RE: Disable primary storage, not delete...

[Devdeep Singh]

If a storage pool is put in disabled state then it will not be picked up as a 
possible destination when a volume is being migrated or when a virtual machine 
is being migrated along with its volumes.

RE: Disable primary storage, not delete...

[Devdeep Singh]

Hi,

I was looking into implementing the ability to disable a storage pool for 
provisioning. I could think of two ways to do it

1. CloudStack admin could add a 'disabled' tag on the storage pool. The storage 
pool allocators would skip the pools for allocating volumes with the 'disabled' 
tag. 
2. Other option would be to add 'Disabled' as one of the states of storage 
pool. This could be a state in addition to "Up", "Maintenance" etc. A storage 
pool in "Disabled" state will not be picked up for provisioning volumes. This 
would require new apis for disabling/enabling storage pool.

Thoughts, comments?

Devdeep

RE: Host stuck in "Alert" status after adding a new primary storage

[Devdeep Singh]

Hi Amir,

Can you share some more logs of the management server? It looks like management 
server isn't able to connect to the host; but we'll have to look at rest of the 
logs to root cause the issue. What hypervisor are you working with?

RE: Cloudstack/Xenserver/GPU support

[Devdeep Singh]

Sanjay can correct me if I am wrong, but looks like a different resource gets 
loaded for XenServer 6.2 and XenServer 6.2 SP1. So if you are using 6.2 , 
cloudstack will not query the host for GPU details.

From the FS [1], under Interoperability and compatibility, it is supported for

Hi Amin,

I can reproduce the problem; the stack trace is similar to what Prashant 
pointed to. Do confirm you are seeing a similar stack trace in your logs and 
file a bug for the same. I'll submit a fix for the problem.

RE: VM's using custom offerings wont let us use the migrate host from UI !!!

[Devdeep Singh]

Hi Amin,

Right now I am not sure as to why the issue is there. If I get a chance, I'll 
give it a try and let you know if I find something.

RE: VM's using custom offerings wont let us use the migrate host from UI !!!

[Devdeep Singh]

How many hosts do you have in your setup and how are they distributed across 
clusters? Are all hosts running the same version of the xenserver hypervisor? 
Do you see the issue only with custom offering; or is it seen if an instance 
has been created with any other offering? Anything in the cloudstack logs when 
you try and list the hosts for migration from the UI?

RE: Not able to create instances on CloudStack

[Devdeep Singh]

Which hypervisor are you working with? Have you seeded the secondary storage 
with the systemvm template for the hypervisor?

RE: Multiple hypervisor through single management server

[Devdeep Singh]

Hi Tejas,

It should work but I would recommend that you seed the vmware systemvm template 
too on the secondary storage.

RE: Multiple hypervisor through single management server

[Devdeep Singh]

Hi Tejas,

For Hyper-V you need to create a zone in which Hyper-V is the only hypervisor 
type. Reason being, currently in cloudstack Hyper-V only works with SMB as a 
secondary storage. You can have a zone where a mixed set of other hypervisors 
are present, for example, xenserver, kvm etc, but for hyper-v you'll have to 
create a separate zone in which hyper-v is the only hypervisor. For a hyper-v 
zone; you'll have to register a secondary storage of type SMB.

Devdeep

RE: 4.2.1 storage motion of Instance

[Devdeep Singh]

This looks like a bug in 4.2.1. Can you elaborate more on the operation tried? 
Were you trying to migrate a volume (data disk) that was detached from a 
instance/vm to another storage pool?

Devdeep

Subject: 4.2.1 storage motion of Instance

We recently upgrade or Cloudstack from 4.1.0 to 4.2.1. hypervisor not upgraded 
and using xenserver 6.0.2

Since then, we are unable to storage xenmotion Instance from a Primary Storage 
to another. The pool is using local and shared storage and all kind of storage 
xenmotion fail.

moving Instances end up with following error message in cloudstack webui:
