So my virtual router was not receiving DHCP requests. When rebooted it would only bring up eth0 and not eth1. So I destroyed it. Cloudstack didn’t recreate it until I made a new VM. I saw the new VR get created in vCenter, but then nothing. CS says ‘Starting’ and nothing is happening in vCenter. The VM exists now, but it’s not running and there are no pending tasks.
How does one continue troubleshooting from here? I can tail the management-server log, but it’s so verbose it’s nearly impossible to tell what’s related to the VR and what’s not. How do I see the status on the VR creation? I’d love to learn how to troubleshoot these problems in CloudStack; they always drain hours out of my day and in the end I feel like I didn’t do anything. CS just fixes itself afar a few hours. That’s great and all, but it’s a few hours my entire infrastructure is unusable while my hands are tied. I have five dedicated vmware 5.5 hosts running in a DRS cluster with CloudStack 4.4.2. Just looking for tips on how to troubleshoot VR and SS problems.. Thanks! -Franky
