How to change primary storage

Hello All,

 I installed CS 4.1 on ubuntu, with primary storage in /export/aa and secondary storage in /export/bb, both in the same hard disk as the management server of CS 4.1. The Ip of the server is  http://XXX.XXX.1.5.


 Recently, I configured the My Book Live Device, to the IP of http://XXX.XXX.1.20. I am able to mount this device to linux dir and view files on it.

 The CS 4.1 was installed before mounting this external My Book Live Device.

Now I want to change the primary storage of the IP address from http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to http://XXX.XXX.1.20. Also, I need to change the primary storage directory.

 Can, anybody provide insights, on which Mysql table, should I update for CS 4.1 setup. Or is there a procedure, to change the primary storage settings via the CS 4.1 web interface gui?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
D.Giriprasad

You have to change storage details in both storage_pool and image_store for primary and secondary storages respectively.

Thanks.

However, I find primary storage information stored in also:

use cloud;

select account_id , domain_id , pool_id, last_pool_id, instance_id, folder from volumes;


If I have to change the folder name manually, in the tables, what are all the tables, should I change.

Re: How to change primary storage

hi,

can you try updating the ip address(host_address) of your primary storage
in storage_pool table and check the logs for the storage status whether
things are working fine.

thanks.

Manually changing the db can help you but I prefer These steps ,  can be done  without any downtime .

1-add http://XXX.XXX.1.20 with /export/dd
2- migrate volumes from http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to http://XXX.XXX.1.20
3-put http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to maintains mode
4- remove http://XXX.XXX.1.5.

thanks

You can probably change the host_address field of the storage_pool table to change the IP address of your primary storage.

You will probably want to make sure you don't have any (non-deleted) volumes on the storage pool (primary storage) in question, though.

As you likely have seen, the volumes table is linked to the storage_pool table via the storage_pool.id and volumes.pool_id fields.

It might be easier for you to create new primary storage and migrate your volumes on the old primary storage to the new primary storage.

Manually changing the db can help you but I prefer These steps ,  can be done  without any downtime .

1-add http://XXX.XXX.1.20 with /export/dd
2- migrate volumes from http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to http://XXX.XXX.1.20
3-put http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to maintains mode
4- remove http://XXX.XXX.1.5.

You can probably change the host_address field of the storage_pool table to change the IP address of your primary storage.

You will probably want to make sure you don't have any (non-deleted) volumes on the storage pool (primary storage) in question, though.

As you likely have seen, the volumes table is linked to the storage_pool table via the storage_pool.id and volumes.pool_id fields.

It might be easier for you to create new primary storage and migrate your volumes on the old primary storage to the new primary storage.

Configure your disk as NAS storage so that you can use it for both primary and secondary storages in CS.

Hi Giri,

CS 4.1 does not support smfs for primary storage. So you can't add your external disk in your setup.

I have a new install of CS 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  I currently dont have any vm's or applications or volumes configured or running on the CS 4.1. Basically a freshly installed Ubuntu kernel and CS 4.1.


The storage setup on the Ubuntu host pc is

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary on /mnt/primary1

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/secondary on /mnt/secondary

The external disk (My Book Live disk) is configured as 

XXX.XXX.1.20:/nfs/Public/primary on /mnt/primary

    This external disk is configured in Linux host using : apt-get install smbfs. The external disk is mounting and is read/write-able in the Linux host.

Now, I want to add the external disk (XXX.XXX.1.20) as the primary storage and remove the (local hdd) primary storage XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary.

 So, if I just add the XXX.XXX.1.20  as the primary storage in CS, and remove 1.5:/export/primary will do? Or some other procedure?


Please take note that I have used only smfs, for mounting.


Regards,

RE: How to change primary storage

Posted by Sanjeev Neelarapu <sa...@citrix.com>.

Configure your disk as NAS storage so that you can use it for both primary and secondary storages in CS.

