Hi all,

 

I have a new CloudStack 4.8 install running with KVM on CentOS7.  It is setup with advanced networking using vlan isolation.

 

The SSVM works great and i deployed a new guest VM using the Centos5.5 default image,

 

The Centos5.5 guest VM can ping the virtual router.  The virtual router can ping the Internet and the guest VM.  However, the guest VM cannot ping the Internet.  The guest VM can do name resolution when using the virtual router as its dns server.  

 

We are doing Source NAT, the virtual router has a Internet IP address.  I can do additional troubleshooting, just let me know what you need.

 

Thank for any help you can provide!

Sean

Greetings,

If you are adding Hyper-V to CloudPlatform, the requirement is SMB or local disk. If that is the case, its not NFS so mounting it to Management Server wouldn't be capable. So how would you add the system vm template if your secondary storage is an SMB hosted from a windows based file server?

Hello,

When you configure your zone for advanced networking, and you select to use security groups, can you go back after and disable security group?

The issue we are seeing relates to the way in which we believe your CloudPlatform is parsing XML data in the OVF file contained within an OVA container use for the deployment of virtual machines.

 

You may see and instant of the OVA that fails to import into CloudPlatform Business Manager by navigating to our download pages at https://www.pexip.com/download and looking at the OVA in the âManually deploy a new Conferencing Nodeâ section. For your reference, the OVA we produce that is listed in the âDeploy a new Management Nodeâ, uses the more ânormalâ XML description, and CloudPlatform parses this with no issue.

 

Our use of XML namespaces (a standard part of XML: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-names11-20060816/) is completely standard and also necessary in order to ensure the XML is generated in a controlled way. The namespaces are defined using the âxmlnsâ tag at the start of the file. You will see that we define âovfâ and âns0â to have exactly the same URI (please look at the XML from both the working Management node and non-working Conferencing node linked to previously). This means they have exactly the same semantics, and can be used interchangeably. However, due to some unknown reason, the Citrix systems are unable to parse this information correctly. If the parsing of the XML looks at the namespace prefix, rather than the namespace URI, then Citrix is not parsing the XML correctly.

 

We are not able to change the way we generate the OVF template, but we have had reports that manually editing the XML result in a OVA that can be imported, and once the VM has been deployed, things work as you would expect. We have recommended to our customers that they approach Citrix directly and requesting that you re-look at the parsing of the files, especially considering that the native XEN platform (including the Citrix XEN v6 On Prem Solution), VMware and all other OVF-parsing tools we have met successfully parse our XML.

 

 

 

We are seeing more and more customers look at cloud offerings to support their videoconferencing solutions using our platform. I therefore trust you will be able to create an internal technical issue for the Cloud Platform team, and that you may be able to resolve this matter to the mutual benefit of both Citrix and Pexip.

Dear All,

I unable to setup static NAT rule & Firewall rule through CCP after successfully configured following steps,

1.  "SRX device"

2. "Network Offering"

3. "Add instance"

4. "Source NAT"

I acquired public IP from configured pool at Public (Not for Management, Guest). But it's appear some error logs(Please see attachment) . I felt the issue is coming when writing the configuration related to public interface. All guest interface configuration has done successfully. please help me.

 

Thanks & Regards

Hello,

 

An update or workaround would be available soon ?

 

Because i can't deploy Windows 10 vdi from my Cloudplatform, on it the OS Type is "Windows 10 Preview (64-bit) (experimental)", and it doesn't exist anymore on XenServer 6.5 patched for Windows 10 Final.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Hi guys,

 

Hi guys,

 

    Do any body know what's the different(functions,reliability) between "XenCloudPlatform" and "CloudStack"?

Hello, 

 

I have a setup cloudplatform 4.5 and integrated it into xendesktop 7.6 using citrix studio.

 

The Citrix Cloudplatform management server also stores the primary and secondary storage. When it comes to the networking i have kept it simple by using "Basic zone".

