Re: force to install template
Worse case - if reboot of Management Server and Secondary Storage VM did not help, you can alter the db vm_templates and add date to removed field. If removed entry with date exists, cloudstack will no longer use this template. You can re-add the template, you should see the path for xen-server and centos 5.6 template in db, should be something like: http://download.cloud.com/templates/builtin/centos56-x86_64.vhd.bz2 http://download.cloud.com/releases/4.3/centos6_4_64bit.vhd.bz2 Regards, ilya On 7/9/14, 7:45 PM, Nux! wrote: Hi, Has rebooting the Secondary Storage VM accomplished anything? -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

Hi Suneel, While deploying VM you can specify the ip address for the VM in API.

Windows Template Question
Hello Chaps, I have a question that nobody seems to be able to answer for me, so I thought I’d try my luck with you guys. When I first deployed our CloudStack and captured a windows template, the resulting windows VMs would take about 2 minutes from being requested to being deployed and up. The problem here was that windows prompted for a product key prior to displaying the logon screen and wouldn’t allow logon (either local or remote) until that was entered. Naturally I applied an unattend.xml (pasted Below) to put the product key in automatically which solved the problem and made everything work perfectly, however my Windows VMs don’t deploy in 2 minutes anymore, they take 12 minutes… most of which is a black screen with ‘Preparing your computer for first use’ on it. I realise that 12 minutes isn’t a bad time from request to being online and ready, however It would be brilliant if I could get this back down to the couple of minutes it was originally. Any thoughts? Thanks guys!!

Subject: Windows Template Question
Hello Chaps,
I have a question that nobody seems to be able to answer for me, so I thought
I’d try my luck with you guys.
When I first deployed our CloudStack and captured a windows template, the
resulting windows VMs would take about 2 minutes from being requested to being
deployed and up. The problem here was that windows prompted for a product key
prior to displaying the logon screen and wouldn’t allow logon (either local or
remote) until that was entered.
Naturally I applied an unattend.xml (pasted Below) to put the product key in
automatically which solved the problem and made everything work perfectly,
however my Windows VMs don’t deploy in 2 minutes anymore, they take 12 minutes…
most of which is a black screen with ‘Preparing your computer for first use’ on
it.
I realise that 12 minutes isn’t a bad time from request to being online and
ready, however It would be brilliant if I could get this back down to the
couple of minutes it was originally.
Any thoughts?
Thanks guys!!

RE: Windows Template Question
John, I've just spun up a Windows 2008 R2 Web Edition VM in my lab to test this for you. The Template was sysprepped has an unattend answer file, cloudstack password reset package etc. My test rig is NOT enterprise grade hardware so I do not expect great performance, however I can login to the instance within 6 mins (I would expect this be only a few minutes on decent Kit, but it all depends on the Storage IOPs). Furthermore, we make the VM auto activate on first boot so when the user logs in, there are no activation messages, as well as run a number of post boot scripts to clean up all the unattend settings. I noted down the various boot messages and their times: After approx 1 min simple text message setup is updating registry Then Setup is starting services with glowing bar below 2 mins 30 setup is applying system settings 2 mins 45 setup will continue after restarting your computer 4 mins (after a reboot) setup is preparing your computer for first use 4 Mins 30 - Prompt to accepts terms (we can automate this but this templates forces the user to accept) - windows is finalizing your settings 6 mins - logged in and fully activated Looking at you unattend.xml it has a number of differences to mine, and includes what I believe are invalid settings such as the locales etc. Mine are set to en-GB with the exception of UILanguage which has to be set to en-US (at least it did last time I researched this) Here is a sample unattend.xml, try this to see if improves things and let me know how you get on. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? unattend xmlns=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend settings pass=oobeSystem component name=Microsoft-Windows-International-Core processorArchitecture=amd64 publicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 language=neutral versionScope=nonSxS xmlns:wcm=http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; InputLocaleen-GB/InputLocale SystemLocaleen-GB/SystemLocale UILanguageen-US/UILanguage UILanguageFallbacken-US/UILanguageFallback UserLocaleen-GB/UserLocale /component /settings settings pass=windowsPE component name=Microsoft-Windows-Setup processorArchitecture=amd64 publicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 language=neutral versionScope=nonSxS xmlns:wcm=http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; UserData ProductKey WillShowUIOnError/WillShowUI Key----/Key /ProductKey /UserData /component /settings settings pass=generalize component name=Microsoft-Windows-PnpSysprep processorArchitecture=amd64 publicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 language=neutral versionScope=nonSxS xmlns:wcm=http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; PersistAllDeviceInstallstrue/PersistAllDeviceInstalls /component /settings cpi:offlineImage cpi:source=catalog:c:/software/microsoft/ms windows server spla/wim/install_windows server 2008 r2 serverweb.clg xmlns:cpi=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi / /unattend Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com -Original Message- From: John Muckley [mailto:j.muck...@databax.com] Sent: 10 July 2014 16:38 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: RE: Windows Template Question I did indeed Sysprep it, yes.

Re: Windows Template Question
I'm with Lucian, this is general windows issue - you cant do anything faster. Sysprep will take what it takes and its nothing to do with CloudStack. Unless you don't have windows AD - and dont care about unique SIDs, then you could just clone windows VMs as is, but you should not have any uniformed management system that cares about SIDs.

VMware Datastore Question
I am planning on adding a zone that is supported by VMware, I was wondering if I should stick with what I normally do in my VMware clusters that is to have datastores that are no larger than 2 TB, but the question I had with that is how does Cloudstack tell the VMware cluster to create the instance on different datastores, is it as simple as adding a primary storage for each of the datastores?
Re: VMware Datastore Question
Hi, yes, all you need to do is add each datastore as a primary storage in CloudStack.

RE: Help with CloudStack using Local Storage
Does your xen host has vhd-utill in right location ? It seems its unable to access your storage, this kind of error were noticed earlier when vhd-util is not exists in right location. Also for localstorage: You need enable the flag during zone creation and also set the global configuration parameters as mentioned by Geoff earlier.

Re: Windows Template Question
Hi, John. The delay is probably due to the devices being re-detected.
This step is likely unnecessary so try enabling PersistAllDeviceInstalls
[1] in your XML to skip it. Let us know how it goes.
Best regards,

Subject: Windows Template Question
Hello Chaps,
I have a question that nobody seems to be able to answer for me, so I thought
I’d try my luck with you guys.
When I first deployed our CloudStack and captured a windows template, the
resulting windows VMs would take about 2 minutes from being requested to
being deployed and up. The problem here was that windows prompted for a
product key prior to displaying the logon screen and wouldn’t allow logon
(either local or remote) until that was entered.
Naturally I applied an unattend.xml (pasted Below) to put the product key in
automatically which solved the problem and made everything work perfectly,
however my Windows VMs don’t deploy in 2 minutes anymore, they take 12
minutes… most of which is a black screen with ‘Preparing your computer for
first use’ on it.
I realise that 12 minutes isn’t a bad time from request to being online and
ready, however It would be brilliant if I could get this back down to the
couple of minutes it was originally.
Any thoughts?
Thanks guys!!
