Re: Problems with Secondary Storage on Cloudstack 4.2

Daan, At this point I think I'll go with installing Cloudstack from scratch one more time. I just want to ask one question, although it is mentioned in the Cloudstack installation guide that the management server must have atleast 256GB space, is it really required? Because the system on whic

It's probably related to the aggressive caching, as when I clear all browsing history/cache/cookies it will temporarily work properly for a little while. Maybe it's related to our specific installation, since other people are not reporting the same problems. Thanks for the feedback. On 11/1

Re: Traditional Windows workloads and Cloudstack

The additional 5-10 users shouldn't be such an extreme load. How many Mbps were you using with the 5-10 users? I am trying to clarify if the SAN or the storage network is the bottleneck. In either case,as previous stated it does all go back to capacity/workload planning. I know this is getting

Re: Traditional Windows workloads and Cloudstack

Yeah with 5-10 users only :) Also I think we don't have any write-cache (called ZILs in the ZFS lingo, I think) on the storage server too, so SQL would be even more problematic there.. On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 5:53 PM, Conrad Geiger wrote: > Are you really saturating you GigE link with only 5-10

Junaid, what did you set the the network rate to in the exchange service offering? Depending on your backend network setup for that offering you may get better results with setting it to a '0' for unlimited. On my internal CCP, our SQL servers service offering has network rate to '0' as I am using

Sughand, By the looks of that output the secondary storage machine doesn't export the location of the secondary storage. Another possibility is that no firewall is blocking nfs. go to the secondary storage machine and try to ping your ssvm. regards On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 11:38 AM, Sugandh wrot
