Hi Jake, The new feature request process is documented here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Adding+new+features+and+design+documents If you feel like championing the feature, the first step would be to email the dev list to get feedback from the other developers. Let us k

Re: Configuring static routes on VM

2013-02-05 Thread Chris Sears
Hi Jeff, CloudStack currently does all in-guest network configuration via DHCP and, as far as I can tell, no DHCP options are being set that would push static routes. If you have a VM with multiple NICs, the DHCP server will hand out IPs to each of them, while trying not to confuse the guest abou

Hi Fabrice, I'm not aware of any such feature, but there have been other situations where people have needed ways to customize the virtual hardware or VMX file gat CloudStack creates, so it might be an improvement worth exploring. In your case, I'm curious why you would need/prefer LSI Logic SAS

Re: Cloudstack API calls

Asmita, You might want to look at the following Python sample for how to generate the signature: https://github.com/kdamage/IndividualCode/blob/master/CloudStack%20API%20Signing%20Class/SignedAPICall.py I noticed in your openssl command, you only used the "keypair=..." part of the query string. I

Re: Issue about using a invalid MAC Address in vSphere

2013-01-15 Thread Chris Sears
Greetings, Based on a quick review of the code, there is no way to force CloudStack to assign MAC addresses in the range which VMware considers valid/expected. If you wanted to suppress the warning for specific VMs, you could try adding a line to the VMX files: ethernet0.checkMACAddress = "false
