Hope these helps

use the following command to find

root@managementserver:/etc/modprobe.d# find / -name componentContext.xml
/home/cloudstack/apache-cloudstack-4.2.0-src/debian/cloudstack-management/etc/cloudstack/management/componentContext.xml

Event Notification

[Gopala Krishnan]

Hi,

I have upgraded new cloudstack 4.3 version and try to configured Event
Notification componentContext.xml Rabbit MQ settings but could not find any
file componentContext.xml in cloudstack management files path.
How can we enable this event notification configuration?

Limiting Bandwidth

[Xerex Bueno]

I am running ACS 4.3 with Xenserver 6.2 fully patched.  When I create a network 
offering and specify the bandwidth to be 1Mbps, then create a new network and 
VM it doesn’t apply the bandwidth limit.  Why is this happening?

Snapshot exceptions on 4.2.1 with NFS and S3

[Thomas O'Dowd]

I remember this used to work on Cloudstack 4.2 when I was testing it
with devcloud but with CloudPlatform 4.2.1 and KVM I can't get snapshots
to work.

I've setup a single node using KVM and management server, db and agent.

I can start an instance using a template stored on NFS secondary
storage. If I stop the instance and goto storage, I can see it's disk
and then I can select "take snapshot". This always seems to fail for me
and I'm not sure why.

The error seems to be:
Failed to create snapshot
com.cloud.utils.exception.CloudRuntimeException: Failed to
backup 4d3ea6fa-6902-4037-be67-166e34575ee9 for
disk 
/mnt/8a2181f7-86a0-3d7d-a5be-10caa89b3d27/f0615600-d806-486e-bbea-d408de0225e4 
to /mnt/e5c41d36-90d2-3d5e-bdbf-8a0140dd330e/snapshots/2/3

/mnt/8a218... is mounted fine if I look at df.
/mnt/e5c41... is not mounted.

If I browse to /mnt, the e5c41... directory (used for mounting) exists.
If I manually mount it, I can see the
directory /mnt/e5c41.../snapshots/2/3 so it exists. If I leave it
mounted and try to take a snapshot again, it fails again with the same
error and again when I check the /mnt/e5c41... directory is not mounted.

As I mentioned above, the NFS server I'm using is actually the same
node. I'm using KVM but I don't think that is causing the issue? I'm
using CentOS 6.4.

If I setup S3 as secondary storage and use NFS as the staging server, I
get the same error. Any hints on what I am doing wrong is greatly
appreciated. 

Here is more of the exception log:

Yes it is supported in new management server installation only, meaning if you

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 check out the below table.

Re: New to CS, some prep questions

[Antone Heyward]

I’d agree with Nux and use VM for management server. This works well and lends 
nicely to scaling up and out as needed.

I use compute/storage nodes with glusterfs and shared mount point but this 
could be overkill or waste of storage capacity if you don’t want or need the 
added redundancy.

Re: Error adding host on new install

[ilya musayev]

I'm not KVM expert, but in general, you will have a more descriptive 
error in cloudstack MS management-server.log as well as on the KVM host 
itself - since you have an agent running there as well.


I assume cloudstack agent is running and you've went trough install docs 
that detail KVM installation reasonably well.

Re: VM orchestration, updating Best practices

[Erik Weber]

One way is to let puppet or whatever decide based on hostname, and pass the
role that way. Or you could look at userdata, but that is hard to change
later.

Re: Templates

I agree with Ilya. Please read the documentation first.  Looks like your CentOS 
template is not available yet. Fix that problem first before creating an 
instance.

VM orchestration, updating Best practices

[X. S.]

Hey!

I have several choices to make regarding orchestration of VMs:

- when and where should I assign a role to a template/VM?

- Should I have a Database template, a Webserver template etc? Or should I just 
have one basic ubuntu template with chef/puppet installed and pass the role 
somehow differently to the VM (how?) so all the rest of the installation is 
taken care of by those tools?

- Should I turn on automatic updates in Ubuntu and how often should I create a 
new, up to date template?

- is puppet/chef really worth having to change the recipes on every minor new 
version and coming up with a recipe every time I want to install something new? 
Is there a way of installing security patches etc. automatically but handle new 
versions manually via chef or puppet?

- I guess the best way for updates would be to start a new VM with the new 
software and one by one move the workload to the updated VMs. On the other hand 
this seems not very feasible for the daily updates on the OS level!?

I have been researching this for a few weeks. Maybe you can share a thing or 
two before my head explodes...

Thank you!

Please kindly read the documentation, we've spent many hours putting it

To a second issue you mentioned, CloudStack by design will not track 
non-CloudStack deployed VMs, so it will not show up in your dashboard.

