Hello,
I have a customer using cloudplatform + cloudportal running on a bunch of servers, everything working fine. We tried to make the core infrastructure as highly available as possible, but - mysql has no native clustering, so my question is:
To citrix - do you plan supporting other databases like postgre or oracle db?
To all fellow forum members - any hints on how to make mysql DB highly available?
Right now we have two mysql servers with mysql replication that works most of the time, so if one node crashes bad, we have the data on second node and are able to bring it up in a few minutes. We also use mysql-proxy so we have a single DNS name for our mysql and don't need to reconfigure cloudstack and cloudportal nodes.
We have tried using mysql-cluster (2 node active/active mysql), but this is not supported by citrix and also we had some trouble running it. How do you solve this, or do you don't do anything with mysql? :)

CloudPlataform - Hyper-V support?
Hello.
Here in our business we want to add a cloud solution service to our customers, so we download the trial version of CloudPlataform to test it, but we use Hyper-V as hypervisor.
After 'digging' the web for information, we found that there is no 'native' support for Hyper-V, but there is a plugin for CloudStack.
We keep researching the web for info, but we couldnt find any information about this plugin on CloudPlataform and if it works well or not.
Can someone please clarify this for me? Is it possible to have a good Citrix CloudPlataform perfomance using Hyper-V as hypervisor? Please note that change the hypervisor is not an option for us, because we already have a lot ot of VMs running on it.
Thanks very much for you attention, looking forward for some help.

Is there anyway to integrate OTRS,Zenoos and Vtiger with Cloudportal Business manager? I don’t want to go with salesforce which is already integrated with CPBM.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm wanting to get some advice on upgrading our environment. We're using XenServer, CloudPlatform and Portal, all of which need to be upgraded to latest versions. The main thing I want to know is the order in which to upgrade and will the VM's need to have some down time.
Thanks in advance

Inter-vlan tier IP assignment
Hi All
I've setup a VPC with several tiers however the vm's in the tier's don't appear to pick up the IP address assigned to them.
Each VM show's an assigned IP address under it's instance NIC card but this isn't reflected within the VM when it uses DHCP. When I assign a static IP (using the one assigned to it) it comes back with a duplicate IP.
Can someone explain what I am missing here?

Cloudstack 3 installation issue CentOS 6.3
HI All,
Just running through the installation routine of the management server and when I hit M to install the management server after a couple of seconds I get the attached error message with basically says */repodata/repomd.xmk errno 14 could not open read file */repomd.xml. I'm using the citrix download of cloudstack and not the opensource version.
Does anyone have any idea on what this error might be, I think I'll try it on centos 6.2 as well just to see if that makes any difference.
Regards

Instance does not delete from ESXi Host after being detroyed
HI,
After destroying a VM instance via the CloudStack GUI, the actual files on the vmware host are not deleted.
I tried changing the global settings expunge.interval* and *expunge.delay to 60secs each, but all this did was remove them from the list of instances in CloudStack GUI.
Any Ideas?
SSVM Will not download a template OVA or ISO until restart
Hi All!
I have successfully installed cloudstack 4.0 on CentOS 6.3.
Only problem I am having is with templates and the SSVM.
After I register a new OVA or ISO via the GUI, the Status gets stuck at 2-5% downloading for forever.
It is only after I restart the SSVM(Secondary Storage VM) that the download actually starts and completes successfully.
As I am unable to log into the SSVM server because of a public key error, how can I resolve this?
I have added my webserver to secstorage.allowed.internal.sites
For the login issue I followed this but not joy-> www.tutkiun.com/2012/06/login-to-system-...ters-cloudstack.html
Thank you for your help
com.cloud.utils.exception.CloudRuntimeException: can't mount Secondary Storage from HyperVisor
Im running into an annoying issue when creating a new template(by using Cloudstack, template, register new template) and was wondering if anyone has seen this.
Below are the error logs and mysql changes made to make this work. I just don't understand why this happens when some templates are uploaded. The version I'm running is CloudPLatform 3.0.3 and Xenserver 6.0.3 with updates XS602E001-010.
The issue is that when a new template is uploaded and a new instance is being created I get an error that the mount point can't be mounted on the hypervisor, the SSVM has download the template successfully and can mount the SR. Its when the Hypervisor tries to mount the SR(install_path) where it errors out. As you can see the error in bold show that there is a mount occurring with "//" in the mount path. If anyone has any ideas on why this is happening it would be great to know. Thanks in advanced.

Not able to create a new instance
Hi Team,
I was in process of creating my initial private cloud. I have followed the "CloudStack Advanced Installation Guide" and successfully configured cloud stack. I have configured cloud stack with VMWare as my hypervisor.
I followed the below steps to create the instance.
Now i am trying to create my new instances.
Go to the Instances tab, and filter by My Instances.
. Click Add Instance and follow the steps in the wizard.
. Choose the zone you just added.
. In the template selection, choose the template to use in the VM.
Here i dont see any template to choose. But when i see the template in "template" screen i can the see the template.

