Re: [VOTE] Apache CloudStack 4.19.0.0 RC1

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi all,

We have a blocker reported here,
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/8412 along with some other
regressions and minor issues.
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/milestone/24

I'll work with contributors and cut a new RC once these are fixed.

Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Brian,

Does the SSVM agent state shows ‘Up’? you should be able to find more 
information in the cloud.log of the SSVM.

Hello,
I am trying to upload ISO’s from my desktop and having this issue. The ISO will 
upload to 100%, but then will generate this error and then will not ever get 
into a ready state. Both of the System VMs are in a running and in an up state.

Template  failed to upload. Error details: Template  failed to upload as SSVM is either destroyed or SSVM agent 
not in 'Up' state

Thanks
Brian

Hi Marc,

So you download the deb files? As it looks like a repository link.

RE: Backup management and try out 4.19

[Winkler Marc (ID)]

Hi Jimmy

I'm not from ShapeBlue or the Cloudstack Team, but I can give you an info on 
how we test new Cloudstack Versions.
We have a VM based test environment where we test new Cloudstack releases (with 
KVM and Xen Hosts as VMs).
We automate the creation of this test environment terraform and just re-create 
it after every new release that we test.

You can find the Test / Nightly Repository under the following link:

https://download.cloudstack.org/testing/nightly/

How do I test this? (accompanies with my question in the previous email 😊)

Hi Pearl,

I think the RC still needs to come out first right?

Hi Jimmy,

In ACS 4.19 (soon to release), we now have support to import VMs from KVM to 
CloudStack, which can make things a lot easier to migrate VMs to CloudStack 
from KVM. With this feature, one can import a qcow2 image from either local or 
shared storage or also import a libvirt domain from a KVM host.

Pearl

What would be the easiest way to migrate a VM from native KVM with libvirt and 
virsh to Cloudstack with KVM?
Is this still shutdown vm, copy the qcow2 to disk on own pc, upload it to ACS 
as template, deploy vm from template, start it, once done remove the template?

Hi Jimmy,

In ACS 4.19 (soon to release), we now have support to import VMs from KVM to 
CloudStack, which can make things a lot easier to migrate VMs to CloudStack 
from KVM. With this feature, one can import a qcow2 image from either local or 
shared storage or also import a libvirt domain from a KVM host.

Backup management and try out 4.19

[Jimmy Huybrechts]

Hi,

So since the management server is kind of a very important piece in Cloudstack 
I was wondering what the best method being in terms of backing up and 
restoring, we do have a daily backup set in veeam (for the baremetal server, 
not a VM).
In case of a fatal crash eg. disk corruption, 2 broken disks in a raid etc etc 
can we just restore a backup and it works again or should I pay special 
attention to something?

As second question, I would like to also experiment with 4.19 a bit, how to 
install this on a separate pair of servers? Is it a different repository? (this 
isn’t going on anything with 4.18 so complete separation.)
