System Template not working on second Zone

2018-10-29 Thread Raymon van der Meijden
I`m running a cloudstack cluster for some time now and i`m getting the hang of it. So i tried to add an additional Zone (Advanced) but i cannot get the system VM to start. The VM`s are created and a running according to cloudstack. But when i check the VM using VNC there is no OS available (

Hello Raymon, I had the same issue (SSVMs booting but no OS existing). At the end I found out that this happened because my network labels were not set correctly so the networks were not allocated properly no proper connection to the secondary storage was available. This means th

Go to Infrastructure --> Zones --> ZONE_NAME --> Physical Networks --> NAME_of_SECONDARY_STORAGE_NETWORK - if you used dedicated STORAGE network, otherwise it's shared with the Management Network, so go to this one, and than again click on "Storage" button again and make sure KVM traffic label is s

(after that, disable Zone, destroy SSVM/CPVM, enable Zone and they will be recreated again...) btw /template/1/224/ translates to /template/Account_ID/template_ID/ (similar path is used for snapshots and upoaded volumes) - so your path is OK - template/1 is system account, while i.e. t

The labels of the Management Zone are cloudbr0 on all KVM Hypervisors. The difference with this hypervisor is that i tried running a cloudbr0:1 subinterface for the hypervisor to also act as NFS storage on the secondary IP. This secondary IP is also making the connection to the management

Tests will be done for sure. Use case is 5-minute snapshots on VMs for ultra-high-availability hybrid cloud - to provide small and medium businesses with a reliable system that, in the case of issues, loses as little work as possible. On Sun, Oct 28, 2018 at 6:00 AM Andrija Panic wrote: > I'm n

It would help if you would explain networking on the KVM side - how many interfaces, bonds or not, vlans or not, bridge names, etc and how did you setup your differetn Traffic across Physical Network inside CloudStack (did you place red circle "Storage" on the right part on Physical Network, or no

I wouldn't comment on the feasibility of this - but snapshots that stays on Primary Storage... in case of Primary Storage issues, will be unusable also. Perhaps you are talking about issues inside VMs - in this sense, again, snapshots might not be (in my opinion...) the best solution, at least such

Alexandre, I don't recommend to go with such an idea. If you would like to go with such HA-approach, your customers end with unfunctional VMs. Better to go with sync, uncached storage and some sort of snapshotting like ZFS send/receive or proprietary technology. Also, think about managed HA service

https://rohityadav.cloud/blog/cloudstack-kvm/ this is for most recent 4.11 release and Ubuntu 18.04. Advanced Zone and NFS on same box etc - all in one box. For local storage, you need to decide if you really want "Local storage" or "Shared Storage: (i.e. local storage being by default /var/lib/
