upgrade 4.15 to 4.16 failed

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi,
we compiled ACS 4.16.2 with nonoss plugins and installed the
cloudstack-common, cloudstack-management, cloudsta-usage RPMs on a ACS4.15
server.
Upgrade finished without errors but after we start the
cloudstack-management service I saw this log in the management-server.log:

VR network mismatch

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
we're experiencing a very strange issue and I need your help...
We created some VPC but in one of them (we already tried to recreate it...
) after some time ACS restart the VR.
After the restart the network mismatch the original configuration so the
instances connected to it are unable to do traffic.
The solution is to manually restart VR from ACS but after some hours it
reboots again and network mismatch again...
The strange behavior is that this issue happen only on one VPC but I don't
know where to start to investigate this problem.
Our ACS version is 4.15.1 over vSphere 6.7

thank you

Add vsphere host

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi,
in past we've had a XenServer cluster in Cloudstack and adding a node was
quite simple.
Now we're managing a 2 node vSphere cluster and we need to add an
additional host to this cluster.
In the documentation I see:

Adding a Host (vSphere)


For vSphere servers, we recommend creating the cluster of hosts in vCenter
and then adding the entire cluster to CloudStack. See Add Cluster: vSphere.


So what?

Someone can explain me how to add an host to vsphere/cloudstack cluster?


Thank you

Re: Issue with live migrations

[Alessandro Caviglione]

No, but if you're using Advanced Networking you've to manage the trunk
configuration on the switch ports.
Every Virtual Router has a public IP on a specific interface and a specific
VLAN and a private IP on another interface in another vlan that acts as a
gateway for the instance.
So, if VR and instance are in the same host, packets do not exit from host
and instance are reachable, but if they run on different hosts the packets
must go through a switch that should be configured to allow traffic on that
private VLAN.
So, in fact, you can allow a single switch port to forward traffic on
multiple VLAN, this is called Trunk.

Re: Issue with live migrations

[Alessandro Caviglione]

I think that your switch doesn't have ports tagged with all required
VLANs...

Primate gui on other server

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I tried Primate GUI since one of the firsts release and I remember that
I've installed it on another server made it point to my management server
by changing a config file.
Now I see that old github repo is bo more available and the new UI has been
integrated in new ACS release.
But my question is this: can I still install it separately and connect to
my ACS 4.13?
Where I can find the new repo?

Thank you

Re: Fail to add KVM Host

[Alessandro Caviglione]

OMG guys... I think you've to specify this requirement in documentation!!
This row point me in the right direction:

failing to get physical interface from bridge cloudbr1, did not find an
eth*, bond*, team*, vlan*, em*, p*p*, ens*, eno*, enp*, or enx* in
/sys/devices/virtual/net/cloudbr1/brif

So the script looks for a bond that starts with:  eth*, bond*, team*,
vlan*, em*, p*p*, ens*, eno*, enp*, or enx*
I've created a bond named cbdr_bond1 so it was not reachable!!

Thank you for your help and your suggestions!

Hi Nicolas,
same link for the new logs in folder "LOG2":
https://box.beitsa.ch/index.php/s/ZmGMWbQgmMkbzoK

Strange thing is that I see in agent.log these lines:

2021-05-13 18:53:08,587 DEBUG [kvm.resource.LibvirtComputingResource]

Should I install older version of libvirt/qemu or there's another problem?

Re: Fail to add KVM Host

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi,
yes I saw... but this is a centos 7.9 installed from scratch.
I've installed with: yum install qemu-kvm libvirt libvirt-python
libguestfs-tools virt-install

libvirt is 4.5.0
qemu-kvm is 1.5.3
cloudstack-agent is 4.13

I've also tried with qemu-kvm-ev 2.12 but nothing changes...

Re: Fail to add KVM Host

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Just a quick news... Now I see the host in hosts list, but it's in alert
state.
In log I see:
2021-05-12 22:40:54,061 DEBUG [c.c.a.m.ClusteredAgentManagerImpl]
(AgentConnectTaskPool-417:ctx-36dd291a) (logid:7320b6af) Notifying other

(AgentConnectTaskPool-417:ctx-36dd291a) (logid:7320b6af) Failed to handle
host connection:
com.cloud.exception.ConnectionException: Incorrect Network setup on agent,
Reinitialize agent after network names are setup, details : Can not find
network: cloudbr1

but I have cloudbr0 and cloudbr1 configured on host...
What can I do?

Fail to add KVM Host

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
a lot of troubles these days...
We've ACS 4.13 installed from source with one zone with a vcenter server
and advanced networking.
Now we need to add another zone to manage some KVM hosts but with basic
networking, we installed libvirt on a Centos7, configured cloudbr0 for
management and cloudbr1 for gest traffic, installed cloudstack-agent, made
all the configuration for tcp and tls, started the services and all it's ok.
So we created a new zone in ACS, with cluster and the above host, all works
fine but the host has not been added.
So I've tried again to add but after some seconds, the blinking row with
the new server disappear and in the log I can't see any error:

Yes, no problem to change the port from access to trunk, but I'm not sure
where I can create another interface with tagged VLAN on xenserver...

