Re: Customer Backup with CS 4.7 and VMWare

[Sebastian Gomez]

Thank you Paul, its a good proposal.


This is a really piece to get a global solution. I think that it should be
treated like load balancer, where Cloudstack offers a simple, but useful
solution, and Cloudstack allows to integrate dedicated solutions like F5.
In fact, Cloudstack just offers a global solution, snapshots. This is a
very basic solution, but is a solution.

Would be great that Cloustack allow integration with solutions like Veeam
(p.ex). The connector (configured by cloud administrators) would allow
users to include each vm, and manage the recover from the cloudstack
console (something similar to the current VM snapshot management). And
still more difficult: what happen with deleted VMs? How to interact with
... whatever ... to recover a virtual machine that just does not exists on
CS.

But meanwhile, general solutions (like veeam) does not allow to delegate on
users their own backups.
We have some clients that uses backup agents on their virtual machines
using their own backup services (like EMC Networker).

@Simon Weller: Ceph, also sounds great...

What else?

Good!

Thanks for sharing it, nice iniciative!

We have to upgrade the VMware clusters, but vmware is changing daily the
patch policy...
Once done I will try to remember to share too.

Thank you for the explanation. Is good to know that there really were an

Re: Upgrading to XenServer 7.x

[Sebastian Gomez]

Hi all.

I had a similar problem, but usign XenServer 7.2. It was a fresh
installation from scratch. The system vms where created, but them *could'nt
get the local link IP*, so the cloudstack agent never went up.

After that, I found the compatibility matrix, where its specified that the
compatible versions of XenServer are up to 7.0...
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.9.2.0/compat.html#supported-hypervisor-versions

That's the point where I'm, trying to configure them with XS 7.0, but
unfortunately XS 7.0 does not provide drivers for our Broadcom
BCM57412 10Gb network eth adapters.
Here we are, working on how to add the drivers...


Good luck!

Re: Migrating VMs from AWS to CloudStack

[Sebastian Gomez]

Puppet/Chef/Ansible will not help you to optimize the current task of
migrating your servers from AWS to CS, but will reduce you if you have to
do it again in the future. If you have to re-deploy the servers perhaps you
can think about it. Automatic setup also reduces operative tasks, reduces
human error factor, increases QoS, and of course, if you fail, you will do
it in a big way ;)

We use Scalr over AWS and Cloudstack with VMware, and once you have defined
your services with Scalr is easy to re-deploy them on the private cloud, or
on any public cloud providers like AWS, GCE or Azure.

But if you finally find a good way to do it, please don't forget sharing it!

Good luck!

Re: cloud-set-guest-password working with systemctl

[Sebastian Gomez]

I had the same problem like Marc and I could not resolve it on Ubuntu 16.04.
I followed the cloudstack steps to set it up, but the script is not running
well on our environment.

If I execute the script from command line, it works fine. During the boot
process, there is any problem on systemd and DHCP conjunction, and VR is
not reachable to reply this request.

On the other hand, I found many different versions of this OLD script, and
I remember that we had to use other community version also for Ubuntu
14.04. I noticed that this is a very old script, and has not been modified
for years.
As you proposed, I'm trying to do it via cloud-init. Just landed from
holidays I will finish this integration.

To do a so simply task like setting up a simple template is becoming a
nightmare, so *I would like to know how people *is setting Ubuntu templates
up?
- SSL key pairs? would be a good way, but Cloudstack 4.9.2 does not allow
to manage SSL key pairs using the GUI, only via API, so this is not a way
for not advanced users.
- Default user/password?


I can't believe that we are the only two buddies with this problem.

Re: some issues after upgrade cloudstack to 4.9.2

[Sebastian Gomez]

The problem over upload from local and the problem with the console proxy
were not a problem with cloudstack, was a problem of our network
configuration.

As I told before, we have public IPs and private IPs routed into the
backbone network, so used as "public" IPs also, both mixed.
The systemvm since 4.6 has a script /etc/init.d/cloud-early-config which
now creates routes for private networks (10.x, 172.16.x, 192.168.x) if the
public network is really public. In our case it was a problem, because the
public network for the cloud service is really public, but our
WorkingStations have private IPs (10.x). In this case, when the console
proxy starts, there is a new route for 10.x network over the management
interface, and the connection can't be stablished. The traffic from our
stations comes from public interface and return through the management
network (and is not routed).

