editting wiki pages under migration

[Donal Lafferty]

Is the ASF community or Citrix migrating the old wiki 
(http://wiki.cloudstack.org) to ASF (https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/)?

I wanted to update Setting up Cloudstack dev environment on Windows 
(http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/dev/Setting%20up%20Cloudstack%20dev%20environment%20on%20Windows),
 but I can't tell what the procedure is.

[Donal Lafferty]

I can update the existing page, which is linked to by the ASF site.

However, the existing page itself is on the old wiki.

Please update the page on the ASF site. The old wiki will become internal to

housekeeping: which git repo?

[Donal Lafferty]

I noticed on our wiki that we've a couple of different GIT repos referenced.

Apache CloudStack 
(http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/develop/environment.html) recommends  
at https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git

Elsewhere, https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/ points to 
https://github.com/CloudStack/CloudStack  (use the 'Git: Working with 
CloudStack 
codehttp://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/dev/Working%20with%20the%20CloudStack%20code'
 link)

Cloud someone summarise which repo to use?

Since I'm coming at it as a beginner, knowing the most *stable* head to use 
would also help a great deal :)

Couple of questions about

2.   Do these instructions include a work around for the taskdef class

What version of MySQL to use?

[Donal Lafferty]

Quick question about what version of MySQL to use.

In the 5.1 range, MySQL offers towards 5.1.65.  However, their latest seems to 
be 5.5

What version are people using?  Does it matter?

RE: Github integration

[Donal Lafferty]

Hi Noah,

You raise an interesting point about trademarks.  Are virtual paths in github 
repos considered a mark of authenticity?  If we go by mere name matching, I see 
a possibility .  However, Apache itself establishes a different mark of 
authenticity by placing 'apache' at the root of their virtual path.  AFAIK, UK 
courts expect the average consumer to be able to grasp these subtleties.  I 
expect this is because they don't like impediments to commerce.  Also, they'll 
have to take a narrow view of trademark to avoid overlapping claims from github 
itself.

WRT emails for all GIT pulls, wouldn't broadcasting pull requests clutter the 
dev mailing list?

 The CloudStack account on Github needs to be cleaned up then. Perhaps

 it looks like a canonical source for Apache CloudStack. Obviously, this isn't
 okay. CloudStack is (or will be) a trademark of the ASF, and needs to be

 Additionally, the README.md in the CloudStack repository should probably

Hi Noah,

I'm not the guy to ask about shifting the Citrix CloudPlatform repo to a new 
URL.  However, everyone will be eager to find a bright line solution that 
avoids a debate over the scope of Apache's trademarks!

With that in mind, can someone else help address these points?

 Apache, Apache CloudStack, and CloudStack are all trademarks of the Apache
 Software Foundation. (Or they will be once CloudStack graduates.) Therefor,
 we have to be careful about using them. And third parties have to be careful
 about using them. Third parties should not cause any confusion about what is
 and what isn't a part of the Apache CloudStack project.
 
 You can read more our policy here:
 
 http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/
 
 The point I want to make, however, is that it's a little more than just some
 virtual paths in a Git repos here.
 
 Some ways in which the current CloudStack account on GitHub are
 problematic:
 
- CloudStack is used as the account name, in both the URL and the UI
- The account advertises itself as the CloudStack Project
- There is a repository itself called CloudStack
- There is a link to http://cloudstack.org
- The word CloudStack is frequently used in repository names
- There isn't a single mention of Apache anywhere on the page
 
 Now, admittedly, all of these things exist because this account used to be the
 home of CloudStack. It is not as if someone has come along after the fact,
 and is now using our name irresponsibly. But they still present an issue,
 because there is significant scope for confusion here.
 
 I am assuming there are already plans in place to retire the original 
 repository
 as part of the move to Apache. This should, of course, include a rebranding,
 and a reworking of this GitHub account. Do you know what the timeline is for
 that?

RE: CloudStack vs CloudPlatform

[Donal Lafferty]

Is the customer claiming to have CPBM on top of (ASF) CloudStack now?  Or are 
you proposing do use CloudStack as the CloudOS?

Existing deployments are probably what is now called CloudPlatform.  CloudStack 
moved to ASF only this past April.  At that point, there was a fork in the code 
base to allow the ASF incubator to get underway.  AFAIK, the first stable 
release from the incubator project will be 4.0.  Prior to that the incubator 
was busy bullet-proofing the licensing, putting together the ASF portal, and 
switching the build system over to maven.  Therefore, an existing CPBM is 
probably using CloudPlatform.  

[Can an expert review these comments!]

  Citrix fixing issues in CloudPlatform that are not fed back into Apache
  Cloudstack?
  There's also two bugtrackers: bugs.cloudstack.org and

 Chip is correct, to add to the confusion, CloudPortal is now called
 CloudPlatform Business Manager :)
 So CloudPlatform is Citrix's CloudStack 'distro'. It would be narrower in
 terms of features and is supportable by Citrix.

I have also tried to create a new VM, install Ubuntu 12.04 and xcp-xapi on
it; tried to add this as cloud node and failed.

Please help !

  Hi Edison,
 
  I have try your method and the result is that I can't add devcloud node

  Can you solve this problem? Thank you so much.

 Try to ping 192.168.56.1 and try to ssh into your vm, if you're not able
 to do it:

 Goto VirtualBox Manager; open settings of the vm, goto network, check what
 is the host-only adapter name (vboxnet0 is default)
 Now, open VBox Manager-Preferences-Network-select vboxnet0 (the
 default)-edit

 Check the IPv4 Address, the wiki guide [0] uses 192.168.56.1 as the
 gateway, set this IP in the IPv4 field and make sure you've no dhcp server
 on this network. On Windows, while installing VirtualBox, the guide assumes
 you had installed the network adapters and they were not disabled or
 removed (for the host-only adapter functionality).

