Re: How to reserve IPs

2015-05-10 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Franky,

Can you share more info about you config, e.g. Is it a Basic or Advanced
Network, and what hypervisor are you using etc.

Ilya¹s suggestion of using a VM to Œreserve¹ IP¹s works really well, but
if I can understand your environment better, I may be able to make some
other suggestions as well.

Valerio,

Please login to SSVM and check if it is running and that the check-ssvm.sh (i 
believe this is what the script is called, but you can double check by doing 
"find / -type f |grep ssvm" ) does not give you any errors.

Re: Adding Second Zone

2015-05-07 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Christopher,

Re seeding secondary storage with system VM tempate, it's best if you do, 
however if the SSVM in the first zone has a route to the secondary storage in 
the new zone you can use the copy template command.

If when you added other templates you added them as all zones and not 
specifically for the first zone, once the new zone is online and the SSVM is 
running you should see them automatically replicate across.

You can copy templates between zones from the UI or API.

Regarding adding S3 backed secondary storage at a later date, you will run into 
problems with volume snapshots and the cleanest approach would be to add it on 
day one, or if adding later delete all the snapshots and then remove the 
exiting  secondary storage, before adding the the new one, but that can also be 
a tricky task.

I'm running commercial CP 4.5 Hotfix 3 and we're about to deploy a second site. 
I've been searching the CP and CS docs and mailing list for some of the 
pitfalls and haven't found a lot of information so I'm jumping in here with 
some questions. I'd love to learn from those who've done it already.

Our current environment looks like:


   * 6-host XenServer 6.2 SP1 cluster in a single pod/zone.
   * Two management servers and a DB master/slave in the same datacenter as the 
compute.
   * iSCSI primary storage, NFS secondary.

We've got a brand new XenServer 6.5 cluster ready to go in our second 
datacenter with a high-bandwidth redundant link to the first DC. We intend to 
create a second zone in the new facility and leave management in the first one 
for now. I've got the following questions I was hoping for some wisdom on:


   * Do I need to seed the system VM template to the NFS secondary storage in 
the new zone before I create the zone, or does it get copied from the first 
zone SS when creating the second?
   * Is it possible to copy templates between zones directly without 
export/import?
   * Our eventual goal is S3 region-wide secondary storage later in the year. 
Has anybody done the conversion successfully? My lab tests have been 
challenging against a RiakCS backend, with a successful API call for the 
conversion, but failing snapshot copies from XenServer to S3. The lab was on 
XenServer 6.5 - I haven't tried 6.2SP1 with S3.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Yuri,

Thanks for the update.  Would I be right in saying this is a local storage

I think I've only tested when using shared storage so I will get our developers

Hi Geoff,

We have raised the issue with citrix cloudPlatform and I believe they are 
working on it and should  contribute the fix back to cloudstack.

The problem itself as follows

if you have more than one host in the XEN cluster with the local storage and 
send the prepare_template api call for a new template the secondary storage 
template NFS directory will be mounted as SR on all hosts in the cluster and 
you will get the following error in the log

GetStorageStats Exception:SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_40The SR scan failed  
[opterr=['INTERNAL_ERROR', 'Db_exn.Uniqueness_constraint_violation("VDI", 
"uuid", "9fc07770-b9c0-4db6-a0e0-48a24c901db7")']]

The template will be copied to the local storage on only  server in the cluster 
and you will have to repeat the command to copy the template again. The only 
way to check if the template was copied to the local storage will be to query 
the  cloud.template_spool_ref table.

The first time a template is used, it is copied from Secondary to Primary,
then the VM is created, and in the case of XenServer is created as a
Œlinked clone¹. This linking of the VM to the Template means that whilst
there are VMs allocated to Primary Storage, the templates that the VMs are

If a 2nd VM is created based on the same template, the template is already

Hi All,

Quick question with regards to xenserver and deploying a cloudstack
instance from a template stored within secondary storage.

In this case it is secondary storage using NFS and deploying to local disk
on the xenserver. (cloudstack 4.3, Xen 6.0.1)

I believe this script is used to pull down the template:
/opt/cloud/bin/copy_vhd_from_secondarystorage.sh

I'm seeing a big variation when deploying 3 servers, for example. 2 of the
servers might start very quickly and one may take longer.

Is there any caching of the template taking place on the xen host its
self?
If a host has previously deployed a template, and is then asked to deploy
a
new instance using the template, will it have to go back to secondary
storage again or can it use a local cache of the vhd file?

Many thanks in advance for any responses.

Cheers!

Re: Xen - Deploying servers from a template

2015-04-28 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
The first time a template is used, it is copied from Secondary to Primary,
then the VM is created, and in the case of XenServer is created as a
Œlinked clone¹.  This linking of the VM to the Template means that whilst
there are VMs allocated to Primary Storage, the templates that the VMs are
using will always remain on Primary Storage.

If a 2nd VM is created based on the same template, the template is already
on Primary Storage so is not copied again.

If all the VMs which were using a Template are deleted or migrated to
alternate storage, the Template is no longer required and will be deleted
from Primary Storage.

This automatic clean up can be disabled by updating the global setting
storage.template.cleanup.enabled

RE: XenServer 6.5 - Security Groups

2015-04-20 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
@Tim - this was a fresh install of both ACS 4.5 and XenServer 6.5

@Koushik - /etc/sysctl.conf was correctly configured, and Linux Bridge was 
enabled etc

FYI we have now performed a code review and cannot see any differences between 
4.4. and 4.5 relating to Security Groups, so the current thinking is its 
related to XenServer 6.5

What is the output of "cat /etc/sysctl.conf"? Update it as per 
http://cloudstack-installation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/hypervisor/xenserver.html.
 If there was an upgrade from XS 6.2 to XS 6.5, then changes to sysctl.conf is 
not persisted.

