CloudStack Vs HP CSA

[Huzefa Hussain]

Hi

I am trying to compare Cloud Stack with HP CSA. HP CSA is super costly so I
am trying to search for an alternative. It seems Cloud Stack can do the job
but I am not very sure. Can some one in the list please help me and suggest
if following use cases can be worked out using Cloud Stack or with
combination of other open source tools.



*Use Case #*

*Use Case Name*

*Description*

1

Provision and Patch OS (via CSA)

*Provision virtual infrastructure with OS *
* CSA: Subscriber requests Windows VMware VM with vCenter
* Subscriber selects patching policy to apply to server
* Submit request - VM is provisioned
*Patch*
* Show how subscriber can check OS patching compliance status
* Show how user can request remediation

2

Provision and Patch Database (via CSA)

*Provision virtual infrastructure with OS and Oracle database  *
* CSA: Subscriber requests  Linux VMware VM with vCenter
* Subscriber enters database name
* Submit request - VM with OS and Oracle SI DB is provisioned
*Patch*
* Show how subscriber can check Database patching compliance status
* Show how user can request patching

3

OS Compliance

*Provision virtual infrastructure with OS  *
* CSA: Enter provisioned windows server on portal
- Subscriber selects PCI or SOX audit policy(ies) to apply to server
- Submit request - VM is put under SA management (agent installed) and
audit policies applied
*Audit*
- Show how subscriber can request audit compliance scan
- Portal show status (compliant/non-compliant) and detailed e-mail sent to
subscriber
- Show how user can request remediation

4

Database Compliance (via CSA)

Go to CSA portal
* Provision virtual infrastructure with OS & Oracle Database
* Subscriber enters e-mail to send compliance report
* Subscriber requests Run CIS Compliance Check
* DMA Compliance workflow is run, and pass/fail

5

Self-Healing Remediation

*Provision demo target VM *
* CSA: Subscriber requests VMware VM with vCenter
* SiteScope monitors for filesystem automatically configured
# "File System full" Incident created based on an "event" (automated
monitoring through Sitescope) that auto triggers appropriate "Action" (HP
OO workflow)
# HP OO creates new ticket in HP Service Manager (show newly created ticket)
# HP OO triggers performs impact analysis (capture outcome in the ticket)
# HP OO triggers action to free up File System ("empties /tmp")
# HP OO updates ticket with details (time to resolve, etc.) and closes the
incident (show the closed ticket)

Adding hosts of different CPU to the new zone

[iStar Cloud]

Hi everyone,

I tried to add new hosts to the existing zone whose hosts are of XenServer
based o n Intel processors. But the new ones I was trying to add are of the
same hipervisor based on AMD processors. And it failed.
After reviewing document, I figured that each host of the same hipervisor
shoud be homogeneous in CPU configurations.
Then if I create a new zone, is it possible to add hosts that are AMD based
in it?



Regards,
Nancy

RE: Adding hosts of different CPU to the new zone

[Marcel Keller]

Hey Nancy,

The CPUs in an Cluster must be homogenous and not in a Zone... So just add a 
new cluster in CS and add all the AMD based server to it...

Re: Instantiated CentOS VMs shutting down

[Osay Osman Yuuni]

Hi,

I think I found the problem.  It appears that the templates based on CentOS
6.3 upward do not work.  Once I created a new template based on CentOS 6.2
it worked.  The question is whether this is not breaking something.  The
actual OS is 6.5 but when creating a template I selected 6.2 and the
instances based on this template stay up while the instance based on a
template that was created using OS type CentOS 6.3 or CentOS 6.4 die with
the error "Can't find the guest os: CentOS 6.4 (64-bit) mapping into XCP's
guestOS type, start it as HVM guest" or similar in the log.  I know XCP 6.1
supports guest OS types up to CentOS 6.4 but it looks like CS 4.2.1 does
not.  I also saw, in my searches, a jira entry mentioning this.  Was a
patch applied and where can I find it?

Regards,

Osay

Decrypting the password that we get using "getVmPassword" API

[yarish kumar]

Hi -

I am using getVmPassword() API to get ENCRYPTEDTEXT

now i would like to decrypt using the following methods described in the
wiki.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=34014652

$ openssl enc -in ciphertext -out binarytext -d -a

cipertext - has the encrypted password text.
after executing the command , getting empty(0 byte) binarytext file!

next step returns password
$ openssl rsautl -decrypt -in binarytext -out plaintext -inkey private.pem

am I missing anything or the documentation has typos ?