 Make sure, you set the promiscuous mode to allow all (this petty setting
 ate [1] many hours of my life).

  Anyway, in this wiki page, you said start mgt server on your laptop
  including deploy DB in both my laptop and devcloud VM; and in step 8
 you
  also said deploy in devcloud, so while deploy in devcloud, the mgt
  server
  will still run on my laptop with its own DB and another mgt server will
  be
  devcloud VM, do I understand right ?
 
  No, all the commands are running on your laptop. Mgt server will add
  devcloud vm as a hypervisor host.
  Btw, I updated the document: need to configure network in devcloud vm,
  otherwise mgt server can't connect to devcloud vm.
 
  I will try and give feedback.

Sorry, that should say 'using -P developer'.

In my case, the issue is that tools/marvin/marvin/jsonHelper.py uses the 
cloudstackAPI module before it is generated.

Hi Hieu,

How did you run the final step (#8)?

I think there is a typo.

Instead of 'mvn -P deploysvr -pl tools/devcloud -Ddeploysvr' try 'mvn -P 
developer -pl tools/devcloud -Ddeploysvr'

[Donal Lafferty]

I don't see any reference to 'tools/devcloud' or 'tools/marvin' in 
${basedir}/pom.xml

Perhaps I'm not using the latest source or that the github mirror is not in 
sync.  Or perhaps there are some tweaks required to turn on tools/devcloud that 
are not in the default source.

BTW, mvn install gives the following projects, do you get the same?

Newcomers rely heavily on the wiki to figure out what is going on.  When the

look at today's mailing list posts. :)

If there were a breadcrumb trail that pointed out which wiki's had to be

Also, are you attempting to deploy to a database that is already configured.  

E.g. have you tried running every command in Step 7 
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+devcloud+environment+setup)
 starting at 'mvn -P developer install' ?

Have you solved this issue ?

Question : When we run the following command mvn -pl :cloud-client-ui
jetty:run and mvn -P developer,deploysvr -pl tools/devcloud -Ddeploysvr,
how is CloudStack able to retrieve/connect to management server running on
machine with IP address (192.168.56.2) ? Is it because this is the by
default IP address or is there a discovery mechanism sending packets in the
LAN ?

Hi,

I just did a fresh CloudStack 4.0 installation from the Debian packages we have 
and I found a dependency issue.

cloud-agent does not depend on cloud-system-iso, thus it doesn't get installed.

This took me about 2 hours to figure out why my System VMs weren't working 
properly.

I'll push a fix for this to the master branch, but this will be broken in the 
4.0 release.

When using apt to install the Agent from the Debian repo they will have to 
manually install the system-iso package.

I'm thinking about adding this dependency to the packages on 
cloudstack.apt-get.eu to prevent this from happening to new users.

Subject: Proposed fixes for debian package building process

Hi,

There appear to be some errors in the debian package building process; I'd like 
to double-check my approach for fixing them.

The wiki [1] gives the procedure for building debian packages as:
mvn install -P deps  dpkg-buildpackage

However, mvn install -P deps fails with:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project cloud-deps: Could not resolve 
dependencies for project
org.apache.cloudstack:cloud-deps:jar:4.1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact 
org.apache.cloudstack:cloud-awsapi:jar:4.1.0-SNAPSHOT in apache.snapshots 
(http://repository.apache.org/snapshots) - [Help 1]

The reason for this failure seems to be this section of deps/pom.xml:
dependency
  groupIdorg.apache.cloudstack/groupId
  artifactIdcloud-awsapi/artifactId
  version${project.version}/version
/dependency

${project.version} is 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT, however looking at 
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/cloudstack/cloud-awsapi/,
I only see 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT.

If I replace ${project.version} for cloud-awsapi in deps/pom.xml with a 
hardcoded 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT, mvn -P deps succeeds. An alternative fix would be 
if 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT version of cloud-awsapi was available on 
repository.apache.org.

I also found that in order for dpkg-buildpackage to succeed, I needed to run 
mvn install -P deps -pl deps rather than just mvn install -P deps.

For reference, if you run dpkg-buildpackages without running mvn -P deps, the 
error returned is:
/PATH/incubator-cloudstack/build/build-aws-api.xml:34: taskdef class 
org.apache.axis2.tool.ant.AntCodegenTask cannot be found

Lastly, I would have expected mvn clean to remove the .jars in the deps 
folder, however it does not - this made debugging interesting!

Proposed changes:
* Hardcode 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT as the version of cloud-awsapi in deps/poms.xml
* Change the wiki to reflect the fact that mvn install -P deps -pl deps
needs to be run when building debian packages
* Change mvn clean to remove the jars from the deps folder

Please let me know if those changes make sense, or if I'm missing something. If 
they look OK, I'll create a patch and submit.

Thanks,
Dave.

New features should go into master, the 4.0 branch is just for maintaining 4.0.

Master should be pretty stable, but now and then it's a moving target since we 
are still sorting out the build process.

[DISCUSS] Plugin anatomy questions

[Donal Lafferty]

AFAIK plugins are currently implemented in two halves.  One half is loaded by 
the management server.  The other half is a ServerResource that controls the 
device.  E.g. a Discoverer establishes communications with a ServerResource 
corresponding to a hypervisor host.


1.   Since the bit loaded by the management server is long winded, is 
there another general terms that I can use to refer to this half?


As for the plugin's interface to the management server.  This seems to be 
expressed in two parts.  First, there's a Java interface of methods the plugin 
must implement.  E.g. interface Discoverer defines the key methods for 
establishing contact with a hypervisor.  Secondly, there's a set of objects a 
plugin can reference via dependency injection.  E.g. when Discoverer.configure 
is called, it should register as a ResourceStateAdapter using a reference to 
the ResourceManager.  The ResourceManager is obtained through dependency 
injection.


