Windows Virtual Machine on Cloudstack KVM Platform

2021-06-03 Thread Hean Seng
HI

Is there anybody running  Windows on Cloudstack KVM platform, is there any
performance issue ?

For Cloudstack KVM,  running Windows, how can I know is using VirtIO driver
or not ? Seems I not able to choose if to use VirtIO or not .

Thank you.

Re: Best practises and ideas for power outtake scenarios

2021-06-03 Thread Andrija Panic
Hi Chris,

shutting down ACS VMs and hosts is just one part of the story, another part
of the story is also shutting down your side infra, such as storage arrays,
and any external stuff you might have. But let's focus on ACS.

I would make some scripting which involves:
- pulling data from UPS to detect when power down, sleep for some short
amount of time (i.e. 1-2minute to see if this is some hiccup) then if power
is still down, you can use bash and cloudmonkey to automate the following
(to be tested properly in your test env):

- Disable the zone(s)
- Put all Primary Storages in the Maintenance mode - this will cause all
existing VMs on that storage to be shutdown, one by one = takes LONG time
  SO better approach is to query ACS for a list of running VMs
(save this in a file somewhere for later!), put that list in a file, send
VM stop command in batches of 10 or 20 or 50 (depending on the size and
speed of your storage) - don't overload the storage
  confirm all your user VMs are stopped
  stop all system VMs (SSVM, CPVM, all VRs)
  --- confirm no running VM
-- at this point there is no VM running at all in your ACS setup
-- shutdown management server (so you avoid putting your hosts in
maintenance mode in ACS - takes time otherwise), shutdown your MySQL
servers (use by ACS mgmt servers)
-- if using VMware, put all hosts in maintenance mode, and ask Center to
shutdown all hosts (you need to see what to do with vCenter itself, etc)
-- if other hypervisors are used (KVM, XenServer) - do whatever it takes to
shut them down safely/correctly

When power is up, reverse everything - power hosts, wait some time and
confirm all your hosts are up/connected in your management tools ( e.g. in
vCenter, XenCenter, KVM via VirtManager, whatever)
Start the MySQL, the mgmt server, enable the zone (SSVM and CPVM will be
started automatically), then query that list of previously running VMS
(that you saved) and start them one by one, or in batches of 5 or 10 (or
more) - depending on your HW performance (try to avoid "boot storm) -
starting a VM in a network will cause VRs to be started automatically, so
this step is not needed explicitely - but you can handle it manually as
well if you like


This is just to give you an idea (I once had to shutdown ACS and everything
else, which included SolidFire storage, Cloudian S3 cluster, some other
storage solutions etc, in my ex company) - was a really "interesting"
experience...


Best,

Best practises and ideas for power outtake scenarios

2021-06-03 Thread vas...@gmx.de
Hello everyone,

i would like to ask for some ideas / bestpractises for dealing with
power outtake scenarios involving the the cloudstack infrastructure.
So the usecase would be a power outtake at a datacenter where all
components of cloudstack (management server, hosts, storage) are
hosted, which can't be repaired in a given time.

so the "simple" target process would be something like this:

1.Power outtake detected bei UPS
2. UPS is giving notification to CS Management
3. CS management is sending information to all vm's as well as hosts
4. vm's and hosts performing gracefull shutdown
5. management server performs gracefull shutdown
6. afterwards shutdown of storage and further components

Are there any included "workflows" or mechanics which can be used out
of the box? Any real-life best practices how to implement this kind of
workflow?

with regards,
Chris

RE: 2 networks with DHCP in the same subnet?

2021-06-03 Thread Yordan Kostov
Ah I see now. Network A and B are shared so users cannot create them on their 
own.
It seems shared networks cannot be hidden from accounts in the same domain in 
advanced zone config (from the online documentation).
I will have to think this through.

Sounds like you are complicating the setup (or feel the need to do so, for 
whatever reason).

Did you test:

parent domain with domain admin "admin" - then just regular users accounts
(QA/DEV) - so each QA and DEV can create their own resources (networks, VMs, 
etc) - QA and DEV are separate accounts/tenants so can't access each other's 
resources (i.e. different tenants) THe domain admin account for that domain 
("admin" account), being the domain admin, should be able to manage resources 
of all user's inside his own domain. - but if you provision a resource as ADMIN 
user (domain admin user), those resources will be owned by ADMIN account only 
(as expected) - so keep that in mind.

KVM High Availability Regardless of Storage

2021-06-03 Thread Ivet Petrova
Hello all,

Today I am sharing one more video from the past CSEUGvirtual - a talk from our 
VP Gabriel Brascher.

