[Brian Fitzpatrick]

Hi Andrija,

Thanks for the reply

There is NFS primary storage on the management server but it doesn't have any 
vm volumes on it, they are on other NFS primary servers.

So I thought I should have been safe to reboot

All vms on other hosts, vm volumes on other nfs shares living on other servers, 
system vms and routers also on other servers

So all (I am fairly certain) that was on the server I rebooted was the one and 
only Management server and mysql

Thanks

Brian

Hello Brian,



May be I did not understand very well but from what you say I get

that the management server + SQL and NFS are on the same physical hosts

that are being managed by cloudstack?


If those VMs are not visible in Cloudstack, the system is not

aware that they exist so it wont try to roll them to another host if you

perform hypervisor host reboot.



Best regards,


Jordan

Subject: Management server reboot appears to cause vms on other hosts to

shutdown?




[X] This message came from outside your organization




Hi all,



Still relatively new to CloudStack and learning, testing etc.



I have created 1 management server with mysql on it and created 2 clusters

with a nfs primary storage server in each and a number of hosts in each.



I have been working through the servers, putting them in maintenance mode

(noting the vm migrations), updating and rebooting them. All working fine



I then wanted to update and reboot the server running the management and

mysql. It is also a host, so I set it in maintenance mode so no vms running

on it.



I thought if I update it and reboot, all I would lose for a period of time

was access to the management server, the vms should keep running on their

various hosts



The reboot, took longer than usual, it seemed to hang for 15-20mins before

shutting down and rebooting. To my surprise though I lost contact to all

the vms on the other hosts.



They all shut down.



Apologies, if I have missed something here, I thought I understood. All

virtual routers and system vms 

Re: VM console keeps pausing to the point of being unusable

[Andrija Panic]

my bad, wrongly understood you are using no-VNC.

Try migrating the target VM and the SSVM to the same host, and try again
then - is there any improvement?

Best,

Re: AW: CloudStack and Ansible

[Andrija Panic]

For those of you who have VMware parent cloud, and need to build tons of
nested ACS envs for testing purposes (VMware, XC/XCP-ng, KVM), or at least
to examine some setup/code - those guys have some weird thing callied
Trillian ;)

https://github.com/shapeblue/trillian

A couple of thousands of nested environments built in last 3 years

I don’t have that option in CS version 4.13.1.0, This is the old VNC way is it

Did you try switching back to VNC-based access - i.e. modify the global setting 
novnc.console.default=false and see if the old VNC way works fine.

Did you try switching back to VNC-based access - i.e. modify the global
setting novnc.console.default=false and see if the old VNC way works fine.

Hi Andrija

Yes, no issues accessing the VNC port directly on the KVM server.

Adam,

did you try accessing the VM console via standalone VNC viewer, based on the 
way Rohit explained  - dump the XML of the VM, check the IP/port and password 
details - and use those to access  and see if that

Adam,

Adam,

did you try accessing the VM console via standalone VNC viewer, based on
the way Rohit explained  - dump the XML of the VM, check the IP/port and
password details - and use those to access  and see if
that connections is established quick enough.

Re: [DISCUSS] Rocky 8.4 and CloudStack

[Nathan McGarvey]

Rohit,
Agreed. on the el8 rename for the repos. I'd recommend keeping a
symlink back to centos just for folks running automated scripts and such
downstream. Make sure the rsync daemon still works for both, too.

Do you know how difficult it would be to change the CI/CD build
processes to point to point to either multiple OSes or change to another
OS for testing? E.g. Don't actually switch off of CentOS 8 quite yet,
but be able to test alternatives before the end of the year.

Thanks,
-Nathan McGarvey

Re: DEBUG message: Cannot release reservation, Found VM: VM[User|i-5-106-VM] Stopped but reserved on host 1. How to fixed?

[Kalil de Albuquerque Carvalho]

Hello Suresh.

Thanks for the tip, worked fine.

Best regards.

Hi Kalil,

Can you check the config setting 'capacity.skipcounting.hours ', which is the 
wait time before releasing the VM resources.

The setting 'host.reservation.release.period' is the time interval to check and 
release the host reservations, but the resources are not released until the 
duration specified through 'capacity.skipcounting.hours' setting after VM is 
stopped.

Suresh

Re: [DISCUSS] Rocky 8.4 and CloudStack

[Rohit Yadav]

Great thanks all for the discussion, so what we mostly agree on are:

  *   CentOS8, Rocky Linux 8 and other initiatives may all be binary compatible
  *   We can host all el8 repos which these distros may use
  *   The community may help validate the CloudStack el8 pkgs among one or more 
clear winner with time

As an immediate action, let's us publish all "centos8" or "rocky8" package 
repos under generic "el8" repos? For example, 
http://download.cloudstack.org/testing/nightly/latest/ we can add symlink or 
rename dirs as "el8", "el7".

Hello and Happy Monday to all of you!

I am writing an article for the combination of CloudStack and Ceph for cloud

and what benefits and flexibility it provides.
Are there any users of CloudStack + Ceph here?
Will some of you want provide 2-3 sentence quotes on the topic, which I can

Thanks in advance for the help!

Rohit, sorry the long delay

Yes all servers and VMs are in time sync.
It does seem to be an issue with the console proxy, no attempt of increasing 
its resources is improving the situation.
What else can we try?

Hi Adam - can you check and sync time on your KVM hosts, management servers and 
CPVM using ntp? This is because SSL-enabled connection are time sensitive.
In order to test VNC directly, you can ssh into the host and do something like:

# virsh list # find the VM

Then run dumpxml and grab the IP/port and password, for example:

# virsh dumpxml --security-info s-180-VM | grep vnc



If you're on the management network, you can use any VNC client and details you 
find to connect to the VNC directly. I often connect virt-manager (UI) to a KVM 
host over SSH and use the console directly (the only trick is to grab the 
password, by clicking the information tab -> go to VNC -> click on show 
password -> copy and use it to see console).

Do you know how many concurrent access to VNC  from your user ?

Or you want to increase the Console Proxy Capacity?

Also, please make sure the console proxy Ip/Network is up when you having issue 
on it.

Yes it could. Bit dependent on what the lookup/discovery platform is, and

All,

I close this thread and will start another voting thread for RC3 later today 
since we've not received any further blocker/critical bug reports and all 
outstanding issues have been tested/fixed/merged: 
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/milestone/17

I think the issue cannot be classified as blocker as it's specific to just UI, 
a user may still use the API for the specific case where offering has root 
disk. There are some other issues reported like this as well.

RC3 may not be strictly necessary but I'm willing to cut it, but let's do it on 
Monday. Let's keep testing, reporting bugs until then.

I hate to bring bad news, but I found an issue caused by PR #5085 [1].

The issue affects only VM deployment via UI when using an offering that has
root disk size.
I've just opened PR #5150 [2]; tested it and this fixes the issue.
Sorry for the inconvenience but this might require a third round. What do
you think?

The good news: all raised issues on RC1 have been correctly addressed and
RC2 works as expected.
Apart from the issue raised in #5150, all tests look good.

[Rafael del Valle]

Rafael
