I don't use XenServer maintenance mode until after CloudStack has put the Host in maintenance mode. When you initiate maintenance mode from the host rather than CloudStack the db does not know where the VM's are and your UUID's get jacked. CS is your brains not the hypervisor. Maintenance in C

CloudStack should always do the migration of VM's not the Hypervisor. That's not true. You can safely migrate outside of CloudStack as the power report will tell CloudStack where the vms live and the db gets updated accordingly. I do this a lot while patching and that works fine on 6.2 and 6.5.

No guys,as the article wrote, my first action was to put in Maintenance Mode the Pool Master INSIDE CS; "It is vital that you upgrade the XenServer Pool Master first before any of the Slaves. To do so you need to empty the Pool Master of all CloudStack VMs, and you do this by putting the Host into

Hi all, There is nothing better than looking at the source code. After the VM migration (or restart for LCX ?!), when the host is put in maintenance mode, for Xenserver it will remove a tag called “cloud”. On Sat, Jan 2, 2016 at 7:38 PM, Davide Pala wrote: > i don't know what do the maintenanc

That is true it is not putting the host in maintenance. Not just the master, but any XenServer host. The question is, should it? If so, we should open a Jira ticket. On Sat, Jan 2, 2016 at 9:18 PM, Davide Pala wrote: > So i dont know anything about cloud on xenserver and for this reason i > thi

No. The upgrade must be done with a cold reboot without the maintenance. XS pool master mist be the master again when it boot Inviato dal mio dispositivo Samsung Messaggio originale Da: Rafael Weingärtner Data: 03/01/2016 00:25 (GMT+01:00) A: [email protected] Ogg

until we use "xe pool-designate-new-master", the master of the pool will not change. Unless, you have configured the HA features in your XenServer Pool/cluster, the reboot of the master may trigger a change of master server. Bottom line: today, the code does not change the master server of a XenS

Hi Alessandro, Without seeing the logs, or DB, it will be hard to diagnose the issue. I've seen something similar in the past, where the XenServer host version isnt getting updated in the DB, as part of the XS upgrade process. That caused CloudStack to use the wrong hypervisor resource to try conne
