Re: Creating Windows Server 2016 template for CloudStack

[Todd Pigram]

You need to specify the xml in the command.

sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown c:\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml.

On w2016, its Autounattend.xml for the file name.

Re: Windows 7 Template

[Todd Pigram]

How about old fashion sysprep with AutoUnattened.xml? As most of my
customers are fully managed, I use that process for all w2012r2, w2k8r2, &
win7 templates. I actually create them on standalone HVs, then upload them
as templates into ACS (old CCP).

Use Windows System Image maker, out of the windows deployment toolkit, to
create the AutoUnattened.xml files. Place that in the
%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep dir. when ready run this

Sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown
/unattend:c:\windows\system32\sysprep\Autounattend.xml. then create the
template.

You can even put the Chef client, puppet client, chocolatey or boxstarter
on the images if need be.

The images that I use have Chef client and chocolatey installed. These are
vanilla builds. I do everything thing on them with Chef after i spin them
up. (I install the choclatey apps with Chef from an in house nuget server
and chocolatey gallery).

just my $0.02

Re: How to configure cloudstack for public use

[Todd Pigram]

Luis, 

As some who bypasses the VR and uses pfsense, I highly recommend that you use 
ADV zones and use true public IP on the public interface. 

In my case I was required to create a custom VR that only has source NAT and an 
internal IP for public. The only issue is access to the console as you will be 
Nat'ing a source NAT. 
I have also had to do this with a Cisco Meraki MX80 and it has the same issues.

Re: expand root disk type volume

[Todd Pigram]

Sonali,

I update the DB first, then do the instance.

If your using ISCSI, have the XE command ready as there is a brief moment 
before the instance disappears where it will turn red in XenCenter, that is 
when you want to execute the xe command. Its ugly be works.

 I believe there has been some recent work to allow the size of the

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

I understand this but in the case of MS SQL it will use all the memory that
is available to Windows. As in my case a DDC with SQL was using 31.5gb of
ram while looking in perfmon. But the system offering was limited to 8GB.

Basically Dynamic Scales works but is bad for SQL servers. I just turned it
off.

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

Is this fixed in 4.5.1 as the issue is not listed in the release notes under 
CS-27425/CS-21217?

As a FYI, on the one VM the new tools worked but not on any others. I had to 
set ‘enable.dynamic.scale.vm’ to false, restart management service. Then I have 
to shutdown the instance. then start, to get the right memory. A reboot doesn’t 
fix it.

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

Well its seems to be a XS Tools issue. I am waiting to here back from support 
on the ‘Official’ word, but with the new tools installed and the Dynamic 
Scalable option set, I am currently running like I was before the upgrade to 
CCP 4.3.0.2.

At this point it is closed.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

Vadium,

Yes to both with the new tools from XS62ESP1028. Both Windows and CentOS have 
‘Dynamic Scalable’ Option selected and in XenCenter they show the correct RAM.

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

Vadium,

After installing XS62ESP1028 via CLI (no reboot on hosts yet) and building an 
Centos65 instance w/o ‘Dynamic Scalable’ option checked, it showed right in 
XenCenter. I installed the new tools from (XS62ESP1028) and still good. I 
created a template from this instance. Deployed said template, and the memory 
is still good in XenCenter.

I tested on a Windows VM and it is the same with the new tools, however, as 
this particular tenant bypasses the virtual router, I have to reboot twice and 
reset networking as the new XenTools reset the networking stack.

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

Vadim

I have 3 other pools (1 XS6.2sp1 and 2x xs65sp1)  I have no issue with
these.

Based on the Design doc, what i was experiencing is by design. Ok I will
turn it off.

But now my question is, why on 4.3 I didn't have this issue but after
installing 4.3.0.2 it changed.

Was 4.3 broken or is 4.3.0.2? Will upgrading to CCP 4.5.1 will be better?

If this is truely by design, I will not be able to use dynamic scalable for
my windows instances

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

Ok. After rebooting the instance still no change after disabling globally. I 
modified all my templates to remove ‘Dynamic Scalable’,  then I have to 
shutdown every instance and unselect ‘Dynamic Scalable’, then restart for it to 
be correct.

This may need to be looked at closer for a Windows/XenDesktop(XenApp) 
environment as MS SQL will consume all the RAM windows sees.

My other question is why CCP 4.3 (which is certified for Citrix Ready for IaaS 
for XD) didn’t have this issue until I upgraded to 4.3.0.2 in July. This 
feature was released in 4.2…..

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

Thanks.

Just funny that on CCP 4.3 it wasn’t an issue and only after upgrading to 
4.3.0.2 and a host reboot did it change my instances.

This issue is that the instance below is a SQL server. As Windows see 32GB, it 
shows the used RAM in windows as 31.6GB. The Server only has 8GB. That is what 
really is the issue. Causing slowness for my users.

I have set ‘enable.dynamic.scale.vm’  to false and restarted 
cloudstack-management. I will reboot an instance that is out of prod and let 
you know the results.

Dynamic Scalable Template issue

[Todd Pigram]

Just wondering if anyone has seen similar. I already have a case open. But 
seeing if the forum has an answer?

