Thank you very much for helping out with cloudstack installation. I really
appreciate your willingness to assist.

It was my first time and I couldn't have asked for more than the help I got.

RE: New Initial Setup Questions (THANK YOU in advance)

2014-03-31 Thread Talk Jesus
 The way HA works is ACS will monitor your VMs and HV, if one HV goes 
down it will attempt to restart the VMs running on that HV on another 
HV, but for this to happen the new HV needs to be able to access the 
storage those VMs were using and this can only happen if you use shared 
storage. Do I make sense?

Hmm. Not 100% sure I understand, but getting closer :)

So, shared storage would be a separate storage server, plus at least 1 
extra for a failover? And, if I understand correctly, this HA option is all 
configured and enabled within the CloudStack management console itself? 

Sorry if I'm not picking up quickly, but I'm getting it a bit more clear 
understanding with a few questions for clarification sake.

Basically, say I'd like to start a small initial setup to offer cloud VM's (or 
popular term vps / virtual private server in the cloud). I'll have one server 
strictly for the CS management console, I'll have one HV + 1 extra for failover 
for CPU/Memory, and then I'll have a storage server + another for failover. 
Would this make sense?

 Ideally you should have separate and redundant (bonded) links for

 Please explain. I'm thinking, a dedicated Cisco switch for the cloud, 
 plus another for failover. What do you mean by redundant/bonded links 
 for management?

I think in Cisco-speak that would mean port channel.
Cloudstack has at least 3 types of networks: management, secondary storage, 
internet uplink. Also take into consideration links to primary network storage 
if you want it.
The network bits are explained in the documentation. In addition to the 
official docs read the following which I have found helpful:
http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack/understanding-cloudstacks-physical-networking-architecture/
http://shankerbalan.net/blog/cloudstack-simple-advanced-network-example/

 
 HA is not possible with local  storage
 
 So local storage = drives for vm storage on same HV (cpu/memory
 box. I'm curious why HA is not possible on a HV using
 CPU/Memory/Storage? I've never heard that before for HA.

It looks like we have a language barrier of some sort. :)

Thank you.

One last question (most likely)...

What difference would it between having a separate storage server as SANS or 
NAS (especially utilizing something like FreeNAS) for live vm storage + 
failover? At least in the instance of using CS for a cloud platform.

Thank you.

Yes, this makes sense. The failover SAN/storage is optional.

New Initial Setup Questions (THANK YOU in advance)

2014-03-28 Thread Talk Jesus
One more shot.how's the below for a decent, initial CS setup?

Server #1
Purpose: CloudStack Control Panel Install (Management Server)
Qty: 1
VM Machine (one production, one backup/HA)
Cores: about 2-4 
4GB RAM

Server #2
Purpose: HV (CPU + Memory + Storage)
Qty: 1 plus 1 for failover (HA)
Dual Hexacore CPUs
128GB RAM
12 x 2TB SAS (or 6x1TB SSD) RAID10

Server #3
Purpose: Backup (NAS)
Qty: 1
Dual Quad Core CPUs
16GB RAM
12 x 2TB SATA RAID10


Question: for server #2 (HV), the CPU example is 24 Cores total. So,
technically speaking I can offer a max of 6 VM's with 4 CPU cores allowanced
to each one, correct? Does CS allow overselling by any means on
CPU/Memory?

Am I missing anything from above initial hardware setup?

Anyone have any high availability (HA) setup recommendations for all 3
servers? I mean does CS have an HA config option within its own management
console or is HA something done manually outside the CS software, but within
the o/s on the nodes?

It's good; do note you can use both at the same time if you want, just 
put a load balancer in front of them.




Server #2
Purpose: HV (CPU + Memory + Storage)
Qty: 1 plus 1 for failover (HA)
Dual Hexacore CPUs
128GB RAM
12 x 2TB SAS (or 6x1TB SSD) RAID10


Played with both SAS and SSD recently, SSD is just so much snappier go 
for it if you can afford it.




Server #3
Purpose: Backup (NAS)
Qty: 1
Dual Quad Core CPUs
16GB RAM
12 x 2TB SATA RAID10

You can oversell CPU massively, everyone does, disk and memory are 
usually the bottlenecks.
Overselling memory is trickier, if you want to sell VPS/public cloud 
I'd advise against it, memory is reasonably cheap.





Am I missing anything from above initial hardware setup?


The network is a very important bit of the setup. Make sure you have 
quality equipment and redundancy, there's a saying: your cloud is as 
good as your network.
Ideally you should have separate and redundant (bonded) links for 
management, secondary storage and Internet uplink (public).

Cloudstack can and will perform HA if so instructed, it's built-in, 
you don't need to configure anything special in the HV.

HA requires:
- service offerings with HA enabled
- shared storage for the above offerings, HA is not possible with local 
storage


Good luck!

Let me take the opportunity to thank each one you in the Apache CloudStack
community for your valuable contributions. It has been a pleasure working
with you all and unfortunately I have quit my $dayjob for pursuing my
higher studies in the US which means that I might not get sufficient time
to contribute to Apache CloudStack.

I have been involved in developing the UI component of CloudStack and being
a committer , I feel it's my responsibility to help the community out with
whatsoever queries one might have. You might get to see delayed responses
from my side in case your queries are addressed directly to the UI
component of CloudStack.I might not get time to code a feature but I can
surely try to help someone with the UI code in case someone's interesting
in developing some UI module. Otherwise, if not myself , I'll try to make
sure that there's someone who is able to cater to your queries.