2.   Are there any plans to remove the dependency injections available to 
plugin implementations?

Here's my two-bits on OSGi.  I actually started a thread like 
this sometime ago to which Mohammad reference.  I then did some 
research
   on what
OSGi can do.  The problems I looked at using OSGi for just isn't
solvable
by OSGi.
   
For example,
- How to contain fault within an availability zone.
- How to do rolling upgrade and phase out the rolling upgrades 
over
a
  span
of days to deal with the time that it might take.
- How to do database upgrades/downgrades for the plugins
- How to scale different components differently
   
OSGi does solve some problems
- How to enable and disable plugins on a production system but 
I'm
not
quite sure how reliable that is.  Even eclipse asks you to 
restart
eclipse
after adding a plugin.
   
  
   I know the answer that Marcel would say about this point :D
 
  I just talked to someone who says it does work reliably in their
environments.
 
  
  
   
I think after looking at this, then I decided that
   
- For modularity, nothing is better than compilation boundaries.
 The
problem with some of the plugins is that it depends on 
cloud-core
and
cloud-server.  It shouldn't .  All plugins must build to 
cloud-api
only.
 Since all interfaces of CloudStack is in cloud-api (if you 
think
about
that then cloud-api is basically the OSGi bundle), that's
sufficient to
separate the plugins.
- For lifecycle of plugins, it probably requires that we switch 
to
deploy
in something like Karaf before we can achieve runtime lifecycle
changes.
 I'm not sure it's entire necessary and it doesn't take care of 
a
plugin's
database versioning problem.
- To resolve the other problems, we basically need to break
cloudstack
into separate processes.  Hence I've proposed the idea of
disaggregating
cloudstack.
   
  
   Again, I am not an OSGi expert, but from what you say it is more 
   about compile and build time and making the separation of what one 
   module should depend on what very clear and documented which we 
   already do in my company as we also have a huge stack and also 
   looked into OSGi which again a
great
   tool but when we don't need everything it offers, we exactly 
   needed
what
   you explained and we manage that mostly through good usage of 
   Maven which I know is tricky
  
   About the runtime aspects and database versioning I am afraid I am 
   not aware about the internals and the exact requirements and hence 
   I can't
  give
   any input
  
   On another side, as in either case we need to *disaggregate* ACS, 
   we
can
   make the disaggregated module OSGi ready at least as a 1st step
towards
   assessing whether OSGi is the way we should go or not, and when it 
   is
  more
   clear then we can either say no it is not the option we need or we
will
   then be ready for the full move to OSGi
  
   Thoughts ?
 
  My current thoughts are the large disaggregated CloudStack Services 
  are going to be RESTful services.  I don't see any benefits for them 
  to be
OSGi
  components for the reasons I've already listed.
 
  However, each service still may deploy plugins.  Those plugins can 
  be converted to OSGi.  It shouldn't be too difficult to do it as well.

 And that is if we see there's a good match with OSGi.  I can see for
example that if people want to add more automation, background monitoring etc,

Take a look at section 4 of the ASLv2 license itself [1].  It lays out the 
rules of derivative work for ASLv2 licensed software.

In our case, we would probably do the following:
1 - Retain the original copyright notice(s) at the top of the file(s) in 
question
2 - Add a comment to header of the source code files in question, noting that 
they have been modified from the original source project's version.
3 - Include the relevant contents of the source project's NOTICE file in our own

This all assumes that the code in question is licensed under ASLv2, but 
specifics may lead to a slightly different interpretation.  Are you asking for 
the purpose of a CloudStack code submission?  Or are you asking more generally 
about ASLv2?

These two have a ton of authors listed, and date back to 2010.
Perhaps someone knows more about them?


 I don't see all the three above in commands.properties neither any inherited

 good candidates for removal but do so carefully. Best would be if you can 
 catch hold of the authors somehow :)

 ListTemplateOrIsoPermissionsCmd
 UpdateTemplateOrIsoCmd
 UpdateTemplateOrIsoPermissionsCmd


 The above three classes shouldn't be removed. They are generic classes for 
 template / iso apis.

 Do we need them, they are not listed on the apidocs (3.0.2 or 4.0) either.

RE: CentOS System Offering Thread

[Donal Lafferty]

Is ./patches/systemvm/debian/buildsystemvm.sh what you're looking for?

It targets Debian Squeeze and includes the latest security updates.

I'd be keen to know if it is triggered by a mvn build and how I can use its 
outputs.

This is pretty important.  Anyone should be able to roll their own, rather than 
relying on a single potentially out-of-date image. It seems like it would be 
pretty simple and straightforward on the face of it, however many of the 
scripts have been written specifically for Debian. I'd honestly be ok with 
having to stick to a particular distro if I at least had clear instructions on 
how to make my own, I understand the need to program against a single defined

 I'd like to resurrect this thread - as the other thread got carried

 My reasoning behind this move - is due to e1000 bug that affects 
 Debian Wheezy, vSphere 5.0 (and possibly newer 5.1) and the router VM 
 in Advanced Network Zone. While I could spent lots of time 
 troubleshooting this issue - my environment is mostly RHEL/CentOS 
 based and therefore - it would not hurt to have multiple flavors.

 I'm also a lot more comfortable with RHEL based distros - but that 
 just my preference.

 In addition, this would be a good learning experience and I plan to 
 document on how to create your custom system offerings. I also plan to 
 add on more features than whats currently available - one of them 
 being nginx - and more to come as need arises.  The end goal is to 
 have an automated solution using kickstart scripts that will be easy 
 to upgrade and built on any platform.

 I could probably reverse engineer the existing System Offerings - but 
 anything that could save my time in this effort - would be truly 
 appreciated.

