Stick to 4.11.2 - 4.12 should be released withing few days officially.

As for qemu-kvm-ev - yes, it's supposed to work - make sure to test new 
versions obviously.

Did you got your new installation running fine ?

Re: Secondary storage problem

[Sam Ceylani]

ok seeding seems to be ok since console vm reported as running (cant tell for 
sure, I am just guessing) I think it is best to logon to your hypervisor 
machine and check the status for your vm and take a look at your vm console, 
what is your hypervisor? what kind of setup you have?

Go to infrastructure tab and click on system vms, take a look at vm state and 
agent state for ssvm (secondary storage vm, s-57-VM etc.), send this

NFS is working properly. I can connect it directly to the system. For

the system does not see it.

What could be the reason?

RE: Upgrading from ACS 4.2 to 4.8 - VR upgrade issue

[Sam Ceylani]

So check your firewall on your management server, test that connection. I 
believe there are some new stuff introduced 
that changed how routers and system vms connect to MS. But you said SSVM 
connects fine right? What Hypervisor are you using?
Because I believe they changed system vm connections to ssh on xen for system 
vms etc. and there was even a port number that I know
I put in to my firewall which wasn’t there before...

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your reply.

My SSVM and CPVM seems to work fine -- although I can't verify if they are 
really using the new template or not, but my VR doesn't work even after I 
destroy the VR and restart the network with clean-up option. So the VR is never 
able to be started up after the upgrade. It kept on "Starting" state and 
agent.log file shows it keeps on trying to connect to the link local IP but 
never able to connect.

I tested the upgrade on a staging environment with just 1 VR, I have reverted 
back the setup to 4.2 and now re-doing the upgrade again for the second 
attempt, will see if it works. My production has around 10+ networks so I need 
to ensure this works before I initiate the upgrade on my production server.

Thank you.

RE: Upgrading from ACS 4.2 to 4.8 - VR upgrade issue

[Sam Ceylani]

Same thing happened to me, upgrading from 4.5.2 to 4.8 and I had to restart 
network with clean-up option checked for each network which rebuilds the router 
VM. If your SSVM works 
And if you can test it then I don’t see any problem rebuilding network(router 
vm) with new template which took about 30 minutes for about 20 networks in 
total...may not be an option
for large installations...how many routers you are running?

Dear all,

Could it be the VR is not able to use the new systemVM template because we 
registered the template as Routing = NO? Will it resolve the problem if during 
upgrade, we register the template as Routing = YES?

Based on the upgrade instruction at
http://cloudstack-release-notes.readthedocs.io/ja/stable/upgrade/upgrade-4.2.html
, it says that routing option should be "no", is this correct? Since the 
systemVM template will also be used by VR?

Any advice is appreciated.

Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

Cheers.

Hi,

They have coud-init on board, if you check 'passwd enabled' when registering 
the template, CloudStack will generate a passwd when it deploys a new VM. I 
believe the default is 'password' but not 100%sure.

Check how they are made here:
https://github.com/NuxRo/openvm/tree/master/kickstarts/vanilla/7

It's cool stuff :-)

RE: Register iso so slow.

[Sam Ceylani]

First you need to tell me if it is slow or not working at all? Both requires 
different troubleshooting...

Re: Register iso so slow.

[Sam Ceylani]

Borhan, did you try running your server at port 8080? there are some hard coded 
stuff for this port in the code and secstorage allowed sites etc. I asked this 
yesterday but couldnt get an answer from you :)

It only accepts it on port 8080 don’t ask me why, in theory yes port 80 is ok 
and yes you can but I never get it to work, try running your web server on port 
8080 and give it a try :)

Hi, Borhan

Is your SSVM up and agent status is "connected"?  Can you confirm that 
troubleshooting SSVM 
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/SSVM,+templates,+Secondary+storage+troubleshooting)
 gives OK status?

