Help with virtual router

[Rémi Paeta]

Hello,
I contact you because I am studying the possibility of using Cloudstack for
my company.
I currently use bare-metal servers that are rented from a hosting provider.
I encounter a problem for the management of Public IPs. My hosting provider
gives me public IPs that are associated with a specific mac address. I must
use this mac address for an IP ou a group of IP.
Is there a way to specify the MAC address of the virtual router's external
network interface?
Thanks for your expert advice!

Re: Which linux system is recommended

[Darren Cole]

I haven two cluster setup, both on Ubuntu LTS and kvm. 
This has worked fine. 

BUT. 

One cluster is a tiny two node compute with 1 Raspberry Pi running all storage 
and management. 
Storage is a bit slow, but a dedicated external usb with an SSD was quite a bit 
faster. 
It is a toy compared to what most people on this list run. 

The second is an experimental cluster at work, but it is still small compared 
to others. 
1 management node 
1 storage node for both primary and secondary 
3 compute nodes 
They will be moved to a dedicated switch and converted to Rocky linux. 
When converted will likely pull a different version of kvm per previous 
discussions on this list. 
The short of it is the RedHat kvm rpm does not have all the features enable and 
some Cloudstack features wont work. 
If I remember correctly people used the epel kvm version with some success, 
including in production. 

I wrote some ansible roles to install both clusters, they are here with some 
example plays: [ https://gitlab.com/coledarr/cloudstack-roles | 
https://gitlab.com/coledarr/cloudstack-roles ] 
The roles, and example plays, will be updated as I finish the work on 
converting the work cluster to Rocky linux. 
But the work cluster is an experimental side project so it will be awhile 
before that happens.

We currently run Cloudstack 4.17 on AlmaLinux 8. Both CM and KVM servers on 
AlmaLinux 8 OS. So far we're able to deploy publicly accessible VMs without any 
issues. However, it is a new setup, only time will tell.

Regarding the Ubuntu 22.04, we have tested with CloudStack 4.17.0.0, there

Therefore, since cloudstack 4.17.1.0 (will be released soon), Ubuntu 22.04
is officially supported by cloudstack.

We have used both CentOS and Ubuntu. Currently we have standardized on
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS due to Red Hat shenanigans with CentOS and for
reliability reasons (Red Hat often broke Cloudstack with bug fixes for
CentOS, Ubuntu has never done so). Once a version of Cloudstack is
released that has been validated with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and we have
validated it ourselves we will upgrade to that.

We currently have one old cluster running CentOS 7 (soon to be retired)
and a new cluster running Ubuntu 20.04LTS. Both are operating in the
same zone and pod without a problem, Cloudstack allocates virtual
machines across both clusters without a problem.

Re: Help with virtual router

[Rémi Paeta]

Thank you for the suggestion.
Could you please tell me which table I need to modify?
I still have some questions:
Is it possible to add a script to the virtual router template to handle
this?
Is it also possible to modify the HAProxy/conntrackd template to add the
use of a script?
I can't find documentation for creating a custom Virtual Router template.
Thank you all for your help 😁

RE: Help with virtual router

[Alex Mattioli]

You could potentially change the MAC Address in the NICs table in the database, 
but that would be possible only after the VR has been deployed. 
Hope it works for you.
If you need help with the command I can send you the MySQL statement, let me 
know.

Compute Offerings: Provisioning Type for Ceph/RBD as Primary Storage

[Mevludin Blazevic]

Hi all,

I have a small question regarding performance optimization: Using
Ceph/RBD as Primary Storage, which Provisioning Type (thin, sparse, fat)
would you suggest? Is there any performance difference between them?
Furthermore, which Write-cache Type would be the best?

Regards

Re: [DISCUSS] release and release manager 4.18

[Rohit Yadav]

Hi Sina,

The release process is documented here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Release+Procedure

Some of the logistical bits require the ability to cut branches, create tags 
and push on the ASF remote (as svn commits), this can be only done by at least 
a committer [1] who has the minimum privilege to perform these operations; and 
can get a PMC member to do some of the tasks.

My understanding is, that any committer can be a release manager and:

  *   have built support with the dev community (proposed themselve as RM and 
had no objections at least; and proposed a timeline)
  *   are able to triage and work with Github (committer/PMC have 2FA enabled 
and added to asf org https://gitbox.apache.org, or 
at least have the triaging role enabled)
  *   have built some support with a PMC member to (a) add their GPG keys, (b) 
have the PMC member move the src/artifacts post a release vote is passed using 
subversion
  *   have reputation/access to various tightly-controlled project portals 
(such as docs/readthedocs, publishing on website, publish community packages 
i.e. access on download.cloudstack.org)
  *   have the motivation, time/bandwidth, and patience to do this (esp when 
there are blockers/critical issues and requirements to cut multiple RCs)

Sorry to interrupt. I'm curious to know how is the release procedure. Is it 
possible for me to help or should I be a PMC member?

RE: Change MAC Address of a NIC

[Gary Dixon]

Hi Christian

I'm not 100% sure - but you might need to change the policy on the vSwitch in 
VMWare and set it to allow 'MAC Address Changes' see - 
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-942BD3AA-731B-4A05-8196-66F2B4BF1ACB.html

Hope this solves your problem

Hi,

the json looks fine, the mac is the correct one.
I think it is a vmware problem we will dig into this now.

No idea tbh.

We are using CS with KVM only and there it works like a charm.

Do younhave the possibility to debug the communcation received by the agent?

It receives a json from the manager with all the information how to create the 
machine. The mac should be included.

Re: [DISCUSS] release and release manager 4.18

Sina,
you most certainly can and you'll have my support. It is true that some
actions require PMC karma, but these are minor and isolated, so I would not
regard those an inhibition against you being an RM.
Do you know what the task entails?