Re: Primary storage migration

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Thank you Alex,
iscsi subnet is present on same switch fabric so we can add it, but since
xenserver port are actually in ACCESS with specific VLAN, how can I add an
IP with a tagged VLAN on xenserver?

Primary storage migration

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I've a big doubt for next few weeks.
Actually we're running CS 4.13 and one of the cluster we're managing is
based on xenserver 7.2.
Today, primary storage is provided through NFS share in 192.168.200.x
subnet but we've want to migrate to another storage that provide iSCSI lun
on 10.0.0.x subnet.
This iscsi subnet is an isolated subnet so no routing is possible.
What you suggests to do?
Is it possible to add a couple of nics to xenserver for iscsi and manage it
on CS?

Thank you!

Instance network type on vSphere

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I'm using CS 4.13 on vSphere 6.5.
I see that there's a setting to change System VM Network type
(vmware.systemvm.nic.device.type) from E1000 to VMXNET3.
Is there a way to change Network Type to VMXNET3 also for VM instances that
is still deployed with E1000?

Thank you!

Re: Replace VR

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Yes, I thought about your idea, but I would not introduce too many hops...
in addition I cannot manage Public IPs directly from Barracuda VA.
Is there a kind of parameter I can configure to deploy all costumer's
instance on tha same VR's host?

Replace VR

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to understand if it's possible to replace a VR for a single
customer.
I've ACS 4.13 with vSphere 6.7 and Advanced Networking, one of my client
wants to use Barracuda Virtual Firewall because he wants to connect Cloud
network to offices networks using TINA VPN (proprietary protocol) instead
IPSec.
So, is it possible to replace VR with the Barracuda Virtual Appliance?

Thank you

Re: Secondary storage issue on CS 4.13

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hello Andija,
thank you very much for your effort and explanations :)
Actually we're in advanced zone but I saw in SSVM cloud.log that it's
trying to connect lo localhost:8250 so I understood that SSVM was trying to
connect to Management Server that, obviously, is not localhost.
It's still not clear for me how Management Server can push his hostname if
the SSVM is unable to connect to Management Server, but I changed some
settings in ACS (please, tell me which one is the right one), recreate SSVM
and CPVM and all works fine! :)

Thank you

Secondary storage issue on CS 4.13

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi,
I've just deployed a new CS 4.13 management server and I've configured the
zone for VMware in this way:

Management network vSwitch0 VLAN200  (SystemVM IPs 192.168.200.170-200)
Public Network vSwitch1 VLAN201(Some Public IPs)
Guest Network vSwith1 VLAN 400-500

I do not have configured Storage Network because I know that if it's not
configured, Management Network is used.
In fact, Secondary Storage is in the same network as Management Network and
it has IP: 192.168.200.20

I've correctly configured Secondary Storage to use NFS share over
192.168.200.20 storage.
Secondary Storage VM has been deployed and it's running, but I see that it
has 2 IPs, one on Management and one on Public Network.
As far as I know, it should have one additional IP for Link Local...
However, my issue is that when I try to add an ISO Template, nothing is
downloaded and in management-server log I see:
"There is no secondary storage VM for secondary storage host CS-SEC-VMW"

what it means?

Thank you!!

Re: Very BIG mess with networking

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi Andrija,
I want to say a big THANK YOU for your suggestions, I changed bond mode and
Network name on XenSerevr Pool and updated network name on CS... and it
works now!!
Thank you again!!
A big hug! :)

Re: Very BIG mess with networking

No, new bond have the same name...
In the log there is:

 Found more than one network with the name Public

So it seems that, however, it get the right Network and continue to looking
for other network.
Do you think this is the issue also if CS continue with other tasks instead
stops founding more than one network Public?
Could I simply change network name in Xen Pool and update in CS?

Very BIG mess with networking

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I'm experiencing a big issue with networking.
First of all, we're running CS 4.11.2 on XS 6.5 with Advanced Networking.
Our XS Pool network conf was:
- eth0 Management
- eth1 empty
- eth2 Public
- eth3 empty
- eth4 + eth5: bond LACP for GuestVM

During our last maintenance last week, we decided to create a new bond
active-passive for Management (eth0 + eth1) and a new bond for Public
(eth2 + eth3)
In addition, we would change GuestVM bond from LACP to active-active.
So, we created from pool master a new bond and put eth0 + eth1 interface in.

