Re: restricting users to a or Zone / Cluster

After reading the URLs above it sounds like I can use tags to get what I want... If I tag a cluster or a primary storage that is related to a particular cluster - then I could also use the same tag when deploying Instances to make sure only certain Instances go to a certain cluster (or primary sto

Re: restricting users to a or Zone / Cluster

Bryan, You can use Tags to tell CloudStack where you would 'like' it to put resources, but tags are best endeavours. If you have two clusters, but the one you want to place resources on using Tags is full, CloudStack will simply allocate the resources to the other cluster. Regards Geoff Higgi

Re: restricting users to a or Zone / Cluster

So really the only way I can make sure certain hosts get used by a certain user is to make a separate zone? Basically, I need to have 2 groups of hosts: on group of hosts that is dedicated to dev/qa/experimental stuff, the other group of hosts is production. Looks like I can't just make separate u

Let me rephrase that, Hi Bjoern, On the KVM deployment you are using, I take it that the 1 gig disk is a data disk. It the problem that its unwieldy to manage or that 1 gig takes up too much room? Does the 1 gig data disk take up a lot of space on the primary storage? DL > -Original Me

Hi, Not 100% sure but if you run the VSA within the same cluster CS will kill it every time you start it unless you deploy it from CS as a template. So you will either need another host/cluster which runs this VSA for you or you import it and deploy via CS onto a local storage then setup manuall

Re: What's everyone using for primary storage?

I use iSCSI on our own SAN that uses drbd to replicate synchronously to another node. We chose iSCSI because it creates 0% load on the SAN CPU and has a low memory footprint. NFS is very popular because it allows for thin provisioning. I benchmarked both, and while IO was about the same, the CPUs

I believe the guest os wants a minimum amount of ram to run the graphical installer. Try bumping up the memory by installing with a larger service offering and see if that helps. Ahmad On Mar 18, 2013, at 8:23 AM, Paolo De Marco wrote: > Hello, > I've cloudstack 4.0.1 installed and worked wit

I can't detect"com.cloud.api.commands.CreateNetworkCmd" command via listAsyncJobs

Hi, I'm trying to use listAsyncJobs API call to detect network creation, but "com.cloud.api.commands.CreateNetworkCmd" command never appears in async jobs queue. Others commands like "com.cloud.api.commands.DeleteNetworkCmd " appears without problem, but no the creation job!! Any idea about this

RE: I can't detect"com.cloud.api.commands.CreateNetworkCmd" command via listAsyncJobs

Create network is not an async job, while deletion is. You could check http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/api/apidocs-4.0.0/TOC_Root_Admin.html to know which APIs are async and which are not. createNetwork just makes a db entry, the network is not implemented when you fire createNetwork

On XenServer, PV mode Linux VMs do not have a virtual video card and are unable to run X on the console. The console you see in XenCenter and CloudStack for such VMs is actually a virtual serial console. If you want to use X on a PV mode Linux VM, set up a VNC server in the VM and connect directly

At a glance, its seems the management server cant connect to 'host 3'. Maybe a more full log might surface the exact issue. I'd start by trying to connect to the host in question from the management server. On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 1:02 PM, wrote: > I know others have had problems with System VM

I don't even know what 'host 3' would be. My two hosts servers have fully qualified domain names (and are registered in CS with those names), and I'm using IP addressing for the NFS share. The management server can connect to the NFS share as I did that to download the template as specified in

Not sure if I ran into the same thing you did or not. I am finally up and running but there are a few variables at play so I am not sure which one did it for me. Since you mention you are on CentOS on your hosts I am assuming KVM. I am using Xen via xcp-xapi on Ubuntu so not sure how much of this
