Wrapping my mind around networking...

2015-05-28 Thread Alex McWhirter
I'm working on a private cloud using cloudstack and im stuck on which 
networking topology i should chose. Our network is segregated by VLANS 
and each department has it's own VLAN. I want to add each department 
into CloudStack as a project and then add users into each project. Each 
project should have it's own VLAN.


So the KVM hosts have two physical NIC's. One dedicated purely for NFS 
and the other for the rest of the networking.


eth0 - General networking, VLAN trunk enabled

eth1 - NFS, no VLAN trunking enabled.

In the Basic mode i should be able to setup a single physical network 
with management labeled to eth0, storage labeled to eth1, and guest 
labeled to br0 (which is attached to eth0).


But in this scenario how can i tell each project to tag it's guests 
traffic to a different VLAN?


Advanced mode seems way to complex for what i want to do. I don't need a 
public network. We have a hardware gateway for that. I don’t need any 
virtual routers or anything like that as well. I just need a guest to 
boot tagged to a specific VLAN and the gateway should handle the DHCP 
and routing.

Basic network doesn't support multiple isolated networks (AFAIK).

You would probably want to check out shared networks in advanced mode,
that'll let you use your hardware router etc.
I think you still need to provide a small public range for system vms and
such, but your tenants won't have to use that, they can rely on shared
networks.

Do i have the wrong idea on what the public network is? Im taking public 
as in actual public IP space on the internet?


Or is it something different like the network the management server uses 
to talk to the KVM hosts?



Essentially how it's setup now it

VLAN 2 - Management Server, KVM Hosts, and MySQL
VLAN 3 - NFS Servers and Clients

VLAN 16 through 128 - Each Departments VLAN

The hardware gateway sits on all of these VLAN's and provides DHCP and 
internet routing.

So in other words, the public network can be any network that has 
internet access? I doesn't necessarily have to provide public ip 
adddress, but at least IP addresses that are routable to the internet?

Just to clarify why there is a distinct public network - not all
companies/organizations/whatever allow internet access from (all) their
networks.
This way we're able to ensure that those VMs who needs it, usually system
vms and routers, have internet access, while things like management and
storage networks doesn't require that access.

Correct. Public netowrk,is the one attached to VR, SSVM, CPVM (public NIC
inside these system VMs)

Yes.

Your cloudstack users should probably have access to those IP addresses.

Note that if you plan on using regular isolated networks (ie. not shared
networks), they will use one or more IP addresses from the public pool, and
should be available to the end users.

Change Cluster pool master

2015-05-28 Thread Mārtiņš Jakubovičs

Hello,

I want just to be sure.
Is it safe change running cluster's XenServer's pool master (xe 
pool-designate-new-master host-uuid=uuid)?
In XenServer pool without CloudStack it works great and without issues, 
but how about with CloudStack?


Re: Change Cluster pool master

2015-05-28 Thread Jan-Arve Nygård
Hi,

What versions are you running? There's been some changes regarding electing
of master in newer versions to rely on XenServer HA instead of CloudStack
electing a new master so you might take a look at this good article from
Remi:
http://blog.remibergsma.com/2015/05/23/making-xenserver-and-cloudstack-sing-and-dance-together-again/

Shouldn't be a problem if you're running one of those CloudStack versions.
At least I haven't experienced any problems doing this previously.

system VMs on local storage

What about System VMs? Is it okay to change system.vm.use.local.storage to

Is it wise to put System VMs on local storage?

Hi,

The commit was added to the 4.3 branch on Dec 3, 2014:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cloudstack.git;h=305d8ae

CloudStack 4.3.2 was released in January 2015, so I would say it was
included.
https://blogs.apache.org/cloudstack/entry/announce_announcing_apache_cloudstack_4

Since XenServer itself is handling HA on the pool, I'd say you can safely
run 'xe pool-designate-new-master' to elect a new master.  CloudStack will
pick this up automatically.

Regards,
Remi

 Subject: Change Cluster pool master

 Hello,

 I want just to be sure.
 Is it safe change running cluster's XenServer's pool master (xe
 pool-designate-new-master host-uuid=uuid)?
 In XenServer pool without CloudStack it works great and without issues,
 but how about with CloudStack?

1-To recreate router vm you need to stop-start any existing vm  or deploy
a new vm .
2-In case if you are changing storage(shared to local or local to share)
you need to destroy existing router vm and follow step 1.

 I enabled local storage for the zone, but I am still unable to see the new
 local storage as primary storage. Is there some kind of cron which needs to
 run before I see this storage on infrastructure tab in CS UI? Does the
 local storage needs to use a specific name or can I use a random name as
 name-label inside XenServer?

Re: AW: system VMs on local storage

Why not :) just dont modify global variable to create system VMs on local,
and create appropraite compute offerings with Local storage type (and disk
offerings Local storage type)
SSVM/CPVM afaik, dont do any heavy writing.

Export another NFS path for shared Primary Storage...

 1-To recreate router vm you need to stop-start any existing vm  or deploy
 a new vm .
 2-In case if you are changing storage(shared to local or local to share)
 you need to destroy existing router vm and follow step 1.

 SSVM and CPVM will be started simultaneously.
 But virtual routers won't get created automatically.

  so the only downside is that it will take some time until CS
 created all SystemVMs after a host crash? Will CS create SystemVMs one

  Yes , if your zone is in enabled state and system vm went down , CS
 will try to bring them up on shared/local storage depend on current
 system.vm.use.local.storage settings .

  Hi,
 
  I honestly would not put the System VM's on local Storage on a
  Production environment, if you have a Xenserver failure the System
  VM's will go down, You will need to recreate them causing downtime.

  Subject: system VMs on local storage
 
  Hi,
 
  we are thinking about to use only local storage in our CS installation.
  We are using XenServer 6.2 SP1 as hypervisor.
  What about System VMs? Is it okay to change
 system.vm.use.local.storage
  to true and then migrate all System VMs and Router VMs to local
 storage?
  Is it wise to put System VMs on local storage?
 
  Thank for sharing your experience!

Hi,

I installed new disks in some of our XenServer hosts and added the raid to the 
XenServer-host. Now I need to add this new storage to CS.
I enabled local storage for the zone, but I am still unable to see the new 
local storage as primary storage. Is there some kind of cron which needs to run 
before I see this storage on infrastructure tab in CS UI? Does the local 
storage needs to use a specific name or can I use a random name as name-label 
inside XenServer?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards,

Do a host reconnect or management server restart. They will automatically
be show under primary storage.

AW: enable local storage

2015-05-28 Thread S . Brüseke - proIO GmbH
Is it possible to attach only specific local storage to CS? We using raid1 for 
XenServer installation and during installation xs created local storage of the 
rest of this raid1. We installed a new raid5 with ssd and named it localSSD. 
This is the local storage with I want CS installing instances on.

Betreff: Re: enable local storage

After enabling local storage for zone, MS restart is required for local storage 
to be discovered for already added hosts. For new hosts it gets added at the 
time of adding host.
