Subject: Cloudbr1 not connecting to network(Public or private network), hence 
SSVM not connected to outside world

Hi, i am having a problem on network bridging. I had found that my cloudbr1 
doesnt connected to any network, hence my SSVM and CPVM cant ping DNS or 
Gateway excluded the management server althiugh the status is up and running. 
So i can't downlod any ISO. I have flush my IPTABLES on host machine trough 
$sudo iptables -F but its change nothing. Any suggestion on networking setup 
including during zone creation since my SSVM or CPVM eth2 seems doesn't acquire 
public ip like 203.XX.XX.XX instead of 172.16.XX.XX.
Is it necessary that eth2 must to acquire public ip like 203.XX.XX.XX  in order 
to make SSVM or CPVM connected to outside world since i also doesnt know my 
public gateway instead of private gateway which is 172.16.xx.xx.
Any other fix suggestion are most welcome. Below is my current network setup. 
Btw I have management server and host in same machine. Thank you

RE: Reusing ISO from Secondary Storage

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, as others mentioned you can search with find and it will be in a 
subdirectory like /template/tmpl/.  In the future if you rebuild an environment 
I would advise cleaning up the storage since CloudStack won't clean up files it 
doesn't know about, so any remaining files will waste space.

RE: Reestablishing a VR when the VR was deleted

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, it's good to hear it's resolved.  The document you linked is correct in the 
context of an upgrade.  The upgrade process looks at the name and description 
of the templates to find the new system VM template, and will mark it as such 
in the database.  If, after an upgrade, the system VM template is somehow 
removed I'm not sure how to fix it besides a database hack.

Well, that was the bit of information that finally got us back up and running.

The original routerVM failed to start due to the template not being there, so I 
had redownloaded the template according to the directions at 
https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.4.1/upgrade/upgrade-4.3.html
 and that seems to have been the source of the problem.

Within the errors that accompanied the failure to start of the random VM I 
picked there was an attempt to start a VR:

The line ‘KVM won’t support system vm, skip it’ was the key, as googling it led 
to other cloudstack-users mailing list posts with other people who had failed 
to add systemvm templates back in. Shutting down the management server, 
updating the TYPE column in the database for the systemvm to ‘SYSTEM’ instead 
of ‘USER’, and starting a VM again fixed it, and everything came back up 
happily.

It seems like the documentation on importing systemVMs (for instance, 
https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.9.0/upgrade/upgrade-4.4.html)
 is incorrect, as it says that the template should be imported as ‘Routing: 
no’. Or is there some other method in which a template is supposed to be set to 
SYSTEM instead of USER?

Thanks!

RE: reseting password

[Kirk Kosinski]

The password reset function is handled by the Virtual Routers.  If the password 
reset does not work for VM instances on one host, but works fine on another 
host, it may be a network issue on the affected host preventing the VMs from 
reaching the VR.

RE: reseting password

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, do you mean the VM Instance reboots when you change the password through 
CloudStack?  That is expected.  The password is reset by a script that run at 
boot time so the VM has to be rebooted for the new password to take effect.

RE: Debian 7 Template has ethernet card problem

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, you could add the iptables command in rc.local or other startup script.  
However, even though the workaround helps, that bug isn't completely correct.  
The VR uses dnsmasq for DHCP, not isc-dhcp, so updating isc-dhcp on the VR 
wouldn’t help.

This is more of an issue with the DHCP client.   Try updating the DHCP client 
in the instance, or try a different one.  I think dhcpcd works.  If that 
doesn't help, try installing one from RHEL as their DHCP clients have the 
necessary patches.

RE: ACS 4.3 & VMware CPU Allocation

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, you can configure the cores per socket on the template.  I'm not sure if 
this works in CloudStack 4.3 but it should in 4.4 and newer. [1]  It is 
configured by adding a detail with cpu.corespersocket=# to the template.  I'm 
not sure if this is possible in the UI, so if not, try the updateTemplate API.

Subject: Re: ACS 4.3 & VMware CPU Allocation

Hello Community,

 

We have found a very interesting issue with CPU allocation in ACS 4.3 and 
VMware. When a Service Offering is configured, you can choose the number of 
Cores and clock speed, which is simple enough. The problem comes in on HOW the 
cores are assigned.

 

In VMware at least, each core is assigned as a vSocket, with 1 vCore. As an
example:

 

1. Service Offering defined is 8 Cores @ 2.5GHz,

2. Instance is provisioned as 8 vSockets with 1vCore per Socket

3. OS displays all 8 "CPUs"

4. Happiness!

 

But, when you are using Core based licensing with products such as Microsoft 
SQL 2014 Standard, there is a limit on the number of supported "physical"
sockets, in this case, 4.

 

So when you run a SQL query/command, only 4 of the 8 cores are used, the only 
way around this is to change the VMware settings to 4x vSockets with 2x vCores 
per socket. There is a performance hit as described here:
http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2013/10/does-corespersocket-affect-performan
ce.html, but the main issue is that Customers are trying to use all available 
resources.

