I have one suggested update to your blog post, in case other people may encounter the same issue we had. In your script for enabling pool HA, it left HA timeout to the default value. This default timeout value may not be long enough to prevent premature hypervisor self fencing. In our case, all three of our XenServers went into self fencing during a planned NetApp cluster maintenance when cluster head switchover happened. Here is a Citrix support doc describing how to set new HA timeout values: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX139166 Thanks, Yiping On 1/6/15, 8:48 AM, "Geoff Higginbottom" <geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com> wrote: >@Suresh, > >The link you referenced is a design doc for a possible future feature, >this is NOT in CloudStack as of today. > >@Sonali, > >As promised, here is a link to the article I have been working on today >covering the use of XenServer HA with CloudStack, > >http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack/xenserver-native-ha-with-cloudstack/ > >In summary if you have installed XS62ESP1004 then you MUST start using >XenServer HA on your XenServer Clusters, if you don¹t, and the Pool >Master goes down, no new Pool Master will be elected. > >Regards > >Geoff Higginbottom > >D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 > >geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com > >-----Original Message----- >From: Suresh Sadhu [mailto:suresh.sa...@citrix.com] >Sent: 06 January 2015 16:06 >To: users@cloudstack.apache.org >Subject: RE: Xenserver pool HA in Cloudstack > >From xen6.2 onwards cloudstack deponds(leverages) on xen native HA >capabilities Please check below link: >https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/User+VM+HA+using >+na >tive+XS+HA+capabilities > > >regards >sadhu > >-----Original Message----- >From: Somesh Naidu [mailto:somesh.na...@citrix.com] >Sent: 06 January 2015 21:25 >To: users@cloudstack.apache.org >Subject: RE: Xenserver pool HA in Cloudstack > >Sonali, what version of XS are you using? > >-----Original Message----- >From: Geoff Higginbottom [mailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com] >Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2015 9:03 AM >To: users@cloudstack.apache.org >Subject: RE: Xenserver pool HA in Cloudstack > >Sonali, > >There have been some changes recently and as luck would have it today I >am working on a blog article for www.shapeblue.com covering the correct >way to configure HA in XenServer.
