Re: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)

2014-07-29 Thread ronald higgins
Hey Geoff, reviving an older thread here but was wondering if you've
(shapeblue) have made any headway into the VM/Zone failover enhancement you
mentioned in this thread?

Sitting in the same boat currently having to look at a replicated SAN +
DR/Continuity solution and would love to be able to fly the CS flag as a
potential solution.

Re: How to auto start VMs after a crash?

2014-06-07 Thread ronald higgins
Perhaps I'm not fully awake yet and in need of some java, but is this not
achieved with the HA option inside the Service Offering?
Once the host and components return the VM's return to their last known
state?

 Hello,

 After a (simulated) server crash of a all-in-one 4.3 with local storage I
 noticed that no VMs are started back.
 Is there any option similar to Openstack's start_guests_on_host_boot
 that I am missing?

 The closest thing I found is this script:
 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/
 Auto-start+all+VMs+on+a+host+using+local+storage+after+reboot

 Is there anything in ACS itself that can provide this functionality?

 What bothers me most is how do I determine which VMs were running before
 the crash and which were not? Some customers may have stopped VMs to reduce
 cost or for some technical reason.

 Any thoughts?

Re: force delete compute host/node?

2014-03-26 Thread ronald higgins
Hi Marty. Deletion of the Host via the infrastructure panel results in the
error:

Host 1328586a-4c6e-46fb-a196-37ba36bbb3f7 cannot be deleted as it is not
in maintenance mode. Either put the host into maintenance or perform a
forced deletion.

The Management server still thinks the SSVM is running on it... which it
isn't, which I think is playing a part in this.

So if there is a way to forcibly remove the host any guidace would be
appreciated.

We experienced a storage failure a few days back and Cloudstack has since

Public IP Address attached to Instance: Where does it reside?

2013-10-17 Thread ronald higgins
Hi CS Users.

Simple question I think.

I've acquired a Public IP and created some port forwarding rules to an
instance. (KVM, Advanced Setup).

My question is where does this Public IP actually reside? I've checked the
Virtual Router for the network it's been assigned to but cannot see it
bound to an interface on the VR.

 Subject: VM instance cannot aquire IP via DHCP when run on other host with
 Virtual Router

 Hi Team,



 We setup cloudstack with Advance Network with two xenserver host with
 Isolated Guest Network.

 Vm's are creating with virtual router in host1 and able to acquire IP
 address.

 But the issue is when we migrate the VM  to  host2  the vm instance cannot
 aquire IP from virtual router which is located in host1.



 Exact Issue: when vm and virtual router separated between 2 hosts the DHCP
 request is not passing to from 1 host to another host.



 Note: -



 1.Both xenservers and cloudstack server are configured in the same
 vlan.

 2.Xenservers physical nic's is configured as trunk port in physical
 switch and allowed to pass  all  guest vlan traffics.

 3.Configured correct traffic label in cloudstack  physical network
 setup and  same has been synced with xenserver's .





 Kindly let us know what is the cause for not getting ipaddress when vm and
 router are separated.



 Your quick response is much appreciated. Thanks.



 Regards,

 Ramkumar
