Re: Ubuntu 16.04, Openvswitch networking issue

Importantly, if you're in a multi-hypervisor setup, you need to account for what'll happen when all clusters of a hypervisor type go down. In your case, if the KVM cluster goes down and you've pinned the systems VMs to the KVM cluster, then CloudStack won't be able to restart them on either

Re: Ubuntu 16.04, Openvswitch networking issue

In order to use OVS, you need both the virtual switch and the control plane. Those messages largely boil down to "We can't find an appropriate control plane for your chosen network topology and hypervisor." This then raises the questions of which control plane are you attempting to use, and which

Re: New Initial HW Setup

Good morning. I think it's probably best to take a step back and define a couple of things. 1. The management server is really a highly efficient cluster manager. It runs external to the compute nodes. 2. A compute node contains CPU and RAM, has a network fabric, and may have local storage.

Re: Managed Storage

Jeff, Here's the way I look at things when XenServer is the hypervisor, and this is primary storage specific. NFS - NFS mount is created outside of XenServer, and within CS you create primary storage using that mount. You then effectively bind that primary storage to a XenServer cluster forming