How to see which Domain Router is for which account
In cloudstack 2.x we were able to go to the virtual routers section and search through them based on a customer's domain ID
It seems this feature does not exist in 3.0.5. So my question is - How can I find out which domain router relates to a specific customer?
If i go to infrastructure > virtual routers there is a search box but it seems it only allows us to search using the domain router name, which doesn't help me since there are a few hundred routers and I don't know which one is for the customer i'm looking for!
Thanks,

i have two CCP 3.05 Servers running. Everything was fine, but when i now try to login to the ui with default password and username (admin / password) nothing happens. I can also fill in some user which does net exist and try to logon, its still the same, nothing happens.
The Services are started, the mysql DB is reachable and the management server log shows me many activity but nothing what is related to the login process.
I already tried several browser... It doenst work..
Does anybody knows what could be the problem?
Thank you
Cannot open instance console
I have my cloud up and running but I cannot view the console of any of my instances. The browser opens a new windows which then gives an error of the operation timed out trying to contact <IP>.realhostip.com.
I cannot see any problems with the system VM and all browsers are the same.
I am running CloudPlatform 3.0.5 patch1 can anyone provide any help getting this working.
Thanks
James
API Key Generation and SSH Key Documentation
Hello,
It is very simple to generate API keys for any user. Unfortunately, there is no mention of how to do this in the Admin Guide or the install Guide. It would be very easy to add the simple directions of how to do this in the documentation. It's as simple as pressing a button, but if you don't know that you might stumble around the documentation for hours trying to figure it out.
Also, under the directions for creating SSH keypairs, the documentation instructs you to run a curl command with port 8096. However, this does not work until you set integration.api.port in Global Settings to 8096 and reboot the management server. And, the documentation does not mention this.
For, reference I was issuing the curl command directly from the management server. The note in the documentation that says "If you are making the API call from a different server, your URL or port number will be different" is confusing, because it leads you to think that port 8096 should work by default, therefore causing you to look for something other than the port configuration as the root of the problem.
These are very simple fixes to the documentation, and they could save people wanting to try out Cloudplatform a fair amount of time trying to figure those things out. If there is a better place to put this kind of request, please let me know.
Adding hosts
I'm new to Cloudstack and I started to set up my first cluster yesterday. Everything has been running smoothly until I went to add a new host. I followed the steps on the guide on installing a new hypervisor host and attempted to add it via the UI. When attempting to add, Cloudstack UI comes up with the error "Unable to add host" with no further information. I checked the logs on the host server and seen that it is SSH'ing in and then drops 3-6 seconds later.
Nov 19 17:21:13 pl-c-node-01 sshd[14625]: Accepted password for root from IP_REMOVED port 45410 ssh2
Nov 19 17:21:13 pl-c-node-01 sshd[14625]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Nov 19 17:21:19 pl-c-node-01 sshd[14625]: Received disconnect from *IP_REMOVED*: 11: Closed due to user request.
How can I troubleshoot this problem?

Will not deploy System VMs, spins them up them deletes them
Hi,
I'm running Cloudstack 3.0.5 & VMware 5.1 in an advanced network scenario:
6 x Cisco UCS B-200 Blades
Vmware vSphere 5.1
Nexsan E60 Storage Array â 70TB SAS and SATA
Cisco MDS Fibre Switches
Cisco 3750-eâs 10GB expansion ports
VC01 is running in the same network as the Management Server & Primary Storage 10.100.1.0/24
Storage is hosting the secondary storage NFS 10.205.1.0
Public isn't in use but does exist as a network - 10.210.1.0
Guest01 - 10.215.1.0
Management server has 2 NICs (10.100.1.206 and 10.215.1.10)
I have management data centre and a Guest data centre each with 1 host in for now. I have created all the networks on the management data centre host and just left the guest data centre host blank for CloudPlatform to create them itself, is that correct??
I'm getting errors like this in the management server log:
java.lang.Exception: Unable to find vSwitchCE_MGMT
CE_MGMT is a VM port group I manually created in the VM Management host and labelled it in the zone creation wizard.
Currently there is a v-2-VM which is powered off and a s-*-VM which keeps deleting itself and spinning back up with a higher number on the Guest Host. They are currently residing in the cloud.private.untagged.0.1-vSwitch0 along with the ssytem template.
Please could someone have a look and see what's going wrong?

Changing Host Password Doesn't Work
There is a section in the Admin Guide for changing the host password- the instructions look to be the same for older versions of Cloudstack 3.x, but I am running 3.0.5. Unfortunately these instructions are not working for me. I only have one host added in my zone, so finding the host ID in the database was easy. However, when I tried to change the password, I got this:
mysql> update cloud.host set password='password' where id=1;
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'password' in 'field list'
Furthermore, I tried running "show columns from cloud.host;" and I did not see a "password" field. I also tried doing this on another management server running CloudPlatform 3.0.5 and I don't see a password field in cloud.host
So is has this password field been moved somewhere else in 3.0.5 or are my servers just wacky?
Thanks.
How do you change the default URL for Cloud Platform
I am setting up a private cloud and I want to change the default URL from http://<server>:8080/client to simply htp://<server>. This would make things a lot easier for users to remember.
The documentation on customisation simply says to refer to the tomcat website which is not much use if you don't know where to start looking.
Does anyone have any information on making this change?
Cheers
James