Thanks

Re: Not able to download CentOS template

[Osay Osman Yuuni]

Try redownloading the template as per the documentation.  Don't forget to
use the -F to force the download.  Ensure that the template is successfully
installed (output of the command to install the template).  Check
/template/tmpl/1/ to see whether the template exists (should be
the uuid of the template with a .vhd extension).  There should also be a
template.properties file in there.

You can also check the through the management server GUI to see the status
of the template by clicking on it.  If it does not say ready then there
must be something wrong with your secondary storage.

Re: Not able to download CentOS template

[ronald higgins]

Hi Tejas,

# Not able to login from Management server to SSVM with SSVM private ip.

You would run the SSH from the host that the SSVM is running on and not
from the Mangement Server. At least that's how it works with KVM Hosts.

vm migration between zones

[Ivan Derbenev]

Hello guys, I am deploying cloudstack 4.2 with XenServer 6.2

For now I have a problem. We have 2 datacenters, each would be in its own zone 
(or region, we haven't decided yet).
So...

1)  Can we have different mysql databases, for management servers in each 
datacenter? Without replication between each other? Because management server 
in first datacenter doesn't really need to know anything about second DC's 
hosts\vms\etc.

But in the same time it would be great if I could login any of management 
servers in each DC and get access to any zone.

So the question is - can we connect two datacenters without database 
replication over internet?


2)  The only thing we really need from this connection is the ability to 
migrate instances from one datacenter to another. But I could't find any way 
how to migrate instance between zones\regions, or just export and import it. Is 
it really possible to do that or it can be done inside clusters only?

Regards,
Ivan Derbenev

RE: vm migration between zones

[Geoff Higginbottom]

Ivan,

If you want effectively two independent Data Centers, then simply make each DC 
a Zone within its own Region.  This way you will have two independent 'Clouds' 
but will be able to share login information and switch between the Regions with 
a single login etc.

It is not possible (yet) to 'migrate' VMs between different Zones or Regions so 
you would need to export the VM from one Zone, and then import it into the 
other Zone.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

help with VPC and public IPs change

[Andrei Mikhailovsky]

Hello guys, 

I am changing my public IP range and I was having some issues with VPCs. I've 
managed to do it without any issues for the normal networks by changing the 
values in the database, however, The same procedure did not work for the VPCs. 
Here is what I've done: 

Changed the relevant values from the old range to the new range in the 
user_ip_address and firewall_rules tables. After that I've restarted the VPC, 
which has picked up the new ips and the firewall rules. However, the VR only 
had a single source NAT ip address and not the rest of ips it should have had. 
Also, the load balancing and port forwarding rules were not showing up. 

I did look at the load_balancing_rules table, but couldn't find the values that 
link back to the old IPs. 

Could some one please suggest to me what tables I should be changing for the 
VPCs to switch the public IP range. 

Many thanks 

Andrei 

custom DNS entry for secondary IP address

[Jochim, Ingo]

Hi all,

is it possible to get a custom DNS entry for a secondary IP address of an 
instance?

I added a second IP address to my instance but like to use a different name for 
resolution (not the hostname).

Thanks,
Ingo

Re: help with VPC and public IPs change

[Jayapal Reddy Uradi]

Hi,

check the nics table also. Also grep for old ups in db dumb.
Try adding new firewall rule and see all the rules are restored.

If the rules are not configured then check the management server logs.

Thanks,
Jayapal

Re: Virtual Router doesn't start

[Alena Prokharchyk]

Kambiz, can you please try one more thing.

1) Locate all the firewall rules for your guest network (205, right?)

Select id, ip_address_id from firewall_rules where network_id=205;

2) Now get all static nat enabled ip addresses for those rules:

Select vm_id, network_id from user_ip_address where id in (Select id,
ip_address_id from firewall_rules where network_id=205);

For each vmId/networkId combo, check if there is non-removed nic and
non-expunged vm. There might be some incorrect static nat ip/vm reference
referring to vm that is removed already. If you find any, let me know and
I will tell you how to clean it up

Hi,

I hope I have understood what you wrote and created the following query
correctly:

select uip.vm_id, uip.network_id, uip.public_ip_address,
   n.state as nic_state, n.removed as nic_removed,
   vm.state as vm_state, vm.removed as vm_removed
from user_ip_address uip
 join nics n on uip.vm_id = n.instance_id
 join vm_instance vm on uip.vm_id = vm.id
where uip.id in (Select ip_address_id from firewall_rules fr where 
fr.network_id=205);

Re: Virtual Router doesn't start

[Alena Prokharchyk]

Yes, Kambiz, you followed up right, and vm id=15 is the culprit. If vm
id=15 is expunged, we have to clear out the reference to it from
user_ip_address table. Here is the flow:

1) Save the db dump.
2) Run the query to cleanup the reference:

Update user_ip_address set one_to_one_nat=0, instance_id=null where
id=



Let me know how it works.

Yes it is supported in new management server installation only, meaning if
you upgrade from an earlier cloudstack version you will have only upgrade
path to xen server 6.1, if you have a new cloud stack management
installation then you can have xen server 6.2 for the compatibility matrix

Hi, 

 

 

 

Since the release of CS 4.2.1 is XenServer 6.2 supported?

 

In the install docs all I see is support up to version 6.0.2.

Re: CloudStack Vs HP CSA

[ilya musayev]

At my previous employer, we've worked to  replace HP BSA (HPSA and 
HPOO), with


cloudstack - controlling vSphere, KVM and XEN
cobbler and spacewalk (linux physical provisioning and patch management)
Chef - package configuration
Microsoft SSCM - physical windows provisioning and management

CloudStack, KVM, Cobbler, Spacewalk and Chef - are all open source. SSCM 
and vSphere - something you had to pay for.


You can technically abstract SSCM, but there is no open source tool to 
best of my knowledge that would do all of that for Windows. vSphere was 
there because of ELA, but since we automated template build process, KVM 
or XEN as open source replacement - would have worked similarly.


In theory you can have this stack completely open source (free), but you 
have to have specific skillset to get all of subcomponents functional in 
somewhat similar fashion as proprietary. Depending on how large your ENV 
is, you have to decide which route you want to go.

CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)

[Jim Jones]

Hello,

I am interested to know what everyone is using to provide disaster recovery
for VMs running in CloudStack?

Note, I am talking about true DR to another data center, not HA.  I have
seen the previous thread where someone asked about DR, but the answer
provided only talked about HA of VMs within the same Cluster or Zone.  This
is not my question.

I am looking for a method to maintain an up-to-date copy of a running VM,
including its data, in another Zone or Region, such that if the first Zone
is destroyed, the VM can be brought up in the other Zone and continue
production.

Before cloud, DR for virtualized environments was typically handled using
SAN replication.  The VMs would be quiesced and snapshotted at regular
intervals (e.g. hourly), and the SAN LUNs would be continuously replicated
asynchronously.  Following this approach, if the primary site was
destroyed, the SAN LUNs would be enabled for read-write at the secondary
location, and the VMs could then be started there, using the last
successful snapshot (the last consistency point).

I have looked at what Amazon and Rackspace provide for their Clouds, and
the approach seems to be user-initiated quiesced cloud snapshots, combined
with Secondary Storage that is automatically replicated and available
throughout their Clouds.  Therefore, if the site where the VM is running
gets destroyed, the latest VM snapshot can be deployed from Secondary
Storage to any other Zone.

I would like to know if anybody has experience/insights using this approach
on CloudStack, particularly using XenServer hosts.

Is there a mechanism available for end-users to create quiesced CloudStack
snapshots of running production VMs, such that applications and filesystems
are put into a consistent state prior to the snapshot being created?

Also, can anybody offer insight into how to automatically or continuously
replicate Secondary Storage across Zones or Regions, using NFS-based
Secondary Storage (not object storage), such that CloudStack users will see
any be able to deploy their Snapshots in any other Zone or Region?

If what I am describing is not yet possible with CloudStack, I would be
like to be pointed towards the part of the CloudStack roadmap that
discusses the planned architecture.

Thanks,
JJ

Hello Jim,

I'm also interested in this subject.
Right now for some DR VMs I (am trying to) use Xenserver + HAlizard, 
but this is just a 2 hypervisor setup.


If I had to do it now, my least cumbersome approach would probably be 
to recommend setting up VMs in the DR zone and replicate stuff at 
application level and do some load balancing.


I'm very curious what others do.

Re: Virtual Router doesn't start

[Kambiz Darabi]

Hi,

thank you, the NullPointerException doesn't occur any more, but there
still seems to be a problem during startup of the router.

When I start the virtual router, it comes up, but in agent.log, there
are lots of 'Could not connect to 169.254.1.x'  messages.