MGT_NET_UUID=$(xe network-create name-label=Management)
PMI_PIF_UUID=$(xe pif-list host-uuid=xxx management=true params=uuid | awk
'{ print $5 }')
MGT_PIF0_UUID=$(xe pif-list host-uuid=xxx device=eth0 params=uuid | awk '{
print $5 }')
MGT_PIF1_UUID=$(xe pif-list host-uuid=xxx device=eth1 params=uuid | awk '{
print $5 }')
xe bond-create network-uuid=$MGT_NET_UUID
pif-uuids=$PMI_PIF_UUID,$MGT_PIF1_UUID mode=active-backup

I used the same method to create new bond for Public network (obviously
changing nics).

To change bond mode for GuestVM network I've used:

xe pif-list device=bond0 VLAN=-1
xe pif-param-set uuid= other-config:bond-mode=balance-slb

I've repeated Public and GuestVM commands on each of the three hosts in the
pool, for Management I've done it only on Pool Master.
After that I've restarted toolstack and (after the issue I'll explain) also
reboot every host.
However, this is the result:
- Existing VMs runs fine and I can stop, start, migrate
- New VM that require new network will fail
- restart network with clean will fail and makes network and instance
unavailable

This is the CS log:

CS 4.12 logs

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I've just upgraded from CS 4.9 to 4.12 but I cannot see any "running" logs.
In 4.9 I remember logs was in catalina.log file, but now I can't see any
logging activities.
Is there any other file I've to check?

CS 4.12 and XS 6.5

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
we're going to upgrade CS 4.9 to 4.12.
Actually CS are managing some XenServer 6.5 but in Compatibility Matrix for
CS 4.12 I see that XS 6.5 is deprecated.
What it means?
Anyone knows if XS6.5 still works or it's possible that I'll lost the
management of those nodes?

Thank you!

Re: VR DHCP issue

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi,
on VR I do not have any /etc/dhcphosts.txt
/etc/cloudstack/dhcpentry.json  contains DHCP entry but  /var/log/cloud.log
stops at last VR startup... no DHCP entry... and I still have DHCP issue! :(

VR DHCP issue

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I'm experiencing an issue in our CS 4.9.
In fact, sonce a week ago, randomly some instances became unreachable.
After investigation we see that instances does not have IP address.
We tried to restart VR, restart instance, migrate both to another host, but
same issue.
So we configured the instance with a fixed ip address and it comes back
online.
We have had this issue on about 15 VR...
Any idea??

Migrate VR and SVM to other cluster

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
is there a way to migrate System VM and VR to another cluster?
I'm using XenServer with ACS4.9

I know that the only way is to put the cluster in maintenance mode but I
don't want to migrate existing instance, just VR and SVM.

Thank yuo

Storage migration and XS VHD issue

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
we need to move all the VM's disk from one storage to another.
Due to extremely slow performance of the source primary storage, migrate
VMs and DATA disks from cloudstack does not work because of timeout.
So, the alternative, is to move VHD files directly between the storage and
change Cloudstack DB... but I see that each VM has a lng VHD chain and
CS DB point to the last one.
So... first question is: WHY?
Second question is: how can I consolidate all these files in a single one?

Re: XenServer Licensing Change - Switch Hypervisors?

We too was evaluating ScaleIO on XS, now we move to KVM or Hyper-V but
always with ScaleIO, I don't understand your concern about ScaleIO on KVM.

Re: XenServer Licensing Change - Switch Hypervisors?

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi all,
I'm also trying to find a solution, our infrastructure is based on XS6.5
that will not patched on meltdown and spectre so we're considering to
create new cluster based on a different hypervisor instead of upgrade to
XS7.2.
In fact, I think that all here work for a company that has a MS SPLA
agreement in place, so my question is: since we're already paying MS
Datacenter license, what do you think about Hyper-V under Cloudstack?
I'm trying to compare it versus KVM...


Thank you.

Manually copy volume and update database

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I've a little issue.
We're decommissioning a XS6.2 cluster and the last instance is a big one,
with a DATA DISK of 1 TB.
Our cluster is connected by NFS and we're trying to migrate this instance
to a new XS6.5 cluster but every try, will fail.
I tried to shutdown the instance and move the disk with API: migrate volume
volumeid=8d5d0640-49cd-40e2-8318-f6732ce91094
storageid=c24cd510-10ff-3cf2-b490-76bc4028d81e

but after some hours I got:
Error
Async job 741bffa2-ef32-4f3d-b013-f66e0c1c4836 failed
Error 530, Resource [StoragePool:14] is unreachable: Migrate volume failed:
com.cloud.utils.exception.CloudRuntimeException: Failed to migrate volume
org.apache.cloudstack.storage.volume.VolumeObject@73f6327b to storage pool
org.apache.cloudstack.storage.datastore.PrimaryDataStoreImpl@286c64b7


Since the new cluster uses the same storage, I can just copy/past the VHD
directly on the storage and change the database data to let the instance
point to the new VHD just copied.
I've already tried to do this changing these tables:
volumes: pool_id, last_pool_id, folder,
vm_instance: last_host_id, power_host


But the instance does not start...