 

My questions from the info above:

 

1. Will there be future support to define vSockets and vCores per
vSocket in a future release of ACS?

2. What is the impact on ACS Usage and Management reporting if we change
the vSockets manually? (on VMware itself)

 

Your insights would be appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Tim

Tried to run the cloudstack-sysvmadm manually with the -r option to restart 
only the VR, and the problem still persists.

At the moment, the version of the VR is "UNKNOWN" and the "Require Upgrade"

Any advice how to make the VR back up and running?

the VM.  I wrote a blog article [1] about it with some examples, or you can 
check the OS documentation.

Step:

1. bash#>ps aux | grep

Hi, Mario.  What version of CloudStack is this?  Also, can you be more specific

of the agent configuration (e.g. agent.properties)?  

When you re-added artkvm2, did you add it to a new or existing cluster?  If it 
already existed, were there any other hosts in the cluster besides artkvm2?

Did you try any troubleshooting steps from the posts you found (if so, what did 
you try)?  

Lastly, please provide the entries for the affected cluster in the cluster and

RE: Best way to update Templates

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, yes that is a good way to do it.  Note that if you do delete a template 
that is in use, it won't actually be deleted on the back-end (i.e. the database 
entries will remain, as will the files on secondary storage), rather it is just 
hidden from the end-users in the UI and API.  Giving a new template the same 
name as a deleted one might be a bit confusing so you could consider adding a 
version number or date code.

Best regards,

The only issue I see with that so far is that we lose the linkage between

Re: Port Forwarding to reserved IP?

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, Martin.  CloudStack needs to know about the IP to be able to create
a PF rule for it.  One potential workaround I think might work would be
to acquire a secondary IP for one of the VMs, use that for the virtual
IP in your application, and configure the PF rule for it in CloudStack.

Best regards,
Kirk

 Hi!
 
 I want to configure a port forwarding rule to a reserved IP (Which is 
 assigned as a virtual IP across several VMs). Using the Cloudstack load 
 balancer is not what I want, as it appears as the source of every request in 
 the application log files.
 
 I have excluded a range of reserved IPs from the Network as described in 
 http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/reserved-ip-addresses-non-csvms.html
 (I use Cloudstack 4.4.1, but the documentation appears to be still valid).
 
 This IP is not known to Cloudstack, as it is not assigned to any VM. So I 
 cannot choose a VM to forward to, but I need to enter the IP directly. Via 
 GUI this is not possible.
 I tried it via Cloud Monkey:
 
 create portforwardingrule ipaddressid=589d1160-5618-452f-a78c-dfd6dbec5fb9 
 networkid=1b3893a0-367b-4805-974b-72ae735680fa privateport=8088 
 privateendport=8088 publicport=18088 publicendport=18088 protocol=tcp 
 vmguestip=192.168.101.10
 Missing arguments: virtualmachineid
 
 Faking it by adding some innocent VM's UUID obviously does not work:
 
 create portforwardingrule ipaddressid=589d1160-5618-452f-a78c-dfd6dbec5fb9 
 networkid=1b3893a0-367b-4805-974b-72ae735680fa privateport=8088

 vmguestip=192.168.101.10 
 virtualmachineid=b50e75ed-92ea-44cd-b7c2-f5ede5aa4c94
 Error: IP Address is not in the VM nic's network
 
 So I am stuck here... Any hint on how to make the port forwarding happen?
 
 Thanks,

Re: NFS overprovisioning of 0.5 ???

Hi, my instinct says it won't work, but there shouldn't be any harm in

Re: VMs not Expunging

Hi, if the disks and storage are gone you can hack the database to force
them out of the system.  Just set the volumes for the affected VMs as
state = Expunged and removed = now() and hopefully CloudStack will be
able to expunge the VMs fully (i.e. they'll disappear from the UI).  Of
course be careful when doing anything in the db (take a backup first, etc.).

Re: The specified pod is in avoid set, returning

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, avoid set messages indicate some error occurred earlier in the
job, so to find the real error you need to continue looking (i.e. scroll
up in the log).  I did this and found:

2014-11-26 16:14:47,834 DEBUG [c.c.a.t.Request]
(AgentManager-Handler-11:null) Seq 33-995164179: Processing:  { Ans: ,

[{com.cloud.agent.api.Answer:{result:false,details:ssh: connect
to host 169.254.3.192 port 3922: No route to host,wait:0}}] }

The Virtual Router (r-167-VM) has some kind of problem that is
preventing the host from connecting to it over SSH.  You can log into
the VR console to see if you can find why the host cannot reach it on
the NIC with 169.254.3.192, but the fastest solution is probably to just
recreate the VR (assuming there are no other problems in the environment).

There are two ways to recreate a VR.

1) Destroy it in the CloudStack UI or API and start a VM in the network
(such as the affected VM, i-31-168-VM).
2) Restart the network with cleanup enabled, also via the UI or API.

The eventual capacity error is misleading, but it sort of makes sense
when you look at what happened.  After the VR problem blocked CloudStack
from starting the VM on the selected host, the pod was put into the
avoid set and CloudStack looked for somewhere else to put the VM.  It
could not find capacity elsewhere and thus reports insufficient capacity.