RE: Netwok offerings

2015-04-20 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Vadim,

You can use the 'Shared Network' offering for this, and assign a Public IP 
range.  Just be aware that if you are using different NICs on your Hypervisors 
for Public and Guest traffic, the Shared Network is still treated as Guest 
traffic so you need to ensure the VLAN you assign to the Shared Network is 
mapped to the Guest NIC etc

Hi all,

Need you advice regarding network offers. I have ACS with advanced 
networking implemented. VPC works fine.  But probably not all clients need to 
have VPC. How can I offer public IP address from IP pool (shared?) without 
creating VPC ??   For example client just need 1 VM with public IP address and 
that’s it.

P.S. I use VLAN isolation method for all the networks.

RE: XenServer 6.5 - Security Groups

2015-04-20 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
We are currently testing a 4.5.1 CloudStack deployment with XenServer 6.5 and 
the Security Groups are very temperamental.

Sometimes they allow traffic, sometimes they block it.  Lots of errors in the 
cloud.log file on the XenServer saying failed to update iptables etc

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Re: How to modify default public traffic vlan id

2015-04-18 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Cool,

Then you basically need just stop all the VMS which use public IPS, namely VRs 
and System VMS.

Stop all VMs and this will cause the VRs to also stop.

To stop system VMs you need to disable the zone first or they will just keep 
restarting.  So disable the zone then destroy the system VMs.

Now you have two options, modify the VLAN in the DB, or remove the existing 
public IP range and then add it back in using the new VLAN.

RE: [urgent] not able to start SSVM in new deployment.

2015-04-17 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
You say you used 'pre-setup' but what type of storage is it, NFS, iSCSI, FC etc

It looks like the XenServer cannot write to the storage, so have you checked 
permissions and also confirmed that the XenServer can create files directly on 
the storage etc

Re: unable to find created template

Is the template 'featured' or are you logged in as a user from a different 
account than the account who owns the template so can't see it etc

Hi Vadim,

You really need the 4.5 branch for XenServer 6.5

Your best bet is to build 4.5.1 from source as 4.5.0 has a bug specific to VPC.

4.5.1 RC1 is currently being voted on but I think there might be a second round 
of voting so building from source should get you the latest code Base.

Hello Daniel,

Cloudstack 4.5 is not recommended to deploy due to bug at VPC. I don't know 
exactly if it is connected to VR or CS code, but better wait for 4.5.1 release

Hello all

According to the documentation I found, the virtual router should run a DHCP 
server for the guest network. On Cloudstack 4.5 I can - however
- - not find a DHCP daemon running there, neither is there any installed on the 
virtual router VM.

I can do that of course, but I was wondering whether this is maybe not the 
intended way to go. Is there another way DHCP is done in 4.5 or is this a bug?

Hi Guys,

I'm running ACS 4.5 in Dev and I've come across an issue where I can't delete 
an ISO that has failed to upload.  It might be an unavailable webserver or 
whatever, so the template creates an entry in the DB, but never actually 
downloads or installs.  When I try to delete it via the UI or Cloudmonkey it 
throws an error:

errortext = Please specify a valid template

Seen that before?

Thanks
Len

RE: Short question on basic network zones

2015-03-11 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Daniel,

Yes, the Guest VMs can (and should) use a different Network than the Hosts.

If you are using XenServer as your Hosts, simply use one NIC (or Bond) for the 
Host Management Traffic and set the Default VLAN on the Switch Port as 
XenServer cannot tag its Management Traffic.

For Guest Traffic, whilst you do not configure a VLAN for Guest Traffic within 
CloudStack, you simply either create a Virtual Network or Bond within XenServer 
and set a VLAN tag, or if using dedicated NIC(s) for Guest traffic, set the 
VLAN on the Switch Ports.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Hello all

I was wondering, is it possible for a basic network zone to have a guest 
network which is different from the network that the hosts are in.

I am currently intending to build a setup where the guests use a different /24 
than the hosts, and I have the bridge configured for it and the vlan also works 
on the hypervisor host itself, I just can't get any traffic to the guest IPs.

Do I need a zone with advanced networking for that?

Kind regards;

Many thanks Lucian and Geoff for getting back to me.

It appears I'm hitting this bug:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6476

As cloudstack is repeatedly spinning up a virtual router into a pod which
already has one, and so instances in the other pod are unable to get an IP
address from dhcp.

I'm not sure though which version the fix for the above appears in, it says
it affects 4.4.0 and is fixed in 4.4.0, but it doesn't appear in any
"issues fixed in this release" section of the docs for any of the releases
I have checked (4.4.0 onwards). I have also gone back and checked 4.3.1 and
4.3.2 but it is not mentioned there either. Can anyone confirm which
versions it is fixed in?


Thanks!

In Basic Networking the preferred deployment method is exactly how you

Each POD should have a unique Guest IP Range and Reserved IP Range.  I
also consider it best practice to have your Hosts on a completely different

The Idea is that each POD is a broadcast domain contained within its top
of rack switching, and routing of guest traffic between PODs is handled by
your core switches.

Hi All,

Apologies, second question in one evening :-)

If you have 1 zone in cloudstack configured for basic networking, and 2
pods. Are you able to configure these pods to have completely different
subnets on different vlans?