Any suggestion??

Thank you!!

Re: Unable to locate datastore

select v.* from cloud.snapshots s join
cloud.volumes v on v.id = s.volume_id
where
pool_id = 11

0 rows returned

Second query you wrote is the same :)

Re: Unable to locate datastore

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Maybe I tried to delete storage 11 but it still here with id 12!
Rafael query does not work, SELECT * FROM cloud.storage_pool_host_ref where
pool_id=11 returns no result.

Unable to locate datastore

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to delete a Primary datastore, but when I try to delete it I got
this error:

Unable to locate datastore with id 11

In the database, I see:

11 CH1-PRI-SATA-2 NetworkFilesystem 2049 1 1 2 171773001728 7672016928768
192.168.200.25 /volume2/CH1-PRI-SATA-2 2016-08-24 20:57:42 2016-08-29
12:26:26 Maintenance DefaultPrimary CLUSTER 0
12 CH1-PRI-SATA-2 d434-8c54-3efa-a90a-98a35fdfbdec NetworkFilesystem
2049 1 1 2 4085454602240 7672016928768 192.168.200.25
/volume2/CH1-PRI-SATA-2 2016-08-29 12:28:06 Up DefaultPrimary CLUSTER 0

In fact, 11 and 12 are the same primary storage but for a strange reason,
11 is in maintenance and does not have an ID

How can I solve?
Could I copy all the data from 12 to 11 and delete the primary storage I
want to delete?
Keep in mind that the storage I need to delete is another one, not
CH1-PRI-SATA-2

Thank you.

Cloudstack - XenServer - ScaleIO

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi all,
I'm doing a little PoC using Xenserver6.5 + ScaleIO and I'm quite happy
about performance.
Now, I'm thinking about how can be managed by CS.
In production, I'm using CS 4.5 with some XS6.5 and a NFS storage.
With ScaleIO, storage is presented as XenServer hosts as shared LVM volume
and it works fine.
Adding CS to my Lab, how can I use it as Primary storage?
I think I could use as local storage, but I loose all the live migration
features...
There is another way to use ScaleIO within CS environment?

Thank you.

Re: Virtual Router Monitoring/Patching

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi,
I'm replying because I'm already interested in this topic.
In fact, we'd like to monitor VR and collect logs with rsyslog.
So, is it possible to modify the template image to configure an rsyslog and
snmp to allow monitoring of all new deployed VR?

Thank you.

Re: Host allocation

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Yes but here I configure the cluster, not the host...
It should be a "memory.allocated.capacity.disablethreshold" setting for
every single host because
cluster.memory.allocated.capacity.disablethreshold
will disable the cluster allocation at 90% of the entire cluster, but I
could have some hosts filled (100%) and one at half (50%)...

Am I right?

Host allocation

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
just a question about host allocation.
My infrastructure is based on CS 4.5 and XS 6.5, host allocation is
"random" but I see that CS allocate hosts to completely fill the RAM.
I've some hosts with 148 GB RAM usable and 148 GB used, completely filled.
This obviously means that XS will swap to HD and instances performance is
reduced...
How can I tell to CS to allocate the hosts up to 90% its RAM?

Thank you!

Manual Volume Snapshot retention

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I've a Cloudmonkey script under cron that create a Volume Snapshot of a VPS
at certain hours.
I had to create this script because client wants to have more than one
Snapshotfor each day, so through GUI this is not possible.
Now, could someone help me to delete old Snapshot in the scripts?
I need to retain 21 Snapshots or delete Snap older than 7 days.

Thank you!!

XenServer bond question

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
pheraps I should post this question on Citrix forum but I think that here I
can find a more "practical" answer based on similar infrastructure. :)
I've a CS 4.6 with XS 6.2 clusters and here's my network config:

- Management + Storage: 2 NIC LACP
- Guest: 2 NIC LACP
- Public: 2 NIC LACP

All the "2 NIC" goes to a 2 stack switches with LACP configured.
Now, here (
http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/38321-102-714737/XenServer-6.5.0_Administrators%20Guide.pdf)
I see:

[...]Management interfaces

You can bond a management interface to another NIC so that the second NIC
provides failover for management traffic. Although configuring a LACP link
aggregation bond provides load balancing
for management traffic, active-active NIC bonding does not.[...]

Ok, great, this is exactly what I need to have.

My issue is: in all XS I see only one NIC to make traffic during Storage
Migration, I'm expecting that with LACP I see both NIC to make traffic, but
this does not happen.

Do you have any experience on this topic?
Since we're migrating to XS6.5 adding a new cluster and moving VM, do you
have a better NIC configuration to suggest?

Thank you very much!