Best regards,
Kirk

Re: VmWare -- VLAN number limit

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, I'm not aware of any limits imposed by CloudStack.  However you
should be careful since at least one VLAN ID is reserved for special
purposes in vSphere.  Specifically VLAN 4095 enables VGT mode for the VM
NICs, which has serious security implications.  I haven't tried using
this in recent versions of CloudStack, but older versions do allow it.

Hi, projects are the likely solution, but keep in mind that VMs are

 Hi Tilak

 This is exactly the use case for the Projects feature.  As long as the
 accounts your two users belong to are in the same domain you can create a
 project and add them both to it.  Any VMS created belong to the project and
 you can add and remove users at will.

 Hi..
 I was wondering if I can assign same virtual machine to multiple users so
 that they can access it from there UI.

 For example:-
 I have a machine i-2-3-vm running centos and two users user1 and user2
 Now I want that when user1 or user2 logs into cloudstack they both can see
 this i-2-3-vm on there interface and they both can access the machine via
 browser on clicking the console button..

 Is such a thing possible with the current cloudstack architecture anyhow?
 If yes please let me know how to do it.

Re: revert to snapshot doen't work

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, there is an error from the hypervisor (XenServer):

The uuid you supplied was invalid.

Unfortunately something must have gone wrong when creating the snapshot
as it is not being found.  Do you have the log from when the snapshot
was created?

Best regards,

Re: adding first POD in test environment

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, Scot.  The add pod wizard needs the management network details for
the hypervisors in the pod.  This network is sometimes called the
private network in CloudStack (database, docs, etc.).  The reason is
that CloudStack needs some IPs in this network for its own use.

Basically, the gateway and netmask should be the same as the management
interface of the hosts in the pod, but the IP range should be some free,
unused IPs in the network.  Of course you haven't actually added hosts
yet, so you should not continue with creating a pod until you have
configured IP on the hosts or at least decided what the IP configuration
will be.

For more explanation check:

http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-installation/en/latest/configuration.html#adding-a-pod

And:

http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/concepts.html?highlight=about%20pods#system-reserved-ip-addresses

Kirk

Re: Broken update from 4.4 to 4.4.1

[Kirk Kosinski]

Right, it is not ideal, though it was like that for a long time (since
at least CS 2.x).  I see that the sudo config was changed recently to be
more locked down, but it did not include keytool due to CLOUDSTACK-1389.
 I checked a 4.3 setup which was upgraded from 4.2 and it still has the
old unrestricted config so I guess CS never updates it, and anyone who
installed a version with a sudo config missing keytool will probably hit
this same problem eventually (whenever keytool is run).

Best regards,
Kirk

 This is dangerous advice. It grants the cloud user full sudo access without
 the requirement of a password.
 
 The following gives more limited access and should allow cloudstack to
 function accordingly:
 
 cloud ALL =NOPASSWD : /bin/chmod, /bin/cp, /bin/mkdir, /bin/mount,
 /bin/umount, /usr/bin/keytool

Re: Can't delete a VM

Hi, I'm not sure about this one.  Often these problems are caused by a
snapshot in a bad state, but if none are left in the UI it doesn't seem
likely.  Are there any scheduled snapshots configured for any of the VM

Re: Fwd: Guest VM with Multiple Networks on single VR (Virtual Router)

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, Abdul.  In your previous message you wrote:

 I want to add additional
 physical NIC to VM without mention IPs and service offering from
 cloudstack

To me this sounds like you want to make changes directly to a VM at the
hypervisor level, so I was trying to explain that this won't work as
CloudStack can and will undo any such changes.  You will need to add
every network to CloudStack that you want CloudStack-managed VMs to use.
 As I explained earlier you may be required to input the IP addresses in
CloudStack, but that range will not be used if the network offering has
DHCP disabled; thus you can configure the NIC in the VM OS with any
static IP address you want.

Kirk

 Hi Kirk
 
 Thanks for your reply,
 
 adding to some more points on the same case I want to add additional
 physical NIC to VM without mention IPs and service offering from cloudstack
 is that possible ?. in my case I have 1 VM which has public NIC and need
 one more additional physical NIC for internal use. on the WAN side every
 thing is working as expected in the same VM I would need to add one more
 physical NIC which I need to manually configure IPs in different range
 apart from the default CIDR.(Eg - connecting to different network over
 MPLS) meaning one guest VM will have two network one towards to public with
 default CIDR and other network towards to MPLS on different IP range, is
 that possible if so could you please assist me on this.

Re: Does management server have to be able mount NSF Share on a storage network?

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, Sam.  Besides during (default) installation, the management server
only needs to access the secondary storage NFS share if you are using
vSphere since the management server propagates the systemvm.iso for
VMware hosts.  If you're using vSphere, just make sure the management
server can reach the NFS server and mount the share.  It doesn't need to
be on the same network as the NFS server.  Template uploading and

 Yes we will dedicate a bond from xenserver to secondary storage device so 
 hypervisor will be able mount secondary storage.
 