Hi Vadiam
The SSVM and CPVM is running and up.
The status of registering iso is null, and i figure out when i try get iso file 
on SSVM by wget command (wget http://192.168.76.5/isoname.iso) 
 say cannot write to 'isoname 
.iso' (No space left on device). i have problem

New Cloudstack Setup - SSVM Installing Template - MTU 9000 - Useful Information for you :)

[Sam Ceylani]

CS 4.5.2 - Shapeblue repo (http://packages.shapeblue.com/cloudstack/) - On a 
new Install CS-452 did not create the storage network with the proper MTU 
setting on Xenserver 6.5.0 SP1 (fully updated) network.
// MTU was set to 9000 for secondary storage nic (which was applied to NIC when 
we checked SSVM) before zone creation and after waiting few minutes for network 
to be created on Xenserver network
(VLAN-random-34) didn't have proper MTU setting for vlan34 network which fails 
out of the box because you can't edit anymore for some unknown reason and 
"really" hard to trace and resolve since error messages are also encrypted :)
and it works half the time which throws you off, typical symptoms are: SSVM 
agent not connecting, agent stuck in disconnecting state, SSVM ALERT (this was 
a good one), templates are stuck in "Installing Template" stage,
SSVM navigating to /mnt/SecStorage takes forever, SSVM check script takes about 
 10 minutes to finish, and half the time if you are lucky "it works" :) after 
troubleshooting full day and half I wanted to share this, I know it is not
the right list to send this email but I just wanted to have this out there in 
case if somebody is searching  to see why his SSVM stuck in "Installing 
Template" mode - Thanks for this great product guys...

P.S : Templates are much more reliable now, thanks for those improvements.

Sam

MTU 9000

[Sam Ceylani]

Long story short, if you are using MTU 9000 you better check every component 
including virtual networks in between, so it was my fault, I thought underlying 
card
and bond had already MTU 9000 applied so missed this little step to check 
virtual stuff, ping with MTU 9000 does not fail by the way, anyways it was my 
fault, I don't
even know if xen allows you to apply MTU 9000 to the network via API, Thanks, 
Sam

RE: Insufficient capacity to restart Virtualrouter

[Sam Ceylani]

Check vlan tag from database for this network, mine was missing once :) enter 
it and you should be all set.

Have you experienced power loss before this happened?

Shut down VM, increase it from Hypervisor (unless your hypervisor allows online

Assigning IP address directly to Xenserver for Secondary Storage

[Sam Ceylani]

When we define a separate storage network for secondary storage (for example on 
vlan34) on Xenserver 6.2, Cloudstack 4.4.1 creates this new network on 
Xenserver for SSVM to reach secondary storage with proper vlan and everything 
BUT since we can no longer issue any IP address with the same vlan (34) 
directly on Xenserver (for xenserver to mount secondary) just using our bonded 
interface, we have to create static routing from our router for xenserver to 
access this secondary storage through its management interface. Are you guys 
assigning IP directly to Xenserver after waiting for Cloudstack to create this 
new network on Xenserver (using Cloudstack's newly created network name) and 
using this network to issue IP address directly on Xenserver, I cant think of 
any other way, any idea? thanks Sam

RE: Urgent : Xenserver Bond status change

[Sam Ceylani]

Only explanation I can come up with (and I didn’t want to send this email 
because it could be wrong) 
is since it is using VM's Mac address when registering with your switch 
It might be normal in an active-active bond on public interface, since new VM 
will have a different MAC, or MAC changes on virtual switch
I might be wrong but I know it uses VM's mac address, like I said it is hard to 
pinpoint the issue but could be the case...
When I have time I will trace packets on an active-active bond to better 
understand what's going on...

Re: Urgent : Xenserver Bond status change

adding or removing a vm shouldn't affect management bond status unless when 
cloudstack makes an API call to xen toolstack for adding or removing vm somehow 
xenserver's management interface is bounced with that API call, I would check 
xenserver logs under /var/log and you can determine the reason, i doubt  it is

Re: Advanced Network Changing Public IP Range

[Sam Ceylani]

I understand, when we tried this on a test account we weren't able to release 
IP addresses without deleting user vms before, so what you are saying is we 
shouldn't need to delete any user vms in order to destroy router vm right? was 
it the case for you? because when we test to see if we could destroy router vm 
we weren't able to since we also needed to destroy the network and thus we 
needed to destroy all user vms, thats why some people suggested taking 
templates of user vms and destroying user vm destroying network and finally 
destroying router vm, I really need clear answer on this, step by step would 
you explain how you were able to change public IP s without impacting user vms?