Multiple daily snapshot

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
is there a way to schedule multiple daily snapshots for a Volume?
I'm using CS 4.5.2 with XS 6.2 SP1 and after creating first daily schedule,
it goes in gray and I can only schedule hourly, weekly and monthly.
I just want to schedule 2 snapshots: one at 1 PM and another at 6 PM.


Thank you.

Re: Storage decommissioning

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Ok guys... we're about to finish the migration of primary storage... but
I've a question.
Since we've moved all the Instance's volume (ROOT and DATA) through ACS
(4.5), should we consider anything about VMs metadata?
We're running XS 6.2 SP1.

Moving the volume will move also metadata?

Re: Storage decommissioning

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi,
thank you for your suggests... I'm going to move VMs ROOT and DATA to the
new storage using CS GUI.
Our environment is CS 4.5.2 with XenServer 6.2 SP1.
I think that the problem shoud arrive when we've to move secondary
storage but one step at time.
Just another question How can I move VR and SSVM??

Storage decommissioning

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I'm writing just to ask for advice...
We're decommissionig our storage and we need to move all the VMs from old
storage to this new one.
In CS we've defined a new primary storage and I think we've to migrate all
ROOT and DATA disks from old PRIMARY to the new PRIMARY, this should be
done without interruption of the service.
The new storage will host also SECONDARY storage, so we need to move also
Template, Snapshots and other things.
How can we do it?

Thank you!!

Snapshot VM with Volume Snapshot active

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
maybe I do not remember very well... but I thought I could do a VM snapshot
even if there are active volume snapshot.
Moreover, a volume snapshot is a copy of the volume that is archived, it
can not be revert but only turn it into a template or a new volume.
In fact, if I go to XenCenter, the VM has no active snapshot and if I want
I could take a snapshot of the VM from XenCenter!!
So why if I have a volume with an active snapshot, I can not make a VM
snapshot?
The recurring snapshots of the volumes is used by CS as a backup system,
but if it inhibits the ability to make VM snapshot then it is a big problem.

Re: R: A Story of a Failed XenServer Upgrade

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I think that there are a little bit of confusion around this topic
Pierre-Luc Dion posted an official documentation (
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-installation/en/4.6/hypervisor/xenserver.html#upgrading-xenserver-versions)
that differs in many steps from that published by Geoff Higginbottom of
Shapeblue and mentioned by Yiping Zhang... that is the same I've followed
for my failed upgrade.

In the Cloudstack document, the host do NOT GOES into Maintenance Mode and
I've to run the following scripts:
/opt/xensource/bin/cloud-clean-vlan.sh
/opt/xensource/bin/cloud-prepare-upgrade.sh

Since in the Cloudstack doc the host do not goes in MM, they says that I've
to migrate all the VMs manually: "Live migrate all VMs on this host to
other hosts. See the instructions for live migration in the Administrator’s
Guide."

Cloudstack doc says also that I've to copy the scripts from Pierre
mentioned:

/opt/xensource/sm/NFSSR.py
/opt/xensource/bin/setupxenserver.sh
/opt/xensource/bin/make_migratable.sh
/opt/xensource/bin/cloud-clean-vlan.sh

Point 6 and 7 are strange I've to upgrade the entire cluster and clear
the host tag BEFORE connect again to Cloudstack:
6)Repeat these steps to upgrade every host in the cluster to the same
version of XenServer.
7)Run the following command on one host in the XenServer cluster to clean
up the host tag...

Shapeblue says that I've to manage again the Cluster after the upgrade the
Pool Master and I can upgrade the other hosts later...

Another thing that is worring me is the script:
/opt/xensource/bin/cloud-clean-vlan.sh

So, what it does??
What means "clean-vlan"?? :o

Hi Yiping,
yes, thank you very much!!
Please share the doc so I can try again the upgrade process and see if it
was only a "unfortunate coincidence of events" or a wrong upgrade process.

Thanks!

Re: A Story of a Failed XenServer Upgrade

[Alessandro Caviglione]

No guys,as the article wrote, my first action was to put in Maintenance
Mode the Pool Master INSIDE CS; "It is vital that you upgrade the XenServer
Pool Master first before any of the Slaves.  To do so you need to empty the
Pool Master of all CloudStack VMs, and you do this by putting the Host into
Maintenance Mode within CloudStack to trigger a live migration of all VMs
to alternate Hosts"

This is exactly what I've done and after the XS upgrade, no hosts was able
to communicate with CS and also with the upgraded host.

Putting an host in Maint Mode within CS will trigger MM also on XenServer
host or just will move the VMs to other hosts?

And again what's the best practices to upgrade a XS cluster?

A Story of a Failed XenServer Upgrade

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I want to share my XenServer Upgrade adventure to understand if I did
domething wrong.
I upgraded CS from 4.4.4 to 4.5.2 without any issues, after all the VRs has
been upgraded I start the upgrade process of my XenServer hosts from 6.2 to
6.5.
I do not already have PoolHA enabled so I followed this article:
http://www.shapeblue.com/how-to-upgrade-an-apache-cloudstack-citrix-xenserver-cluster/

The cluster consists of n° 3 XenServer hosts.