 In our previous attempts we have seen cloudstack creating vlan network 
 automatically on hypervisor for its ssvm to use and access to secondary 
 storage. Now we need hypervisor to also be able to access to this secondary 
 storage. So I believe we should assign an ip address on xenserver using this 
 bonded storage interface with the same vlan tag. So we create a bond, create 
 a vlan network out of this bond, and assign ip on Xenserver using our new 
 vlan interface and that should take care of hypervisor connectivity and also 
 SSVM will use cloudstack's automatically created vlan tagged network out of 
 this same bind and cloudstack assigns an ip from storage pool ip to this SSVM 
 virtual interface, is that correct?

Re: Adding OVA or OVF VMs to CS 4.3.1

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, as the others mentioned only OVA is supported.  To use it in
CloudStack you first need to upload the OVA file to a web server that
CloudStack (specifically the SSVM) can reach.  Next, in the CloudStack
UI go to Templates  Register template and fill in the details
(including the URL to the OVA).  You can also use the registerTemplate
API command [1] with a tool like cloudmonkey [2] for this step.
Finally, when the template has been downloaded by the SSVM and shows as
Ready in CloudStack, you can deploy instances using that template.

Re: Guest OS CPU Clock

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, I believe this is normal.  The cpuinfo in a VM will have the
physical CPU speed and not the capped speed.  Did you try running a
benchmark to see if the CPU usage is capped?

Best regards,
Kirk

 Hi Lists,
 
 I found out that the guest OS CPU clock is not conforming to the one
 defined in compute offering.
 
 In Compute Offerings, I defined 1GHz, 2 Cores and the CPU Cap is ticked,
 but when I did a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' from guest OS, it shown my hypervisor
 physical CPU clock.
 
 Is this behavior by design? How to really limit the guest OS to the one set
 in Compute Offering?
 
 Thanks.
 

Re: Virtual Machine Instance suddenly not starting

[Kirk Kosinski]

I would also recommend 4.3, especially for a new installation.  In any
case I checked the log and found this:

2014-09-12 14:53:23,750 WARN
[network.router.VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl]
(Job-Executor-1:job-3) Unable to ssh to the VM: Can not ping System vm
r-2-VMdue to:Unable to connect

There is something wrong with the virtual router.  You can try
destroying it and retrying the VM start.  CloudStack will try to create
a new virtual router and if successful (and barring any other problems)
your VM should then start.

Best regards,
Kirk

 Hello,

  I created a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and cloudstack 4.1 on
 4-Sep-2014. Uploaded a couple of ISO's into the cs environment. Then
 created some instances based on these ISO. Booted the vm (instance),
 installed the os (centos 6.5). Everything was working fine.

  Today, I started the same Ubuntu server, the cs management server and
 agent. The gui console opens up, and I see two system vm's in 'Running'
 state.

  I selected the (user) instance, clicked on the start instance button. The
 system runs forever, with the state of the user instance(vm), being shown
 as 'Starting'.

 The last few lines of the management server log are in :
 http://pastebin.com/tp7SmpPh

 It is the same the system setup, and I have changed nothing. Any ideas on,
 why is the user instance not starting?

Re: UI HTTP Status 404 / Tomcat - Address already in use [UNFIXED]

The IP that agents connect to is configured in CloudStack itself,
specifically the host parameter in Global Settings.  Try setting that
to the IP that the management server is listening on 8250/tcp, and
restart CloudStack.

 After you setup databases, just run cloudstack-agent (if KVM) and

 you’ve openjdk 1.7 installed and if you run “java -version” it should

Re: Problems with firewall

[Kirk Kosinski]

I (vaguely) recall seeing something like this.  I think you aren't
supposed to install the CSP on hosts in a basic zone without SG.  Some
but not all iptables get programmed for some reason, and it doesn't
work.  I would check if it works on a host without CSP.  It definitely
isn't needed in such a configuration anyway.

 I realise that - I was trying to show how I manually stooped the tomcat

 The error I see is a tomcat log showing Address in use but I cannot
 see why since nothing else uses that port.
 
 Could it be that its trying to run on a bridged eth0 which means that
 one IP address has two interfaces? I am clutching at straws here.
 
 That is the only reason I mention tomcat explicitly.

Re: Not seeing parallel power on events in vCenter

Hi, Ian.  Did you figure this out?  Template deployment in VMware is
done through the SSVM instead of hosts so the behavior may be different

Re: Not seeing parallel power on events in vCenter

 start VM which goes to hypervisor hosts

 Not directly to the hypervisors right? They go through vCenter if I
 understand correctly.

Right, the commands go through vCenter, similar to commands to XS hosts
going through the pool master.  But the command sequences will be
host-specific, which you can see in the the logs, the commands can get
stuck waiting for previous ones sent to the same host.

Does your 4.1 environment have the following Global Settings, and if so,
what are the values?

execute.in.sequence.hypervisor.commands
execute.in.sequence.network.element.commands

If they are set to false, try setting them to true to see if the
behavior improves.

