SSL Keystore functionality in CloudStack
I tried looking around to understand the role of SSL Keystore in CS and an exhaustive list of its functionality/Use cases in CS. I couldn't find any documentation that explains about it. Can anyone help me direct to any relevant documentation to understand keystore's role in CS, Thank you, Chandan.

Subject: F5 and CloudStack Hi All I am trying to add an F5 BigIP (10.1) into my CloudStack (4.2.1) environment. This is what I have done: 1- Created a network offering with VR to do everything, including Source and Static NAT, except BL using F5BigIP. 2- Created a network based on the offering. Added egress rule for 0.0.0.0/0 for all protocols. 3- Created a VM using Centos template and the network from step 2 4- Added a firewall rule to the public ip of the network for tcp ports 1- 64000. 5- Can't add port forwarding to the public ip. I get into the VM's console and the network is up. However, I can't ping/ssh to any other system. No system can ping/ssh my VM. This is similar to what someone named Anoop had observed in April of 2013. Can someone give me a hint or two on what I am missing? Thanks. Hi Chandan. Other VM's using DefaultIsolatedNetworkOfferingWithSourceNatService work perfectly fine. I can ssh with no problems. Of course, I had to add a port forwarding rule to let port 22 through. When I try to add a port forwarding rule with the F5 offering network, I get this error: The IP public ip is already used as SourceNAT rather than PortForwarding. And I can't go any further. Thanks
RE: AWS api only for basic networking zones ?
Hello Andrija, AWSAPI feature can be tried on any type of zone. The feature makes more sense if it is used with Basic Zone with Security Groups and Advanced Zone with Security Groups. In case if you just want to try couple of ec2 apis against CloudStack, there is no harm in enabling it and playing with it. You might fail to execute couple of ec2 apis on using the feature against any zone other than the supported zones, Thank you, Chandan. -Original Message- From: Andrija Panic [mailto:andrija.pa...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 1:10 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: AWS api only for basic networking zones ?

I'm thinking that the virtualmachine will need to run its own internal DNS server, but it probably only needs one entry, the hostname of the virtualbox virtualmachine. Sorry if these questions are basic, but I haven't seen any topology examples that describe everything on a single node, so I'm confused what is required.

If no, what other parts of cloudstack perform internal DNS lookups? Dunno. Never had a requirement/reason to worry about it as my DNS servers are configured to resolve my RFC1918 assigned LAN devices and public records. For example, does Management Server perform internal DNS lookups? The management server uses whichever nameservers you have configured in /etc/resolv.conf. I am not sure why you are digging deep into the DNS settings... its a very simple step while adding a new Zone. Just specify the same DNS settings as used by other devices in your network. I am however aware that there are MANY networks which still use IP addresses instead of hostnames. If your networks happens to rely on IP addresses, now would be a good time to create a DNS system :) I'm trying to figure out 'when' I need to add new records to the internal DNS server. If you plan to use hostnames instead of IP addresses for resources like hypervisors, storage devices etc, then you need to create DNS records. Alternatively, you can also add /etc/hosts entries. Depending on your DNS topology, you might have private internal DNS servers or public hosted DNS services (or both). I guess one way for me to understand when I need to add a host record to the internal DNS is by knowing what which parts of the Cloudstack admin interface have fields that require a corresponding internal DNS record. For example: Network Add Guest Network Network Domain Domains Add Domain Network Domain Does each network domain above require an entry to be added into the internal DNS? Are there any other places in the admin UI that require records to be added to the internal DNS server? I believe Sanjeev already replied to this one. network domains are handled internally by CloudStack virtual routers.

The internal DNS server is usually the corporate DNS servers that provide internal DNS services for your LAN. Usually, these are RFC1918 IPs which is why its hosted internally. Question 1: Who manages the Internal DNS? Is an Internal DNS server setup and managed by me, or is it setup and managed by Cloudstack? You (or your IT team). Question 2: If Internal DNS is setup and managed by me, how should it be setup? set it up any way you look. As long as the internal DNS server can resolve the hostname to IP addresses, you should be fine. Question 3: If it is setup and managed by Cloudstack, when did it get setup, and how can I find out what address Cloudstack is using for this server? Its not managed by cloudstack. Most of the time, your internal and external DNS settings would be your corporate DNS server. If a public DNS server can resolve IP addresses for hosts in your LAN, you can use any public DNS server as your internal and external DNS resolver.

RE: Unable to create a deployment for VM
Hello Sabareesh, The logs doesn't show the root cause of the problem you have seen on your setup. The Insufficient Server Capacity Exception that you have seen might have been thrown for the following reasons. 1. The host on which the VM previously resided on before stopping it, is no longer suitable to start the VM on. 2. There is no other host available in the cluster that can reach the primary storage on which the ROOT Volume is present. Kindly search the logs for information that can help us understand the cause of Reason 1, Regarding Avoid Set: Whenever user deploys or starts a stopped VM, the deployment planner plans the resources required for deploying or starting the VM. Avoid set is a memory data structure that is specific for the thread that is executing the request for VM deployment or VM Start Operation. During the execution of the request, the host picked for deploying or starting a VM is added to the Avoid Set. This will help the planner not to retry VM deployment or VM start operation on this host if there was a failure in its first attempt to use that particular host. Avoid Set is of no use if the VM got successfully deployed or started on its first attempt to use that host. Since the avoid set is a thread specific data structure, the information stored in it will be garbage collected after the death of the thread that is executing the request, Hope the above information helps you, Thank you, Chandan. -Original Message- From: remala sabareesh [mailto:rd.sabare...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2013 11:41 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Unable to create a deployment for VM Hi, I am able to setup succesfully the cloudstack and created the instances running successfully, i am able to stop and start the instances succesfully. but suddenly after stopping and starting the instance it gives me following exception... may i know what is the reason when i am checking the logs it shows like host is avoid set, pod is avoid set... and finally throws the insufficent server capacity exception.