First of all I added manage.xenserver.pool.master=false
to environment.properties file and restarted cloudstack-management service.

After that I put in Maintenance Mode Pool Master host and, after all VMs
has been migrated, I Unmanaged the cluster.
At this point all host appears as "Disconnected" from CS interface and this
should be right.
Now I put XenServer 6.5 CD in the host in Maintenance Mode and start a
in-place upgrade.
After XS6.5 has been installed, I istalled the 6.5SP1 and reboot again.
At this point I expected that, after click on Manage Cluster on CS, all the
hosts come back to "UP" and I could go ahead upgrading the other hosts

But, instead of that, all the hosts still appears as "Disconnected", I
tried a couple of cloudstack-management service restart without success.

So I opened XenCenter and connect to Pool Master I upgraded to 6.5 and it
appear in Maintenance Mode, so I tried to Exit from Maint Mode but I got
the error: The server is still booting

After some investigation, I run the command "xe task-list" and this is the
result:

uuid ( RO): 72f48a56-1d24-1ca3-aade-091f1830e2f1
name-label ( RO): VM.set_memory_dynamic_range
name-description ( RO):
status ( RO): pending
progress ( RO): 0.000

I tried a couple of reboot but nothing changes so I decided to shut
down the server, force raise a slave host to master with emergency mode,
remove old server from CS and reboot CS.

After that, I see my cluster up and running again, so I installed XS 6.2SP1
on the "upgraded" host and added again to the cluster

So after an entire day of work, I'm in the same situation! :D

Anyone can tell me if I made something wrong??

Thank you very much!

Change Source NAT

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I'd like to know if it's possible to change Source NAT for a specific
server/IP.
I'm running ACS 4.4.4 with XS6.2SP1 with Advanced Network.
I'm having some issue with a cPanel instance with multiple public IP.
I made some port forwarding from the Public IPs to the primary and
secondary cPanel's IPs but something do not works fine.

Change SNAT

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
just a quick question.
Is it possible to change Source NAT of an instance behind a VR or a VPC?
I'm using Advanced Network and I've a VPC with a public mail server, I
would like that public IP is the same for "in and out" but, at this moment,
the server send email using default SNAT of the VPC and MX record point to
another public IP of the VPC (NAT on default SNAT on VPC is not
possible...).

Implementing IPv6

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I need some help in implementing IPv6 to our CS 4.4.2 Advanced Networking
with XS 6.2 SP1.
We have only one zone with a lot of IPv4 public IP already in use.
We'd like to deploy IPv6 but since it's a new procedure for us (and is not
very well documented...) I'm asking some guidelines.
Can anyone write the steps to do that?

Thank you!

Re: Implementing IPv6

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Ok, no problem to upgrade both ACS and XenServer... but "guide" is a big
word for that page! :)
For example...
Need I to add IPv6 range to Public network or just I have to create the
IPv6 shared network?
Are VR ready for IPv6 or there is a "special" version like SystemVM?
Why I need to deploy the "special" SystemVM? after that, XenServer and
Storage should be "talk" in IPv6??

Re: Help in importing VM

[Alessandro Caviglione]

I'm sorry Vladim,
i'm trying to do what you wrote but the XenConver allows only to convert a
running windows OS (just P2V).
Is there a particular version of XenConvert I gave to use??

 Alessandro,

 You got it -- vhd-parent is what I have been thinking of. If you
 would like to know more about snapshots read this:
 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX122978. There is also explanation of
 Coalescing -- read it.
 I personally don't like such a situation where you can't
 explicitly define the file you VM rely on, but this is how XenServer works.
 Unfortunately.  For instance I have 4 VM-s with 4 snapshots (total, not
 each)  and over 90+ files belongs to these VMs, because I did
 snapshots/deleted snapshots many times. They are not coalesced, because all
 of them are like fast-forward from origin, but still each step you do --
 generates new VHD.  I believe there is some garbage there, but I can't
 clean it manually.  I do plan to export-uninstall-import these VM-s some
 time and then will see how it helps. As I understood only xe vm-uninstall
 should clean all the depended objects.

 Vadim.

 Why?

A little lesson about Snapshots

[Alessandro Caviglione]

...so guys, let me tell you my little adventure with snapshots.
Our environment is ACS 4.4.2 with XS6.2SP1.
Yesterday we done some activities on a customer's server, foolishly we have
XenCenter interface already opened and we took a couple of snapshot during
our activities.
At the end, we've to change the service offering of the server, so we
opened ACS web interface, stopped the instance and change service offering.
When we start again the server the instance would not start... in ACS logs
we see:

Catch Exception
com.xensource.xenapi.Types$UuidInvalid :VDI getByUuid for uuid:
x failed due to The uuid you supplied was invalid.