Re: Can use subdomain for realhostip replacement?

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, Indra.  I think I've seen someone do this.  It should be fine as
long as you can create the required DNS records in the subdomain and
have a wildcard cert for the subdomain to upload to CloudStack.

Re: Unable to start a VM due to insufficient capacity

Hi, Giri.  There was a problem configuring the network fro the VM (see

it may be out of IPs, or if it doesn't exist there may be no free VLANs
available for a new network.

Re: About sharepoint mode in CloudStack

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, Robin.  The NFS option should be used for NFS shares that are not
already mounted on the hosts.  CloudStack will tell the hosts to mount
the NFS share you specify.

The Shared Mount Point option would be for a primary storage that is
already mounted on the hosts by the system administrator.  Here is what
the docs [1] say about it:

 KVM supports Shared Mountpoint storage. A shared
 mountpoint is a file system path local to each server
 in a given cluster. The path must be the same across
 all Hosts in the cluster, for example /mnt/primary1.
 This shared mountpoint is assumed to be a clustered
 filesystem such as OCFS2. In this case the CloudStack
 does not attempt to mount or unmount the storage as
 is done with NFS. The CloudStack requires that the
 administrator insure that the storage is available.

Best regards,
Kirk

 explicitly blocking outgoing HTTP and HTTPS.
 So I configured my web server to Port 81, only to get a message Only Ports 
 80, 8080 and 443 are allowed.
 
 This effectively leaves only port 8080 for a template-serving web server. 
 After setting my server to port 8080, downloading the template worked fine.
 
 Can I disable this firewall rule? Or do I miss some deeper purpose?

Re: Management Server install on CentOS7?

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, I think he means installing a CS management server and/or KVM
hypervisor on CentOS 7.  Is anyone actively working on making it work?
I've seen many failures from minor changes (e.g. CentOS 6.2 versus 6.3,
or even just minor changes in simple utilities used by scripts) to
expect it will work on CentOS 7 if the developers aren't already working
on it.  I do recall someone trying to package it for an older Fedora but
they didn't get far.

A lot of packages have been updated to be much, much newer.  Off the top
of my head I would worry about Tomcat 7, Java 1.7, MariaDB 5.5, qemu,
and libvirt.  Then there are all the smaller utilities that are used for
the many scripts.  Besides that there is firewalld which will conflict
with anything CS does with iptables.  systemd is supposed to be
backwards compatible so maybe the init scripts would work.

Kirk

 Subject: Windows Template Question
 
 Hello Chaps,
 
 I have a question that nobody seems to be able to answer for me, so I thought 
 I’d try my luck with you guys.
 
 When I first deployed our CloudStack and captured a windows template, the 
 resulting windows VMs would take about 2 minutes from being requested to 
 being deployed and up. The problem here was that windows prompted for a 
 product key prior to displaying the logon screen and wouldn’t allow logon 
 (either local or remote) until that was entered.
 
 Naturally I applied an unattend.xml (pasted Below) to put the product key in 
 automatically which solved the problem and made everything work perfectly, 
 however my Windows VMs don’t deploy in 2 minutes anymore, they take 12 
 minutes… most of which is a black screen with ‘Preparing your computer for 
 first use’ on it.
 
 I realise that 12 minutes isn’t a bad time from request to being online and 
 ready, however It would be brilliant if I could get this back down to the 
 couple of minutes it was originally.

Re: Datadisk Limit per VM

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, the limit is supposed to be based on what the hypervisor supports.
CloudStack cannot support more disks than what the hypervisor supports.
 In some cases the hypervisor might allow adding more disks than the
officially supported number, but this is not a good idea so by default
CloudStack follows the official limits.

Best regards,
Kirk

Re: Datadisk Limit per VM

[Kirk Kosinski]

If that is the case please file a bug and (importantly) include the
supporting documentation, unless you can find an existing bug for this.
 As mentioned earlier the distinction between allowed and supported is
important.  With old XenServer versions, for example, you can add more
disks than what is supported with xe commands, but if too many VMs in a
pool have too many disks there can be problems.

Best regards,
Kirk

Re: X on CentOS instance

[Kirk Kosinski]

Using the Other OS Type is a solution since it will install the VM in
HVM mode rather than PV mode.  A VM in HVM mode has more emulated
hardware, including a virtual video card so X can work, but with Linux
VMs there will be other limitations (mainly related to performance).

This exact same problem happens on XenServer with Linux VMs when using
the correct template, but XenCenter tries to hide it.  VNC will be
installed and configured in the VM and XenCenter will connect to it
instead of the serial console for the VM at the hypervisor level.

Best regards,
Kirk

 2. The same iso with the same OS type (other (64 bits)) but in the

 Ok. the X starts without problem.
 
 That's the only way to X starts ??? why this problem doesn't occur on

Re: Is installing xstools.iso drivers enough for Windows VMs?