Hi Sam,

Please find my inline comments below:

step is fair. But my concern was deployed vms and not being able to remove
user ips.
[PB] What do you mean by user IPs here? Are they acquired public IPs?, they
can be released from UI without any problem. But still SNAT IPs(public IP
of router VM) need to be deleted in-order to delete existing IP range.

So just changing the status of user ip to "removed" on mysql  table and
adding new range for this user would be enough?
[PB] I am sure on this. But it worked for me sometime back when I had
similar situation. Theoretically, It should work but you may encounter
mysql foreign constraint issues sometimes as SQL tweaking in one table may
impact other tables with ip address data field as a foreign key.

So if i shut down all user vms and network router, add new ip range for
this user, restart router and it should assign the new IP address? or if
ips are marked as removed will it give me an option to destroy network
router so newly created router will have new range?
[PB] Try to see if you can remove SNAT IP of router VM after stopping and
destroying it from UI. If this works, no need to update DB entries. New
range IPs will be taken by router VMs when a new VM is deployed in the
account OR an existing VM is stopped and started again.

Praveen

Hence, if you have any deployed VMs in your mentioned 4-5 isolated

sometimes it is not the case, for example there are tons of operating systems

fully and we developed a template and uploaded choosing windows 2008 server to 
4.3.2 and we were getting a weird capacity exception error message which took 
almost a day to resolve when we troubleshot deeper and deeper we got this 
message about cloudstack complaining that this os is not supported on any of 
hypervisors :) there are some weird issues going on with cloudstack's opinion 
about what your xenserver can and can not support and hard coded into the 
application... in that case resolution was choosing windows 2008 R2 from 
template list, ty

Our switch capacity is 1000Mbps and so does our NIC cards on Host

On n/w 192.168.1.0/24, we are using xenserver 6.2 to deploy our Virtual

we can able to achieve persistent 75 to 80 MB/s speed while transferring
(via scp) one 12GiB file from one VM to another VM on same Xenserver.

We are using 192.168.2.0/24 network for our cloudstack setup.
We have used following software with their version to establish out
private
cloud:


Cloudstack = v4.4.2
Management Server On = Centos 6.4 x86_64 bit
Xenserver as a hypervisor = v6.2 (similar configuration of machine as we
have used in 192.168.1.0/24 n/w)
FreeNAS as a Primary and Secondary Storage via NFS = v9.3 (filesystem is
ZFS  based)
Virtual Machine OS = Centos 6.5 x86_64 bit

We are using basic networking with its all default configurations but we
are not able to achieve at least 60 to 65 MB/s of transferring speed.

In cloud If we start scp from one machine to another machine then our
transferring speed starts from 63 MB/s and then its keep falling till 20
to
25 MB/s.

Would you please tell us that what we are missing here. Is ther any kind
of

than 50 MB/s transferring speed between two guest VM.

RE: Chargeback mechanism for cloudstack

[Sam Ceylani]

Chargeback is a technical term for putting money back to customers account in 
credit card industry, are you looking for a tool to bill your customer for

just for cloudstack but they stopped selling
It, and there is another product called hostbill if you would like to bill your 
customer out of the box, me and everbody else is waiting on WHMCS to release

I have tried all day to find out what is going on there. I have destroyed and 
recreated everything from scratch including the database and SystemVM seeding. 
I have reverted to a plain setup without OVS or VXLAN and just one layer 2 
network.

All machines can reach each other, mount the NFS storage etc, but I still get 
the same errors. Please see the full relevant log here 
http://pastebin.com/DGLTYrjQ

I really am at my wits end because that just stopped working from one day to 
the next and I have no idea why.

I hope someone can point me into the right direction.

