Re: Stopped Instances Can’t Start Back Up

2023-07-29 Thread Vivek Kumar 
Hello Carlo, 

When you create VM from Cloudstack, it create disks, network and everything and 
it uses the DB to store all those details, So whenever you start the VM it use 
all the DB entries and try to power on..! So if you want to see the actual disk 
name, and other details which is mapped to your hypervisor, 

Login to DB -

1- Check the vm_instance table for VM details.
2- Check the volumes tables for disk related info. (In the volume table - check 
the path and chain_info - You will see the exact details there)


So, it’s cloudstack behaviour that it maps the disk name i.e by UUID.vmdk or 
root_disk.vmdk. You can find the details in volume table.

Gents,

Re-attaching the install ISO solves the issue.

Is this expected behaviour?

Re: Stopped Instances Can’t Start Back Up

2023-07-28 Thread Carlo Fernandez 
Hello,

I’ve figured out that the disk for the VM that won’t start is named ROOT-37 on 
CloudStack, but it is definitely not named that in vCenter.

I spun up a VM using the built-in CentOS template, and the root disk was indeed 
named ROOT-36 on both CloudStack and vCenter. I can stop and start that 
instance without any issues.

Furthermore, I notice that when I shut down the VM that won’t start, its 
network adapter and disk are removed. I also notice that there is an ISO 
attached to the VM on vCenter, but the attached ISO is NOT the install ISO for 
the OS.

If I remove this ISO, and manually re-attach the disk and NIC, the VM will boot 
back into the OS without issues, and CloudStack will see this and update the 
VM’s status accordingly. The VNC console continues to work after manually 
reconfiguring and restarting the VM.

My guess is that the VM can’t start after being shut down via the CS GUI 
because when it wants to find the disk again, it can’t find it as it is not 
named as CS would have expected it to be. This is the conclusion I’ve come to 
after testing.

Does anybody have any other guesses/advice? I’ve no idea why vCenter is not 
naming the disk properly, or if it should even matter. Either way, CloudStack 
is kind of unusable in this state.

As I am completely green to CS and the documentation/forums have not provided 
any clues, I’ve got no idea where to start looking to resolve this issue. Any 
help or advice would be highly appreciated!

Regards,

Carlo Fernandez.

Hi Vivek,

The VM did have an ISO attached for the initial install as the goal is to 
create a template, but I removed it once the install was complete.

I only shut the VM down after the OS had been fully installed.

I confirmed that the ISO was not attached both in the CS GUI and vCenter.

I could try re-attaching the ISO?

Hi Vivek,

The VM did have an ISO attached for the initial install as the goal is to 
create a template, but I removed it once the install was complete.

I only shut the VM down after the OS had been fully installed.

I confirmed that the ISO was not attached both in the CS GUI and vCenter.

I could try re-attaching the ISO?

Regards,

Carlo.

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for your prompt response!

The error the GUI shows is “VM-799f45df-2e11-41ca-b866-445c3e7101ce) Unable to 
start a VM [799f45df-2e11-41ca-b866-445c3e7101ce] due to [Unable to create a

{"id":35,"instanceName":"i-2-35-VM","type":"User","uuid":"799f45df-2e11-41ca-b866-445c3e7101ce"}].”

This is exactly what is shown in the logs. vCenter also shows a log saying “ 
Invalid configuration for device '1'.” Which also shows up in the logs.

I am running CloudStack 4.18.0.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy btw.

I have also attached a document with the snippet of logs that show the error.

Thanks again for your advice and help!

Thanks,

Carlo Fernandez.

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for your prompt response!

The error the GUI shows is “VM-799f45df-2e11-41ca-b866-445c3e7101ce) Unable to 
start a VM [799f45df-2e11-41ca-b866-445c3e7101ce] due to [Unable to create a

This is exactly what is shown in the logs. vCenter also shows a log saying “ 
Invalid configuration for device '1'.” Which also shows up in the logs.

Stopped Instances Can’t Start Back Up

2023-07-27 Thread Carlo Fernandez 
Hi Guys,

I've deployed CloudStack on a vSphere cluster (2 hosts running 7.0.3, vCenter 
7.0.3).

I can deploy instances without issues. However, I've thus far been unable to 
start any instance I stop back up.

On vCenter, I can see that once I try to start the instance back up, its root 
hard disk disappears. I can re-attach it manually but trying to start it back 
up from the CS GUI just makes it disappear again.

I have configured both local and remote storage (NFS, TrueNAS) for primary 
storage, and I have remote storage for secondary storage. Both have plenty of 
room for the VM.

Please let me know what kind of logs you will need to provide assistance; I'm 
new to CS so I'm not sure exactly where to go looking.


I appreciate your help!


Thanks,
Carlo Fernandez
