packer for building cloudstack templates
At my company we use packer to build ec2 images and really like it. I would like to use it for cloudstack also. I found this: https://github.com/vogxn/packer-builtin Which appears to be a centos6 image builder for cloudstack but it lacks instructions to convert the resultant image into something I can import to cloudstack. Has anyone successfully done this? How do you build cloudstack templates?
Re: mem.overprovisioning.facto and KVM
Just the cluster should be fine, changing the global will not affect the existing cluster's settings, but newly created clusters will inherit from them.

Looks like it works as of 4.2, but you need to update existing cluster settings, rather than global (or both, I suppose). On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 3:17 PM, Marcus Sorensen wrote: > I guess not.

Re: Need help with advanced zone/2 nics
To update anyone following: I have verified that my switch ports are correct and that both nics are plugged into the the 203 vlan. When I was checking this out, I actually changed the vlan of the storage network to be 203 (from 200) because I think 200 was incorrect. Everything else was the same. I can still ping and connect out from the VR, SSVM and that other system VM, but I cannot get out from the guest VMs. When I do a traceroute to an external interface, the last hop is the VR. When I try to do a ping or something I get Destination Host unreachable. Still at a loss here as to what is going wrong.

RE: Need help with advanced zone/2 nics
I saw those egress rules and I set it to allow all. If I try to ping out, I can see the request going through all of my system vms and the VR.