This is certainly possible to do in the webinterface, but will it work in
practice? Or should these pods be on the same subnet, with the same
gateway, and just have different ip ranges assigned to them?

Hi Ian,

CloudMonkey's config system design was sort of based on git and similar
command line tools. The config is independent of multiple sessions per
user, though every user has their own config file. The only difference
in this design wrt git is that CloudMonkey does not provide a local vs
global scope like git as there is no concept of repo/directories to
implement that. So, if you want to use CloudMonkey and running a cron
job; make sure they are not run by the same user as they will share the
same gitconfig. At the same time, CloudMonkey has a way to profile
server profiles, so except for few global settings (color, output etc)
you can talk to multiple ACS mgmt servers and switch between them.


Though when multiple cloudmonkeys are already running they can have
different in-memory configs which are synchronized with the user's
config whenever a set command is called.

A quick solution I can think of is to move those global settings to
server profiles, so if in a server profile a global setting is redefined
(say color, output type, etc) we can load those settings whenever you do
a set profile . This way you can run multiple
cloudmonkeys, by cron and on shell etc, with a requirement that before
you run anything you do run the set commands (choose profile, or change
options) and then continue etc.

I don't have a strong motivation to change this, as this is how many
command line tools work. But, if it would be great if you have a better
design to propose then let's discuss it (perhaps in a different thread).

Hi Ian,

I always have a standatd set of commands at the beginning of every script 
defining  the required settings such as color false etc.

If I need to use a specific setting such as table output, I always set it back 
to default as soon as possible within the script.

This is just my methodology but I make very heavy use of cloudmonkey scripts 
and it has not let me down yet.

Question - Currently, options set in Cloudmonkey seem to persist into
~/.cloudmonkey/config.  For example, if one uses cloudmonkey
interactively, and changes the display setting from json to table (without
putting the setting back to json when finished), any cron jobs that depend
on the output set to json will break.  (Unless they explicitly set that
option in their cron script.)

I was wondering if that was a feature?  I suppose I could always have
separate cloudmonkey config files for different scripts, but I was
wondering what other folks do…

Hi, Geoff:

We have followed your blog to implement Xenserver pool HA feature,  thanks for 
sharing it.

I have one suggested update to your blog post, in case other people may 
encounter the same issue we had.

In your script for enabling pool HA,  it left HA timeout to the default value.  
This default timeout value may not be long enough to prevent premature 
hypervisor self fencing.  In our case, all three of our XenServers went into 
self fencing during a planned NetApp cluster maintenance when cluster head 
switchover happened.

Here is a Citrix support doc describing how to set  new HA timeout values:
 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX139166

Thanks,

Yiping

RE: Error while Adding xenserver in CS 4.2.1

2015-02-19 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Keerthi,

Firstly has the host been added into the XenServer Cluster and had all the 
appropriate IPs added, especially for things like Storage etc.  The act of 
adding into the Pool will auto configure all the Network Names and Bonds, but 
you still need to add any extra IP Addresses.

The error is making reference to being unable to mount NFS hence my suggestion 
that it cannot actually mount the NFS Primary or Secondary Storage etc.

Regards

RE: dedicated-ha-hosts

2015-02-19 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Ugo,

If you configure a Host to be a HA Host, it does not get used for normal VMs 
and will remain empty until a HA event occurs.

Hi all,
I read that in the CloudStack system is possible to dedicate an host to restart 
the vm with flag HA 
active(http://cloudstack-administration.readthedocs.org/en/4.3/reliability.html#dedicated-ha-hosts).

I would understand if this type of host is still used for new vm or is 
automatically maintained discharge to be available in case of breakage of 
another host.

thanks

RE: Unable to start a VM due to insufficient capacity

2015-02-19 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
HI Ugo,

Unfortunately we still continue to run into this problem on a regular basis.

I've had some success increasing the RAM & CPU allocations to the VR, 
especially where I was starting a large number of VMs which were all requesting 
new Passwords from the VR and causing it to lock up.

Regards

Hi Geoff,
we continue to find the problem on networks in a (seemingly) random.

The only solution is to do the cleaning of the network by hand, but it is not a 
good method, because it is not automatic and freeze for a moment all hosts on 
the network.

I would understand if this problem is related to version 4.3.0 or if it's been 
fixed in some later version.


thanks

RE: Macchinina Template

2015-02-17 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Yes and No...

These are XenServers running as VMs on top of a VMware Host, but they have HVM 
enabled, so whilst they are 'nested', they believes they are running on real 
hardware.

I have not tested it on my VirtualBox build yet which is nested and does not 
have HVM, however the template is registered as not requiring HVM so they 
should still live migrate.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

What is really weird is, the directory /opt/cloud was created and populated

Seems cloudstack is trying to create the /etc/xapi.d/plugins and
/opt/cloud/bin but they already exists.

And in the panel i got this one:

Hi Geoff, thanks for your interest.

Short answer: no

Long answer: bundling the xenserver/vmware/hyperv tools and dependencies would 
probably increase the size of this template many times, to a point it may 
actually be worth using a minimal CentOS or Debian installation.

Additionally because Macchinina is built from sources (buildroot) and has no 
package management or even glibc for that matter, I doubt the binaries shipped 
by Citrix would work.

It's real shame XS can't perform live migrations without VM tools.. :(

Re: How to Setup CS 4.5 Testing on VirtualBox

2015-02-08 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Keerthi,

How are getting the 4.5.0 code, building from source or using a repo?

