Hi everyone. I have a quick question for those of you who are familiar with Linstor on CS. I want to use zfs on the nodes, is the zpool creation enough or do I need to also create a zvol on it before I create the actual Linstor pool? I remember trying something like this at one point and I think there were issues, like no snapshots in CS because "raw disk" and, for some reason, no HA, but I don't remember what was the faulty scenario.

Thank you!

Hello, please help me.

I have installed cloudstack 4.17 one fine day I issued an issue from management I couldn't console the VM instance.

Note Erorr : IP.domain name. 's server IP address could not be found.

Hi,

I can read from the documentation: https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/networking.html#network-service-providers
that host-based network service provider devices are severely limited.

According to the documentation table, does this mean that I cannot use for example two FreeBSD VMs as firewalls for another network behind each FreeBSD instance?
Meaning that without using a vendor appliance, I would be forced to use the Cloudstack virtual router for this instead? Not that this is bad design, the virtual router may be highly optimized for this kind of thing.

Let's say I want to use Cloudstack to create demo production environments to replicate what would be going in a bare-metal environment, being able to use a FreeBSD / Linux VM as a gateway or firewall can come in handy. So, is this possible?

Thank you

Hi,

I was wondering if someone happen to know this issue and know how to deal with it.

I have 2 storage pools but there is no vm's or templates/iso's associated with it but I cannot delete them. There is no delete button however it is not in use.

And after re-adding a host into a new zone, the system vm's are stuck in create/delete loop for some reason.

Did anyone encounter these 2 issues? If so, how to resolve it?

Otherwise I'll have to reinstall the whole Management server and do it right at the first try, there isn't much on it :) But would prefer to know in case it happens again in the future when it is fully in use.

Thank you!

Does anyone have a bulletproof procedure for building a Cloudstack server?

I have deployed a single host cloudstack environment for lab purposes using KVM as a hypervisor.

I am trying to update the qemu-kvm boot options for VM's, specifically, I want to pass "-vga std" or "-vga qxl" to increase the default resolution on desktop VMs running within CloudStack.

All VM's currently booting with "-vga cirrus" which limits the emulated graphics to 1280x1024x16

Anyone done similar and can advise?

I am trying to install cloudstack on two VirtualBox VM's (one as the gateway and one where I do the entire quickstart guide for CentOS). I made sure to follow the guide verbatim and was very careful to follow every step. Despite this, I have now twice got stuck at the "Adding Host" part of initial setup. A screenshot can be seen below. I did see a notification saying something about it not being able to connect to the management server, but that doesn't make sense since it is the same machine. I don't really know what I am doing wrong because I am following EVERYTHING quite literally to the letter.

Can anyone help me out?

Ladies and gents,

TL;DR : primary storage over nfs works, secondary storage over nfs doesn't. Same server, single VM for management, no idea what is going on anymore, need help.

Long version: Been at this for several days, good chunk of those could have been saved if I had known it takes a while for cloudstack to initialize the first time around.

Anyways, I got it up and running, single physical server, Alma Linux, QEMU KVM installed, installed the agent and got the nfs exports setup on this one. Setup a VM, same alma linux, install management on there.

First the agent service died for no reason while I was fiddling with virt-install to setup the VM. Restarted the host, agent service came up alright. Setting up the zone, the agent died again, code 143 this time. Start it up again, lived, zone addition completed. Went to add iso file, and was told no secondary storage. Triple checked, re-added it via GUI, still nothing.

Created a volume just for giggles, that wrote to primary storage fine, checked it on the NFS server.

So, same server, same config, 2 nfs exports, same target, one mounts fine, the other doesn't. What gives? Also, I'm pretty stupid and new to cloudstack, but how come the management VM doesn't show up under list of instances nor system VMs? There are 2 entries under system VMs and both says "starting", but virsh list on the KVM host doesn't show it.

We faced a problem with VRRP running on guest machines in our Cloudstack 4.13.0.0 cluste with KVM as a hypervisor. We are using Security Groups in which multicast is enabled for VRRP. EBTables is empty. Also there is no virtual router in the network where we are trying to configure VRRP as it is a non-routable subnet for communication between several guest machines. For some reason we can't resole VRRP VIP by ARP. Are there any limitations for using VRRP in Cloudstack? What can be the reason of this?

Hi everyone,

I am a student of Computer Engineering and looking for resources on how to get started in creating a cloud based SaaS product, with functionality such as:

1. Monitoring the users inbox such as gmail, outlook (I imagine web based tools would be unable to interface with email clients installed on an operating system but could interface with web based email clients).
2. Performing an action when a certain email is received. (Such as creating a Google drive folder)
3. Automatically send text of email based on certain triggers.
4. Interface with APIs such as Amazon MWS API

I know most of this can be done on Python on my laptop but how do I approach this for cloud based? I have read that Python can be used in conjunction with MongoDB as a documented oriented database, but really struggling to find anything to get me started.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a paid research team to answer anyone's burning questions on cloud computing infrastructure /legacy transfer/ anything you'd like to know. We've got some ideas in mind, but still 6 months ahead to set aside to help make everyone's lives in the cloud a little easier. Any deep dive in particular you wish was available? Let us know! Looking to make the content we all WISH was already out there.
