VM Import

Hi Guys, I have a VM which is on a standalone XenServer hypervisor. I want to bring this VM into cloudstack. I have tried exporting the VM to a .ova file, converting that to a VHD file and importing. It imported fine as a template, but upon trying to deploy that VM, I get a 'failed to deploy'

xenserver gpu passthrough

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me or point me in the direction of a hardware compatabiliy list of servers that support GPU passthrough with xenserver 6.2? It seems to be available on Dell R420’s and Dell R620’s, but is missing from the R210’s and I wondered if there is a definitive list anywhere. Tha

Windows Template Question

Hello Chaps, I have a question that nobody seems to be able to answer for me, so I thought I’d try my luck with you guys. When I first deployed our CloudStack and captured a windows template, the resulting windows VMs would take about 2 minutes from being requested to being deployed and up. Th

Migrating existing VMs into Cloudstack

Good morning guys, What is the best process to follow for importing existing Xenserver Virtual Machines from their native hosts into apache cloudstack? I have a couple of VM’s running on some old Xenserver5 hosts that I would like to bring into the cloud, but struggling to find a documented pro

Possible to try and use one host first?

Hey guys, In my 4.3 environment I’ve got 2 xen hosts online at the moment. I kind of assumed that CloudStack would fill one up then move onto the other, which it doesn’t. I can see why it wouldn’t when I think about it, as it minimises contention and makes it so that there is less data to ship b

Public and Guest networks

Hi guys, I’ve set up a zone in 4.3 that has two physical networks. On the first physical network is just the management stuff. The second network has both guest and public traffic, on separate VLANs. When I deploy a new instance in the zone, there is only one network assigned to the VM, and it’

NFS storage

Hi all, Can someone give me an overview of how the NFS storage works? Like what servers should have an NFS share mounted once a zone is enabled? I’m using NFS for my secondary storage. During deployment I mount the nfs share as /mnt/secondary and seed the template to the secondary storage. This

Think I found the problem - looks like NFS hadn’t set up correctly for whatever reason. Have just fixed that and have ditched the db and am starting again with zone creation! Fingers crossed this time! -Original Message- From: John Muckley [mailto:j.muck...@databax.com] Sent: 13

SSVM will not come online following host reboot

Hi guys, So i'm running a CloudStack 4.2 environment. I had an issue with my xenserver host shutting down windows VMs unexpectedly, which citrix looked at for me. Citrix advised to install updates and reboot the host, which I have done this morning. Since the reboot, I cannot bring a secondary