After google a little, we understood that we stopped the instance with a
couple of active snapshots took from XenCenter instead of ACS.
So... maybe, in ACS db there was a wrong uuid of the Root Disk of the
instance...
In fact, in Volume table of ACS db we see that path record for that
instance was different from the one we see in xe vdi-list in XenServer.
So, this was our situation in XenServer:

uuid ( RO): 0345bbf9-be9c-45ae-80e7-fa5fff31625b
name-label ( RW): ROOT-136
snapshot-of ( RO): a0de7625-f98a-4443-a13f-6c9577c2d958
snapshot-time ( RO): 20150522T21:20:39Z
sm-config (MRO): vhd-parent: 9ffe5381-5a0e-4e7c-8614-e19318d9dec9


uuid ( RO): cf50f4ba-05b9-46f9-85e4-f1ac82cdb6b4
name-label ( RW): ROOT-136
snapshot-of ( RO): a0de7625-f98a-4443-a13f-6c9577c2d958
snapshot-time ( RO): 20150522T12:49:44Z
sm-config (MRO): vhd-parent: 083364dc-b43e-401b-ab73-1959a23a9d1

uuid ( RO): a0de7625-f98a-4443-a13f-6c9577c2d958
name-label ( RW): ROOT-136
snapshot-of ( RO): not in database
snapshots ( RO): 0345bbf9-be9c-45ae-80e7-fa5fff31625b;
cf50f4ba-05b9-46f9-85e4-f1ac82cdb6b4

Now, I need to understand a couple of things...
First of all... how Snapshots works??
Instinctively we change the path record in ACS db with the first one
(0345bbf9-be9c-45ae-80e7-fa5fff31625b), you can see that snapshot-time is
later than others.
When instance started we see that was not tha last situation of the
instance... so we stopped again and changed path record with the
a0de7625-f98a-4443-a13f-6c9577c2d958.
So far so good, now the instance was in the last situation and all works
fine!!
Now... why the last situation was in the ROOT DISK that is has not parent
snapshot?
I thought that last Snapshot ROOT DISK has the last instance situation...

Second... since now the instance is running fine but nor in ACS, nor in
XenCenter we can see any Snapshot (that in fact there are two), how can we
delete those Snapshots??

Thank you!!

Console Improvements

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I'm using CS 4.4.2 and i just want to know if there is a chance to improve
the current console.
I do not want to denigrate the work of developers because I love CloudStack
and I think it's very undervalued compared to other competitors ... but the
console is really bad.
Any other product has a better console: Proxmox, SolusVM, Euchalyptus, etc
...
I know that compared to the entire ecosystem of CloudStack the console is a
small piece of the puzzle, but it's the piece that the end user sees first.
The console is virtually unusable performing an installation from ISO, the
characters are not transferred properly, when you reboot an instance the
console goes in Access Denied and you have to re-open, while using it there
is a continuous flapping of the screen.
So the user have to open the SSH or RDP ports to the Internet to connect
directly to his instance and work better ... reducing security and
increasing the user inconvenience.
Is there any chance of improvement?

Thank you very much

Storage for Snapshots

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi guys,
I've tried to find a way but without success.
We've a simple infrastructure with some XS hosts, CS 4.4, one primary
storage and one secondary storage.
Now I'd like to add a deduplication appliance as secondary storage to hosts
only instance snapshots.
How can I configure CS to move the snapshot to that specific secondary
storage?

Thank you!

Re: Storage for Snapshots

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Yes but my goal should be to use dedup appliance only for snapshot, not
also for ISOs and Template...
I think that also secondary storage should have tags to separate
ISO/Template from Snap.


On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 10:46 AM, Nux! n...@li.nux.ro wrote:

 Hi Alessandro,

 I do not think you can separate secondary storage that way.
 Depending on the capabilities of your deduplication device, you might be
 able to mount it in the secondary storage NFS server, under
 /path/secondary/storage/snapshots; say if it's an ISCSI lun etc.

  Subject: Storage for Snapshots

  Hi guys,
  I've tried to find a way but without success.
  We've a simple infrastructure with some XS hosts, CS 4.4, one primary
  storage and one secondary storage.
  Now I'd like to add a deduplication appliance as secondary storage to
 hosts
  only instance snapshots.
  How can I configure CS to move the snapshot to that specific secondary
  storage?
 
  Thank you!

Re: Add services to active in-use Network Offering

[Alessandro Caviglione]

This is a big drawback of CloudStack, it is extremely flexible when you
have to create objects from scratch, but it is a hard piece of wood when
you have to change them when you already use it!

