VM Settings

2020-07-09 Thread Victor Racy
Hi,

I use cloudstack with KVM and I'm trying to add new information to the XML
file of one of my VM's, to be more precise I want to add a new disk to it
without using the Storage function.

What I tried so far was using the VM Settings and extraconfig to pass on a
URL with the configuration of my disk (which is actually a LUN) but I'm not
sure how that works and the Documentation did help me much. So as a simpler
question I want to know how I can add new stuff to a VM's XML file through
Cloudstack.

I added a value to
allow.additional.vm.configuration.list.kvm
and used this value ("disk" in this case) as my name when creating a new
Setting in the VM and then put "extraconfig=myURL" in the value for the VM
Setting. Is this right?
I'm not sure what I should put as value in this Global Setting and not sure
if it matters what I put as name in the VM Settings.

If you could explain to me how that works or if there's better
documentation or a video tutorial on VM Settings cause the official one did
not help me.

Thank you!!

Hello Boris,

I am able to create VM with nfs+Ha and nfs without HA. The issue is with 
creating VM with Ceph  storage.

Hi Victor,
Host HA is working only with KVM + NFS. Ceph is not supported at this stage. 
Obviously RAW volumes are not supported on your pool, but I’m not sure if 
that’s because of Ceph or HA in general. Are you able to deploy a non-ha VM?

This feature can use a custom HA provider, with default HA provider implemented

James,


Ceph is a great solution and we run all of our ACS storage on Ceph. Note that it adds 
another layer of complexity to your installation, so you're going need to develop some 
expertise with that platform to get comfortable with how it works. Typically you don't 
want to mix Ceph with your ACS hosts. We in fact deploy 3 separate Ceph Monitors, and 
then scale OSDs as required on a per cluster basis in order to add additional resiliency 
(So every KVM ACS cluster has it's own Ceph "POD").  We also use Ceph for S3 
storage (on completely separate Ceph clusters) for some other services.


NFS is much simpler to maintain for smaller installations in my opinion. If the 
IO load you're looking at isn't going to be insanely high, you could look at 
building a 2 node NFS cluster using pacemaker and DRDB for data replication 
between nodes. That would reduce your storage requirement to 2 fairly low power 
servers (NFS is not very cpu intensive). Currently on a host failure when using 
a storage other than NFS on KVM, you will not see HA occur until you take the 
failed host out of the ACS cluster. This is a historical limitation because ACS 
could not confirm the host had been fenced correctly, so to avoid potential 
data corruption (due to 2 hosts mounting the same storage), it doesn't do 
anything until the operator intervenes. As of ACS 4.10, IPMI based fencing is 
now supported on NFS and we're planning on developing similar support for Ceph.


Since you're an school district, I'm more than happy to jump on the phone with 
you to talk you through these options if you'd like.

My testing does indeed end up with the failed host in maintenance mode but the

saying there is no other host that the VM can be migrated to.


Couple of questions if you have the time to respond -


1) this article seems to suggest a reboot or powering off a host will end 
result in the VMs being migrated and this was on CS v 4.2.1 back in 2013 so 
does Host HA do something different


2) Whenever one of my two nodes is taken down in testing the active compute 
nodes HA status goes from Available to Ineligible. Should this happen ie. is it 
going to Ineligible stopping the manager from migrating the VMs.


Apologies for all the questions but I just can't get this to work at the

Subject: RE: KVM HostHA

Hi Parth,

Two answer your questions, VM-HA does not restart VMs on an alternate host if 
the original host goes down.  The management server (without host-HA) cannot 
tell what happened to the host.  It cannot tell if there was a failure in the 
agent, loss of connectivity to the management NIC or if the host is truly down. 
 In the first two scenarios, the guest VMs can still be running perfectly well, 
and to restart them elsewhere would be very dangerous.  Therefore, the correct 
thing to do is - nothing but alert the operator.  These scenarios are what 
Host-HA was introduced for.

Wrt to STONITH, if no disk activity is detected on the host, host-HA will try 
to restart (via IPMI) the host. If, after a configurable number of attempts, 
the host agent still does not check in, then host-HA will shut down the host 
(via IPMA), trigger VM-HA and mark the host as in-maintenance.

some basic concepts of it:
- If HA-enabled VMs are autostarted on another host when current host goes 
down, what is the need or purpose of HA-host? (other than management server 
able to remotely control it's power interfaces)
- I understood the "Shoot-the-other-node-in-the-head" (STONITH) approach ACS

Hi Jon and Victor,

I think the management server pings your host using ipmi (I really don't
hope this is the case).
In my case, I did not have OOBM enabled at all (my hardware didn't support
it)
I think you could disable OOBM and/or HA-Host and give that a try :)

Thanks for the response.