I just tried it again using the ACS 4.5.0 RC2 Repo of 
http://packages.shapeblue.com/cloudstack/testing/centos/4.5/ and it correctly 
shows the Public Network Icon http://postimg.org/image/ov767u2yp/

The only reason there would be no Public Network is if you accidentally chose 
the Basic Network OR Advanced With Security Groups, this is an extra check box 
at the bottom of the screen which you do NOT want to select

RE: CS 4.5 Testing on VirtualBox Could not see Public ICON

2015-02-06 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
If you choose Basic Zone there will be no Public Network.

The default wizard which starts the first time you login only creates a basic 
zone, to create an advanced zone, select the 'I have used cloudstack before' 
option then go to Infrastructure/zones/add zone etc

Public Network only exist in Advanced Zones, or Basic Zones with EIP & ELB 
(requires a NetScaler)

Hi Dan,

Please share the following to help the community help you

1. version of cloudstack
2. Hypervisor Type
3. Primary Storage Type e.g. NFS / iSCSI

I can confirm CloudStack is supposed to delete Root Volumes from physical 
storage after the VM has been deleted, but Data volumes are left in CloudStack 
as a safeguard against accidental deletion.  However if you then delete the 
Data volume from the UI, it will also be deleted from Primary Storage.

There are some settings which control the expunge delay within CloudStack, 
these are:

expunge.delay
expunge.interval
expunge.workers

If you could also share what these settings are, that would also help

RE: How to external IP for Guest Network

2015-02-02 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
An alternative and possibly easier approach would be as follows:

1. Create Shared Network and allocate the required VLAN (Whilst we are using 
the Shared Network offering, we can still create what is effectively an 
isolated network by assigning to an Account, we are simply using this offering 
as it does not use the VR as the Gateway Device)
2. Use the API to create a VM with the required IP address on the appropriate 
network.  The VR for the network will allocate the IP to the VM via DHCP

This approach ensures CloudStack is aware of the IP the VM should have, and no 
database 'hacking' is required, but it does use DHCP on the VR and not an 
external DHCP Server.  If you still need to run the external DHCP Server, you 
could use MAC Filtering to prevent conflicts etc.

Hi Keerthi,

External dhcp server integration to cloudstack is not there currently.

You can try the following:
1. create shared network offering with out dhcp (or with out any service) 2. 
Create shared network using this offering. Give ip range and vlan same as your 
dhcp range while creating network..
3. Configure your external dhcp server .
3. Deploy vm in this network. vm will get the ip from the external dhcp server.
4. Take the ip of the vm ip address from the vm console and update the vm nic 
ip in nics table ip4_address.
5. Also manually update your dns record for the vm.

Thanks,
Jayapal

RE: VM status can't be updated after VM is stopped from Hypervisor

2015-01-29 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Ivan,

CloudStack is your Cloud Orchestration engine, its main jobs are to 
deploy/stop/start VMs etc.

The idea is that if you want to stop a VM, you tell CloudStack to stop it, you 
should not be stopping VMs from the Hypervisor.

Regards

Subject: VM status can't be updated after VM is stopped from Hypervisor

Hello, Guys!

We've got an installation of CS4.4.2+XenServer 6.2 (last updates)



If I try to stop any vm from Hypervisor, or halt it from inside the vm, the 
state in my Xen is Stopped, but the state isn't synced to CS.

It's still running, and I can stop it manually in web GUI. After I stop 
manulally the vm is deleted from Xen as it should.



At the same time I can see the following strings in management log(see
below)

Just the same behavior happens on all 3 CS installation we have
(XS6.2+CS4.4.2)

4.3 used to work properly, maybe 4.4.0 too(don't remember)



What can I do to fix it?

RE: Removing a host from a cluster and adding it to another

2015-01-28 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Kyle,

If your main goal was to upgrade the Cluster to XenServer 6.5 you have two 
options.

1. Upgrade the cluster in-situ, and you can use this guide to help you 
http://shapeblue.com/citrix/how-to-upgrade-an-apache-cloudstack-citrix-xenserver-cluster/

2. Build a new Cluster with cleanly installed Hosts and then live migrate the 
VMs into the new Cluster

Option 1 does not involve taking hosts out of the Cluster, the key is to 
upgrade the Pool Master (and only the pool master) first, then upgrade 
remaining hosts one at a time.

For option 2 you need to ensure each Cluster has 3 Hosts before you put any 
Client VMs on them as running Clusters with less than three Hosts in production 
is definitely not recommended.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Subject: RE: Removing a host from a cluster and adding it to another

Hi Geoff,
So question for you.  The purpose behind me doing this is to test upgrade a 
single host from Xen 6.2 to 6.5.  I was moving the host out of its original 
cluster so as not to impact any running VM's in the existing cluster (I haven't 
attempted to upgrade XenServer before, so I want to be extra careful).  Does 
that approach makes sense to you?  Given the time I've sunk into this over the 
past day, I'm thinking I may reinstall with Xen 6.2, add it to its own CS 
cluster, and then attempt the upgrade to 6.5.

Kyle

Kyle,

I'm guessing there is still something referencing the old Pool the Host used to 
belong to which is causing the problem.

I really recommend you just re-install XenServer from scratch and have a clean 
host.

A XenServer 6.5 install takes literally 10 mins to do a manual install as there 
are no Hotfixes to apply yet, a XenServer 6.2 install can take an hour due to 
all the Hotfixes but you only need to apply the following as they contain all 
the others not listed:

XS62ESP1.xsupdate
XS62ESP1003.xsupdate
XS62ESP1005.xsupdate
XS62ESP1009.xsupdate
XS62ESP1014.xsupdate
XS62ESP1016.xsupdate

So that would be six reboots of the host to apply all the patches up to 
XS62ESP1016

I also recommend you invest some time setting up a PXE deployment architecture 
which can auto install XenServer and all the patches, then if you ever need to 
re-install a host or deploy a new one, you can do so with very little effort 
and enjoy a nice hot coffee while it does all the work for you.