RE: web servers with SSL behind a VR and load balancing for SSL

[Sam Ceylani]

Not an issue but instead of building a dedicated haproxy vm in front of VR for 
ssl termination I was wondering how you guys are handling load balancing for 
port 443 since GUI doesn’t
have tools to install signed web server SSL certificate on VR so if we load 
balance port 443
Then we would have to install certificate on each web server, ideally since VR 
is using 
HAproxy for load balancing, I was wondering if we can use it to terminate all 
SSL sessions
On VR and communicate backend web servers on port 80? There was a feature 
request for this and I have seen some screenshots about installing SSL 
Certificates from GUI etc. I can find the link for that screenshot if you need 
it.

[Sam Ceylani]

Does Cloudstack 4.4.1 supports SSL termination on VR? We will need to build 3 
web server environment load balanced behind a VR for a website and they are 
using SSL for ecommerce, if we build web server VMs behind a VR load balanced 
for 443, we probably will run into some

instead, resize it from xenserver and use gparted from OS (download iso and

RE: Resize DATA-Disk

[Sam Ceylani]

I don’t know the logic of resizing a volume behind cloudstack but I always 
resize it from command line on xenserver and it works, cloudstack might be 
creating a totally new drive which defeats the purpose (I am going by your 
description of the problem) of having a resize button there. I might be wrong 
and it might be doing what is expected and your situation (storage,hypervisor 
combo etc.) might not be allowing it, ty

Hello ,

I'm working on 4.4 cloudstack with multiple xenservers6.2 and FC as primary 
storage.
When i add a DATA volume and attach it to a VM,the volume is connected  and 
listed after a fdisk -l (/dev/xvdb) command but its not mounted (not listed on 
df -h command).
So i do so manually (mount the disk on the linux server) i cretae partion and 
mount it on the server and now this volume is listed on th df -h command.
But when i resize this volume ,he will go back to first state connected but not 
mounted on the VM and i loose the filesystem  the volume allays appears on 
fdisl -l command .

Thx

Re: Resize DATA-Disk

what do you mean by manually? what is your hypervisor? and you are loosing the 
volume, from where? cloudstack or storage?

Re: Install

There is a clean up process for a new install of cloudstack especially dropping 
cloud database and running database creation script for creating it again, it 
is typical for SSVM to show up for few seconds and shutdown (cycle) if your 
template is not in place properly, basically creating vm, booting, trying to 
image the hard drive of SSVM from template and finds nothing or has a problem 
downloading it from secondary storage and shuts down. You may have to send us 
management server log under /var/log/ to see at what stage it is failing,

Re: VR not able to ping public gateway for almost 3 hours then it WORKS...

[Sam Ceylani]

We thought about this possibility and truly checked every mac and every ip 
everything on those 3 switches and everything is clean, we even setup a syslog 
server and started logging everything from those 3 switches. Thats why we 
configured a physical box with same IP address (after shutting down VR) and 
checked mac address tables on those switches and we even had stp setup for 
redundancy we considered this possibility and removed redundancy and stopped 
stp removed reduntant cabling to see if it would help nothing so far pointing 
to network setup or switch ports or ip address, we even placed the xenserver on 
the very switch that internet was connected and still the same problem of 
waiting 1-3 hours before it starts pinging...

One thing we realized during those checks was one of our management router, we 
were using with DHCP (same management network but ip ranges for cs and from our 
router was different) and we realized this was a big mistake since cloudstack 
was using its own DHCP on the management network and we disabled that, it is 
not really related to our public network and it was being used to issue dhcp ip 
address to wireless clients (our ipads, laptops etc.) and we thought different 
ip ranges would be ok but it wasn't so we disabled itjust a side note.

I would like to also mention one other thing : When we first setup we 
immediately checked other system vms (this is our second or third setup due to 
this public ip problem) SSVM came up and started pinging right away, then we 
checked Console proxy and it hesitated for almost 10 minutes and started 
pinging but it was quick, we have this problem of 1-3 hours timeframe with only 
routers. In previous setups we also seen SSVM and Console proxy hesitating for 
sometime but came up quicker then routers.