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, no, you should continue to use the applicable Windows OS Types for
Windows VMs.  The PV drivers will work correctly with the correct
Windows OS Type.  Furthermore, on XenServer hosts a Windows VM won't
work at all with a PV mode OS Type such as Other PV.  Those OS Types
are only for OSs with PV support in the kernel (i.e. Linux).

Kirk

 Hi,
 If a Windows VM is spun from a template that is not marked as Other PV,
 rather it is marked as Windows R2 Std. etc, and we install Xen PV drivers
 in that VM by attaching xstools.iso, and reboot it, would the VM start
 using new PV drivers or do we have to mark it as Other PV?
 
 In our exp. Windows VMs don't need to be marked as Other PV, and they
 still start using PV drivers when and if they are installed.
 
 In KVM for example, the windows VM has to be marked as Other PV (in
 addition to other necessary steps of course) before the VM starts using PV
 drivers (for KVM of course the drivers are different).

Re: Where can I find the latest Cloudstack XenServer 6.2.0 supplemental package ? (need OVS tunnel functionality)

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, there is no CSP for XS 6.1 and above.  The missing functionality
provided by the CSP was incorporated into XS as of version 6.1.  The CSP
is mainly some RPMs including a different kernel and likely wouldn't
include those scripts anyway.

The CloudStack management server copies updated scripts to the hosts
when the hosts are added to CloudStack.  If you're not seeing the
updated scripts on your hosts, you are likely using a version of
CloudStack that does not include those updated scripts.  You can confirm
by checking the XenServer scripts on your management server.  They are
in the cloudstack-common RPM and stored in
/usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/.

Best regards,
Kirk

 Hi everyone,
 
 I am currently building a test environment comprised of:
 
 - Cloudstack version 4.2.0
 - Citrix XenServer 6.2.0 (free trial version from store.citrix.com)
 
 The final purpose is to create an advanced zone with GRE isolation.
 
 I have been running into a number of problems and finally narrowed it down to 
 these 2 issues:
 
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4599
 
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3174
 
 CLOUDSTACK-3174 seems to be the actual problem and I can see there is a fix 
 provided:
 https://reviews.apache.org/r/12445/diff/#1
 
 
 If I check '/etc/xapi.d/plugins/ovstunnel'  plugin on my XenServer,  I can 
 see that I am missing the fix mentioned in CLOUDSTACK-3174.
 During XenServer installation, a CloudStack XenServer support package was 
 installed as mentioned in the install guide section 8.2.7,
 from the following link:
 
 http://download.cloud.com/releases/3.0.1/XS-6.0.2/xenserver-cloud-supp.tgz
 
 Is there an updated version of this support package ? How can I browse a list 
 of these packages ?
 Or to put it simply in other words, how can I make XenServer 6.2.0 and 
 Cloudstack 4.2.0 work with the following fetaures:
 
 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/OVS+Tunnel+Manager+for+CloudStack
 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Add+Xen+and+XCP+support+for+GRE+SDN+controller
 
 (I think it is worth mentioning that in my setup, advanced zone with VLAN 
 isolation is also not working due to the same OVS tunnel issues)

Re: cloudstack network limitation

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, the rate limiting functionality is complicated.  It can be affected
by the type of network (shared or isolated), the direction of the
traffic, the hypervisor running the instance or virtual router, the
Network Offering for the network, the Compute Offering for the instance,
the System Offering for the virtual router, and the
(vm.)network.throttling.rate parameters in Global Settings.

So there are many places to check.  It is explained in the docs:

http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/network-rate.html

I wrote much of this section, but I think it might be out of date.  I
didn't know support for rate limiting with KVM had been added.  I think
the example at the end might be wrong for KVM, but the rest should be valid.

Best regards,
Kirk

Re: Fwd: Cloud Stack dhcp issue

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, if you configure a CloudStack network without DHCP or completely
without a virtual router, CloudStack cannot configure networking for the
VM.  You will need to configure networking in the VM.  If you have your
own (non-CloudStack) DHCP server for the network, you should configure
it to assign the desired IP settings to the VM.  Or you can manually
configure a static IP in the VM.

Re: Instance create with ISO always fails. Templates create fine.

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, Bryan.  The Test1 VM failed because FreeBSD is not supported on
XenServer 6.2.

2013-10-12 09:59:43,198 WARN  [xen.resource.CitrixHelper]
(DirectAgent-136:null) XenServer 6.2.0 DOES NOT support Guest OS type

Check the XS documentation about what OSs can be installed from ISO or
at all on XenServer:

http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/6.2.0/1.0/en_gb/guest.html#install_linux

If the OS you need to install from ISO is not listed, you can try the
Other (32/64-bit) OS Types.  This will boot the VM in HVM mode and it
should probably be possible to install, though there are some downsides
to HVM mode.

The tricky part is that even if the OS is listed, it still may not work
since XS is kind of picky when it comes to the actual ISO.  So while
Ubuntu 12.04 is listed, it could be that the 12.04 ISO works, but
12.04.2 doesn't.  So I'd try an actual 12.04 ISO and not something
newer to see if it makes a difference.

