Hi Len,
I am not aware of a solutions for ssl traffic for this.
A workaround would be to delete loadbalancing for ssl on the VR and create a
nginx instance running ssl lb.

Thanks Swen,
OK, then I suppose my next question would be, could I then terminate the SSL on
the virtual router, and then follow your suggestion?
Thanks

Hi Len,
you need to change the LogFormat on the target servers behind the LB.
If you are using apache2 do the this:
1. open your apache2 conf file
2. add "LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O" common_lb" to
the LogFormat section 3. open your vhost file and swap "common" to "common_lb"
in your CustomLog line.
4. Restart apache2
Now you can see the client IP in the log.
This will only work with http and not with https traffic because LB cannot open
https traffic.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards,
Swen

RE: CloudStack Volume Life Cycle
Hi Suneel, I've had this where I restarted the management servers while the volumes or vms were expunging. Bear in mind that the volumes might still actually be expunging and can take a bit of time to finally disappear. If you're absolutely sure that the volumes are stuck in that state, you can edit the database to force CS into thinking the volumes have been deleted. First back up the cloud database: mysqldump -u root -p cloud /tmp/cloud_dbdump.sql Log into mysql: mysql -u root -p use the Cloud database: use cloud; Verify which volumes are in the incorrect state: select id, name, instance_id, uuid, folder from volumes where removed is null and state='Expunged'\G update volumes set removed=now() where id=id of volume ; This will remove the volume from the UI, the sytem will believe that the volume has been removed, but you must still manually remove the volume from the NFS share if need be. -Original Message- From: Venkata Suneel Babu Mallela [mailto:sunee...@simplifydc.com] Sent: 17 June 2014 10:01 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: CloudStack Volume Life Cycle Hi All, I tried to delete a volume from CloudStack UI, but it is struck at Expunging state.

Note, I am talking about true DR to another data center, not HA. I have seen the previous thread where someone asked about DR, but the answer provided only talked about HA of VMs within the same Cluster or Zone. This is not my question. I am looking for a method to maintain an up-to-date copy of a running VM, including its data, in another Zone or Region, such that if the first Zone is destroyed, the VM can be brought up in the other Zone and continue production. Before cloud, DR for virtualized environments was typically handled using SAN replication. The VMs would be quiesced and snapshotted at regular intervals (e.g. hourly), and the SAN LUNs would be continuously replicated asynchronously. Following this approach, if the primary site was destroyed, the SAN LUNs would be enabled for read-write at the secondary location, and the VMs could then be started there, using the last successful snapshot (the last consistency point). I have looked at what Amazon and Rackspace provide for their Clouds, and the approach seems to be user-initiated quiesced cloud snapshots, combined with Secondary Storage that is automatically replicated and available throughout their Clouds. Therefore, if the site where the VM is running gets destroyed, the latest VM snapshot can be deployed from Secondary Storage to any other Zone. I would like to know if anybody has experience/insights using this approach on CloudStack, particularly using XenServer hosts. Is there a mechanism available for end-users to create quiesced CloudStack snapshots of running production VMs, such that applications and filesystems are put into a consistent state prior to the snapshot being created? Also, can anybody offer insight into how to automatically or continuously replicate Secondary Storage across Zones or Regions, using NFS-based Secondary Storage (not object storage), such that CloudStack users will see any be able to deploy their Snapshots in any other Zone or Region? If what I am describing is not yet possible with CloudStack, I would be like to be pointed towards the part of the CloudStack roadmap that discusses the planned architecture.

RE: vmware cluster dedicated storage network
Hi Ilya, So, it looks like the SSVM is establishing a HTTPS connection to the management IP of my ESX server.

To understand where the problems is, SSH into SSVM, and view the output of /var/log/cloud/some-filename.log Also, try running this command on SSVM to see if issues are firewall or routing related watch 'netstat -antup' - look for time_wait and other non-established attempts to your vcenter I would suspect a firewall related issue.

RE: vmware cluster dedicated storage network
Sure. vSwitch0 (used for management) portgroup called cloud-management with the mgmt ip address of the esx host vSwitch2 (used for Storage) portgroup called cloud-storage with the ip address of the storage nic used to access nfs storage dvSwitch0 (used for public and guest traffic) as near as I can tell management and public/guest work ok. I'm having trouble with my first vm - I get a message in my vmware client that says Deploying OVF Template when I first try to spin the vm. This eventually times out. Cloudstack has downloaded the vmware Centos template automatically and this is what I am trying to use Oddly, I am able to build a vm from an ISO. Any ideas?