This iptables -L being very slow to respond when it is not working is the very 
significant symptom we found so far, we just sit for few hours and issue 
iptables -L and if it responds very fast then we know we can ping the 
gateway...and sure enough we can

VR not able to ping public gateway for almost 3 hours then it works.


Cloudstack 4.4.1 (new install) and Xenserver 6.2, public and management 
networks are not tagged and using vlan1. For some reason when VR is created its 
not able communicate with its public gateway for almost 2-3 hours and all of a 
sudden it starts pinging. After it starts pinging then restarting VR etc. is 
not a problem and it starts working as soon as it comes up but problem happens 
again when router is destroyed and created again and we have this same problem 
of not being able ping gateway for sometime, it takes 30-45 minutes to starts 
working again sometimes 2-3 hours. We have 3 HP switches and first one is 
connected to internet gateway and through untagged ports  on those 2 other 
switches (through trunk port) xenserver hosts connected via (active-passive) 
bonds. Iscsi (primary storage, vlan 30,31,32,33) nfs (secondary storage vlan 
34), guest (500-550) public (vlan1) management (vlan1). We logon to virtual 
router and issue iptables -L and response is very slow (when it starts working 
response is very fast) we tried to traceroute gateway ip and response is very 
fast blank * * * displayed for all those 30 hops. ifconfig -a displays all the 
right information for network interfaces.We tried to remove and reinsert egress 
rule (ALL) back but that didn't help we would still have to wait for few hours 
for router to start pinging again. We tried to use this same IP on a physical 
machine connected to this same switch on an untagged port and it works as soon 
as we configure this same IP. We can ping this VR from outside and it responds 
OK so we know that network configuration is OK, We are thinking about firewall 
rules not downloading in a timely manner but we checked /var/log/cloud.log file

If requested, I can upload cloud.log file from VR, we compared this log file 
with a working one (VR) and no difference between them,

Template file and CS 4.4.1 downloaded around Oct 6,

I know it is hard to troubleshoot this kind of issue but if you can point me to 
possible causes that will be perfect so we can start from somewhere to 
troubleshoot this problem,

When we used tcpdump on the router we realized that before it starts working we 
have more stuff displayed (conversations about almost every network activity on 
the switch) and when it starts working almost %60 reduction in tcp 
conversations from all interfaces on the router...

Thanks,

Re: HA issue and Xen resets

[Sam Ceylani]

if yoy upscaled your router and didnt check the box for HA that may explain it, 
it needs to restart your router... if this is the only vm router may shut down 
and may not come up due to no running guest to service check that also...

ok, can you also migrate your to another xenhost? goto routers and migrate it? 
is your vm able to communicate?

Hi All,

I'm new to cloudstack and busy testing out ACS 4.3.1 on Centos 6.4 using 
Xenserver 6.2. I have the management server setup and have 2 xen servers that 
I'm testing out at the moment; specifically the HA functionality.

After getting an instance up and running I yanked the network cable out of the 
one xen server and awaited the HA awesomeness to kick in. Both hosts still 
remained in "Up" state even though the one was no longer pingable and the 
instance that was hosted on that xen host still showed "Running" even though I 
also couldn't ping it. After some reading one suggestion was setting 
'alert.wait' to 30 and restarting cloudstack-management. After that didn't seem 
to do anything after waiting a while I rebooted the management server all 
together and found that both hosts were marked as disconnected.

I've tried going in and out of maintenance mode and ended up deleting the one 
xen host that was still reachable thinking I could just re-add it but I 
received an error in doing so. I have read somewhere that once you've either 
reinstalled the management server or removed a xen host you need to re-install 
the xen host. Is this true? I was hoping for a factory reset command of some 
sort.

Besides my obvious HA problems and host disconnect issues which I'd love some 
pointers on are there any pointers on Xen server resets?

Note I have attempted a 4.4.0 install on centos and after a couple issues that 
I can no longer recall I ended up with a way easier install on 4.3.1 which is 
why I've stuck with it for now.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Willing to try anything!

