Hi,

When you say Changed , did you alter an existing service offering details or 
move a Instance to a service offering?  
If you create a new service offering , does the ID show in your Cloud DB and 
usage DB?

Thanks
Glenn

Hello,

 

I've changed service offering 1~2 months ago but is does'nt show the service 
offering ID in cloud db, I've already restarted cloud-usage service but that is 
not fixed the issue.  I do use CS 4.4 with VMware.

Re: Best way to update Templates

[Sean Lair]

Thanks for the reply Kirk.  Will it auto-delete templates if there are not any 
VMs cloned from them?  Is there a better way to keep templates up-to-date with 
patches?

We will be patching these templates fairly often as Microsoft releases new 
patches.  It sounds like our secondary storage will grow quite quick if it 
doesn't delete old templates, or if we have long-lived VMs that are linked to 
these old templates.

This does explain why our secondary storage has grown more than we expected 
lately.

Thanks for any help or guidance you can provide!

Sean

Hi Ilya,

Adrian Sender provided us some support today and he managed to find the
problem. The problem is with the compute and disk offerings. We created new
compute offering and created a new VM from it and it worked.

Thank you very much for your help.

RE: Best way to update Templates

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, yes that is a good way to do it.  Note that if you do delete a template 
that is in use, it won't actually be deleted on the back-end (i.e. the database 
entries will remain, as will the files on secondary storage), rather it is just 
hidden from the end-users in the UI and API.  Giving a new template the same 
name as a deleted one might be a bit confusing so you could consider adding a 
version number or date code.

Best regards,

Regards,

Hello,

We need to periodically update our templates, for example installing the latest

existing templates or do we just need to delete the old template and create new

The only issue I see with that so far is that we lose the linkage between

RE: High importance Suggest backup tool

[Timothy Lothering]

Hi,

We have also done some testing and came up with a possible solution for Windows 
based machines (We have not yet tested Linux platforms), the outcome was that 
we were able to backup in-VM Data and restore it by traversing the "Public" 
interface.

For reference, we tested this on VMware.

This has some caveats though:

1. It uses the Public network, so if you are charging for "Public" traffic, you 
will need to keep this in mind. At present there is no way (to my knowledge) of 
excluding certain Public IP address (source of destination) from being included 
in the usage data.
2. it depends on an Agent being loaded onto the VM,
3. it isn’t free and is charge per-GB with a minimum commitment etc.

The product is made by Acronis, called "Acronis Backup Cloud" and uses 
certificates to ensure communication to the correct VM as well as securing the 
in-flight data.

Kind Regards,
Timothy Lothering

Re: High importance Suggest backup tool

[ilya]

I think Rafael means you probably have enterprise grade storage like
Netapp and EMC on the backend.

In that case, just enable the snapshotting of the filesystem. The
snapshot can be mounted as separate directory - or in case of netapp,
you will have .snapshot directory within you main tree structure.

How long do you plan to retain the backups?

If its shortlived, storage level snapshot backups - should be enough. If
its long lived, you may have to move it off another place for long term
storage - be it tape - or disk.

ilya

Yes, Please suggest third-party backup tool. we are using xenserver 6.2 as
a hyper-visor and cloudstack version 4.5 version.

what is the best compatibility of the our CS environment.

Re: High importance Suggest backup tool

[Rafael Weingärtner]

If you only want that, I would use a backup tool at the storage level. It
is pretty straight forward.

I do not know what type of storage you are using, but if you have something
over NFS+LVM, you can easily use backup tools for LVM.

Hi Rafael,

Thnx for your reply.

Yes, we are looking os+file (Completely previous state ) level backup.
Suppose VM is crashed unexpectedly (WINDOWS/LINUX).we are using that backup
spin a new VM using previous day backup.

Re: High importance Suggest backup tool

[Rafael Weingärtner]

What do you mean by backup at the OS level?

Backup through the hypervisor or OS of the VM?

Yes, I'm trying to setup everything on a single machine. I followed that guide 
and now I've checked all steps in the KVM section. When I execute  "
lsmod | grep kvm "
 I get the following output:
[root@srvr1 ~]# lsmod | grep kvm
kvm   341551  0

In the guide it appears in the output another line (kvm_intel), am I doing 
something wrong so that line doesn't appear?

Thank you

RE: CloudStack usage is not working properly

[Glenn Wagner]

Hi,

When you say Changed , did you alter an existing service offering details or 
move a Instance to a service offering?  
If you create a new service offering , does the ID show in your Cloud DB and 
usage DB?

Thanks
Glenn

Hello,

 

I've changed service offering 1~2 months ago but is does'nt show the service 
offering ID in cloud db, I've already restarted cloud-usage service but that is 
not fixed the issue.  I do use CS 4.4 with VMware.