RE: Removing a host from a cluster and adding it to another

2015-01-28 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Kyle,

The official advice has always been to re-install a XenServer before trying to 
add it back into CloudStack.

When a host is added into CloudStack a number of changes are made, and whilst 
it is possible to manually clean up the configuration, there is always a risk 
you miss something which could cause you problems later on.

Hi Hollman,

You need 4 IPs as there is one for the default Source NAT, then 1 per VM to 
enable Static NAT.

I believe your original request was to enable three VMs to each have a unique 
IP when they access the Internet.

Sorry, wrong terminology

You need to use the Static NAT feature and you will need 1 Public IP per VM in 
addition to the original Source NAT IP, so you will 4 Public IPs in total

RE: Hostname and IP address of VMs created from template.

2015-01-23 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Bhavin,

Firstly the VMs Hostname is always taken from the 'name' setting and not the 
'display name' this is why the name setting cannot have spaces (as Hostnames 
are not allowed to have spaces) but the display name can.

Regarding 
https://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/append-displayname-vms.html
 - This setting changes how the MVs are listed on vCenter, and does not 
influence the VMs Hostname

Thank you Geoff for the response, could you give insights how will it set 
automatically on guest VMs. According to the Documentation ("
https://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/append-displayname-vms.html";),
when we create a VM with Display name we still do not see the hostname set as 
display name. We are using centos "CentOS 5.3(64-bit) no GUI (vSphere)" 
provided by cloudstack. Hypervisor type is VMWare. Does the default template 
miss any scritps to set the hostname as display name. We have set the hostname 
to localhost and manually stopped and rebooted but still the hostname was not 
set to display name.

You need to make sure you have prepared the VM you used to make the template 
correctly.

There are some instructions in the docs.

Re: Using Xen Server and KVM together

2015-01-17 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Tilak,

CloudStack can most certainly manage kvm and XenServer at the same time.

Firstly download the latest XenServer system VM Template in line with the 
install docs for your version.

You then need to setup the Xenserver Traffic Labels on each network in 
CloudStack, setting them the same as the actual names of the networks or bonds 
you have setup on your XenServer hosts.

Regarding lack of Intel VT support you need to run the following to update the 
database BEFORE you try adding the hosts

mysql -p cloud -e \ "INSERT INTO cloud.configuration (category, 
instance, component, name, value, description) VALUES ('Advanced', 'DEFAULT', 
'management-server', 'xen.check.hvm', 'false', 'Shoud we allow only the 
XenServers support HVM');"

Finally take a look at 
http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack/xenserver-native-ha-with-cloudstack/ to help 
you setup XenServer Management HA.

Hi..

I have been using cloudstack using KVM for some time and would now like to
add a new cluster with Xenserver Hosts..
I wished to know is that possible for a single cloudstack management server
to handle both Xen and KVM? If yes can anybody tell me how to proceed to do
the same?
Its because the templates for system VM for Xen are different than that of
KVM and I read that adding support for Xen has to be done before setting up
the Management Server. I would not like any changes to my current
cloudstack management server as currently some VMs are running on it.

Also I wished to know is Intel VT necessary to be enabled for Xen too like
it is for KVM. I browsed a few links and they said that Xen can also work
without Intel VT enabled from the BIOS given extensive GUI based processing
is not required on the VMs. So does Cloudstack accept Xen Hosts with Intel
VT enabled?

RE: Help! cant perform any operation on VMs

2015-01-16 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Sonali,

As well as updating the DB did you stop then start the VR (note a simple 
restart may not work, you must stop and start it)

A good test is to log into the VR and tail the messages log, then when you 
start a VM you should see the DHCP log entries as it gets updated.

The attached log is indicating that CloudStack cannot update the VR.  It's also 
saying your Zone is in an avoid set.

The next step would be to restart the network and use the clean up option, this 
will destroy the VR and create a new one.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with HA on your XenServer Cluster, but just in 
case it was not setup correctly also try disabling HA on your Cluster etc

r-4-VM is a virtual router. In CloudStack it says status "starting" but it's up 
on host.

I have cluster of 4 Hosts. With HA enabled as per Geoff's guide 
http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack/xenserver-native-ha-with-cloudstack

Right now I have only one virtual router and 4 VMs in same isolated network. 
And on all those I can't perform any function.

RE: VM showing half of the provisioned memory.

2015-01-14 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Abdul,

This was something Len and I discussed a while back but I am still seeing 
strange behaviour in my current 4.3.2 test system.

What I am seeing is that Windows VMs get 4x the RAM allocated to them on the 
Hypervisor (XenServer) but the OS is also reporting 4x the RAM.

Linux VMs are getting 2x the RAM allocated to them on the Hypervisor 
(XenServer) but the VM is still only reporting its allocated RAM.

However if I recall when I first spotted this in earlier versions, Linux VMs 
would actually get LESS RAM allocated to them which sounds like what you are 
seeing.

I'm sure I logged this as a bug and it looks like the behaviour has changed but 
it is still behaving strangely, at least on XenServer.

I'm sticking with my previous advice to Len which was to not mark Templates as 
Dynamically Scalable.  As Len points out, you simply change the Template 
configuration and then Stop/Start  your VMs.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Hi Abdul,

Are you running XenServer with Dynamic Scaling enabled on your templates?