Add customer's isolated network to Instance

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Ok guys, I don't know how to solve my problem...
We're a Service Provider and we'd like to implement a shared Netscaler
Gateway VPX to provide Virtual Servers to customers that wants to build
their own XenApp infrastructure in our Cloud.
So, an our customer already deployed an instance that hosts Citrix
Storefront, DDC and so on, and other instances that are the VDAs Servers
and that hosts the company apps.
We created a Virtual Server in the Netscaler VPX in our Isolated Network
and configure it to point to the public IP (we use Advanced Networking) of
the customer's VR.
With a couple or firewall and port forwarding rule we're able to
authenticate the users on the NS (that authenticate users on the customer's
Active Directory deployed in customer's Isolated Network).
When user start an app, I see that Netscaler is trying to contact the VDA
server private IP (that is in the customer's Isolated Network), obviously
without success.
After a lot of research we see that Netscaler should have an interface
(called SNIP) in the same subnet of the VDAs Servers.
So... it's possible to add to our Netscaler a NIC that reside in the
Isolated Network of our customer?

Thank you!!

 HI Motty,

 First make sure there are no issue in the VM like ip addr, route,
 firewall etc.

 Second When you send traffic from the VM, capture the it in each place to
 figure where exactly the traffic is blocking.
 Is it reached to hypervisor, router etc ? This way you can find who is
 culprit.

 Thanks,

 Hi All,

 I have total of about 5 VMs on Isolated network, but they lost
 connection to outside world. I am able to ping the VR but can't ping to
 outside world. If I log in to VR, am able to ping anywhere outside or
 inside network.

 out of the 5 VMs, 3 machines never loose connection, the two VMs that do
 loose connection are windows machines. To get the connection again, I have
 to restart VR. Any ideas?

 I want to mentioned that, I have three other Isolated networks in the
 same zone. I do not have problems with other Isolated networks.

 I do need help!

Re: Strange instance boot issue

[Alessandro Caviglione]

Hi Geoff,
thank you for your tech suggest!
I think you're right, in fact changing compute offering to 1 GHz the server
boot up in 10 sec...
Thank you very much, also today I've learned something! :)

 Hi Allesandro,

 This is just a hunch, but could it be that Windows only uses its 1st CPU
 to handle the boot process.  If this is the case when you allocate 4vCPU @
 500Mhz it only has 500Mhz of CPU power to process the very intensive boot
 process, vs having 2000Mhz when you allocate a single vCPU @ 200MHz.

 I believe it's always better to provide a faster single vCPU than multiple
 Slower vCPUs as there are overheads on the Guest OS and Hypervisor when
 dealing with multiple vCPUs.

XenServer, installation is fast and the boot issue when restart the VMs
does not appear and also boot is very fast (about 20/30 sec.)
In short, the problem seems to be only when the VMs are managed by
CloudStack.
I found this article and correct the BIOS of my server, even though I had
never encountered this problem until a week ago. (

Someone can give me some guidance?

 Hi,

 I have tried configuring the static for nic2 from the UI.
 UI is not showing the VM nic2 ip addresses, it is showing primary/default
 nic2.

 API is working fine. So I will file UI bug.

 Thanks,
 Jayapal

  Hi Alessandro,
 
  I think default NIC is tightly coupled with default route and
 default GW. You may have several NICs at your system but only once is used
 for communication to outside world. If you have several shared networks
 choose one that is connected to Internet as default. If both connected --
 choose any of them.

  Hellooo,
  I see another strange thing...
  I'm also a newbie of CS and I'm understanding just now some concepts
 but...
  what mean default nic?
  Why in an instance I have a default nic that I can change (if I've more
  than one nic)?
  And why, also if I change the default nic, I still can only configure
 port
  forwarding on the first nic I configured for my instance?
  When I configure a port forwarding and I select the instance, a dropdown
  menu should show the IP address of the instance, but I see only primary?
  Maybe I'm experiencing a bug?

  Hi guys,
  I'm experiencing an issue about port forwarding.
  I've deployed an instance with 2 NICs, both isolated network.
  Now I've configured some services in the instance, some listening on
 NIC 1
  IP and some listening on NIC 2 IP.
  IP are in two different subnet, both assigned by CS DHCP.
  Now, I click the second network in the network menu  View IP Address 
  Public IP  Configuration tab  Port forwarding  then I create a new

  The instance appear in the popup but when I select the instance I just

  Something I wrong?

Re: Resize console VM window

I've not already tried because we're going to create the master template
for each OS and with WIN2012 we're experiencing this issue...

 Hi guys,
 I'm quite new to CS and I'm having this issue.
 When I deploy a WIN2012 instance and try to open the VM console, it is too
 small for the lowest WIN2012 resolution and the result is that the console
 windows is focused in the upper-left corner of the Win Desktop.
 Also if I move the window with the position bar of the console, it will
 reposition in upper-left corner when I click the mouse button inside the
 window.
 This makes it completely unusable and I have to open 3389 port through the
 VR to permit the RDP connection to the WIN2012 instance.
 Is there any way to resize VM console window??

 Thank you!
