Re: Good backup solutions for Cloudstack

[Asai]

Thanks for that.  How about backing up Secondary Storage and the 
Cloudstack installation in general?

advanced zone, shared network, VR sometimes looses default gateway definition

[Stephan Seitz]

Hi,

I wonder if someone else faced this issue. We're running acs 4.9.0 w/
advanced zone.
Sometimes, the VR (dnsmasq) looses it's gateway (dhcp option 3) and
subsequently offers itself as the default gateway.

VR's /etc/dnsmasq.conf shows
dhcp-option=option:router,REDACTED_AND_CORRECT_GATEWAY

this setting doesn't seem to have any effect.

VR's /etc/dnsmasq.d/cloud.conf shows
dhcp-option=tag:interface-eth0-0,3,0.0.0.0

After changing 0.0.0.0 to the configured gateway and restarting dnsmasq
inside the VR everythings "fixed".

I'm quite unsure why and when this setting is getting lost. I also find
it really hard to debug the dnsmasq due to different inkonsistent
configurations.

its running via

/usr/sbin/dnsmasq -x /var/run/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.pid -u dnsmasq -7
/etc/dnsmasq.d,.dpkg-dist,.dpkg-old,.dpkg-new

which is (for my opinion) a pretty nasty parameter.

Could someone please shed some light?

Thanks!

- Stephan

Server Consolidation Algorithm Proposal

[Ólafur St . Arnarsson]

When watching
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJKdZcSpGNQ
Rajesh Battala proposes a server consolidation algorithm. He says

This algorithm will inherit some properties from Secron Algorithm and
consider the following properties to select the hosts for consolidation

Schedule VM tasks (like Snapshots, lease time etc)
Zone Wide Storage availability
Storage Migration availability

Hence, this algorithm behaves differently from the ones related

The slides
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/AutomaticWL_Mgmt_Denver_v1.pdf
do not have this proposal.

I like those ideas and I was wondering what happened to that proposal?