 With this in mind - I'm looking for any existing documentation that 
 would describe the steps in achieving this goal.

 If you would like to join me in this effort - please let me know.

Your point is clear and well taken. Nobody wants to be in business of 
maintaining myriad of distros out there for something that should not be 
changed anyway. 

I see two solutions then:

1) update the existing debian wheezy image to reflect latest fixes - which is 
probably something that should do anyway.

2) maybe have a section of  - user submitted and unsupported system 
offerings? We can clearly state - we support 1 type of offering and other 
offerings are optional and unsupported  - but your own responsibility and 
should be used by advanced users only.

It's going to make things a bit more tricky when someone reports a bug and 
they're using a roll-your-own system VM and the people doing the testing are

Hi Chiradeep, 

To clear up some confusion, does the current script (buildsystemvm.sh) run as

Again, to clear up some confusion, can you comment on whether buildsystem.sh 
adds pv-drivers need to a System VM?  I was confused by comments last week 
about whether the VMM-specific tools/guest additions/integration services were 
required to be installed for a system VM to operate properly.

Yes, it is for performance reasons.
CentOS
 -has a different place for network init scripts  -has a different 
initialization scheme (chkconfig vs LSB init)  -has a different place to 
initialize iptables

Centos also may use GRUB-legacy vs GRUB2 for booting.
The current systemvm uses GRUB-legacy since XS 5.6 only supported GRUB-legacy, 
but it might be time to move on.

A more suitable systemvm build script might be based on veewee/vagrant, along 
with qemu-img to do the final conversion to vhd/qcow2

 Subject: '[PROPOSAL]' Third party plugins
 
 Hello All,
 
 I would like to discuss a new feature that is being worked on for the 
 next release of CloudStack. It is the ability to add third party 
 plugins into CloudStack while still utilizing the current ui. The 
 procedure in which this would occur is as follows:
 
 
 1.   The developer  will write a plugin that they would like to add into
 CloudStack
 
 2.Using a predetermined file hierarchy we create, the developer will
 place their plugin within the folder structure and fill out a 
 plugin.js file
 
 3.   The admin will then place this folder into the existing CloudStack
 plugin
 
 4.   The admin will then add this new listing onto the plugin.js file 
 that lies
 within that folder
 
 5.   The user then just has to refresh the browser and the plugin will be
 available to use.
 
 We will be toying with the idea of adding a plugin button to the 
 navigation so that the user can see what plugins have been installed 
 and click on them to access them.
 
 Please see the link below for more information.

RE: Adding .NET/C# client to project

[Donal Lafferty]

The library was developed in Citrix to simplify accessing the CS API from C#.  
The intent is to release code under the ASLv2.0 license.

The addition would follow community processes, which includes posting a feature 
spec on wiki, announcing this to community, answering questions on design, 
proposing code for review, and providing docs.

However, I wanted to know in advance how the code was going to fit in with the 
existing code base.

 I've a question on terminology.
 
 Are these 'GUI plugins' going to use the same component.xml class loader as 
 existing plugins?  If not, can we pick different names for each approach to 
 providing a plugin?  E.g. 'GUI plugins' and 'driver plugins'?

 Subject: '[PROPOSAL]' Third party plugins
 
 Hello All,
 
 I would like to discuss a new feature that is being worked on for the 
 next release of CloudStack. It is the ability to add third party 
 plugins into CloudStack while still utilizing the current ui. The 
 procedure in which this would occur is as follows:
 
 
 1.   The developer  will write a plugin that they would like to add into
 CloudStack
 
 2.Using a predetermined file hierarchy we create, the developer will
 place their plugin within the folder structure and fill out a 
 plugin.js file
 
 3.   The admin will then place this folder into the existing CloudStack
 plugin
 
 4.   The admin will then add this new listing onto the plugin.js file 
 that lies
 within that folder
 
 5.   The user then just has to refresh the browser and the plugin will be
 available to use.
 
 We will be toying with the idea of adding a plugin button to the 
 navigation so that the user can see what plugins have been installed 
 and click on them to access them.
 
 Please see the link below for more information.

RE: Adding .NET/C# client to project

[Donal Lafferty]

Collocation with CLI seems intuitive.

AFAIK, you can build a cmdlet library on to of the SDK.  This would have to be 
done in a follow up project.

There is already a CLI tool that Rohit had written. The C# client can also go 
in there and have a similar hierarchy in the source tree.
BTW, have you considered making it Powershell cmdlets instead?

The library was developed in Citrix to simplify accessing the CS API from C#.  
The intent is to release code under the ASLv2.0 license.

The addition would follow community processes, which includes posting a feature 
spec on wiki, announcing this to community, answering questions on design, 
proposing code for review, and providing docs.

However, I wanted to know in advance how the code was going to fit in with the 
existing code base.

 The background is that there's a .NET SDK that can be added to the 
 project.  Architecturally, its similar to AWS' .NET SDK.  Now, not all 
 API calls are covered, but the API calls supported provide a guide 
 adding additional support.
 

What .NET library and what license? Is the plan to include the binary to the

RE: Changes to the wiki

[Donal Lafferty]

Okay, some user feedback...

Would prefer not to land on the cwiki 'Index' page.  

E.g. Wikipedia tells people the project page is  http://cloudstack.org/ , which 
redirects to http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/   From here, you clikc 
'Apache CloudStack Wiki and get to 
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Index , which is the 
index.

Would prefer faster page.  It takes 30s (I timed it) for the link about to 
load.  I think this is specific to the 'index' page, but I could be wrong. 

Finally, and apologies if this is covered under a thread earlier this week, 
where do all things related to a feature go?  E.g. I'd like to note the setup 
instructions for Hyper-V dev environment.  This isn't quite design, but it is a 
developer thing.  Should I put a child under the design, or should there be a 
feature specific page?

