeded by treating a XCP-ng host as a Xen host. I was just searching the 4.13 code (it's what I have on hand) and can only find references to XCP-ng 7.4 (presumably because that's what been tested?)

Re: Controlled shutdown post-partial-switch failure...
Checking in on this, I pulled the MGMT NICs from the failed switch and the Xen
hosts mgmt.-bond "switched" over to the other (working) network-switch. I now
have control of the hosts in CloudStack & proceed with the controlled-shutdown
so I can then get my switch repair on.

Controlled shutdown post-partial-switch failure...
Hi All, I’m fielding an worrisome emergency situation where a set of (2) stacked switches (serving the MGMT & SAN networks) has partially failed (one of the stack members was ejected). Here’s what I’ve got: * The Xen hosts 2 MGMT NICs are bonded (active-passive) and connected to both switches * The Xen hosts 2 SAN NICs are NOT bonded and connected to both switches * PUB/GUEST NICs are connected to a different set of stacked switches (and are fine) Amazingly CloudStack has survived (guest VMs are still running, there’s been no disk issues). However I’ve got one compute-cluster (of 6 Xen hosts) in an alert state (as the pool master is affected) in the CloudStack UI (and cannot manage guests there) and I cannot get to their MGMT interfaces (going to hop on the hosts today and get more intel). A replacement switch is arriving in 24 hours & I’m preparing the switch-swap process. I’d REALLY like to shut everything down (guest VM’s) before mucking about with the switch-stack serving the SAN network, but I think I have to get to the host MGMT NICs sorted first (my suspicion is that the bonded MGMT NICS haven’t failed over – due t the nature of the switch failure maybe? – I’m considering pulling the MGMT NIC connections on the failed switch to see if I can get a path back). Anyway, not really much of an ask here, talking myself through it as I ride the tiger. Thanks.

KVM - configuring libvirtd for use...
Hi All, I’m having a go with this: * https://rohityadav.cloud/blog/cloudstack-kvm/ I’m running into a funny problem w/libvirtd on KVM where edits I make to * /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf revert to default values. Specifically “listen_tcp” gets set *back* to 0 after I’ve set it to 1 and restarted the libvrtd service. I end up in a place where I’ve arranged things to be able to add the KVM host but find that I can’t because libvirtd is now not listening on tcp port 16509. I might be out of scope asking here (maybe it’s more of a Ubuntu/KVM/libvrtd thing (it’s bizarre, *something* is changing that conf file - I’m just not sure what it is yet and/or I’ve made some assumption out here on the bleeding edge of Ubuntu 18.04 & the latest ACS), but I’ve searched a bit and haven’t found a good line on someone else having this problem. Has anyone run into this before?

Re: TAP/SPAN...
I'd hoped I could simply "mirror the VLAN" to a specific interface on the
switch, but Dell Support says I cannot pull this off with the switches we have
in place.
So, I'm back to considering mucking with the client's virtual router.
What this site suggests:
* https://networkhop.wordpress.com/2016/04/27/port-mirroring-with-iptables/
seems reasonable (in principle):
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -j TEE –gateway a.b.c.d
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -j TEE –gateway a.b.c.d
and easy enough to undo (in principle).
Downsides include:
1. Overhead associated with duplicating packets
2. Redoing it should the router need to be recreated (presuming that any edits
wouldn't stick).
Surely I can't be the only one to have considered doing something like this,
maybe folks run some a 3rd-party virtual appliance to get this kind of thing
done?

If so, just SPAN that vlan to another port on your switch and tap it there.

Retiring OLD Primary Storage - Dealing with System VMs and (assumed) Snapshot related artifacts
Hi All, We're in the process of phasing out primary storage in one of our zones and had some questions about dealing with: 1. system VMs (Console Proxy & Secondary Storage) 2. what looks like (to me), left over snapshot artifacts We're running CloudPlatform 4.5.1 with XenServer hypervisors and the storage to be retired are Dell Equallogic servers. For the first item I think all I need to do is mark the primary storage on the Dell EQL's into maintenance mode and then destroy them so that they'll come up on the new primary storage (already provisioned & configured in CloudPlatform). It's the second item that's giving me pause, when looking at the SR associated with the primary storage I'm seeing disks named like: * ABCServer_ROOT-685_20160905000250 and in CloudPlatform have found an associated volume snapshot with the same date data. This seemed odd because I've understood that volume snapshots should be on secondary storage. I deleted the snapshot in CloudPlatform thinking that perhaps the disk above would disappear from view when looking at the SR in XenCenter, but it's still there. The impression I'm getting is that perhaps this is left over from some volume snapshot failure to clean up? How can I best chase this down? I'd like to retire this storage but I'd like to make sure that once it's gone there isn't something in the database that's still referring items there. Thanks, David A Message From...
