Hi Andrea, Sounds good to me. Still no luck running vms? Be advised that your management interface in XS should be on "MGMT" network and reachable from management server (I'm sure you checked thrice, just to be sure). thx On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 12:24 AM, Andrea Ottonello <aottone...@gmail.com<mailto:aottone...@gmail.com> wrote: Hallo. On the host I have 2 ethernet NICs and 2 HBAs. In XenCenter I see them as "network 0" and "network 1". In XenCenter I renamed "network 0" as "MGMT" and disabled the flag to automatically assign it to VMs, and "network 1" to "VNET", because I want it to be dedicated to VMs. Then, when creating Physical Network, I gave it name VNET (globally) and assigned to blue icon (internal management traffic) the MGMT label, and to green icon (VMs traffic) VNET label. I didn't include red icon (storage) because it should be via HBAs. Are these settings wrong? I set primary storage as "PreSetup" and gave same SR-label used in XenCenter to identify it. Is it ok? 2013/1/2 Paul Angus <paul.an...@shapeblue.com<mailto:paul.an...@shapeblue.com>> Hi Andrea, It sounds like you need to label your network interfaces in on the XenServer host and in CloudStack. Its hard to read the early parts of the emails to see how many interfaces you've got on your host. But if you have just the one then rename it something with no spaces like 'if-cloud' its easiest to do it with XenCenter. Then you go to the GUI; Infrastructure > YOUR_ZONE > Physical Network. Go to each of the physical networks you have and set the 'XenServer Traffic Label' for the management, storage, public and guest networks to 'if-cloud' Then add the host. I have seen some hosts fail to add if the storage network isn't explicitly defined as a network too. If you can include a link to your management server log it would help.

Hallo all and happy new year! Today I tried again: management vm fresh, xenserver fresh and updated (but still 6.0.2) with local storage, I closed wizard and before adding zone etc. I configured option for system VMs on local storage. Then added zone, pod, cluster, node... when adding node, some strange errors regarding agent disconnected. From XenCenter I see that local storage has changed name with "cloud stack bla bla bla" in description, but in management UI I don't see any primary storage configured. Ok, enough. New year, new life. If a product takes almost a month for simply setup a trial and even now not works, maybe is time to try something different. Maybe I'm unlucky and/or not capable of doing things, or maybe CloudStack and guides are not so "turnkey" as they claim to be. I don't know what else to do, just give up. 2013/1/2 Marc Cirauqui <mcirau...@gmail.com<mailto:mcirau...@gmail.com>> Hi Andrea, any news? thx On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 1:58 PM, Vijay Venkatachalam < vijay.venkatacha...@citrix.com<mailto:vijay.venkatacha...@citrix.com>> wrote: Remember the first step is to see if these steps are applicable to you.

Hallo Sebastien, thank you for your help. I will try to put management log on the site you provided. I started using 4.0 version, tried 3.0 only searching for a solution. Let's answer something: 1- yes management server is running 2- yes I defined zone, pod, cluster and host. 3- primary and secondary are defined and available. 4- I can mount NFS secondary storage and create file inside it from host, primary is locally available to host (HBA) and I can create a VM on it using XenCenter, so is online and working. I also tried using NFS share for primary, or even localstorage (enabling global config varable to use it for VMs). 5- zone is enabled. 6- VMs are NOT running. v-2-VM is in starting/stopped state loop, while if I enable zone CS tries to create s-XX-VM, it fails, it deletes it and try again creating a new one, increasing XX number of 1, in an infinite loop. This is definitely my problem. If I look at management log, it says that my only available host is in avoid set, so CS doesn't know where to put VM and fails. I don't know WHY my host is in "avoid set": it has 22 GB of RAM, 200 GB of primary storage and 2 CPU quadcore. It is a fresh install, formatted and only putted into a new pool as for installation instructions. I used same name for network interfaces and primary storage. There must be something wrong/missing in Xen/XCP setup, but I'm not able to understand what. Is terribly frustrating... 2012/12/27 sebgoa <run...@gmail.com<mailto:run...@gmail.com>> Dear Andrea, Very sorry things are not working out of the box for you. If you can share your management server logs on the list, maybe we can help better. Use http://pastie.org/ for example, to avoid your logs being stripped out of the email. Since it's the holiday season, lots of folks are taking a break and there are very few people able to help out. You should use the 4.0 release which is the first official Apache release, documented at http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/downloads .htm l Couple questions to understand where you are in the setup currently: 1-Is the management server running ? 2-Have you defined the zone/pod/cluster/host ? 3-Are primary and secondary storage defined and available ? 4-Can you access primary and secondary storage from your xen host ? 5-Is the zone enabled ? 6-Are the system VMs running ?

I tried to analyze log for myself: found something wrong about storage, so I disabled multipath, configured zoning on fabric switches to permit only one path and tried for XXXth time to setup all again from scratch. No luck again. Starting to believe is a lot of crap and nothing else. I also tried installing CS 3.0.2 as "stable" version, NO LUCK AGAIN. Tried using CentOS instead of Ubuntu, Nothing again. Ok, I will take my LAST try using another physical server with no SAN attached and using local storage as primary. If even this try will not be ok, I'll give up. Wasted almost 3 weeks for obtaining... nothing. Ok, that is a open source product, but I cannot believe it to be SO INCREDIBLY IMPOSSIBLE to have neither a trial setup up and running. If anyone believe I'm simply not able to setup, I'm here: have a PowerEdge 1950 DELL connected with a Brocade 200E to a EMC CX300. I have another server for installing VMs for management, mysql, secondary storage and so on. I want to use XCP/Xen as hypervisor, using a primary storage on my SAN connected through HBAs.

Example. In Xencenter, networking tab, you see "Network 0" and "Network 1" (don't remember exact names). Rename them to be "cloud- private" and "cloud-public" (for example). Then in the fancy icons in setup wizard (or equivalent in infrastructure tab) put those tags in private and public network. That way CS maps vm's interfaces to the right physical interfaces in XS...
