Re: security group and xenserver query

Guest Network and if required to front this network with a Load Balancer and Firewall to provide additional services, but you need to manage these devices separately so is not a typical configuration for a Public Cloud, but could be used in a Private Cloud. Kind Regards Geoff Higginbottom CTO

RE: security group and xenserver query

If you want NAT and Load Balancing you need to do this on the Physical Device which terminates the VLANs etc (this will be outside of CloudStack) Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com -Original Message

RE: security group and xenserver query

I like to think of Advanced Network with SG as simply multiple Basic Networks, each on its own VLAN. You have the same features (or rather lack of) as you would with a Basic Zone, but you have multiple Guest Networks. Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M

RE: Assign multiple users to a single virtual machine

Re: Assign multiple users to a single virtual machine

Hi Tilak This is exactly the use case for the Projects feature. As long as the accounts your two users belong to are in the same domain you can create a project and add them both to it. Any VMS created belong to the project and you can add and remove users at will. Regards Geoff