 

Also in Cloudplatform i have created a volume worker vm ( centos 6.4 ) with the

*ctxvd-x-x-1.i386.rpm package installed

*Citrix Xentools installed

*An exeption for 443 port in iptables / FW

*/etc/ctxvwd/select-platform CCP

*service ctxvwd start

 

The volume worker template also have the tag Citrix.Xendesktop.Template.Role=VolumeServiceWorkerRole in CCP.

 

But when i attempt to create a desktop to cloudplatform using citrix studio ( small instance - machine creation services and my windows 10 template ) i get the error:

 

 

Error Id: XDDS:2367399E

Hello,

       I am unable create a Virtual Machine while  connecting via api call using Customized compute offering. It generates an error " Unable to verify user credentials ". Even if I am using right api and secret key. Same keys working for non customized offering.

We have been using CPSM for quite some time with App Orch, we are looking to get CPBM setup for reporting/billing purchases. I have two questions

 

1. when adding the CPSM integration do my existing tenants come over with the offering they have?

 

2. is there decent documentaion on how to add the integration to CPSM? I can't find anything useful. I am adding but when i add the service i get "Cloud service is down"

 

Hi,

 

After i upgraded Xenserver 6.5 SP1 to hotfix that integrate new Windows 10 tools (driver support), now when i try to deploy with Cloudplatform 4.5.1 Hotfix 1, it failed.

 

Failed to deploy Vm with Id: 755, on Host with Id: null

 

on a Xenserver without the update i deploy successfully.

 

Thanks in advamce

 

Bye

I have had unending issue reinstalling Cloudplatform 4.5. After installation the console proxy and ssvm agent state is usually blank. I have followed https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/SSVM,+templates,+Secondary+storage+troubleshooting but nothing still works. When I run /usr/local/cloud/systemvm/ssvm-check.sh inside ssvm or console proxy it passes all the test. the problem though is that when you click on console it doesnt go through. It times out or gives you connection refused. Is there anything I am missing? Meanwhile I am using virtual xenserver and my template seeding was offline.

Hi

 

I have just deployed CloudStack on a set of brand new servers. I have deployed an "Advanced" zone and that all seems to be working quite well. I am looking to offer a mixture of the following:

 

VPC instances for customers who require elastic compute and per hour billing etc...

 

and

 

VPS servers for customers who require just a handful of VMs

 

The issue I have is that I cannot figure out how to create VMs for the VPS services which simply have a public IP address. Essentially, I am trying to use basic networking in an advanced zone for some of my services.

 

I have created a basic network service offering (DHCP, User Data). I then created a shared network from this but am unable to connect VMs to this network during the process of creating a VM.

 

I am considering the idea of separating my VPS and Elastic Cloud services into separate zones (one basic, one advanced) if I can't achieve this. Ideally, I would prefer not to do this as it would mean running separate hypervisors.

 

Can anybody shed any light on this?

 

Regards

Hi Team,

system vm are starting up but on both instances i am getting below error. On Console proxy apache is not starting up by default and if i start it then getting 404. ISO are also not getting downloaded.

Hi Guys

I'm a beginner , i created a new zone with all relevant information necessary , it was successfully created , all primary and secondary storage are fine , cloudstack keeps creating countless systems VM's and moving them to primary storage , i counted up to 75 so for , i'd like to know if this is a normal behavior. i already have cleanup up the database and restarted the zone creation twice but the behavior continues.

 

 

regards

Can an Admin remove this topic? I already made a posted here

 

http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/371499-unable-to-add-xenserver-host-to-cloudstack/

i started to test cloud platofrm recently , i configured ,zone,pod , cluster , host , primary storage and secondary storage and its working normally ,  but when registering ISO images statues of it  "Template content is unsupported, or mismatch between selected format and template content. Found : HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines, with CRLF, LF line terminators"

 

Any idea how can i solve this problem 

 

Best Regards

 

 

Hello All,

 

I'm testing new solution for a private cloud and i'm confused about price for cloud platform , should i purchase both xenserver and cloud platform , or i can use free xenserver and purchase only cloud platform  

 

Thanks in advance