I had this issue and the only way to fix it was to disable the "Dynamically 
Scalable" option on my templates, then shut down my vms (not restart) and then 
bring them up again.  After that they received all of the memory. This was only 
on Linux machines. Windows vms are fine.

I am using ACS 4.3. It sounds like a bug to me, but not sure.

Hi Yuri,

To be totally honest, I've not tested upgrading XenServer once the Pool HA has 
been enabled, but I would imagine you first disable the Pool HA, then proceed 
with the upgrade, then re-enable HA at the end.

I would still set manage.xenserver.pool.master=false whilst upgrading the Pool 
Master.

If the pool master is managed outside the cloudstack, does it mean that there 
is no need to set manage.xenserver.pool.master=false when applying patched to 
the Xen cluster with pool HA enabled ?

Will it just  be enough  to unmanage the cluster in cloudstack , disable the

RE: Xenserver pool HA in Cloudstack

2015-01-07 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Ian,

When I say

" If the Pool Master goes down a Slave will take over and all VMs which were 
running on the failed Pool Master will be automatically restarted on alternate 
Hosts, but only as long as their Compute Offering had the ‘Offer HA’ feature 
enabled."

I am saying that if the Pool Master fails, then a new Pool Master will 
automatically take over and all HA VMs auto restart on alternate Hosts with no 
admin interaction.  The reason for this blog is that since the release of 
Hotfix XS62ESP1004 if you do not configure Pool HA then in the event of a Pool 
Master failure you will need to manually promote a new Pool Master.

So as long as you enable Pool HA, you do get a self-healing cluster from the 
point of view that a new Pool Master is allocated, but yes you do then manually 
need to fix the failed host then enable it to re-connect to the pool by 
disabling HA, then re-enabling HA which is a manual process.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Agreed.  Very good article.  I have a question though - is it really 
appropriate to describe this as “self-healing”, when there are manual steps to 
be performed in case of failure of the Pool Master?

Typically, I use this term to refer to situations where the master fails,
a different host gets elected master, and all is well.   Then when the old
master is brought back online, it just becomes a normal pool member, like the 
rest of the hosts.  No “emergency mode”, etc…

RE: Xenserver pool HA in Cloudstack

2015-01-07 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Yuri,

Whilst testing this, I killed off the Host Masters approx. 10 times, and on 
about 2 occasions the old Pool Master did automatically re-join as a slave, but 
on the other 8 occasions they did not.

I think it depended on how long they were down for, so a simple reset of the 
host was OK, but if it was down for say 10 mins then the recovery steps were 
required etc.

I have applied patches up to and including XS62ESP1014 but you say you have 
only applied up to XS62E014 which is pre SP1 and more importantly pre 
XS62ESP1004 which is the patch which triggers the requirement for this 
configuration.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Hi Geoff,

Great article. Just wanted let you know that  I tested the configuration on my 
test environment  and everything worked as you described, apart from the 
'Recovering from Host Failures' bit.

In my case the former master  came up after reboot and joined the pool as a 
slave. No manual steps were needed. Below is the extract from the messages on 
the host.

@Suresh,

The link you referenced is a design doc for a possible future feature, this is 
NOT in CloudStack as of today.

@Sonali,

As promised, here is a link to the article I have been working on today 
covering the use of XenServer HA with CloudStack,

http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack/xenserver-native-ha-with-cloudstack/

In summary if you have installed XS62ESP1004 then you MUST start using 
XenServer HA on your XenServer Clusters, if you don’t, and the Pool Master goes 
down, no new Pool Master will be elected.

RE: Load Balancing Cloudstack Management Servers

2014-12-08 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Glenn

Assuming you are going to use the same Load Balancers for inbound access to the 
GUI by your customers, and you are going to put the SSL Cert on the LBs, then 
you need to load balance 443 which maps to 8080 on the Management Servers.

If the same LBs are also handling the traffic from the System VMs (they 
normally do) then you need to load balance 8250.

If you need to have the 'un-authenticated api port' enabled for say use with 
Cloud Portal Business Manager and you want to pass this traffic through your 
load balancers, then ensure it is only accessible from a private internal 
network, and NEVER expose to the public internet etc.

Regarding NFS, yes, if using multiple Management Servers, they should just be 
Management Servers and not providing any other services etc

When trying to load balance two Cloudstack Management servers which ports

Second question , just a confirmation if using two CS management server

RE: Strange instance boot issue

2014-12-08 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Allesandro,

This is just a hunch, but could it be that Windows only uses its 1st CPU to 
handle the boot process.  If this is the case when you allocate 4vCPU @ 500Mhz 
it only has 500Mhz of CPU power to process the very intensive boot process, vs 
having 2000Mhz when you allocate a single vCPU @ 200MHz.

I believe it's always better to provide a faster single vCPU than multiple 
Slower vCPUs as there are overheads on the Guest OS and Hypervisor when dealing 
with multiple vCPUs.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Subject: Re: Strange instance boot issue

Ok... maybe I found the issue!!
Again... I'm learning CS in these month so you've to be patient with me! :) But 
this thing is strange...
I configure some Compute offering setting CPU speed to 500 MHz and changing 
vCPU number for each offer, all the offerings are with CPU CAP enabled.
Now, if I deploy a W2008R2 instance from a template or an ISO (yes
W2012 is working fine! :-/) with 4vCPU (4*500 MHz = 2 GHz) I get the issue... 
sloow boot time (about 15 mins).
If I deploy the same instance with 1 vCPU with 2000 MHz, the instance boot in 7 
sec!!
Why???