Hi Giri,

CS 4.1 does not support smfs for primary storage. So you can't add your external disk in your setup.

Subject: Re: How to change primary storage

I have a new install of CS 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  I currently dont have any vm's or applications or volumes configured or running on the CS 4.1. Basically a freshly installed Ubuntu kernel and CS 4.1.


The storage setup on the Ubuntu host pc is

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary on /mnt/primary1

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/secondary on /mnt/secondary

The external disk (My Book Live disk) is configured as 

XXX.XXX.1.20:/nfs/Public/primary on /mnt/primary

    This external disk is configured in Linux host using : apt-get install smbfs. The external disk is mounting and is read/write-able in the Linux host.

Now, I want to add the external disk (XXX.XXX.1.20) as the primary storage and remove the (local hdd) primary storage XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary.

 So, if I just add the XXX.XXX.1.20  as the primary storage in CS, and remove 1.5:/export/primary will do? Or some other procedure?


Please take note that I have used only smfs, for mounting.


Regards,

Manually changing the db can help you but I prefer These steps ,  can be done  without any downtime .

1-add http://XXX.XXX.1.20 with /export/dd
2- migrate volumes from http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to http://XXX.XXX.1.20 3-put http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to maintains mode
4- remove http://XXX.XXX.1.5.

You can probably change the host_address field of the storage_pool table to change the IP address of your primary storage.

You will probably want to make sure you don't have any (non-deleted) volumes on the storage pool (primary storage) in question, though.

As you likely have seen, the volumes table is linked to the storage_pool table via the storage_pool.id and volumes.pool_id fields.

It might be easier for you to create new primary storage and migrate your volumes on the old primary storage to the new primary storage.

I have a new install of CS 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  I currently dont have any vm's or applications or volumes configured or running on the CS 4.1. Basically a freshly installed Ubuntu kernel and CS 4.1.


The storage setup on the Ubuntu host pc is

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary on /mnt/primary1

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/secondary on /mnt/secondary

The external disk (My Book Live disk) is configured as 

XXX.XXX.1.20:/nfs/Public/primary on /mnt/primary

    This external disk is configured in Linux host using : apt-get install smbfs. The external disk is mounting and is read/write-able in the Linux host.

Now, I want to add the external disk (XXX.XXX.1.20) as the primary storage and remove the (local hdd) primary storage XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary.

 So, if I just add the XXX.XXX.1.20  as the primary storage in CS, and remove 1.5:/export/primary will do? Or some other procedure?


Please take note that I have used only smfs, for mounting.


Regards,

Manually changing the db can help you but I prefer These steps ,  can be done  without any downtime .

1-add http://XXX.XXX.1.20 with /export/dd
2- migrate volumes from http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to http://XXX.XXX.1.20 3-put http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to maintains mode
4- remove http://XXX.XXX.1.5.

You can probably change the host_address field of the storage_pool table to change the IP address of your primary storage.

You will probably want to make sure you don't have any (non-deleted) volumes on the storage pool (primary storage) in question, though.

As you likely have seen, the volumes table is linked to the storage_pool table via the storage_pool.id and volumes.pool_id fields.

It might be easier for you to create new primary storage and migrate your volumes on the old primary storage to the new primary storage.

Hi Giri,

CS 4.1 does not support smfs for primary storage. So you can't add your external disk in your setup.

Re: How to change primary storage

Posted by Giri Prasad <g_...@yahoo.com.INVALID>.

I have a new install of CS 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  I currently dont have any vm's or applications or volumes configured or running on the CS 4.1. Basically a freshly installed Ubuntu kernel and CS 4.1.


The storage setup on the Ubuntu host pc is

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary on /mnt/primary1

XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/secondary on /mnt/secondary

The external disk (My Book Live disk) is configured as 

XXX.XXX.1.20:/nfs/Public/primary on /mnt/primary

    This external disk is configured in Linux host using : apt-get install smbfs. The external disk is mounting and is read/write-able in the Linux host.