You can use local storage, I would actually recommend it if you want SSDs, but 
there is no way to achieve HA with local storage, you need it shared.

I'd go for RAID10 in this case.

RE: New to CS, some prep questions

Thanks for the response. I actually forgot to include one serve for actual 
storage. However, would it be more simplified and easier to just have a the 
storage server act also as the CPU/Memory (power) server too? Does CloudStack 
have some config ability to claim a server as an HA server (high availability)?

For example (new infrastructure example, based of your vm suggestion too)

Server #1
Purpose: CloudStack Control Panel Install (Management Server)
Qty: 1
VM Machine (one production, one backup/HA)
Cores: about 2-4 
2-4GB RAM

Server #2
Purpose: Hypervisors (CPU + Memory + Storage)
Qty: 1 plus 1 for failover (HA)
Dual Hexacore CPUs
128GB RAM
12 x 1TB SAS (or SSD) RAID1
*above drives is for main storage, I know is pricey, but it's only for an 
example*

Server #3
Purpose: Backup Server (NAS)
Qty: 1
Dual Quad Core CPUs
16GB RAM
12 x 2TB SATA RAID10

The application needs to be cloud-aware as you say, in most cases this

This usually happens if ACS can't get access to the new system vm templates. 
What does the management log say? Without much details from your side it is 
hard to help unfortunately,

What kind of zone are you using?
Usually volume snapshots are ok for backups.

Hi, see below.



Server #1

Purpose: CloudStack Control Panel Install (Management Server)

Qty: 1

Dual Hexacore CPUs

32-64GB RAM

4 x 160GB SAS (RAID10)


This is OVERKILL if you ask me. I'd go with smaller, multiple servers. 
I for one have a 2 (for HA) management servers in the form of VMs, 2 GB 
RAM each, they're mostly idle, even one would have been enough.

Use this hardware for hypervisors.




Server #2

Purpose: Hypervisors (Memory) (is it better to simply have a singular,
beefed up CPU/Memory Management Server as above or separate from 
management

node?)

Qty: 1 or 2, plus 1 for failover

Dual Hexacore CPUs

128GB RAM

2 x 160GB SATA RAID1



Sounds good. Judging by the small HDDs I imagine you are using a 
SAN/NAS for storage.


It's better (IMHO) to have multiple management servers, see what I 
wrote above.





Server #3

Purpose: Backup Server

Qty: 1

Dual Hexacore CPUs

16GB RAM

12 x 2TB SAS RAID5 or RAID10


Looks perfect for Secondary Storage.



With cloud hosting, what would the difference be between a "cloud vps" 
and
"cloud dedicated server"? If I'm not mistaken, they're the same, 
except the

allowance for a 'dedicated server' option would be much higher, right?


Never heard of "cloud vps" before.
No matter how you want to call them they are still virtual machines, 
these words are just marketing, nothing more. Everyone is free to market 
their products as they wish, there is no standard.


Last question: does anyone use this for automated provisioning with 
WHMCS or

do you recommend a better software?


Not me.

RE: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)

[Geoff Higginbottom]

Hi Lisa,

You have basically highlighted the difference between a true 'Cloud' 
application and a traditional application.

Eventually, all 'apps' will be cloud apps, and we will never need to fail-over 
an individual VM between Zones, but there are still a lot of users running 
traditional workloads which require the hardware to provide the resiliency, 
rather that the app itself.

Until we reach the utopia of all workloads being cloud-era workloads, the Zone 
HA feature is still very high on people's wish list.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Hey!Is this really all cloud environments can do? Isn't there a better 
solution? I am thinking hot failover across data centers and not just 
restarting a one hour(?) old, outdated backup. With the approach mentioned here 
we still have to configure, for example, the SQL server in the VM to do 
replication across data centers to get instant failover. This would be best 
practice for an SQL database, right? Where is the benefit of snapshotting if 
you have to configure replication in higher level layers anyways? Shouldn't we 
just handle all the replication inside the VM (let them talk to each other) and 
let a load balancer do the failover? CS would only have to recognize the 
failure and restart the failed instance (start from template). The instance 
should then know how to sync with the other VMs.
Maybe time should be spent on documenting an optimal failover scenario and 
optimizing cloudstack for that scenario instead of spending time on good, but 
not optimal solutions?
What do you think? What's the benefit of snapshotting? To be honest, I am a 
little bit confused about all the different options of ensuring business 
continuity in cloudstack (and other cloud management tools). E. g.: should I 
turn on automatic updates in Ubuntu, just keep an outdated template and have it 
update to the latest software versions each time a new VM is created from that 
template or should I do manual updates and create a new template each time? The 
same question still stands if I consider puppet/chef. Snapshotting seems to be 
an inefficient solution to keep the server configuration/software current.