Re: Fresh 4.4.2 - Unable to get status on .... my xenservers

2014-12-03 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Matthew,

If you have used a XenServer in a CloudStack deployment and then remove it, you 
need to re-install XenServer before you can use it again.

I strongly recommend spending some time to develop a PXE deployment process for 
this, and then you can deploy a new XenServer in approx 30 mins, including all 
the updates which should install automatically etc.

Kind Regards

Subject: Fresh 4.4.2 - Unable to get status on  my xenservers

First I am not sure what is causing this, I have been testing 4.3  and 4.4
multiple times and didn't notice this problem till middle of last month when
I processed all xenserver updates and then tried to go to 4.4.1. I was
getting the same error that I am unable to get status of my xenservers. I
wiped out everything but the xenservers, those I just removed from the pool
and let them reboot and added them to a new pool. In ACS it says its trying
to start the SSVM and the Console VM but they stay in the starting state.
I'm sure it is because of this error. The agent show up in ACS so I don't
know why it can't talk to the xenservers. I can ping them from the
management servers.

  We have deployed Cloudstack 4.3 does cloudstack 4.3.1 available and if it is

 currently it is venilla installation so we can upgrade from 4.3 to 4.3.1 
therefore above clarification would really help to deploy stable version.

Had one last question: Can this random placing of snapshots on multiple sec 
stores be changed/ modified?? It must be coded in java/ script file right??

Yohan

Assuming you are not already using the new one, simply take the old one 
offline, copy all the data to the new device nd then configure if with the same 
IP as the original then bring it back on line etc

Just want your opinion on this:

Is there any way/ steps to transfer data (volumes/ Snapshots/ Templates) from 
the first Sec Store (60GB) over to the new Sec Store (200GB); assuming I want 
my new Sec Store to be the only Secondary Storage available for the Zone??

Hi Yohan,

if I'm not mistaken, you can not do that this way. The way secondary storage 
works when you have more than 1 secondary storage NFS - is that l PUBLIC stuff 
(ISOs, TEMPLATES that are defined as not private) - are replicated across ALL 
secondary storage NFS servers. Private stuff (that is not defined as public) - 
so private ISOs, private TEMPLATES, and of course snapshots, are randomly 
distributed across all secondary storage NFS servers...

Hope this clears things.

Cheers

Re: Place Volume Snapshots on a different Secondary Storage

2014-11-28 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Andrija is spot on here nd in addition once a snapshot chain has started using 
a particular sec storage all snapshots linked to that VM volume will always use 
the same sec storage.

New snapshots will randomly select a sec storage and I believe the available 
capacity is not taken into account - it's truly random

Re: security group and xenserver query

2014-11-26 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Sorry Nux, but YES there are Customer Specific VLANs in a Security Group 
enabled Advanced Zone.

When you create an Advanced Zone with Security Groups you initially create a 
'default guest network' and you allocate a VLAN and IP range to this network.  
This is then used by System VMs and can also be used by all Accounts.

However you can then, as a Root Admin, create additional Guest Networks using 
the 'Offering for shared security group enabled networks' and dedicate this to 
a Domain or an Account. When doing so you allocate a different VLAN for each 
additional Guest Network.

The IP range allocated to each network can be either a true Public IP range OR 
a Private IP range fronted by a Router/Firewall/Load Balancer etc  but this 
will be outside of CloudStack control.

So to answer the original question it is possible to allocate a separate VLAN 
to each Guest Network and if required to front this network with a Load 
Balancer and Firewall to provide additional services, but you need to manage 
these devices separately so is not a typical configuration for a Public Cloud, 
but could be used in a Private Cloud.

No, in Advanced Zone with SG - just like in Basic zone - there is no per 
customer VLAN; there are no firewall, load balancer or additional NICs; there 
is also no IPv6.

A VM will just get a public IP via DHCP and that's it, the customers are 
isolated via "security groups" which is a fancy name for iptables rules.

Hope this clears it up.

RE: security group and xenserver query

2014-11-26 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
If you want NAT and Load Balancing you need to do this on the Physical Device 
which terminates the VLANs etc (this will be outside of CloudStack)

Thanks for simplification,
  so it means that each account will have seprate VLAN with its own subnet and 
those VLANs will be created and configured in physical switch?

if architecture is above mentioned way configured then how can we achieve NAT 
and loadbalancing?

Thanks

RE: security group and xenserver query

2014-11-26 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
I like to think of Advanced Network with SG as simply multiple Basic Networks, 
each on its own VLAN. You have the same features (or rather lack of) as you 
would with a Basic Zone, but you have multiple Guest Networks.

so NAT and loadbalancers are not possible if we use security group?

so it meanse there will be no internal and external IPs for VMs. is it correct?

Subject: Re: Xenserver and CEPH ?

Slightly pissed at the "switched to Openstack" remark.
Using Openstack as a means to "force/suggest" new features into ACS is silly. I 
also want KVM snapshotting to happen, but I think there are more important 
things to fix first.

In my personal view, I wish ACS stopped completely development on new features 
for a while and made the current features rock solid.

I know we need new features to keep developers happy who would otherwise slit 
their veins from boredom, but I personally do not care that much for S3 
compatibility or SDN or what not. When my deployment will be large enough to 
need that I'll probably have enough money to develop them myself (and 
contribute them back).

Most people do not need FreeIPA or who knows what other bells and whistles.
I do like Openstack, I know & like some people involved with it and I use(d) it 
(was even a mod on the RDO forum), but I don't want the bloody kitchen sink in 
my servers. I want peace of mind and reliable services for my customers who 
also don't give a rat's arse about said features; all they want is their 
application or site to work 24/7.