 I had the same problem trying to get Ubuntu 12.04 working from an ISO and
 once I changed the OS Type to be more generic it worked.

 The OS Type field is what determines things like NIC drivers and things that
 get applied to the VM at the hypervisor level. It's possible something about
 the correct OS Type that matched the ISO is causing things to fail.

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, what I meant was that FreeBSD is not officially supported by Citrix
on XenServer.  The result is that CloudStack cannot map the FreeBSD OS
Type to any template on XenServer (since none exist), hence the failure
and error to that effect.  Other failures may have a different cause,
but I only have the logs for the Test1 VM.  If you upload more logs I
can take a look, or you can search the logs for DOES NOT support Guest
OS to check if it is the OS Type causing the problem.

If FreeBSD supports running on XenServer, or is at least known to work,
the main thing to determine is if it needs PV or HVM mode.  With this
info you can choose an appropriate OS Type in XenServer.  The Other
(32/64-bit) OS Types will force VMs to boot in HVM mode, while Other
PV (32/64-bit) will force PV mode.

 Might be of interest to other FreeBSD users on the list, FreeBSD 10 is

 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revisionrevision=256423

 On XenServer versions up to an including 6.2, paravirtualized
 CDROM support is broken.  When running in an HVM domain,
 ignore paravirtualized instances of CDROM media, and instead
 rely on native drivers attaching to emulated hardware.  This
 functions correctly on all currently known Xen based
 platforms.

 5. Update the database

 You can check #3 looking at the disks themselves on storage to see if
 they've grown. You can check #4 by restarting the VM to see if it
 picks up the change.

 It may be that libvirt was unable to inform the VM of the change (for
 example if you haven't upgraded to a supported version of Ubuntu or
 CentOS and it has an old libvirt that doesn't support volBlockResize).
  The way to know for sure is stop/start the VM if you can.

 Look at those two things and let us know

Re: mem.overprovisioning.facto and KVM

[Kirk Kosinski]

There's no support for memory overprovisioning in CS 4.1.1 and earlier.
 That global parameter causes a lot of confusion since despite the name
it does not enable memory overprovisioning.  Memory overprivisioning
support has been added to CS 4.2, but it uses cluster-level settings and
not the global parameter.  This is explained in the admin guide, and the
design details are here:

Re: Slow network speed to VM instances after upgrade to CloudStack 4.2.0

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, your observations on Compute Offerings are by design.  They can only
be created and managed by admin accounts, and only the name and
description can be edited.  They can be public or domain-specific, but a
root admin account should be able to view all of them.

Instead of editing existing offerings to set the desired network
throttling, new ones need to be created (using an admin account) and the
VMs updated.  VMs will need to be stopped, and it can be done by a root
admin or the user that owns the VMs.  The change can be made via UI or
API (changeServiceForVirtualMachine command).

But are you sure the Compute Offering is causing this?  Is the Network
Rate on the Compute Offering for the affected VMs set to 2 Mbit/sec?
What hypervisor are the affected VMs running on, and what type of
network (isolated or shared)? The actual network throttling seen by VMs
is complicated and depends on a combination of factors including:

1) Network type (isolate or shared)
2) Hypervisor of the guest
3) Hypervisor of the virtual router (for isolated networks)
4) NIC driver of virtual router (for vSphere)
5) Network Offering for the network
6) Compute Offering for the instance
7) System Service Offering for the virtual router (isolated networks)
8) Direction of traffic (ingress or egress)
9) The vm.network.throttling.rate global parameter
10) The network.throttling.rate zone parameter
11) Actual physical capabilities of the network and hosts

 After CloudStack upgrade to 4.2.0, the network speed to our VM instances is

 which didn't take effect on CloudStack version 4.1.1 or below, but now is

 I read this article on how CloudStack manages the network traffic for the
 VMs:

 For guest VMs, the network rate-limiting is set on the compute offering

 All our guest VMs are created under different accounts and have their own
 compute offering, which is auto-created under that specific account when
 the VM instance is created.
 
 The issue is, from admin account, I can't seem to modify the compute
 offering for the guest VMs. If I go to GUI  Service Offerings  Compute

 can I see and modify the compute offering under different accounts?

Re: Create Template on NFS secondary Storage

[Kirk Kosinski]

Did you patch the hosts recently?  That is the likely cause.  The
patched NFSSR.py that CloudStack copies to XS hosts can be overwritten
by some patches.  Without the patched NFSSR.py, when secondary storage
is mounted it reverts to the default XenServer behavior of including an
extra directory named after the SR UUID.

One solution is to copy the correct NFSSR.py manually from the
management server to /opt/xensource/sm/NFSSR.py on every XS host.  There
will be several versions of the script in
/usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/ on the
management server, and you can check the MD5 checksums beforehand to
confirm it is the problem.

Another solution is to force CloudStack to setup the host again, which
includes copying NFSSR.py.  To do this, unmanage the cluster in
Cloudstack, clear the tags parameter for every host in the cluster (xe
host-list, xe host-param-clear uuid=uuid param-name=tags), re-manage
the cluster, and wait a few minutes.

