Thanks for the info Ram. Can you please suggest any opensource hyper-visor platform which can be used with cloudstack 4.1 (vSphere and Xenserver earlier versions are commercial I believe). Though KVM can be used but it is a para-virtualization package and not a bare metal hypervisor. On 07/10/1

If you eventually intend using opensource XenServer 6.2 (a good choice) then you can deploy the free version of XenServer 6.1 for now, then either upgrade it to 6.2 or if this is not possible (I hope it will be) do a rolling upgrade of your Hosts to 6.2 once it is available. You only need to th

vm stuck in stopping state

I am using the latest CloudPlatform with XenServer 6.1 and I have a Windows vm stuck in 'Stopping' state in the UI. This vm is no longer present on any hypervisor. I don't need this instance or its disk. How can I safely remove this from the UI and be confident its disk is also expunged?

Re: vm stuck in stopping state

did you mean cloudstack? cloudplatform is a citrix product, i'd assume comes with support. Either way vmsync isnt capturing the state of your vm. what one can do is create a db backup, and modify the state of the vm... with something like: update vm_instance set state='Stopped' where id = ; then

Hi, unless something changed (I checked 4.0/4.1 release notes and found nothing), CloudStack uses the native vSphere HA (unlike XenServer and KVM), so HA must be enabled in a CloudStack-managed vSphere for HA to work. Shutting down a VM through vCenter is probably seen as a valid shutdown (same as

This is sort of related to this topic. It sounds like CS relies on vCenter for HA. How about for XenServer and KVM? I don't think KVM has any notion of HA, so I assume CS handles it for KVM. Is that true? With XenServer, is CS the only entity that handles HA or can that be enabled within XenSer
