Pretty sure that if getting the management server up and running was as simple as... 1. Install CentOS 2. yum install cloudstack 3. setup-cloudstack-all-in-one.sh ...we'd see many more people at least trying it out. Some might see the current installation options as easy enough but if someone

Hi Lucian, This is still a very devops/developer centric approach which in my opinion is rife within the ACS community (understandably) and which is inadvertently hostile/elitist to many who might otherwise be interested. I think that many regular sys admins who perhaps don't want to get involved

RE: Any VxLan Support on Xenserver

I think that the issue is with needing a controller. Unfortunately you can't just replace VLANs with VXLANs unless there's some form of control plane. You can do this in a distributed manner using broadcast to multicast mechanisms but this AFAIK is not implemented in Openvswitch. I'm not quite

Can't see the wiki at the moment as it's down for maintenance but on a slightly different but related note, would it be feasible to use DHCP relay functionality in dnsmasq on a VR and still get the IP address assigned by an external DHCP server registered into the ACS MS? Not quite sure if under

Out of interest, on the assumption that there are no issues with using 6.5 when it's released and there are no backwards-compatibility problems, will it then work with 4.4.1 or does CS need to be *explicitly* told that newer, effectively unknown versions are 'acceptable' as a valid hypervisor?

Perhaps it's just me being lazy but I reckon that having defined 'beta' and RC packages available for download (with some form of marketing to inform people) would likely increase the sample size for testing, including different use cases. I'm pretty sure that there are a number of people that fit

RE: Shellshock

2014-10-03 Thread Adrian Lewis
I still think that patching bash is the best option. There are a load of scripts on the system vm that explicitly use bash (/opt/cloud/bin for example) which take input from the management server so you'd need to audit all of the input validation rules on the API (maybe it's safe already). Bear in

2014-09-30 Thread Adrian Lewis
@John - Quite agree. It's not just scripts that need checking either. Very unsettling to have a vulnerable version of bash on every system vm, many with direct access to both the CS infrastructure as well as client VMs. All it takes is for someone to find another vector (e.g. DHCP, DNSmasq) other

I'm glad to see that there's a potential workaround for this. Perhaps this should be somehow incorporated in the installation process to allow smaller setups to be implemented on hypervisors with existing VMs. The main benefit in my mind though is as the OP suggests - DRaAS. I think that having a