Personally I want everything that we have NOW fixed, polished; usage stats 
working (with SG zones), proper backup and restore of volumes, security groups 
finalised (hello IPv6, it's almost 2015!), no silly GUI mistakes or typos in 
new releases and so on.

Competing with Openstack head on is a dead end, stop chasing! Everybody pushes 
all sorts of stuff into it which takes a lot of time, effort and money to get 
working, if at all.
Average Joe will not use that in production, just like he won't use Gentoo, 
Fedora or Archlinux in production, it sucks; you use battle tested stuff like 
CentOS or Ubuntu LTS.

For Average "IT manager" Joe to be capable of using Openstack in production 
companies like Mirantis or eNovance need to take their time, freeze it, slow it 
the fsck down, polish it, decide which features can't be used actually (many, I 
bet!), package it in a sexy wrapping and then put it up for sale (or download).

Basically they'll have to build a Cloudstack. We're already there! Sort of ... 
:-)

RE: The Simplest way to Run CloudStack on VirtualBox

2014-11-18 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
An alternative to using DevCloud is to follow this article and deploy 
CloudStack on VirtualBox using a XenServer Hypervisor

http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack/virtualbox-test-env/

It’s a configuration which is very close to a Production setup so perfect for 
test and demo etc

Hi Ian,

I just tried to create an instance with Tiny compute offering and Tiny disk 
offering and it worked. However I could not ssh into the instance. May be ssh 
was not configured when I imported the Ubuntu 12.04 ISO into CloudStack.

I have few concerns, under System Capacity I can see the following:

[cid:ii_i2mogb810_149c0db7491981cd]

However I cannot spawn an instance from compute offerings Small or Medium, I 
get the error mentioned in the previous mail.

One other quick question: how can we assign a ssh key pair and a public IP 
address when spawning an instance?​

Many Thanks

RE: Assign multiple users to a single virtual machine

2014-11-18 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Tilak,

The console proxy feature connects you to the local console session of the VM 
via the Hypervisor, hence only one connection is allowed.

For more than one use to connect to and manage a VM simply use SSH to connect 
to the VM etc

Can such a capability be attained somehow on cloudstack virtual machines or am 
I going wrong somewhere?? :/ :/

Re: Assign multiple users to a single virtual machine

2014-11-17 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
Hi Tilak

This is exactly the use case for the Projects feature.  As long as the accounts 
your two users belong to are in the same domain you can create a project and 
add them both to it.  Any VMS created belong to the project and you can add and 
remove users at will.

Hi..
I was wondering if I can assign same virtual machine to multiple users so
that they can access it from there UI.

For example:-
I have a machine i-2-3-vm running centos and two users user1 and user2
Now I want that when user1 or user2 logs into cloudstack they both can see
this i-2-3-vm on there interface and they both can access the machine via
browser on clicking the console button..

Is such a thing possible with the current cloudstack architecture anyhow?
If yes please let me know how to do it.

Hi guys,
I'm quite new to CS and I'm having this issue.
When I deploy a WIN2012 instance and try to open the VM console, it is too
small for the lowest WIN2012 resolution and the result is that the console
windows is focused in the upper-left corner of the Win Desktop.
Also if I move the window with the position bar of the console, it will
reposition in upper-left corner when I click the mouse button inside the
window.
This makes it completely unusable and I have to open 3389 port through the
VR to permit the RDP connection to the WIN2012 instance.
Is there any way to "resize" VM console window??

Thank you!

Subject: Feature requests and a feature request: userid field in the 
vm_instance table

Hi all,

Is this mailing list the right place to raise feature requests? If so, I have a 
small one.

I think it would be handy if the userid of the user that created a VM was 
recorded in the database in the vm_instance table. Currently, the only way I 
know of to find the user that deployed a VM is by checking the logs. There's an 
owner field in the vm_instance table but this seems to be the account ID of the 
account the user belongs to.

By being able to find the user that deployed a VM, it makes VM cleanups much 
easier since you know who to contact for each VM. A similar thing in the other 
tables for the other resources would be useful too when trying to cleanup 
networks and volumes, etc. Also, if this change went ahead, then the API and 
GUI could be changed also to show the user details for the VM when listing the 
VM's details.

Thanks,

Dave

RE: Hosts per cluster?

2014-11-13 Thread Geoff Higginbottom
If you have very busy Hosts, with lots of VMs on them, XAPI can get overloaded 
etc.  CloudStack communicates with the Pool Master, so the more Hosts in the 
Cluster, the more work the Pool Master has to do.

Of course it all depends on your workloads (number of VMs per Host) or Host 
Spec as Larger VMs or smaller Hosts (less RAM and CPU) will result in fewer VMs 
per host so you could probably run more Hosts in the Cluster etc

I can fix this, I added this because earlier people could have create a profile 
with blank name (empty string) which caused weird things.

I’ll have to check this, by launching do you mean when cloudmonkey starts (from 
terminal) or when an API is called within interpreter mode?

GH: When launching from a terminal it takes a log longer to get to the 
cloumonkey prompt, and scripts also take a lot longer to run

There was a shell lexical parsing issue I fixed and then the unicode support I 
added, it could be a side-effect I’ll check it out.

Can you check the current profile’s timeout? The default is 3600 (seconds, or 
1hour).

GH: The timeout is set for each script, and is typically 10 secs which has 
never been a problem before, it's probably related to slow authentication issue