 The top level structure is clean now, but we still have a bit of a 
 mess within the top sections.  It might make sense to have people sign 
 up to clean/up and structure each top level section.  I'll start by 
 doing the Releases section (which, yes, I know is easy).

Yes.  Each top level section requires someone to go through and think about 
what that type of user wants to see and add pages for them.  For example, under 
operators(which I welcome a better name, maybe Administrators?), I can see at 
least Deploying tips, Debugging tips, Dealing with bugs, FAQ, Deployment 
Stories, Use cases, etc as top level page.

Like I said in a previous email, I had wanted the current top level pages to be 
tabs with table of content inside each tab but I just couldn't find a way to do 
it that way, at least not with my privileges on confluence.

[DISCUSS] StartCommand UUID

[Donal Lafferty]

In a plugin that processes the StartCommand command, what are the constraints 
on the id, uuid and name fields?

E.g. how unique is each field?

The background is that I've been using name as the VM identifier on Hyper-V, 
but it occurs to me that I should probably be using UUID.

[DISCUSS] StopCommand

[Donal Lafferty]

Is StopCommand meant to release resources associated with a VM save the volumes 
in one operation?

E.g. should it complete only after the VM has come to a complete stop?

RE: Feature proposals and testing

[Donal Lafferty]

Okay, so here's a question on reuse.

Are there sample hypervisor control commands in the code base?

At the moment, I dump JSON versions of commands to log, and use this JSON as 
the basis of my unit tests.  To save time, I'd like access to permutations of 
existing command objects and the sequence that they're called in.  E.g. for new 
VM you should see a CreateCommand before a StartCommand.

Can anyone point to a map or list of reusable tests in the code base?  For now, 
reuse in the sense of copy/paste/hack would suffice.

Hi folks:

I've seen a number of feature proposals coming through in the past week. Almost 
universally there seems to be almost zero discussion of testing for the 
proposed features.

I personally, do not consider a feature to complete without a plan to test - 
and almost certainly in automated test format via marvin. For most features I'd 
also consider it incomplete without significant unit test coverage.

Please make sure you have a plan that focuses on testing all these wonderful 
new features you are writing.

RE: CloudStack Hyper V support

[Donal Lafferty]

Hi Chip,

How timely.  I'm due to publish an update for Monday.

I would like the community to comment on 'design notes'.  E.g. secondary 
storage strategy given that there's no NFS client native to Hyper-V Server 
2012, and networking strategy, given that I'm using a XenServer cluster for my 
system VMs.  Is it best to put these on the cwiki as children of the feature 
spec?

I would also like people familiar with QA to comment on the unit test strategy. 
 Is this best brought up at next Tuesday's design meeting?

Finally, can anyone comment on integrating to Master?  To keep the target 
stable, I use an offline maven repo circa mid-December.  I'll have to update my 
source to target the updated API commands.  Are there any cuts of Master that 
are more stable than others?

 QA doesn't do unit test.  You will have to do it.  We can certainly discuss 
 it on
 the meeting.

I wrote unit tests for each command being implemented.  

The question is do I need an extra layer to cover use-cases?  In that case, 
what use cases are other hypervisor plugins covering?

  target stable, I use an offline maven repo circa mid-December.  I'll

 I think it's been brought to light that ACS community prefers that repos are
 not offline.  Is it possible to move it to github?  I don't think any cut of 
 Master
 are going to particularly stable than others unless you go all the way to 4.0.
 We'll have to deal with that after the code freeze date and QA testing.

The plugin code is in github, but not the Apache GitHub.  I used 'maven repo' 
to refer to the binaries that maven downloads.

The reason for using the older repos is to get sample commands for the unit 
tests.  These come from looking at the log files during an integration test.

I had problems with detaching VDIs on Wheezy on XenServer March/April 2012.

RE: Build SystemVM template

[Donal Lafferty]

I was using Xen guest tools, but not for a System VM.  Instead, I was using the 
VM to write disk images to volumes from within my CloudStack account. 

Details of the bug are below.  

Changing from Debian 7.0 to Debian6.0.5 appears to have solved problem.

Donal Lafferty  -  6/18/12 6:42:10 PM

os.fsync is not properly supported by the underlying Dom0 drivers.  Problem 
seems to be that they do not advertise the feature-flush-cache capability.  
Instead, they advertise feature-barriers, but they do not implement it.  As a 
result, you get the following messages:

Jun 18 23:53:39 debian70min kernel: [  186.884574] blkfront: barrier: empty

 I had problems with detaching VDIs on Wheezy on XenServer March/April
 2012.  There was no reason to report the problem at the time, because
 XenServer didn't cite Wheezy as a supported guest OS.  Also, I expect I was

Updating Register Template UI

[Donal Lafferty]

I'd like to add a vhdx image type to the Register template UI.

Is anyone familiar with what this would involve?

E.g. do I need to update a UI, or are RegisterTemplate settings built from the

Jira Issue for Unit Test Fail? (ApiRateLimitTest)

[Donal Lafferty]

I cloned Master to make sure I could build with 'mvn install build'  in Cygwin 
(in a Windows development environment)

In the cloud-plugin-api-limit-account-based, the ApiRateLimitTest fails with 
message:  Failed tests:

This isn't a known Windows issue, i.e. nothing noted at

Should I contact the developer directly, create an issue in Jira, both, or

 I think , the UI code needs to be updated here . Currently the type of image
 formats are hardcoded based on the hypervisor types as shown below  -
 
 if(args.hypervisor == XenServer) {
 
  items.push({id:'VHD', description: 'VHD'});
   }
 
 Once the format type is passed to the API call then the API logic would take 
 it
 further . So Donal , in your case , I believe, you are probably asking with
 reference to Hyper-V in mind , you would need to update the UI code or one
 of us can do it for you.