Issue, Upgraded to CCP 4.3.0.2 back in July. Afterwards everything was great. 
Hosts rebooted two weeks ago. Any instance built with a template with Dynamic 
Scalable set to yes, shows in XenCenter as min/max memory as what system 
offering is but has a Static Max of 4x the RAM.

Screen shot of instance built from template with Dynamic Scalable = yes

<https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/AQ_xkMQhmBsJuKALKJ5vBnjKBWkv3JXG-X1pm5S52Ks?feat=directlink>


Now if I build a new w2012r2 template without Dynamic Scalable, it works as it 
should. But I lose the ability to Dynamically scale.

Screenshots of instance built form template without Dynamic Scaling and also in 
XC

Anyone aware if this is fixed in CCP/ACS 4.5.1? Has anyone seen this?

The XenServer Hosts are patched through XS62ESP1027.

Re: Stoping CloudStack Agent

[Todd Pigram]

Not that I am aware. CloudStack is greenfield solution. Your hosts have to
be empty before adding. My suggestion is to export your VMs, put them on a
web server. Add your host, upload you VMs at a template and redeploy.

Re: Network without Virtual Router (2)

[Todd Pigram]

1. Create a new network offering with only 'Source NAT' using virtual
router.  - Has to have this or you won't be able to select from list when
selecting router on Isolated network creation.
2. Create a new domain(test)
3. Dedicate the VLAN to that domain (so if your guest network is 200-210)
dedicate 200-200 to test
4. create an isolated test-network with the default gateway as x.x.x.2 (as
you have router/firewall as .1 elsewhere on the network)
5. spin you VMs via UI. ACS/CCP will try and assign IP, but without w/o
DHCP/DNS, it will just show on Instance, Nics tab the IP it thinks it
assigned.
6. either have DHCP elsewhere or hardcode the IP but with what shows on
Nics tab, but with the .1 gateway.

I have done this with both PfSense and Meraki firewalls.

Hope this helps.

Minor Windows Sysprep Autounattend.xml issue. Anyone else seen this?

[Todd Pigram]

Background

I have 3 different Autounattend files for w2012r2, w2012 and w2k8r2. If I
create templates from these files on XS 6.2 Sp1, vSphere 5.5u1 or add the
templates to vCloud, everything thing is fine and there is no user
interaction. I can even use then as part of Veewee to create my personal
base boxes for Chef testing.

Issue

Whether I upload the XS 6.2 templates to with ACS4.3 or CCP4.3, or if I
build from ISO and sys prep with the same Autounattend.xml, I am always
prompted to accept the EULA even though it is set to false in the XMLs.
Its just a check box, next, next , but I am wondering why?

Has anyone else seen this?

The templates are bare bone with some patches, latest Chef client installed
along with client.rb and validation.pem. Once the instances are up, run a
quick chef-client and Chef handles the rest

Thanks

Re: Traditional Windows workloads and Cloudstack

[Todd Pigram]

Junaid,

what did you set the the network rate to in the exchange service offering?
Depending on your backend network setup for that offering you may get
better results with setting it to a '0' for unlimited. On my internal CCP,
our SQL servers service offering has network rate to '0' as I am using a 4
NIC LACP bond.

just food for thought

Todd

Did you remove the Tags on each XenServer host prior to starting?Management Controller Failure and Replacement

In setting up your cloud, you should have a backup routine for your controller. The most important item to back up is the MySQL databases that Cloudstack uses.

Re: unable to add nfs primary storage with xenserver hosts

[Todd Pigram]

Interesting… I will definitely look into this as I just re-read the Admin guide 
about that. I am glad I over provisioned the physical storage for our internal 
needs. 

Thanks Geoff!

BTW, where you at the conference last week and the luncheon?

Re: unable to add nfs primary storage with xenserver hosts

[Todd Pigram]

When I setup the exports on my Netapp, they were set to thin provisioned prior 
to adding to XS. Just like if this was a regular implementation without 
CCP/ACS. Just letting my NetApp Edge T appliances handle the Thin provisioning 
and snap mirror.  Interesting though, I will look into it, but it seems to be 
working correctly. Thanks

Re: unable to add nfs primary storage with xenserver hosts

[Todd Pigram]

Yes. Works with basic or advanced zones. Setup the storage via XenCenter as
a NFS VHD. Also works with ISCI. I have done it both ways.

Re: unable to add nfs primary storage with xenserver hosts

[Todd Pigram]

Len,

I have found that it is better to presetup the primary storage on XS6.1 then 
while adding in the via CCP UI, select PreSteup and provide the storage tag. 
Works like a champ. This how i have my Prod and test environments going to 
NetApp and Dev environments going to a Whiptail.

Re: Cloudstack VDI

[Todd Pigram]

Jan,

Probably wrong mailing list, but once Citrix's Project Avalon is complete, you 
will be able to add CloudPlatform (commercial version of ACS from Citrix) as a 
host in XenDesktop. Avalon has two releases Excalibur and Merlin. I would stay 
tuned as Synergy is around the corner.
