RE: No VMID/VolumeID in Volume Usage Data

[Somesh Naidu]

Volume Id: 242

The volume ID seems to be present in the API output - you could do "select * 
from volumes where id=242" to get the details about that volume.

Subject: No VMID/VolumeID in Volume Usage Data

Hi Team,


When I pull usage data of a VM (Type 2) it showing virtualmachineid. Using this 
ID we can map each usage record to their corresponding VM.


But in Volume usage (Type 6), here is no VM ID/ Volume ID. How can I map a 
usage record to their Volume?


Please find below usage data for VM and Volume.

Re: Hostname and IP address of VMs created from template.

[Dan Dong]

Hi, All,
  Thanks for all the info, by recreating the template following the
document, now the newly created VMs have their IP addresses set
automatically, but the hostname still keeps the hostname of  the VM from
which template is created. For CentOS, the hostname is set in the file
/etc/sysconfig/network, apparently new VMs created did not set HOSTNAME
entry from either "name" or "displayname" of the input parameter( I set
hostname to localhost as stated in the document before creating the
template).

Cheers,
Dan

Since this is an API, its usage is at the discretion of the admin. This has 
nothing to do with server not generating usage data. For more information 
checkout Somesh’s email on the thread.

This is by default only enabled for the admin only.

Re: How to reduce the size of the cloud_usage database

[Rohit Yadav]

Hi,

Instead of a automatic thread that would clean up cloud_usage database, I’ve 
implemented a new API (removeRawUsageRecords) that will be available with 4.6.0 
and above. It takes an interval parameter which is an integer greater than 0, 
and this API when called removes all records from cloud_usage.cloud_usage table 
that are older than ‘interval’ number of days. It fails in a window of 15mins 
when using the usage job exec time (also considering the timezone) when the API 
is called.

For details you may follow it here:

unable to get VM console in broswer

Hi,

I have installed wildcard certificate for management servers as well as Console 
proxy VM. Management Certificate works without any problem. But if I try to 
take console of VM,  it shows blank screen, I can see that certificate is 
loaded but I have to disable "Protection" then it shows console,

RE: Hostname and IP address of VMs created from template.

[Geoff Higginbottom]

Hi Bhavin,

Firstly the VMs Hostname is always taken from the 'name' setting and not the 
'display name' this is why the name setting cannot have spaces (as Hostnames 
are not allowed to have spaces) but the display name can.

Regarding 
https://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/append-displayname-vms.html
 - This setting changes how the MVs are listed on vCenter, and does not 
influence the VMs Hostname

Thank you Geoff for the response, could you give insights how will it set

when we create a VM with Display name we still do not see the hostname set as 
display name. We are using centos "CentOS 5.3(64-bit) no GUI (vSphere)" 
provided by cloudstack. Hypervisor type is VMWare. Does the default template 
miss any scritps to set the hostname as display name. We have set the hostname 
to localhost and manually stopped and rebooted but still the hostname was not 
set to display name.

Re: Clearing template cache on primary storage

[Prashant Kumar Mishra]

>>I want the template to be pulled down to primary storage each time a

I think this can be done using  full clone vm deployment .
In case of full clone template should get copied every time  ,there is a
global setting ³vmware.create.full.clone² which controls this attribute .
Sadly it is only for vmware.
  Xen server do  support this type of deployment
http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xencenter-61/xs-xc-vms-copy.html
, but not sure how to control it form CS.

Thanks
prashant

Can you check state of these Disks in DB( volumes table for give
instance_id).

Keerthi,

This doesn't ring a bell directly but to investigate further;

Did you check in the database whether these are pointing to the same
image? This seems like a data corruption, to me.

When you say stop/start the vm, do you mean from cloudstack/xenserver
or within the vm?
