Re: [URGENT] cannot access management server after restarting service

You should probably start by including what parameter(s) you changed and any 
relavent log entries.

Re: SSVM and console proxy vm

[Bret Mette]

Ekta,

Failure to create SSVM and CPVM can sometimes be due to a misconfigured zone 
network. Have you verified your storage and management networks are reachable 
by your management server?

Re: Network Offerings

[Bret Mette]

You would need to modify (edit) your network to a different offering that has a 
10mbps limit and restart the network.

Re: Primary secondary storage is not even started

Can your management server see the primary and secondary storage networks and 
access the servers providing those services?

Template - Download file size is too large

[Bret Mette]

Hey Everyone,

I keep getting this error when CloudStack attempts to download a template I
have registered.

The template file itself is 50GB and my storage.max.volume.upload.size is
set to 500, which it states is in GBs according to the global settings. I
have plenty of secondary and primary storage space (not that primary should
matter in this case).

Anyone else experienced this? How did you resolve it?

The last time this happened it was during time crunch and I ended up doing
everything (including the db entries) by hand. However, now that I have the
time to resolve this properly I would like to do so (also doing it by hand
again sound miserable).


Thank you in advance

- Bret

Re: Template - Download file size is too large

[Bret Mette]

Looks like that resolved the issue. Thank you.

Strange that the ISO setting would control a VHD registered as a template
(and not an ISO).


Thank you very much.

- Bret

I changed it and it worked. But what is the storage.max.volume.upload.size 
setting for?

When you upload or edit the template iso using the GUI it brings up a drop down

Looks like your DNS setup is not correct.

Re: Guest OS CPU Clock

[Bret Mette]

As far as I know, Xen and kvm will not actually downgrade the clock speed to 
the guest, they will just attempt to make sure the guest does not get scheduled 
for more than it's share of the core's total power.

Someone correct me if I am wrong please.

Re: Xen Update gone rogue?

[Bret Mette]

The rumor had been whispered for a few days but the exact details of the 
vulnerability were kept under a tight lid. I have not heard much about this 
impacting anyone other than the forced downtime by many providers.

Rackspace are bunch of twits. How arrogent and unncessary to point out that 
"another provider mentioned Xen and we didn't".

I can't stand them.

Re: Wasting Time !

[Bret Mette]

... And just when I was singing this groups praises on how it handles itself 
you have to go and respond like that.

While I agree with your sentiment, it could have been expressed in a better way.

I think the original poster is trolling anyway.. maybe this thread needs to die 
quickly.