RE: CS 4.2 VM snapshot is not enabled for hypervisor type: KVM
I stumbled upon this feature yesterday on my XenServer cluster - I too thought that it would only work on VMWare. I'm using XenServer 6.1 and can verify that the vm snapshot works. I'm not running the Enterprise edition, so memory snapshots fail with a licensing error. With this feature enabled, what I would love to see is the old style snapshots renamed to backups because they aren't really snapshots in the modern vmware/XenServer sense. You can't really roll back to them, and a snapshot indicates quick point in time image of the vm, something that the old style snapshots do not do. Well done for getting true snapshots sorted out. This is a feature my users are very happy about.

copying template to new zone
Hi Guys, I'm running Cloudstack 4.2 on XenServer 6.1. I have recently created a new zone. I'm having an issue with the system vms being created and I wanted some clarification on how exactly the system vm template gets sent across to my new zone. It looks like CS is realising that the template is already in my first zone, so rather than downloading it again, it is trying to copy it across to the new zone. The problem I have with that is that I am using a specific storage network that is not directly mountable from my Management Servers. When I initially set up my first zone, I had to temporarily give my management server a second NIC on my storage network in order for the system vm to be downloaded and then moved to my secondary storage. However, in my new zone, the networking is set up in such a way that although I can temporarily connect my management server to the storage network in the new zone, I am unable to connect it to the storage network in my original zone. So, am I right in thinking that the management server in my new zone is trying to mount secondary storage in my original zone to copy the system vm template across? If so, is there a way around this? Can I get it to download direct from the internet again? Thanks Len IMPORTANT NOTICE. This electronic message contains information from Control Circle Ltd, which may be privileged or confidential.

Bug and Solution when upgrading to 4.2
Hi All, I recently upgraded Cloudplatform 3.07 to Cloudplatform 4.2 - yes I know this is the opensource mailing list, but it probably applies to Cloudstack as well - and I ran into this bug which caused my upgrade to fail: After upgrading, when I tried to restart the system vms, they would not start and I got loads of SQL errors in my management server logs such as: used by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '((total_capacity * cluster.value ) - used_capacity + reserved_capacity) = 500 A' at line 1 After a while (with help from Citrix) we found this solution: There is a bug in 4.2 release where CloudPlatform fails to start the system VM's when the global configuration parameter apply.allocation.algorithm.to.pods is set to true. To resolve the issue set the global configuration parameter apply.allocation.algorithm.to.pods to false and then restart the management servers.

RE: storage overprovisioning
Hi Geoff, That's a really great explanation. Thanks. One option then is to still use thin provisioning on the storage array, but not put in any kind of overprovisioning factor in Cloudstack. We could then give ourselves a fairly large volume on the array, and defer the monitoring of real used space to storage monitoring tools. This would take away the confusion around how storage is displayed in the Cloudstack UI, as it would be displaying actual space available, and it would take away any guess work around by which factor I should be overprovisioning in Cloudstack. I would still see the benefits of thin provisioning to my array as a whole, but what is actually available to my Cloudstack users would be a lot more clearly defined. I would not have CS administrators looking at the display in the UI and thinking, well it says I've got 200GB available, but how much have I really got Len -Original Message- From: Geoff Higginbottom [mailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com] Sent: 24 July 2013 09:23 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: RE: storage overprovisioning Hi Len, Some Background: There are two Storage 'measures', the actual storage 'used', and the storage 'allocated'. As an example let's assume you are using NFS, have 100GB of Primary Storage, and have set storage.overprovisioning.factor to 4 Because of the Over Provisioning Factor, your system will report that you have 0GB / 400GB of Primary Storage 'Allocated' and 0GB /100GB 'used' If you now deploy 5 VMs, based on a Template with a 10GB ROOT disk, your 'allocated' storage would now be reporting as 50GB / 400GB of Primary Storage Allocated or 12.5% However, due to the wonders of Thin Provisioning, the ROOT disks for each of the VMs are only currently using 2GB of actual storage, so your 'used' Storage will be reported as 10GB / 100GB or 10 % Now as the VMs get used, data gets added, updates installed etc, the thin provisioned disks will grow, and may now be consuming 6GB of disk space each, and so the 'used' Storage will now be reported as 30GB / 100GB or 35% but the 'allocated' will still be 12.5% As a Service Provider, the 'Allocated' setting is what you bill your clients for, as they have effectively reserved this amount of space, but you need to monitor the 'allocated' to make sure it does get too close to your limits. But from an IT management perspective it's the 'used' Storage amount, which is the real data on disk value which may be more important as this will tell you when you disks are about to fill up. The two Global Settings you originally asked about pool.storage.allocated.capacity.disablethreshold pool.storage.capacity.disablethreshold They simply prevent any more Volumes from being allocated to the Primary Storage when the disable threshold is exceeded, and is measured as a percentage, with 85% expressed as 0.85 They allow you to decide which counter will disable the allocation of new Volumes, 'Allocated' or 'Used' Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com -Original Message- From: Len Bellemore [mailto:len.bellem...@controlcircle.com] Sent: 23 July 2013 18:06 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: storage overprovisioning Hi Guys, Was wondering if someone could explain to me the difference between the following Global Settings: pool.storage.allocated.capacity.disablethreshold pool.storage.capacity.disablethreshold Many thanks!