I think I am not understanding how it was meant to work then. My
understanding was that the manager used ipmitool to just keep querying
the compute nodes as to their status so I assumed it didn't matter how
you shut the node down, once it was down the manager would get no
response and mark it as down (which it does).


I am in testing mode so I think I will just go and pull the power and
see what happens :)

Hi Jon,

I think that what you guys are finding, is that a controlled host

considered an HA event. I wouldn't expect CloudStack to take any
action if you shut down a host, only if the host (agent) stops responding.

 From the UI under HA -


HA Enabled Yes
HA State Available
HA Provider kvmhaprovider


although interestingly from the "Details" tab it shows -


HA enabled No


which I assume is a cosmetic issue ?


On each compute node I have one HA enabled VM and one non HA enabled VM.


I power off a compute node and the UI updates the host status and the VMs
on that node stop responding but they never fail over to the other node.


Couple of things I noticed -


1) as soon as i power off the compute node the HA state on the other node
shows "Ineligible"


2) In the UI the instances all still show as green even though two of them
are not available

the logs should show entries relating to these, BUT it's possible that as 
you performed a clean shutdown, the agent could have sent a shutdown ack to the

zero experience here with 4.11 in general, but what are you expecting to

you powered off a host, so nothing for IPMI driver to do - host is down
already, no host HA actions are expected afaik.

I guess you might have have wanted to i.e. unplug NIC (cause network issues
on MGMT network), or... kill agent service and then observe the actions.

Were VMs started on another host, in your test?

I couldn't understand the meaning of this. I am glusterfs for storage

Re: IPMI out of management

2017-08-15 Thread victor

Hello Rohit,

As mentioned in the following url, IPMI method will help to achieve HA 
with KVM hypervisor.



https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/KVM+HA+with+IPMI+Fencing

I have successfully implemented IPMI out of management with my 2 KVM 
hyper-visors successfully.  But I couldn't find a way how we can achieve 
HA with the host.  What will happen to the VM's in a host which is in 
halted state. Can you explain how the out of management help you in this 
case. I couldn't trace out much from the logs.

Victor,


Which proposed features do you want to know, if they are covered with ipmi 
oobm? As per current master, 4.10/4.9 releases, IPMI based out-of-band 
management works with CloudStack.

Hello Guys,

I am also able to successfully configure ipmi fencing with cloudstack.
Also can you guys let me know whether all the proposed features are

Victor - yes it works, there is a ipmisim [1] tool you can test the 
implementation against, as well as real h/w.

KVM+HA

2017-07-18 Thread victor

Hello Guys,

I am facing the same issue that mentioned in the following url .

-

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3535

-

When the host is put in maintenance mode , then ha enabled VM's are 
automatically migrated to available host. But when the kvm host is down, 
no HA is done. The vm's are still down until I put the host node back up.



I have tried everything like the following.

=

1, system VM's  and client vm's are created in shared storage

3, Added ha.tag host tags

2, Created host by adding ha tag

3, Created VE's  in Ha enabled host with ha enabled service offering



Do you guys have successfully tested Ha. I am really stuck at this part.

Regards





Re: KVM hypervm and HA

2017-07-12 Thread victor

Hello,

Thanks for the update.  When a single vm in "hypervm1" is stopped or 
down, it gets automatically started in the second vm. But when the 
entire hypervm1 server  is down completely, the vm' inside it is not 
getting started in the secondary "hypervm2". Is the feature is version 
specific.

Victor

Hello,

  I have a cloudstack system with one management server, one nfs server and
two kvm hypervm host servers. Initially I configured cloudstack  with
hypervm1, so the system vm  and console proxy gets created in it. Lately I
have added hypervm2 and created few instances in it. So my doubt is the
following.



1, If hypervm 1 is down which contain system-vm,console-proxy and
router-vm, then what will happen.

2, If hypervm 1 is down completely and we couldn't make it up, will the
system vm,console proxy and router vm will be switched to hypervm2
automatically.  If it is not automatically, then is there any option for
that.