Now, I want to add the external disk (XXX.XXX.1.20) as the primary storage and remove the (local hdd) primary storage XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary.

 So, if I just add the XXX.XXX.1.20  as the primary storage in CS, and remove 1.5:/export/primary will do? Or some other procedure?


Please take note that I have used only smfs, for mounting.


Regards,

Manually changing the db can help you but I prefer These steps ,  can be done  without any downtime .

1-add http://XXX.XXX.1.20 with /export/dd
2- migrate volumes from http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to http://XXX.XXX.1.20
3-put http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to maintains mode
4- remove http://XXX.XXX.1.5.

You can probably change the host_address field of the storage_pool table to change the IP address of your primary storage.

You will probably want to make sure you don't have any (non-deleted) volumes on the storage pool (primary storage) in question, though.

As you likely have seen, the volumes table is linked to the storage_pool table via the storage_pool.id and volumes.pool_id fields.

It might be easier for you to create new primary storage and migrate your volumes on the old primary storage to the new primary storage.

Re: How to change primary storage

Posted by Punith S <pu...@cloudbyte.com>.

hi,

can you try updating the ip address(host_address) of your primary storage
in storage_pool table and check the logs for the storage status whether

Re: How to change primary storage

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.

You can probably change the host_address field of the storage_pool table to
change the IP address of your primary storage.

You will probably want to make sure you don't have any (non-deleted)
volumes on the storage pool (primary storage) in question, though.

As you likely have seen, the volumes table is linked to the storage_pool
table via the storage_pool.id and volumes.pool_id fields.

It might be easier for you to create new primary storage and migrate your
volumes on the old primary storage to the new primary storage.

Hello All,

 I installed CS 4.1 on ubuntu, with primary storage in /export/aa and secondary storage in /export/bb, both in the same hard disk as the management server of CS 4.1. The Ip of the server is  http://XXX.XXX.1.5.

 Recently, I configured the My Book Live Device, to the IP of http://XXX.XXX.1.20. I am able to mount this device to linux dir and view files on it.

 The CS 4.1 was installed before mounting this external My Book Live Device.

Now I want to change the primary storage of the IP address from http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to http://XXX.XXX.1.20. Also, I need to change the primary storage directory.

 Can, anybody provide insights, on which Mysql table, should I update for CS 4.1 setup. Or is there a procedure, to change the primary storage settings via the CS 4.1 web interface gui?

Thanks in advance.

 I installed CS 4.1 on ubuntu, with primary storage in /export/aa and secondary storage in /export/bb, both in the same hard disk as the management server of CS 4.1. The Ip of the server is  http://XXX.XXX.1.5.


 Recently, I configured the My Book Live Device, to the IP of http://XXX.XXX.1.20. I am able to mount this device to linux dir and view files on it.

 The CS 4.1 was installed before mounting this external My Book Live Device.

Now I want to change the primary storage of the IP address from http://XXX.XXX.1.5 to http://XXX.XXX.1.20. Also, I need to change the primary storage directory.

 Can, anybody provide insights, on which Mysql table, should I update for CS 4.1 setup. Or is there a procedure, to change the primary storage settings via the CS 4.1 web interface gui?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
D.Giriprasad

Hello,

Thanks for suggestion, which I will try.

Btw, I saw a lead as:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.cloudstack.user/7000
Which says :

when I've had issues deleting primary storages in the past, I've ended up having to delete
volumes that were still associated with the datastore from the cloud.volumes table.

Is cloud.volumes the mysql table, where all the primary/secondary storage setups are stored? Or what is the exact db.tablename which stores the primary/secondary storage setups?


Regards,
D.Giriprasad

I would suggest add you new  primary storage ,migrate volumes  from old storage to new storage and  then remove ur old primary storage after enabling  maintenance mode.

Thanks
Prashant