Then I logged into the virtual router to find out that the netmask of
eth1 is missing in the interfaces file:

root@host:~# virsh console r-19-VM
Connected to domain r-19-VM
Escape character is ^]

Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 r-19-VM ttyS0

r-19-VM login: root
...
root@r-19-VM:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces 
auto lo eth0 eth1 eth2
iface lo inet loopback

iface  eth0 inet static
  address 169.254.1.59 
  netmask 255.255.0.0
iface  eth1 inet static
  address 10.193.17.1 
  netmask 
iface  eth2 inet static
  address 10.193.17.190 
  netmask 255.255.255.0

I don't know if it is relevant, but this is the line from agent.log
where the parameters are visible:

2014-03-24 21:36:17,681 DEBUG [kvm.resource.LibvirtComputingResource]

Any hint is appreciated.

ShapeBlue are currently working on a solution for Zone Failover of VMs, I

With regards to the replication of volume snapshots, that is effectively

Re: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)

[Andrei Mikhailovsky]

Hi Jim, 


I would suggest looking at Ceph for the multisite data replication, including 
primary and secondary storage. I doubt nfs would be of much use here unless you 
are a masochist )) Alternatively, you may look at using zfs with zfs 
send/receive feature to remote copy across filesystem snapshots. You may ran 
nfs over zfs if nfs is preferred. 


As to the cloudstack, and I've not done any tests and just hypothesizing, you 
can have a vm in multiple regions/zones, which are pointing to the volume which 
you've synced across to a remote dc. If your primary zone/dc dies, you simply 
start the vm from another zone/region using the last snapshot state. 


I would also suggest looking at scalr, which should automate things for you 
when it comes to switching between failed and live dcs. It's a fantastic 
looking product from the looks of it.

Subject: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA) 

Hello, 

I am interested to know what everyone is using to provide disaster recovery 
for VMs running in CloudStack? 

Note, I am talking about true DR to another data center, not HA. I have 
seen the previous thread where someone asked about DR, but the answer 
provided only talked about HA of VMs within the same Cluster or Zone. This 
is not my question. 

I am looking for a method to maintain an up-to-date copy of a running VM, 
including its data, in another Zone or Region, such that if the first Zone 
is destroyed, the VM can be brought up in the other Zone and continue 
production. 

Before cloud, DR for virtualized environments was typically handled using 
SAN replication. The VMs would be quiesced and snapshotted at regular 
intervals (e.g. hourly), and the SAN LUNs would be continuously replicated 
asynchronously. Following this approach, if the primary site was 
destroyed, the SAN LUNs would be enabled for read-write at the secondary 
location, and the VMs could then be started there, using the last 
successful snapshot (the last consistency point). 

I have looked at what Amazon and Rackspace provide for their Clouds, and 
the approach seems to be user-initiated quiesced cloud snapshots, combined 
with Secondary Storage that is automatically replicated and available 
throughout their Clouds. Therefore, if the site where the VM is running 
gets destroyed, the latest VM snapshot can be deployed from Secondary 
Storage to any other Zone. 

I would like to know if anybody has experience/insights using this approach 
on CloudStack, particularly using XenServer hosts. 

Is there a mechanism available for end-users to create quiesced CloudStack 
snapshots of running production VMs, such that applications and filesystems 
are put into a consistent state prior to the snapshot being created? 

Also, can anybody offer insight into how to automatically or continuously 
replicate Secondary Storage across Zones or Regions, using NFS-based 
Secondary Storage (not object storage), such that CloudStack users will see 
any be able to deploy their Snapshots in any other Zone or Region? 

If what I am describing is not yet possible with CloudStack, I would be 
like to be pointed towards the part of the CloudStack roadmap that 
discusses the planned architecture. 

Thanks, 
JJ

Re: Virtual Router doesn't start

[Alena Prokharchyk]

I don’t think its relevant as the piece we’ve fixed, just eliminated
static nat rule programming for non-existing vm. Missing netmask on eth1
doesn’t seem related to the problem (although we have to figure out why
its missing), as the connection that fails, happening to link local 169.x
eth0 interface.

Edison, can you please tell us how to debug link local connection failure,
on KVM agent?

Thank you,
Alena.

 Kambiz, can you please try one more thing.

 1) Locate all the firewall rules for your guest network (205, right?)

 Select id, ip_address_id from firewall_rules where network_id=205;

 2) Now get all static nat enabled ip addresses for those rules:

 Select vm_id, network_id from user_ip_address where id in (Select id,
 ip_address_id from firewall_rules where network_id=205);

 For each vmId/networkId combo, check if there is non-removed nic and
 non-expunged vm. There might be some incorrect static nat ip/vm

 referring to vm that is removed already. If you find any, let me know
and
 I will tell you how to clean it up

Re: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)

[Matthew Kaufman]

What about using iRODS (http://www.irods.org); with a custom
Micro-Service.  Conceptually; what does everyone think?