We solved the problem tunning this script, commenting the line "ip route
add 10.0.0.0/8 via $LOCAL_GW".

About the problem with upload from local, the reason is that we have not
well passed the certificates on our PRE environment, where we have tested
the upgrade.

Finally we have successfully executed the upgrade process, but with more
work than just the public process... But really, if everything were easy,
life would be boring!


Regads.

Re: Cloud Utilization

[Sebastian Gomez]

First of all, what means "instance utilization is 0%", just kernel
processes and maintenance tasks can increase CPU usage during this period.
No utilization means no logins?

I don't know any service/soft that do it, but you can do it yourself:

For example:
You can easily develop a script to be executed daily on each server to
detect if there is or not usage (whatever it means), and register into a
file (p.e. a counter). One the counter reaches the maximum (p.e. 3 days),
shutdown itself.
For other side, develop a script in other server to make queries on the
cloud database or cloud usage database to ask for instances which have more
than maximum days without being powered on, and call the API method to
destroy them.

Thinking about it I'm sure that people will find better ways to do it.
If you build the solution, please, consider sharing it!


Good luck.

Re: Retiring OLD Primary Storage - Dealing with System VMs and (assumed) Snapshot related artifacts

[Sebastian Gomez]

Hi David,

Perhaps could help you:
He have 4.5.2, and recently have migrated the storage hardware, and so we
had to migrate the primary storages to the new ones.

I had to move manually some volumes and VMs with snapshots, and I had to
update manually the cloudstack database to inform the new volume locations.

select id,name,pool_id,folder,path,chain_info from volumes where removed is
null and name in ('');

Get the vol ID to be updated

update volumes set pool_id=,
last_pool_id=pool_id,chain_info='', folder='',
path='' where id =;

We use VMware, so I can't say you the correct format for Xen. Check the
values from other migrated volumes to see correct format for chain_info and
folder.

Cloudstack 4.9.2, Error on routes on systemvm

[Sebastian Gomez]

Hi all,


We are trying to upgrade our PRE environment from 4.5.2 to 4.9.2.0 to check
the behaviour and apply on our production environment.

I have noticed two problems on the new installation, one of them is that I
can't access the VMs console via the console proxy VM (the other will
arrive on other request ;)


Analyzing the problem I noticed that a new routes are added on systemvm,
for private networks:

root@s-262-VM:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
0.0.0.0 147.148.149.225   0.0.0.0 UG0  00
eth2
*10.0.0.0192.168.100.2   255.0.0.0   UG0  00
eth1*
147.148.149.224   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0  00
eth2
*172.16.0.0  192.168.100.2   255.240.0.0 UG0  00
eth1*
*192.168.0.0 192.168.100.2   255.255.0.0 UG0  00
eth1*
192.168.100.0   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth1
192.168.101.0   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth3

(Public IPs are not real)

And searching into the systemvm scripts I realized that there is a script
"/etc/init.d/*cloud-early-config*" which is responsible of those new
routes, and more concretely, on the funciont
"setup_system_rfc1918_internal", that is called when setting the Console
proxy and Secondary Storage VM.

setup_system_rfc1918_internal() {
  public_ip=`getPublicIp`
*  echo "$public_ip" | grep -E
"^((127\.)|(10\.)|(172\.1[6-9]\.)|(172\.2[0-9]\.)|(172\.3[0-1]\.)|(192\.168\.))"*
  if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then
 log_it "Not setting up route of RFC1918 space to $LOCAL_GW befause
$public_ip is RFC1918."
  else
 log_it "Setting up route of RFC1918 space to $LOCAL_GW"
 # Setup general route for RFC 1918 space, as otherwise it will be sent
to
 # the public gateway and not work
 # More specific routes that may be set have preference over this
generic route.
 ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via $LOCAL_GW
 ip route add 172.16.0.0/12 via $LOCAL_GW
 ip route add 192.168.0.0/16 via $LOCAL_GW
  fi
}

The problem on our environment is that we use real public IPs for public
network, but we use private addresses for internal use (10.x.0.0/16). In
this case, the "if" statement will enter into the "else" block, and the
private routes are added, one of them is 10.0.0.0/8, that includes our
private "public" network (10.x.0.0/16).