CS 4.2.1/CentOS KMV best approach to backup Instances

[motty cruz]

Hello,
I would like to backup instances in CS for easy recovery in case of
disaster.

Thanks,

Can't go out of a vm with F5 as loadbalancer network offering

[Amin Pashapour]

Hi All,

On CloudStack 4.2.1, I have set up a network that uses an offering with F5 as 
loadbalancer. All other features use VirtualRouter.  Everything is working fine 
going southbound to the two VM's I am loadbalancing.

But when I am on either one of these VM's, I can't get to anything external.  I 
can get to the virtual router/gateway or other internal VM's. I can resolve 
www.google.com but I can't telnet to google.com on port 80

I have set egress on my network to ALL protocols from 0.0.0.0/0.  I have also 
disabled iptables and still nothing going out.

I can go outside when I use the default network offering.


Any hint on what could be the cause is greatly appreciated. Or any hint on how 
to troubleshoot!

Thanks.
Amin

No,its not necessary..you can use rhel/centos or ubuntu..

can u check that whether u installed DEB package repository or RPM package
repository..


here for ubuntu,u have to install DEB packages and for rhel/centos, u can
use rpm packages..

so check it once..and follow the ACS guide...

Re: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)

[Pierre-Luc Dion]

Look like Creating a Secondary Storage using Swift create a Region wide
Secondary Storage. So in theory if you have a Swift service across multiple
datacenter and the Cloudstack database replicated as well, you should be
able to recover from a lost data-center.

Although, I doubt I would consider snapshots in the secondary storage as
backup because in the case a Cloudstack Account get compromised all
snapshots could be destroyed.

Enciso,

I am not sure I understand your question correctly but I think the
answer is no! You should make your yum can find the package yourself.
I don't think ACS is packaged in any rpm repo.

1) first of all , install  cloud on 64-bit OS..
2) and follow the steps what you did (use apache cloudstack installation
guide)..
3) and then coming to your error,try to update yum..(#yum update -y)
4) and then follow guide to install ntp and further steps according to

ShapeBlue are currently working on a solution for Zone Failover of VMs, I 
cannot confirm which version it will be included in, but 4.5 is a possibility.

With regards to the replication of volume snapshots, that is effectively 
available today using the S3 backed secondary storage feature.

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.

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: force delete compute host/node?

[ronald higgins]

Hi Marty. Deletion of the Host via the infrastructure panel results in the
error:

"Host 1328586a-4c6e-46fb-a196-37ba36bbb3f7 cannot be deleted as it is not
in maintenance mode. Either put the host into maintenance or perform a
forced deletion."

The Management server still thinks the SSVM is running on it... which it
isn't, which I think is playing a part in this.

So if there is a way to forcibly remove the host any guidace would be
appreciated.

 Diego, spent some more time on debugging your issue. Might not be
 related
 to transaction refactoring as it went in after 4.2. And records for some
 accounts actually got non-0 network stat:

 0 network stats:

 mysql> select count(*) from user_statistics where net_bytes_received=0
 or
 net_bytes_sent=0 order by account_id;
 +--+
 | count(*) |
 +--+
 |   26 |
 +--+
 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

 Non-0 network stats

 mysql> select count(*) from user_statistics where net_bytes_received!=0
 or
 net_bytes_sent!=0 order by account_id;
 +--+
 | count(*) |
 +--+
 |  207 |
 +--+
 1 row in set (0.00 sec)



 Adding Kishan to the thread as he has more expertise in Network usage
 calculation and he might be able to help us.


 I would divide problematic accounts (Networks) that are not getting
 usage
 stats update, into 2 categories:

 CATEGORY #1 Networks having non-0 current_bytes* and 0 net_bytes
 received

 This situation is totally normal as net_bytes_received get updated only
 when VR gets stopped. Yet on Diego's setup, those entries are not
 counted
 when do network usage calculation. Here is the account having problems:

 mysql> select * from user_statistics where account_id=176;

 +-+++---+---+--

 ++++---
 -++++

Hi Raja,

This is how I have done it:

CloudMonkey does something like this too

Re: CS 4.1.1 project template issue

[Fernando Guillén Camba]

I found that this was fixed for 4.2:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4087

Is it going to be fixed in the 4.1 branch or a version upgrade is mandatory?

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

[Ekta Agrawal]

Is this necessary to use centOs or I can use Ubantu 12.4 also?

because earlier I tried on Ubuntu 12.4  64 bit on some other machine but
same error came up..

is it essential to use server version of these operating systems?
