RE: ConsoleProxy not starting up
Can you check if your systemvm.iso is copied to your host and also try to copy vhd-util to your XS host at /opt/xensource/bin if your XS host is a brand new setup . Sometimes the systemvm.iso is not found on your host when you build the repo and the systemVM's continue to remain in the starting state.

RE: Porting VMWare virtual setup into CloudStack
It is most probably feasible to add a cluster managed by Cloudstack but not recommended or supported. Certainly I would not add an existing cluster as that could be asking for trouble. From my experience, it has issues with performance as Cloudstack talks via https to the vc api and is quite chatty and you may get undesired results, for example, Cloudstack not being able to manage VMs in virtual center correctly and even possible loss of data. We tried this in the early days of VMware integration with Cloudstack and the environment just did not work as expected. Tasks in VC just failed or never executed correctly.

RE: Porting VMWare virtual setup into CloudStack
When you say convert, I'm not certain whats implied. You may have to make it more streamlined (create several templates and install apps on top), unless you want to manage many templates and convert each VM as template to be imported into CS. You can certainly tie your existing VC with CS. CS will only manage what it deployed. Meaning if you have other VMs that you deployed independent of CloudStack, they will run on their own and CS wont know about them. It would be cleaner to have a separate vSphere cluster, but in my opinion it's not a hard requirement - I've yet to see an issue. If you properly spec out your virtual infrastructure, I don't believe there is going to be issues. I run my non prod environments with CloudStack but its not solely dedicated for CS only and other platforms used it as well. To make an example: 1 VC, manages about 32 hypervisors, 6 clusters and 1000 VMs. I have had no issues with vSphere 5 and CS 4.1 (custom build to support DVS). My prod environment will have a dedicate cluster for cloudstack, but I will still use the same virtual center that will manage other non CS managed clusters. Its all about your design and if you properly spec your environment.

Re: CS migrations
Hi, Pierre. Primary storage is per cluster only, and cannot be attached to multiple clusters or pods. If you try it with XenServer, the likely result will be data corruption. It is possible to migrate VMs and volumes to different clusters by using API calls. 1. Stop the VM. 2. Detach data disks (if any). 3. Call migrateVirtualMachine[1] for the VM. 4. Call migrateVolume[2] for the data disks (if any). 5. Attach data disks (if any). 6. Start the VM.

Re: CS migrations
Thank you Kirk, That is the answer I was looking for. Now I just need to figure out a new strategy. The main issue here is that we have a cloud environment that was based on Basic Networking and we would like to move to Advanced Networking since there is no way of doing this other than building a new cloud. So I figured that I would build another set of CS 4.1 with a pod of 2 Xenserver hosts with advance networking then migrate the VM's over but I'm no longer sure how I can achieve that since I can not really duplicate my primary storage environment. Looks like it's a one way thing with cloudstack :( Any ideas? -pk On Tue, 2013-04-02 at 13:03 -0700, Kirk Kosinski wrote: Hi, Pierre.

Re: CS migrations
Is live migration a requirement or can you do the steps that Kirk suggested? If using NFS, can't you export a separate path for your new cloud and won't CS see that as a different primary storage? On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 1:59 PM, Pierre Kossaras pierre.kossa...@manwin.comwrote: Thank you Kirk, That is the answer I was looking for. Now I just need to figure out a new strategy. The main issue here is that we have a cloud environment that was based on Basic Networking and we would like to move to Advanced Networking since there is no way of doing this other than building a new cloud. So I figured that I would build another set of CS 4.1 with a pod of 2 Xenserver hosts with advance networking then migrate the VM's over but I'm no longer sure how I can achieve that since I can not really duplicate my primary storage environment. Looks like it's a one way thing with cloudstack :( Any ideas? -pk On Tue, 2013-04-02 at 13:03 -0700, Kirk Kosinski wrote: Hi, Pierre. Primary storage is per cluster only, and cannot be attached to multiple clusters or pods. If you try it with XenServer, the likely result will be data corruption. It is possible to migrate VMs and volumes to different clusters by using API calls. 1. Stop the VM. 2. Detach data disks (if any). 3. Call migrateVirtualMachine[1] for the VM. 4. Call migrateVolume[2] for the data disks (if any). 5. Attach data disks (if any). 6. Start the VM.

ubuntu cloud images
Does someone have a script or step by step instructions to take one of the files from: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/ and create a template for cloudstack? thank you Carlos
Re: ubuntu cloud images
Hi, Carlos. The KVM image runs fine when imported as a template to CloudStack and deployed. However I don't know how to setup the credentials to log in. The image may need to be modified slightly to get SSH keys or a root password from CloudStack. It might be easier to just create your own template from VM installed from ISO.

Re: Additional IP Assignment
What type of network in CloudStack is the VM using, and what exactly is the problem or error? For a basic zone with security groups it might not be possible without hacking the iptables/ebtables on the host running the VM. For a shared network it will probably work, provided your network infrastructure is configured to allow it.