When I try to access the VM console, the console proxy is redirecting my
network traffic through the management network, and in consecuense I can't
reach the console due the routing rule:
10.0.0.0192.168.100.2   255.0.0.0   UG0  00 eth1


Dones anyone know how to avoid this behaviour?


Thanks in advanced.

Re: some issues after upgrade cloudstack to 4.9.2

[Sebastian Gomez]

Finally found how to fix-it persistent-ly:

*1. Upgrade tomcat version*

Following the clue from that thread:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7907

   - wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.53/bin/
   apache-tomcat-6.0.53.tar.gz
   - tar --directory /opt -xzf apache-tomcat-6.0.53.tar.gz
   - mv /usr/share/tomcat6/lib /usr/share/tomcat6/lib.old
   - mv /usr/share/tomcat6/bin /usr/share/tomcat6/bin.old
   - ln -s /opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.53/lib /usr/share/tomcat6/lib
   - ln -s /opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.53/bin /usr/share/tomcat6/bin
   - service cloudstack-management restart



*2. Fix systemvm.iso*

Fix the ISO so it creates the upload directory when a new SSVM is created:

cd /usr/share/cloudstack-common/vms/
mkdir tmp
mount -o loop systemvm.iso tmp
cp -rp tmp /tmp/cloud
umount tmp
rmdir tmp

cd /tmp/cloud/
mkdir aux

Destroy the SSVM and wait for the new to be created.

SSH it and check that /var/www/html/upload dir is created.
Check also that you can upload from local.

Re: some issues after upgrade cloudstack to 4.9.2

[Sebastian Gomez]

Hello all!

(I work with Marc)

Thanks Ilya:

About the Template upload from local-->

- I installed the lastest tomcat 6 stable release, but the problem was not
solved.
- I fixed the problem creating the /var/www/html/public dir at the SSVM and
it worked.

But this change will be lost when the SSVM is destroyed and another new is
created.
Is an issue on the systemvm?

I can't believe that we are the only one that have this issue, so, I think
that during our upgrade from 4.5 something has been lost.


Any recomendations?


Thanks again.

Re: Choosing Between Alternate Primary Storages

[Sebastian Gomez]

If I have understood correctly:

Tag each primary storage (p.e. SSD and NLSAS), then create a different
service offering for each storage tag (when you create a Service offering -
cpu, mem, etc.- you can set the related storage tag, use SSD for one and
NLSAS for the other).
When you create the MV, the service offering will determine the storage
tier using the storage tag.

Regards.

Re: Static NAT disconnected ( Windows VM )

[Sebastian Gomez]

We have problems like that with cloudstack and vmware when the nic driver
was e1000 instead vmxnet3.
We changed the nic driver to vmxnet3 (on the template) and the problem was
solved (for the new virtual machines).

Re: Support for vSphere 9

[Sebastian Gomez]

Finally I found the info on the Cloudstack site for the 4.9.2 version, as
you said:

http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.9.2.0/compat.html#supported-hypervisor-versions

I have been looking for that info during last weeks, and I could not find
that via Google... Again, my mistake, I suppose.


Any way, thank you for your support and your time.

Re: Support for vSphere 9

Hi Paul,

Thanks a lot for the answer.
For the ACS people, may be would be a good idea to reference this because
many people are planning to upgrade vSphere and will be afraid about this.

Thanks again.
We will wait for those versions.




Have a nice day!

Support for vSphere 9

[Sebastian Gomez]

Hi all!

I have been looking for any reference into the ACS documentation, news,
etc. about the support for vSphere 9, but I have not found anything.

I am sure that this question has been made here before, so excuse me in
advance for ask again:


Is there any official plan for Cloudstack to support vSphere 9?


Thanks in advance.





Best regards,
Sebastian.