Is there a mechanism available for end-users to create quiesced CloudStack
snapshots of running production VMs, such that applications and filesystems
are put into a consistent state prior to the snapshot being created?

Also, can anybody offer insight into how to automatically or continuously
replicate Secondary Storage across Zones or Regions, using NFS-based
Secondary Storage (not object storage), such that CloudStack users will see
any be able to deploy their Snapshots in any other Zone or Region?

If what I am describing is not yet possible with CloudStack, I would be
like to be pointed towards the part of the CloudStack roadmap that
discusses the planned architecture.

Re: Error in terminal:No package cloud-client availble

[ilya musayev]

You are using a really old version of cloudstack and OS.

I suggest using CentOS6 - 64bit and atleast cloudstack 4.2.1, though ACS 
4.3 will come out tomorrow.

Re: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)

[ilya musayev]

I suggest attending this talk @ CCNA 14 that is going to explain some of 
what mentioned here.


http://cloudstackcollabconference2014.sched.org/event/f2162b8cb2fcaf4c0290a862ad5524ca?iframe=yes&w=100&sidebar=yes&bg=no#?iframe=yes&w=100&sidebar=yes&bg=no

Alena is going to explain how she wrote Disaster Recovery Orchestration 
Solution" on top of CloudStack - using APIs. This is not going to be 
open sourced (yet), but talk does sound promising and something an 
average use can do on their own with some programing experience.


Below is copy and paste of the topic:

- My experience writing Citrix proprietary service "Disaster Recovery 
Orchestration Solution" on top of CloudStack. It implements replicating 
(and later on synching up with the latest changes) CloudStack VM object 
along with all its data (networking rules, secondary ips for VM's nics, 
userdata, etc) from one Availability Zone to another, without direct DB 
modification, using just CloudStack APIs. The service can be used as a 
part of Disaster Recovery Solution if deployed with partner products for 
actual storage data replication. Although the component code is not an 
open source, I think the feature high level architecture design overview 
as well as the pitfalls I've faced/overcame while writing integration 
component on top of CloudStack, can be usefu

Subject: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)
Hello,

I am interested to know what everyone is using to provide disaster recovery
for VMs running in CloudStack?

Note, I am talking about true DR to another data center, not HA. I have
seen the previous thread where someone asked about DR, but the answer
provided only talked about HA of VMs within the same Cluster or Zone. This
is not my question.

I am looking for a method to maintain an up-to-date copy of a running VM,
including its data, in another Zone or Region, such that if the first Zone
is destroyed, the VM can be brought up in the other Zone and continue
production.

Before cloud, DR for virtualized environments was typically handled using
SAN replication. The VMs would be quiesced and snapshotted at regular
intervals (e.g. hourly), and the SAN LUNs would be continuously replicated
asynchronously. Following this approach, if the primary site was destroyed,
the SAN LUNs would be enabled for read-write at the secondary location, and
the VMs could then be started there, using the last successful snapshot
(the last consistency point).

I have looked at what Amazon and Rackspace provide for their Clouds, and
the approach seems to be user-initiated quiesced cloud snapshots, combined
with Secondary Storage that is automatically replicated and available
throughout their Clouds. Therefore, if the site where the VM is running
gets destroyed, the latest VM snapshot can be deployed from Secondary
Storage to any other Zone.

I would like to know if anybody has experience/insights using this approach
on CloudStack, particularly using XenServer hosts.

Is there a mechanism available for end-users to create quiesced CloudStack
snapshots of running producti

What about using iRODS (http://www.irods.org); with a custom
Micro-Service.  Conceptually; what does everyone think?


Is there a mechanism available for end-users to create quiesced CloudStack
snapshots of running production VMs, such that applications and filesystems
are put into a consistent state prior to the snapshot being created?

Also, can anybody offer insight into how to automatically or continuously
replicate Secondary Storage across Zones or Regions, using NFS-based
Secondary Storage (not object storage), such that CloudStack users will see
any be able to deploy their Snapshots in any other Zone or Region?

If what I am describing is not yet possible with CloudStack, I would be
like to be pointed towards the part of the CloudStack roadmap that
discusses the planned architecture.

Hi Jim,

Very good questions and I am keen to see the answers as well. CloudStack 
definitely needs to support this scenario (I don't believe it currently does). 
Cross zone replication of snapshots with the ability to bring up VM's from 
those snapshots is something I'd like to see too.
