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

2014-10-04 Thread 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,

Thanks Sam,
I had similar issue, I have no problem deploying Windows 2008 servers, only
Server 2012 had trouble. ACS 4.4.1 is not officially release yet, so I was
hopping you had the steps to upgrade from ACS 4.4. I would really like to
upgrade as soon as possible because I am pressure into use this current
cluster to install essential machines for my company.

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

2014-10-04 Thread 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,

Sam,
first I have random success trying to create templates using Windows 2012
R2. I had use "OS Type" as Windows 2012 R2, Windows PV and even Other but
unable to create templates. I was able to setup a testing cluster of ACS
4.4.1 which seem to be running smoother than ACS 4.4, one only difference
is the NFS storage as the production cluster running iscsi.

do you mind pointing to steps you taken to upgrade ACS 4.4 ?

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

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...