Re: S3 secondary storage performance considerations

[Sebastian Gomez]

Not just about any of your questions, but one advice:

If you are talking about using AWS S3 as backend storage, is highly
recommendable that you consider the storage network traffic cost. I have
faced some cases, where the prize of the network traffic of out-coming data
(from AWS to Internet) is greater than the cost of the infrastructures
itself. In those cases we recommended to place strategic servers on AWS to
reduce the amount of out-coming network traffic.



Regards.

Re: High importance Suggest backup tool

[Sebastian Gomez]

We use EMC VBA wich make an incremental for-ever backup at storage level.
It has an appliance that allows to restore the full VM or file level.
We have VMware as hypervisor, I don't know if there is support for
xenserver.

cloudstack-agent 4.5 problem with cloudbr bridges

[Sebastian Gomez]

Hi all,

I have been working with cloudstack and vmware for more than 3 years, and
now I would like to test it with KVM, but I have problems with the bridges
names.

Summarizing, when I add the KVM host on cloudstack, the cloudstack agent
creates a new bridge a part of the cloudbr0 and cloudbr1 and gets an error
trying to add the interface associated with the public network VLAN.

Extended:

I followed many how-tos, each different, and none of them took me to solve
the problem.

I want to configure the KVM and I have these networks:

172.16.1.0/24 for management traffic, VLAN 554
10.4.0.0/24 for public traffic, VLAN 83
10.254.0.0/24 for Guest NW, VLANs [555 - 569]

Storage NFS is defined under management NW (172.16.1.0/24).

The KVM host have 2 physical interfaces, configured as a bonding -rr (the
switch is configured to allow bonding). This is the interface bond0.

Over it I created:
- bond0.554 is a virtual interface, configured with the management VLAN
(554)
- bond0.83 is a virtual interface, configured with the public VLAN (83)

And over them, 2 bridges as Cloudstack docs says:
- cloudbr0 is going to host management traffic and
- cloudbr1 is going to host public and guest traffic.

Results in:
[root@gary1 network-scripts]# brctl show
bridge name bridge id   STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.180373f5a953   no  bond0.197
cloudbr08000.180373f5a953   no  bond0.554
cloudbr18000.180373f5a953   no  bond0.83

The routes are:
[root@gary1 network-scripts]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
147.83.197.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00 br0
10.4.82.0   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00
cloudbr1
172.16.1.0  0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00
cloudbr0
192.168.122.0   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00
virbr0
0.0.0.0 147.83.197.10.0.0.0 UG0  00 br0

And I can ping other elements into each network.

Now, with the agent fresh installed (free of configurations), I add the
host on cloudstack (4.5.2), and the process stop with an error informing
that the iface "bond0.83" can't be attached to a new bridge that it created
"brbond0-83".

I can see on the host that there is a new bridge called "brbond0-83",
associated with NO interfaces:

[root@gary1 network-scripts]# brctl show
bridge name bridge id   STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.180373f5a953   no  bond0.197
brbond0-83  8000.   no
cloud0  8000.fe00a9fe00b5   no
cloudbr08000.180373f5a953   no  bond0.554
cloudbr18000.180373f5a953   no  bond0.83
virbr0  8000.525400244916   yes virbr0-nic

Now, I manually detach bond0.83 from cloudbr1 and attach it to the new
created bridge (brbond0-83), and the process continues.

The problem is that if I restart the server, the agent cannot re-attach the
iface again, I have to do it by hand (not good). Also, if I configure the
system not to attach bond0.83 to the bridge, it generates an error about
that the network is not found...

On the cloudstack management service, I defined two physical networks:

Physical networkTraffic types   KVM Traffic label
cloudbr0-CS-MGMTManagement  cloudbr0
cloudbr1-CS-PUB-GUEST   Public, Guest cloudbr1




My question is:

Why cloudstack creates a new bridge?



Thanks in advanced.

forcing an IP to a VM

[Juan Gomez Aranzazu]

Hi everybody,

Can anyone help me telling me how to Force a VM that its on an advance zone to 
use a predefine IP address. I had a vm that got corrupted and didn't want to 
start anymore, so i created a second VM but i need to assign to it the same IP 
that i had in the old VM how can i accomplish this?. Do i just make the change 
in the database?.

