devs looking to get involved?

[Marcus]

I occasionally have some minor improvement that I need to make to
whatever version of cloudstack we're currently running. This is almost
always behind what is currently being developed, and I don't always
feel like I have time to rebase/refactor it for master. I'm wondering
if there are any individuals out there who are looking for ways to
contribute that I can hand off these little projects to and mentor a
bit. You get an easy project to get your feet wet and I get the
improvements into master without using up time. :-) Maybe this sounds
like laziness on my part, but it seemed like a good idea.

I can post a patch that works for one version, and you can rework it
and test against master. Respond if you're interested, there may be
others who have easy work to farm off as well.

An example, I've made some improvements to the template downloader,
when the first 1M of the template is pulled we attempt to verify that
the image is actually what we think it is (qcow2 or vmdk or whatever)
by looking at the data. Up until now we just check file extension. It
also contains a new TemplateUtils class that has:

+public static boolean isCorrectExtension(String path, String ext) {
+if (path.toLowerCase().endsWith(ext)
+|| path.toLowerCase().endsWith(ext + ".gz")
+|| path.toLowerCase().endsWith(ext + ".bz2")
+|| path.toLowerCase().endsWith(ext + ".zip")) {
+return true;
+}
+return false;
+}

Which can be used to clean up the likes of:

private void checkFormat(String format, String url) {

if((!url.toLowerCase().endsWith("vhd"))&&(!url.toLowerCase().endsWith("vhd.zip"))

&&(!url.toLowerCase().endsWith("vhd.bz2"))&&(!url.toLowerCase().endsWith("vhd.gz"))

Primary and Secondary Storages for VMware

[José Egas López]

Hi there, just a question:

I'm working with CS 4.2.1 and ESXi 5.1.
Which is the best way for adding an storage on this type of implementation?
I mean, if I'm using VMware, is it necessary to configure an NFS Server 
(CentOS NFS Server in my case)?

Or, how can I do about adding storage to CS with VMware?
Thanks!

Re: Importing VMDKs

[Abraham Hoffman]

Hi Dan,

This sounds more like an infrastructure question than a Cloudstack
question. However:

1. DR environments should implement the best practice of being
geographically separate from the primary site (both for security and
failure concerns). If you *must* have your DR on premises, make sure you
are aware of the risks.
2. KVM, QEMU, Libvirt, is a fantastic option when comparing to the VMware
suite of tools. Number one reason? It's free. KVM also supports migrating
VMDK images to QCOW2 or other formats.

If you would like to chat on the phone about your project, I am a
co-founder of a startup in Arizona called "ExpertZero". We are currently
building a data center to support United Way Tucson's VDI deployment as
well as working with a number of National Companies. Overall we will be
supporting 3,800 VDI instances by Q1 of next year, and are using CentOS,
KVM, CloudStack and our custom software to do it.

Send me an E-mail at abe [at] expertzero [dot] com if you would like some
help. I would be happy to work with you gratis on the project and give you
some free advice.

Importing VMDKs

[Dan Belkie]

Hey all!
Brand new to the list, and looking for a private cloud solution for onsite.

In my current office environment I have a pretty large VMware Virtual
Centre deployment, and I am looking to DR it to a private cloud that I will
be building. Yes I could just duplicate my VMware environment in the second
location and use SRM or something like that, but the private cloud solution
will have 3 main purposes:

1) DR for my existing VMware environment.
2) Test and Dev for users in the office where the DR site will be hosted.
(so brand new... now VMware involved).
3) I would like to save money on my VMware licensing.

Now that I have set the stage... I am looking to determine how and what the
process is for taking a VMDK from my VMware environment, and importing it
to a private cloud. I have been searching if this is possible with
cloudstack, and I cant find too much. I would prefer to not have to go
through a long import process if at all possible.

If this is possible can someone point me to some whitepapers or
documentation on how this is done?

Thanks!
Dan

Re: Not able to add primary Storage Cloudstack 4.3

[Tejas Gadaria]

Hi Paul,

I have just join dev-list. So didn't received your mail but I show your
mail in mail-archive. I think I am not using latest system templete iso.

I have downloaded system vm template from
http://download.cloud.com/templates/4.3/systemvm64template-2013-12-23-hyperv.vhd.bz2
please suggest where can I download latest system vm template for hyperv .
I found http://jenkins.buildacloud.org/view/4.3/job/cloudstack-4.3-systemvm/but
hyperv is not available.

While creating SSVM and CPVM, its not able identify any cloudastack
element,except Zone id. and at some point it was searching for Xen
hypervisor, though I was working with hyperv. Now I am not able to delete
SSMV and CPVM, it's in Expunging state since last hour. expunge delay = 60

Regards,
Tejas

Check out the dev list I've just posted an issue with the system vms not 
starting - you might be having the same issue.  check the agent log for:

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for providing API.
I have successfully attached primary storage to cloudstack.

I am facing problem with SSVM and CPVM also, probably I will initiate new
mail-trail ssytem vm issues.

Well, depends. In some circumstances KSM can make a big difference and 
you certainly can't sell VMs with 2 GB ram and not have your customers 
complaining they only got half of that. :)

This is a known issue and it's how it works with other hypervisors, 
too. This feature was not meant to be used in a public cloud (eg selling

Re: Zone DNS, Virtual Routers, and DHCP

[Geoff Higginbottom]

Z,

For public DNS simply point it at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

The internal DNS should not really be running in the cloud as it is used by 
components of the cloud and therefore may not be available when it's required, 
e.g.  during a power on after a outage etc.

We always virtualise the CloudStack Management & MySql servers, and if new DNS 
servers are required simply add 2 Internal DNS VMs at the same time.  These VMs 
run on a set if Hosts which are not part of the Cloud.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Re: The snapshot chain is too long

Hi Yong,

I'm hitting the same problem nowdays. I guess i have left over snapshots 
from failed NFS storage, which was since replaced.
Did you coalesce snapshot chain by hand or did you delete the snapshots 
manually? If so, do you remember how?


Here are my snapshots, and there are currently no snapshot creation

Subject: RE: The snapshot chain is too long

My understand of how snapshot works (XenServer as hypervisor) in CloudStack is:

1. User takes a snapshot of volume either manually or by schedule
2. CloudStack does API call to XS for taking a snapshot of the particular VHD - 
this happens on primary storage
3. CloudStack use SSVM to copy the newly created snapshot (VHD) from prima

Zone DNS, Virtual Routers, and DHCP

[Zack Payton]

Hi dudes,

I'm trying to host DNS off of one of the VMs that I have here in the KVM
cluster.
Any way to set a static IP for a server (or more preferably a static DHCP
lease)?
I tried changing the zone DNS IP to that of my DNS VM but I have to restart
the virtual routers which then causes my DNS VM to get a new IP.  Is the
only real solution here to run my DNS on bare metal?

Thanks,

hm, no, I have gave up on RAM overprovisioning, since I got no good

If you find a solution, I would greatly appriciate it...