RE: Jira Issue for Unit Test Fail? (ApiRateLimitTest)

I have a couple of these, and I think they have to do with using a Windows

For the one discussed below, I have no domain knowledge.  It seems a better 
idea to get in touch with a developer, which I did by looking at the github to 
see who was committing changes.

The other failing unit test is in the 'cloud-agent'.  Here, I have enough 
knowledge to figure out the problem, or at least narrow down the cause.

WRT to blocking, these tests aren't something that I rely on.  However, as a 
good citizen, I've a duty to publish some sort of work around.

Hyper-V unit tests make use of sample disk images (4meg and 260K)

Rather than put the sample disk images in git, do we have a webserver we can 
locate them at?

RE: Jira Issue for Unit Test Fail? (ApiRateLimitTest)

Looks like an edge case.

The test takes 0 seconds as measured by System.currentTimeMillis(), because the 
server is fast and Windows has limited accuracy.  See 
https://blogs.oracle.com/dholmes/entry/inside_the_hotspot_vm_clocks

I'll added a 10ms sleep to the test.

WRT to Hyper-V Plugin,

The public repo at https://github.com/lafferty/cshv3.git contains Phase 1 
source that passes unit tests a basic integration test involving template and 
VM creation.  The repo was synced to Master yesterday.

So, I need to prepare a review and merge request.

Other items:

-Test and document ability to deploy from scratch.
-Remove Hyper-V systemVM entry in existing deployments.  Is this an db upgrade 
step?
-Fill in the QA test plan.

 Hi folks!
 
 Weekly schedule reminder.  We are approaching feature freeze on the
 31st, after which I'll cut a release branch that we can work on stabilizing.
 
 A couple of notes...
 
 First - PLEASE help clear out review board.  From what I can tell, we need to
 get everything in before Javelin merges into master (or we have to expect
 that it will require re-working the patches).
 
 Second - The IP clearance process has started for all of the Citrix developed
 features.  Assuming that there are no complaints or issues (which I'm hopeful
 about), the 72 hour window for agreement at the IPMC level will start closing
 for the features tomorrow.  We'll need to move fast to get the code into
 master as these IP clearance threads close out.

RE: [DISCUSS] HyperV feature (WAS: Re: [ACS41] Weekly schedule reminder...)

[Donal Lafferty]

AFAIK, the plugin does not need Windows to compile.  Dependencies not captured 
by Java are encapsulated in Python scripts that are not checked by the build.

Instead, the unit tests are skipped by default.  These tests rely on Hyper-V 
2012, which is not on either Linux or Windows by default.

Did you want Hyper-V to be a default off build option?  It does not seem like 
there is a need, but I can do that.

To make the plug-in more useful, the VHDX image type was added to the set of 
formats accepted by cloud-api.  The agent has to be deployed on the Hyper-V 
server along with Java, Python, and some support Python modules.

Install steps and list of available options (network / secondary storage) needs 
to be captured somewhere.  I was going to follow the Windows Development 
environment example, but I'm open to suggestions.

Finally, should I try to merge sooner rather than later?  I'd like to up the 
unit tests, but I'm conscious that there's not much time left.

I'm not comfortable with the instructions going into the user guide.  

Setup and deployment will be heavy touch.  A developer's page has an implicit 
warning and the ability to evolve through contribution.

I'll get cracking on a patch.  Better to be on the release train half-dressed 
than waiting four months for the next departure.

  Description

  First cut of HyperV plugin, cloud-api changes to support VHDX image
  type, and test changes to deal with Windows clock accuracy and URI
 semantics.
  Large size due to inclusion of a disk image used for some of the unit
 testing.
  Not all unit test dependencies in place.  I'd rather download image
  files from a source than add them to the repo, but haven't found a link for
 this yet.
 
 
  This addresses bug CLOUDSTACK-999.

Upload Diff to Review Board fails on 'file not found in the repository'

[Donal Lafferty]

Has anyone seen the complaint 'The file file (revision revision) was not 
found in the repository' ?

E.g. I get 'The file agent/src/com/cloud/agent/resource/HypervResource.java 
(revision 8b8e89d) was not found in the repository' when uploading a diff file 
created with git format-patch.

However, that file is part of my diff, and was never in the cloudstack-git 
referenced by my patch.



The background is that I created a patch for the master branch.  E.g.

$ git remote -v
hyperv  https://github.com/lafferty/cshv3.git (fetch)
hyperv  https://github.com/lafferty/cshv3.git (push)
origin  https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git (fetch)
origin  https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git (push)

$ git format-patch origin/master --stdout  ../hyperV-plugin_06.patch

The patch itself describes the creation of the file, an applies index 8b8e89d, 
as show below.

RE: Jira Issue for Unit Test Fail? (ApiRateLimitTest)

[Donal Lafferty]

Hi Min,

That's one solution.  Another is to add a sleep.  It all depends on what you're 
trying to test.

There an issue with another test where the sleep is set to 1001.  IIRC, I 
changed that to 1020 or thereabouts.

These are in the patch that I've been trying to commit.

 Hi Donal, thanks for pointing to that link, was not aware of this on Windows.
 
 A simple fix is to change last line of the test as
 
 assertTrue(expiredAfter is incorrect, response.getExpireAfter() =
 1000);
 
 Is it possible for you to quickly verify on your setup to see if it works?
 
 Thanks

RE: Upload Diff to Review Board fails on 'file not found in the repository'

[Donal Lafferty]

All these responses are correct.  For a multi-commit patch, create  via 
'post-review' and not the ReviewBoard GUI.