One of the great advantages of CloudStack is that it is vendor-independent, 
meaning you can decide the technology stack above and below based on your 
experience or needs. However, there is a limitation on CloudStack HA for KVM - 
it relies mainly on NFS heartbeat script checks. Gabriel’s talk illustrated how 
CloudStack HA works for KVM hosts and presented a way of improving its 
implementation in a way that KVM HA works with any storage system pluggable on 
KVM, not just NFS.

https://youtu.be/3o_WdnPEyug

Check the ACS Youtube Channel for more videos from the conference!


Kind regards,


 



RE: 2 networks with DHCP in the same subnet?

2021-06-03 Thread Yordan Kostov
Thank you Andrija,

Indeed tested that, if ON  "bypass vlan overlap" option, it is possible 
to create 2 shared networks in the same vlan.
IP gets assigned but for some reason the interface is shutdown in some 
time(Ubuntu 20). I am now troubleshooting the reason for this.

The design I am trying to create current is - 3 groups of users - lets 
call them QA and DEV and ADMIN teams.
- Network A is for QAs.
- Network B is for DEVs.
- ADMIN should have access to both networks.

I tried that setup with one parent domain (admins) and to child (QA and DEV). 
Assigning a network to child domain DEV hides the network from QA. ADMIN domain 
see the network but cannot create instances inside.

If those 3 accounts are under one domain is it possible to:
-  assign Network A to be operated and visible only to QA  and Admins
-  assign Network B to be operated and visible only to DEV and Admins

The only solution I have found so far is the following:
- Define 2 networks - A and B with VR (DHCP, DNS, USERDATA) only available to 
ADMINS so nobody sees them
- Define L2 network AA with USERDATA assigned to QA that overlaps vlan id A
- Define L2 network BB with USERDATA assigned to DEV that overlaps vlan id B

Both users and admins can create instances. Users will not be able to change or 
choose IP address.

Regards,
Jordan

Considering you are trying to create 2 shared networks (irrelevant of their IP 
range), and I ASSUME you want them on the same VLAN? - then I don't think this 
alone is possible (2 network with the same VLAN)

If you can do it, then it's easy to test what you are asking and have first 
hand-answer :)

IN ACS workdl, in theory, 2 DHCP CAN operate in the same network, since ACS 
provisions explicit DHCP reservations for each IP - i.e. you can't just boot 
another VM (provisionined manually, outside ACS) in the same VLAN - as DHCP 
will reject to give it an IP.

Is it any official ASF or ASF infra policy or simply a standard practice?

Could the availability of posts DB/table synced to Git repo solve that in case 
of a CMS such as Wordpress or Drupal?

I didn't find anything exactly but the following may be explored:

https://github.com/deliciousbrains/wp-migrate-db
https://wppusher.com/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-github-sync/

But I hear that TLPs can get a wordpress instance on wordpress.com (instead of 
hosting/managing ourselves), if not for the full TLP website but at least as a 
separate blog (say on blog.cloudstack.apache.org)? Thanks.


Regards.

users@infra is a private list, so I've removed it from this reply
(mixing public/private lists is problematic)

In particular, please note Mark Thomas' point, and my acknowledgement
at [1].

The short answer is "downstream users should have the ability to
access both code and website sources". That implies that the website
source is in a version control system (git or svn) that can be used to
generate the website, just as much as they can fetch sources to build
the [Apache Cloudstack] releases.

We have not found a way to post to Wordpress.com, sourced from version
control, so ... sorry to say: that is not a viable platform for the
primary website. If y'all can find a way to push from version control
over to wp.com, then yay! That would be great.

Projects may use VMs for their primary websites, but (historically)
Wordpress has had difficulties with self-hosting. As a result, the
Foundation uses wordpress.com to host the Feathercast blog rather than
attempting to self-host.

Per above, if you can construct a process running on a VM, that pushes
version control over to WP.com, then that problem is solved.

(and yes, the Foundation would be fine paying the yearly fee to host
at wp.com; that isn't a concern)

Per the linked email, the primary concern is the ability for
downstream users to be able to view/construct all the content of an
Apache product's website.

There are many projects currently using Pelican, sourced from a git
repository, to translate Github-Flavored Markdown files to HTML static
content. This is the Infra-recommended process/workflow for website
publishing. Please see https://infra.apache.org/project-site.html

We recommend this workflow as it allows content-editors to use
github.com to edit/preview pages very simply, and those changes will
quickly appear on the website when saved.

Re: 2 networks with DHCP in the same subnet?

2021-06-03 Thread Andrija Panic
Considering you are trying to create 2 shared networks (irrelevant of their
IP range), and I ASSUME you want them on the same VLAN? - then I don't
think this alone is possible (2 network with the same VLAN)

If you can do it, then it's easy to test what you are asking and have
first hand-answer :)

IN ACS workdl, in theory, 2 DHCP CAN operate in the same network, since ACS
provisions explicit DHCP reservations for each IP - i.e. you can't just
boot another VM (provisionined manually, outside ACS) in the same VLAN - as
DHCP will reject to give it an IP.

Best,