Re: Problems Creating Templates in CloudStack 4.4

[Sam Ceylani]

i think your initial problem was nfs being slow and timeout but when i looked 
at your logs i can see that dom0 on xenserver still using this volume hence 
your attempts are failing, i experienced the same issue and if you open 
xencenter you will see the mapping from dom0. Technically you need to unplug 
this VDI which i wasnt able to achieve since dom0 is a very special VM i think 
someone with experience on xenserver can explain both of us with the right 
command sequence so we can create template for this volume...

Re: Problems Creating Templates in CloudStack 4.4

[Sam Ceylani]

there is a timeout setting in global configuration and you can increase the 
timeout value from there, make sure you restart your management service, i 
believe it is 10800 seconds, are you using nfs for secondary storage? which 
sometimes can be slow due to all sync writes

Re: ACS 4.4 XenServer 6.2 how to upgrade to ACS 4.4.1

[Sam Ceylani]

when you are creating vms using a w2012 template choose windows 2008 server 
type from drop down box and you should be ok, in change log i can see that they 
resolved this problem with 4.4 but upgrade is not easy for you because of 
manual changes required in mysql database, if you are familiar with executing 
queries it is very easy,

Re: ACS 4.4 XenServer 6.2 how to upgrade to ACS 4.4.1

[Sam Ceylani]

steps are different for each cloudstack version, for example upgrading from 4.3 
would be slightly different then 4.2 or 4.1 and also upgrading is different for 
each hypervisor type and also depends on your setup. I know you need step by 
step instructions but they are all different. best is googling "upgrading 
cloudstack from 4.3 to 4.4" and in docs those steps are very well documented, I 
used the same steps and if you cant find the link for docs I can email it to 
you. 

I was getting "W2012 is not supported on xenserver" error (I was getting "not 
enough capacity" cryptic error message from cloudstack and after digging a day 
or so I found the real reason for failing vm was xenserver, according to 
cloudstack is not capable of running W2012, which is not the case) and after 
choosing w2008 for template and not choosing W2008R2, I was able to install 
W2012 so try this solution first before upgrading and it should resolve it,

Re: ACS 4.4 XenServer 6.2 how to upgrade to ACS 4.4.1

[Sam Ceylani]

I recently upgraded to 4.4.1 and overall upgrade is easy but I dont think you 
can upgrade it with such a simple command since it involves intalling 
(preseeding) sys template and manually changing settings from mysql tables to 
reflect this change. If your distro is repo based, you manually need to change 
setting from 4.3 to 4.4 in your cloudstack repo file  and also 4.4 upgrades 
your java to 1.7 and I think they fixed few major bugs recently and sys 
template is upgraded to 64 bit if I m not mistaken (with debian 7 I believe). 
Most problems are resolved with 4.4.1 update and on our system with xenserver 
working fine. If you are using it in production env. then I would wait couple 
of months to upgrade to 4.4.1 and this version is more sophisticated then 
previous versions. It seems to be more complete,predictable and more robust and 
I really appriciate for those new features and bug fixes. I would suggest 
reading documentation for 4.4 upgrade depending on your version so there are 
some few things you have to complete "before" upgrading to 4.4.1...

Re: Using cloudstack-set-guest-password with a desktop environment

[Sam Ceylani]

I replied to your email about script ending with .sh and I fixed the problem 
with removing .sh extension from script and placing it under /etc/init.d 
folder, I used "chkconfig cloud-password-script on" ( I dont remember the 
script name) and service installed fine, I had to adjust firewall port also to 
make sure it communicates with VR and made sure script runs before most of the 
other services,

Hope this helps,

Re: Initial Infrastructure Deployment

[Sam Ceylani]

Freenas is FreeBSD based software appliance (iso distrubution) and will not be 
on Centos. You mentioned Xenserver 6.2 and KVM which one? Both are hypervisor 
software, you cant use both ( technically yes, recommended no) you also have 
100 Mbps nics which will cause some performance issues. Freenas is using ZFS 
file system which needs to be tweaked heavily for NFS to work with, (legacy 
file system UFS is also available but they will drop supporting it in near 
future) you mentioned XCP I assume It is Citrix Cloud Platform and it is not a 
hypervisor, CS management server needs 4 GB memory 500 gig hd and thats all you 
need, no need for performance or ssd hds on that machine, I dont understand the 
need for iscsi hds for CS mgmt server, nothing happens on that server. Primary 
freenas will need more than 2 nics given that you have 10 tb space assuming you 
will need more than 160MBps bandwith ( 80MBps each with MPIO with ISCSI and not 
using NFS which is not capable of MPIO, but bonding is available for NFS)