Thank you for your help.

 Hi Juan,
 
 When you deploy a new VM, if you use the API you specify the IP the VM should 
 use.
 
 If the VM has already been deployed, you can update the DB  VR then restart 
 networking on the VM so it picks up the new IP.

As I am considering swapping from Openstack to Cloudstack [Yes, the pain of

How to move a VM from one Zone to Another

[Juan Gomez]

Hi Everyone,

I have a Cloudstack environment with two diferent  zones configured both with 
advance networking. I want to move a Vm with its volumes from one zone to the 
other one. What procedure will you advise to do this operation?. I don't know 
if maybe it is possible to take a VM snapshot and used to raise the new Vm in 
the other zone?.

Thank you for your help
Juan

Forcing the master host in a cluster to reboot possible issue that may occur

[Juan Gomez]

Hi everyone,

So right now we have the master host in our cluster freeze, the only solution 
we see to getting it back to function is to force reboot it. But We are afraid 
that if we force reboot it the other hosts in the cluster won't know which is 
the master in the cluster and the whole cluster will be in an outage. So what 
do you  recommend that we do or do you think that forcing to reboot the host 
won't cause any additional issues in the infrastructure?

Thank You

Cloudstack monitoring

[Juan Gomez]

Hello Everyone,

Im looking for a Cloudstack monitoring solution to use in a production 
environment for Kumo a public cloud service provider in Colombia, currently we 
use Zenoss but we want to change to a different solution, does anyone can 
recommend any solution , product , service anything?  it does not matter if it 
is open source or not. Or do anyone have any insight on how monitoring should 
be done in cloudstack?

Thank you for your help

My organization uses Zenoss as our monitoring solution. We leverage the good, 
but horribly documented, API to automate the addition/deletion of new 
VM’s/devices. Minimizing the management requirements of the monitoring 
solution. Aside from Zenoss, Zabbix, Nagios, and Pandora are all good choices. 
Each, has their pro’s and con’s.

You’re always going to face management problems in a public cloud. one quick 
and dirty way to ensure easy management would be to enable SNMP polling on all 
of your templates and monitor your entire public block. It’s lazy, but it would 
minimize the time need to manage new VM’s in your monitoring solution.

The devops community is big on open source monitoring tools.
You might want to check this post:

A bit dated but has links and leads to lots of various software components that 
people stitch together to get their monitoring infrastructure.

Subject: Custom billing Application using CloudStack API

Hi everyone

I work for a company name Kumo (www.kumo.com.co). We are one of the most
important public clouds in Colombia, all of our platforms are based on
cloudstack and Cloud business portal. Right now we have a very complex
problem because we are not being able to bill our costumers automatically.
This is because all of our costumers have different prices for the same
kind of product or VM, this is due to commercial issues and negotiations
that are necessary to do in the colombian market. So we want to build a
billing web application using the cloudstack API in order to create bills
for costumers in an automatically way and also send alerts and take actions
to suspend services if payments are not being received. Does anyone know
examples of this kind of application using the cloudstack API, or have any
insights on how we should approach this problem.

Thank you for your help and pardon my bad spelling.

Hi Adrian

I have the same concerns about the Hostbill solution as you do, What about 
Zuora ? Has anybody try them does their solution has a good integration with

Asunto: RE: Custom billing Application using CloudStack API

Hi Juan,

My experience is merely a case of looking on the Hostbill website I'm
afraid. I have a feeling that the solution may be subject to some
limitations - I'm not sure how it handles resources that aren't originally
provisioned by the Hostbill interface, and there's a noticeable lack of
info on provisioning and billing for VPCs and advanced networking but
perhaps not an issue for you. The demos I've seen seem to be focussed on
using Cloudstack as a basic VPS hosting platform. Unfortunately that's
about the extent of the insight I can offer. Search for Hostbill
Cloudstack and you'll find a few demos with screenshots on their site.

If anyone has looked into this in greater detail, I too would be keen to
hear about your experiences.

Adrian

Not sure of the quality or its applicability to what you're doing but
Hostbill have recently updated their Cloudstack integration to work with
the usage data for a more utility-like way of billing.