RE: Multiple Storage Interfaces
Hi Geoff, Thanks for this. So does that mean I could only have multiple Primary Storage networks and not multiple Secondary Storage networks? The Physical Network 'storage' maps to a Xenserver network of the same name - My thinking is that if I create a second secondary storage volume on a different vlan, I would have to then add in a Cloudstack Management CIDR on the new network, and then in XenServer, ensure that both of the storage networks have the same name. So, on Xenserver I have: Cloud-storage network on Bond0+1 with IP address 192.168.10.1 Cloud-storage network on Bond2+3 with IP address 172.27.100.1 In Cloudstack I would have a single Physical Network called Cloud-storage With the IP Range: 192.168.10.10-192.168.10.20 172.27.100.10-172.27.100.20 And then based on the IP ranges above, my SSVM would be able to talk to both secondary storage devices in both networks. I also thought that you could not vlan tag a storage network in XenServer, but the Administration Guide for XenServer 6.1 seems to say otherwise: 4.3.3.3. Using VLANs with Dedicated Storage NICs Dedicated storage NICs (also known as IP-enabled NICs or simply management interfaces) can be configured to use native VLAN / access mode ports as described above for management interfaces, or with trunk ports and XenServer VLANs as described above for virtual machines. To configure dedicated storage NICs, see Section 4.4.7, Configuring a Dedicated Storage NIC http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/32307-102-691300/reference.pdf I'll give it a go anyway, and see what happens. Len -Original Message- From: Geoff Higginbottom [mailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com] Sent: 02 July 2013 14:57 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: RE: Multiple Storage Interfaces Hi Len, What you are trying to do is perfectly possible, however confusingly it has nothing to do with the CloudStack Physical Network 'storage'. The CloudStack Storage Network is only used when accessing Secondary Storage, and is something which causes lots of confusion. (re-writing the official docs in relation to this is on my very long list of things to do) All you need to do is create two networks mapped to two different Bonds on your XenServer (assuming you want to use Bonding) then add a two new IPs, mapped to these networks. As XenServer cannot VLAN TAG the traffic for Storage or Management Networks, you will need to set the Switch Ports to Access Ports and let your switch add the appropriate VLAN Tags. This also highlights the need for dedicated NICs, one for each Storage Network, which is advisable in order to get optimum performance. If you are using Jumbo Frames, remember to set the MTU on the Bond, before mapping an IP to the Network. As longs as these CIDRs are unique, and do not overlap your CloudStack Management CIDR, when you add Primary Storage via CloudStack, your XenServers will simply use the appropriate Bond when they communicate with the Storage. Traffic routing is handled automatically by the XenServers based on the destination IPs.

load balancing in a VPC
Hi Guys, I'm having trouble getting Load Balancing working on a VPC.

Password Reset Utility on Windows
Hi Guys, Anyone used the password reset utility on a Windows server? It works great if I don't sysprep my servers. The problem is Windows forces you to reset the Administrator password after sysprep runs and I think this clashes with the password reset script. I reset my password at the prompt after my instance boots up, and then the next time the server reboots, the password reset utility kicks in and resets the password back to the one that is displayed after my instance is created. Anyone seen this? Thanks Len
RE: unable to add nfs primary storage with xenserver hosts
That's exactly right, Geoff. We've got ESX servers set up this way and it cause us a lot of headache. On the Netapp the vms are using almost no space because they are thin provisioned, but in Cloudstack, my volumes are showing as practically full. This means that we have to massively overprovision storage just so Cloudstack can tell itself that there's adequate space on the storage array.

How do I get the instances to activate against my KMS? Are people informing customers that they need to configure outbound internet access on their virtual routers so that they can activate against Microsoft's servers? How can I get them to authenticate on my KMS server that is on my network? Thanks Len
RE: Windows Product Activation and KMS Server
That's kind of what I was thinking, but what about the fact that the virtual router blocks outbound internet by default?

The lock down would be done on your firewall. The script could be a batch file or a vbs script and the command would look like this: c:\windows\slmgr.vbs -skms public-ip-address-of-kms-server HTH Oliver Leach Platform Architect InstaCompute Mobile +44 (0) 7787 690 607 -Original Message- From: Len Bellemore [mailto:len.bellem...@controlcircle.com] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2013 11:44 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Windows Product Activation and KMS Server Hi Guys, Anyone have a solution for activating Windows instances using a KMS server?