The problem is with adding a diff file that aggregates a bunch of patches.  In 
my case, I've ~97 commits.  Our old workflow suggests generating the patch with 
'git format-patch -s master', but that gives you 97 different patches to review 
(see 
http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/dev/Git+workflow+in+the+brave+new+world).  
Apache suggests dumping the patches into a single file with 'git format-patch 
master --stdout  ~/patch-name.patch' (see 
http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/develop/non-contributors.html)  As 
Likitha and Min point out, this causes problems when one patch is dependent on 
another.

To avoid these issues, submit the commits as a single patch via RBTool's 
'post-review'.  See 
http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/users/tools/post-review/ for install 
instructions.  After installing, verify that your local git repo's 
origin/master is tracking Apache CloudStack's master.  E.g.

$ git remote -v
hyperv  https://github.com/lafferty/cshv3.git (fetch)
hyperv  https://github.com/lafferty/cshv3.git (push)
origin  
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git (fetch)
origin  
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git (push)

Also, set the target Review Board.  E.g. to set for a repo, use the following 
command in the repo's root folder.

git config reviewboard.url https://reviews.apache.org

From the root the your local repo, simply call 'post-review'.  It will gross 
up the changes between HEAD in the local repo and origin/master, create a 
review, and return the URL.  You then flesh out the comments/summary/group 
using a browser.

Enjoy!

 I forgot to add, it is an issue only when a patch is dependent on 2 or more
 your previous patches (that have been not been merged yet). Because if it is
 just two commits we mark the first one as the parent diff while uploading the
 second one.

 Has anyone seen the complaint 'The file file (revision revision)

Redistributing 3rd party code licensed under Apache License 2.0

[Donal Lafferty]

I have a specific question on incorporating existing code under Apache License 
2.0 that I forgot to ask earlier in the month.

My Hyper-V plugin calls down to modified versions of the OpenStack Nova driver 
for Hyper-V.

In my repo, I've:

1.   Retained the original copyright notice.

2.   Added an additional copyright notice mentioning the creator of the 
derivate work, which in this case is Citrix.

3.   Verified that OpenStack Nova's LICENSE is Apache License V2.0

Are these steps sufficient to add the code to Apache CloudStack?

E.g. does Apache Version 2.0 require that the original project be mentioned in 
our NOTICE file?

  Donal,
  
  I need some details to review your change, which i could not find from the 
  FS. 
  
  How is Hyper-V host discovery is supposed to happen? Do you expect agent to 
  be started on the Hyper-V host by admin or agent is started by CloudStack?
  
  How does the bootstrapping happen to copy templates from secondary to 
  primary? Do you assume a secondary storage? 
  
  For phase 1, you plan to support only local storage as primary storage?
  
  Is there a notion of Hyper-V cluster or all of them are going to be 
  individual hosts?
  
  
  couple of comments and more questions?
  
 

The Hyper-V connected agent and Discoverer base the hosts GUID on the IP 
address used to manager the Hyper-V server.  When you add a Hyper-V server 
using the GUI, what should happen is that 'find' will look up the host by GUID 
and update the zone/pod/cluster identifiers to valid values.

Templates are copied to a Hyper-V server via the image motion service.  The 
default image motion service driver uses a PrimaryStorageDownloadCommand to 
send URLs to the agent, which it then downloads.  Two types of schema are 
supported:  nfs:// and http://.  HTTP URIs are downloaded.  NFS schemas are 
accessed via a mount.  The admin is responsible for mounting the NFS server on 
the Hyper-V server.  Where the Hyper-V server does not have an NFS client, I 
recommend mounting a Windows Server 2012 share exposed as NFS and SMB.  The 
admin must tell the agent on Hyper-V the name of this share using an option in 
the agent.properties file.

For Phase 1, the primary storage is local storage, and the name of the folder 
is given in agent.properties.  The admin can manually mount iSCSI, SMB, etc.

The cluster group is imposed by the management server.  The Hyper-V servers 
have no knowledge of who they're grouped with.

  Why is dummy resource required in Hyper-V case? I think KVM code is no 
  longer using it.

KVM continues to use a Dummy resource.  AFAIK, the management server needs a 
reference to a plugin's ServerResource.  The dummy is a proxy for this resource 
when the resource sits on a remote server.

  Why is cluster, pod etc details are required to be in agent.properties

This is inherited from the KVM approach.  The defaults are required to populate 
these values if the agent is not passed them in the agent command line 
parameters.  

With Hyper-V, we can't pass the options, so I've left them in the 
agent.properties to avoid making the command line launch complex.

find() can't launch the agent.  That has to be done by an admin.  What find 
should do is change the dc/pod/cluster values from the defaults given by the 
agent to the values that the 'find' method wants.

RE: Redistributing 3rd party code licensed under Apache License 2.0

The code isn't entirely third party.

The source I incorporated is clearly derived from Cloud.com (now Citrix's) 
Hyper-V driver.  As soon as it was moved to a different file, the Cloud.com 
copyright was deleted.  However, the code I use is a copy/paste job from the 
original driver.

Rather than use the current driver, I could use the driver from Diablo, which 
is wholly copyright of Cloud.com (now Citrix)

Would Citrix want the Hyper-V driver it bought with Cloud.com?  

Is there a NOTICE-based means of including Apache Licence 2.0 code in the

Should I put the driver in the 'extras' folder?

I'm not sure what procedures are available.

Calling WMI from Python is a short term solution to allow for proof of concept.

In the immediate term, the Python code in the repo can be changed out for a 
derivative of Cloud.com's work.  This would allow the owners of Cloud.com's IP 
to donate the code assuming the owners are Citrix and able to release the IP.

Chiradeep, you might know better what position the Cloud.com contributions to 
OpenStack are in.  I'm thinking of the OpenStack Hyper-V driver in the Diablo 
branch

For next release, the WMI calls are to be carried out directly from Java.  
Microsoft have suggested a Java stack for access to WMI via WS-Man.