There are a lot of things wrong with your setup here, you cant deploy Freenas 
with ZFS using NFS unless you turn off syncing for that NFS dataset otherwise 
it works but you get 10MBps write speed which is ridiculuous really and if you 
turn off syncing you better have some good UPS connected to it otherwise you 
may end up with corrupted file system ( Not ZFS itself but NFS dataset may get 
corrupt)

You said high on IO for primary server but if you dont have the bandwith? with 
2 Nics what good is it? even one of your hd may fill that bandwith really 
quickly...

Big or small you cant deploy this...

beween management and storage network requirement on citrix discussion forums 
and it seems to be, (a citrix employee said) in the past this was a requirement 
but recent versions of cloudstack (he didnt mention version levels) it is no 
longer required and from cs coding point of view it is fixed and no longer 
required.

Yes we will dedicate a bond from xenserver to secondary storage device so 
hypervisor will be able mount secondary storage.

In our previous attempts we have seen cloudstack creating vlan network 
automatically on hypervisor for its ssvm to use and access to secondary 
storage. Now we need hypervisor to also be able to access to this secondary 
storage. So I believe we should assign an ip address on xenserver using this 
bonded storage interface with the same vlan tag. So we create a bond, create a 
vlan network out of this bond, and assign ip on Xenserver using our new vlan 
interface and that should take care of hypervisor connectivity and also SSVM 
will use cloudstack's automatically created vlan tagged network out of this 
same bind and cloudstack assigns an ip from storage pool ip to this SSVM 
virtual interface, is that correct?

Thanks again,

sam

Re: Does management server have to be able mount NSF Share on a storage network?

Hi Kirk,

Thank you for your answer.We are using Citrix Xenserver 6.2 and for storage 
server Freenas 9 with ZFS. I have been reading past emails on the list about 
setting up storage network and they are talking about creating a static route 
on their switches between management and storage networks and this seems to be 
a requirement. So I guess this is for management server to access to secondary 
storage, I personally tested twice (without this static route on the switch, I 
didn't know this info back then) and CS 4.3 (I am using CS 4.4 now) was not 
able to start SSVM or Console Proxy servers and I decided to just use 
management network to access secondary storage and it works out of the box. So 
question is beside this requirement of initial install of system VM from 
management server via systemvm download script (I mounted secondary on 
management server and run this script, some people suggests using it from the 
nfs nas server with -t template option to not to mount nfs on on management 
server), do we have to use a static route on our switches between management 
and storage network for secondary shares? this information is not in 
documentation and documentation has very conflicting information about pinging 
networks and some requirement of pings needs to fail etc. If you can explain 
this I would really appreciate it...Thanks again, Sam

Hi, Sam.  Besides during (default) installation, the management server
only needs to access the secondary storage NFS share if you are using
vSphere since the management server propagates the systemvm.iso for
VMware hosts.  If you're using vSphere, just make sure the management
server can reach the NFS server and mount the share.  It doesn't need to
be on the same network as the NFS server.  Template uploading and
downloading is handled by the SSVM and not the management server.

Storage Network Setup does MGMT Server have to be able mount this NFS share?

[Sam Ceylani]

When setting up a separate storage network in apache cloudstack 4 , does mgmt 
server has to be able to mount the secondary nfs storage? Another words I can 
understand template upload from a website, mgmt server makes the request to 
ssvm and ssvm downloads it directly from a web server locally or on the 
internet for templates or isos but how is downloading templates to your pc 
works from mgmt website if we are not mounting nfs on the mgmt server? 
Unfortunately very few resources available in detail about setting up storage 
network in Cloudstack 4, ty sam