Re: how does Cloudstack change reset password works?

[Kirk Kosinski]

Was the additional IP assigned through CloudStack or only on the VM?  If
CloudStack knows about the IP, the script should still work; if it
doesn't, it may be a bug.  If CloudStack does not know about the IP then
it won't work.

Re: Failed to deserialize json object

[Kirk Kosinski]

Hi, those errors are more of a symptom that system VMs weren't restarted
rather than something that would prevent them from being restarted (via
script or manually).  If the script is not working, did you try
restarting the system VMs manually?  If not, try doing so using the
CloudStack UI or API.

If the system VMs have already been restarted and you are still seeing
these errors, it may be this bug:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3377

If you're using XenServer, follow the solution in the bug comments.  For
vSphere and KVM, verify that the MD5 of systemvm-4.2.0.iso on secondary
storage matches the one on the management server at
/usr/share/cloudstack-common/vms/systemvm.iso.

Once the ISO is consistent on the management server, XenServer hosts and
secondary storage, destroy the system VMs and wait for them to recreate,
this time with the correct systemvm.iso.

Kirk

Re: Help with host network config KVM + Centos

[Kirk Kosinski]

Open vSwitch is not required.  For this configuration I don't think any
special configuration is required on the host or in CloudStack.  Try
simply adding the host.  CloudStack should detect the default gateway on
eth0 and create the necessary bridge on it.  All traffic types will use
that bridge by default.

My main concern is if CloudStack will work with the multi-homed
configuration.  If after adding the host you find that the CPVM is not
working, it may be trying and failing to connect to 10.3.9.50, so you
may need to explicitly configure management traffic to use eth1.  This
is done by creating a bridge on eth1 and updating the traffic label in
CloudStack.

secondary storage.  Log on to a host (in particular host 13 [1] since it
is confirmed to suffer from the issue) and try to manually mount the
full path of the directory with the system VM template of the secondary
storage NFS share [2].  The idea is to confirm the share and
subdirectories of the share are mountable.  Maybe during the maintenance
some hosts changed IPs and/or the secondary storage NFS share
permissions (or other settings) were messed up.

If the mount doesn't work, fix whatever is causing it.  If it does work,
please collect additional info.  Enable DEBUG logging on the hosts [3]
(if necessary), wait for the error to occur, and upload the agent.log
from the host with the error.  It should have more details besides the
exception shown in the management-server.log.  If you have a lot of
hosts and don't want to enable DEBUG logging on every one, temporarily
disable most of them and do it on the remaining few.

[1] 13 is the id of the host in the CloudStack database, so find out

 We had a planned network outage this weekend, which inadvertently
 resulted
 in making the NFS Shared Primary Storage (used by System VMs) unavailable
 for a day and a half.  (Guest VMs use local storage only, but System VMs
 use shared storage only.)  Cloudstack was not brought down prior to the

 After network came back, we gracefully brought down all services
 including
 cloudstack-management, mysql, and NFS, then actually rebooted all servers

 for
 table corruption, and found none.  Confirmed that the NFS volumes are
 mountable from all hosts, and in fact Shared Primary Storage is being
 mounted by cloudstack on hosts as usual, under /mnt/uuid.

 Nevertheless, when try to bring up the cluster, we fail to start the

Re: CS Mgmt Server can't connect to virtual router by management network

[Kirk Kosinski]

Is this a new or existing installation?  If there are existing
functional virtual routers, how does the routing table compare to the
broken one?  Does the broken virtual router at least have a management
IP in the correct range (the range configured for the pod)?  Did you try
a stop/start of the virtual router, or destroy/recreate it?

System VMs on shared networks will use the guest network as the default
gateway, but IIRC they will also be configured with a static route on
the management network to the network of the management server.  Is the
host parameter in Global Settings correctly configured to the IP of
the management server or a load balancer for a cluster of management
servers?

 Hi,
 
 In shared network VR does not act as a gateway for any of the network. So 
 your network infrastructure has to take care of the reachability from one 
 vlan to another vlan. i.e. on your gateway make sure that you have a route to 
 reach from Vlan B to Vlan C
 
 Thanks,
 Sanjeev

 Subject: CS Mgmt Server can't connect to virtual router by management network
 
 In cloudstack 4.0.1 with vmware vsphere 5 as the hypervisor,  I  create a 
 shared network use default shared network offering. 
 
 when I  create a vm in this shared network , the vrouter be created at first, 
 and the vrouter will be assigned 2 IP address . The firtst is in the VLAN A 
 which is for guest network, and the second is in the VLAN B which is for the 
 management network( locallink network) , and  my CS management server is in 
 the VLAN C. Then I find that the mgmt server cannot communicate with the 
 vrouter by the management network. The vrouter is in a starting status and 
 the VM cannot be created.
 
 Then I login  the vrouter and I find that the default gateway is set the VLAN 
 A's gateway,  and the VLAN B's IP address not have a gateway. So my mgmt 
 server can't connect to the vrouter.
 
 So what can I do to let my mgmt server connect to the vrouter?