RE: Redistributing 3rd party code licensed under Apache License 2.0

[Donal Lafferty]

To be clear, the 3rd party dependency is now limited to code written by 
Cloud.com, now owned by Citrix Systems.

The background is that in 2010, Chiradeep wrote hyperv.py for the Diablo 
release of OpenStack.  The source is clearly copyrighted Cloud.com (see 
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/diablo/nova/virt/hyperv.py).  The 
contributors license doesn't assign the copyright (see 
https://rackspace.echosign.com/public/hostedForm?formid=XFNNZV3W23XE7N), rather 
it provides a perpetual license.  The code in this file was updated to remove 
dependencies on OpenStack and allow it to understand CloudStack commands, so it 
cannot be reused unmodified.

Since the code is going away after this release, a rewrite would have a very 
short lifetime.

Citrix has already donated a chunk of cloud.com IP to Apache CloudStack.  Can I 
not use the process for this file?

   OK - the thread on legal-discuss@a.o seems to have wound down.  For
   those interested, you can read it at [1].
  
   The tl;dr version is:
  
   This isn't a legal problem, but it's a community issue.  We have the
   legal right to use that code, based on it's stated license.  We do
   NOT have the right to change the copyright headers, only to add our

RE: Redistributing 3rd party code licensed under Apache License 2.0

[Donal Lafferty]

Okay, so the context for adding the phase 1 Hyper-V plugin to the actual 
release was to smooth the way for newbies.  Adding features to the community 
code can be tricky for non-committers.  Recall that last week I posted details 
on how to submit a multi-commit patch for review :)

With that in mind, here are the latest issues:

1.  The IP concerns were a bit of a surprise, because IP expectations are not 
covered in the Design Doc template.  Would anyone object if I updated 
https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/design-document-template.html with a 
heading on 'IP Clearance' and a summary of Chip's comments (with references to 
orginal mailing list discussions)?

2.  The Hyper-V patch includes fixes to cores CloudStack.  Is the submission 
process for these fixes a) raise a defect, b) submit patch?

3.  Feedback on the submission isn't captured in the Review Board submissions.  
Any objections to adding the points that David Nalley raises to the Review 
Board entry, and closing it?

4.  Finally, where is the best place for 3rd party plugins?  This point was 
raised in relation to the API client for C#.  Any preferences for leaving 3rd 
party material stay in the developer's repo, or the 'extras' repo?

 So again, there is nothing legally wrong with it, but as Chip identified there
 are community issues - and a number of people, including Chiradeep (who,
 as you note, is the original author of the code you want to use) want to see
 this be a fresh implementation.
 We're already looking at 4.2 for this feature, and this is supposedly going to
 have a short lifetime as a rewrite seems to be in your plans anyway, so I am
 not sure of the efficacy of jumping through the process hoops in the short
 term. (And while it's legally fine, there's still plenty of effort in the 
 process -
 esp since the code you've identified is held by someone who is friendly to us
 and the preference in the ASF is for voluntary contributions, we'd likely
 'prefer' to get a SGA for the code in question from Citrix - but as Prasanna
 and Ram G can tell you - even simple things like that can linger on for months
 to get the agreements signed)

Participating in Hyper-V support [Was RE: Redistributing 3rd party code licensed under Apache License 2.0]

[Donal Lafferty]

Hi Alessandro,

With respect to CloudStack Hyper-V support, have a look at the design doc at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/original-feature-spec.html .  The design 
seeks to avoid installing an agent on the Hyper-V server, which differs 
OpenStack's approach.

With respect to source code donations, is it feasible to remove the Cloud.Com 
sections of the OpenStack driver?

 Unfortunately due to our commitment on OpenStack, we didn't manage to

The script was changed to be wholly based on Cloud.Com (now Citrix Systems) 
code.

However, the feeling from the mailing groups source code should be wholly 
Apache.  Therefore, 3rd party libraries can be referenced, butsource code 
should be donated.  Since the script is not needed long term, it does not make 
sense to go through the process required for a donation.

A second issue is that the design is to immature.  To get a POC in place, a 
remote agent based on KVM's design and using an OpenStack style script was 
used.  Long term, a remote access method on WS-Management would be much 
preferred.  The feeling on the mailing list is that the POC should not be 
included.

RE: Note for plugin authors

[Donal Lafferty]

Thanks for the heads up!  A few questions...

'getCommand()'  or 'getCommands()' ?  I see it written both ways below.  Is one 
for the pluggable service and the other for the ApiServer?

Also, does this apply to Hypervisor plugins?  Or are Hypervisor plugins merely 
an implementation of said the 'pluggable service'?

 Hi, just wanted to inform you that all plugins which are pluggable services 
 and
 expose some API, should implement getCommand() which returns a list of
 api cmd class. This is used by ApiServer and elsewhere to get information
 about available apis.
 While I had tried to fix this for most plugins, I wanted to bring this issue 
 after
 recent merges. The issue is filed in detail here, and we need to fix mgmt
 server's getCommands() as well;

QA Process Question

[Donal Lafferty]

How would a git patch equivalent work for JIRA?

Take the example of a plugin developed independently that will be donated to 
the project.  It is very handy to merge QA records that deal with known 
problems and recommendations for future changes.  How would you track these in 
such a way that they can be easily merged with CloudStack's JIRA?


DL

RE: QA Process Question

[Donal Lafferty]

Maybe it help to take the example of the Javelin refactor and ask where did 
it's QA issues get tracked before the code was merged to master?

DL

 Also, this raises a bit of a concern in my mind.  We really don't want lots of
 development outside the project, than then gets donated.  Can you be
 more specific about what you are talking about here?
