Generating OS Templates
I know its an novice question, but I haven't found in the
documentation the best way to get this.
I'd like to generate template for CentOS 6.4 / Debian 7.1 / Ubuntu
12.04 with xenserver tools installed and password enabled.
What is the best way to generate this templates? Any documentation or
tutorial some could point would help very much.
Thank you,
Celso Fernandes

is this for a basic zone? also dependent on version, what one can do is
from infrastructure:
navigate to zone -> physical network -> guest network and here's the
tricky
part (assuming no vm's are deployed) add a non overlapping range, delete
the original range, and possibly readd a segment of the deleted range.
hope
that helps.

Changing the Guest Network IP Range in a POD
Posted by JS...@h2l.com.
The web interface allows you to change the Pod's IP Range for the Reserved
System IPs in the 'Details' tab. I can view, but not modify the Guest
Network IP Range, under the 'IP Allocations' tab in the Pod? I would like
to change this address range. How do I go about doing this? Where can I
make the change?
Thanks,

Re: Generating OS Templates
Posted by Kirk Kosinski <ki...@gmail.com>.
Hi, the problem you saw probably happened because Ubuntu cannot be
installed in PV mode from ISO on XenServer. A PV mode Ubuntu
installation must be network-based, which is not possible with
CloudStack. Your workaround is the recommended solution: perform a
network-based installation of Ubuntu on a standalone XenServer host and
import the resulting VHD into CloudStack as a template.
Best regards,
Kirk

Re: Generating OS Templates
Posted by Carlos Reategui <ca...@reategui.com>.
I've found that it is easier to do with a separate host that is not part of
cloudstack. I keep a standalone Xenserver around to create the templates.
Unfortunately this is not a completely automated (I do have some
automation using kickstart).
For some reason I have not been successful at importing an ISO and booting
an instance from that on Cloudstack. Maybe it is because I was trying to
use Ubuntu 12.04 ISO which was not officially supported by CS4.0 nor
XS6.0.2.
I would prefer to have a process like what I do for my centos images for
AWS where I create a file based filesystem using dd/mkfs and then mount and
install to it using yum to create what is essentially a raw disk file. I
tried to use the vbox tools to create a vhd from this but was not
successful.
For ubuntu does someone know how to convert one of these to a vhd:
http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/server/ ?

The best way I did this way was install in a standalone XenServer
using XenCenter then export the VHD image. I believe that doing the
same procedure with console via console proxy system vm can be ok too
(but I haven't done this way - In XenServer we have a more "automated"
way to create machines).

You need to attach an ISO from secondary storage to the machine,
install then convert to template.

Hi Sanjay and all,
What if we don't have any VMs running with the mentioned OS types yet? How
can we prepare the first template?
Do I need to download the ISO, attach to VM, and then convert to template?
Is it possible?
Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

Yes you can use vhd-util for xen and qcow2 for kvm. See the example in
tools/appliance/build.sh. This is a veewee+Vagrant definition of the
systemvm built from Debian ISO.
This works only with Vagrant(1.0) and not 1.1+. For 1.1 + you can
check the tool by mitchellh (packer)

yes - you can use a shell script though to do a puppet apply. i fall
back on vagrant instead since vagrant already can provision using
puppet.
$ packer build template.json
$ vagrant add template.box template
$ vagrant up/vagrant provision (rinse/repeat)

Hi Prasanna,
Didn't understand where you puppet provisioning is absent, on packer?

Re: Generating OS Templates
Posted by Prasanna Santhanam <ts...@apache.org>.
Agreed this is something I'd like to see in our test pipeline too and
integrated into our internal clouds. Managing multiple templates can
be messy. Once I finish off some 4.2 related stuff I'll look at
implementing a CloudStack provider for packer in Go. Right now puppet
provisioning is absent as well making it a bit difficult to configure
the templates with a puppetmaster. So perhaps by the time we get to
this, there will be support in packer

We have an automated process for deploying code onto existing hosts, it would be cool to have it just build an image instead.

Yes I opened that issue with packer. Would love to see that support and use it with a continuous integration automation pipeline.

Celso,
There's an issue on the packer [1] github that you may be interested in if
you plan on building support for CS. I've been playing around with
packer for the last few weeks and find it quite stable for a version 0.1
tool and since it's by the Vagrant author himself I think it'll get
good traction in the future.

Yeah, I'm looking at packer, the only problem its written in Go, I
though its in Ruby like Vagrant, so this can make things slower for
me, need to learn Go first ;)

Celso,
There's an issue on the packer [1] github that you may be interested in if
you plan on building support for CS. I've been playing around with
packer for the last few weeks and find it quite stable for a version 0.1
tool and since it's by the Vagrant author himself I think it'll get
good traction in the future.

Christian,
I've been using veewee to generate vagrant boxes in a while, for me is
much better to develop something based on this and automate to import
on Cloudstack instead of develop something from scratch.
Prasanna,
Thank you for the point.. Packer seems a really cool to do this task,
I'm gonna try to make a plugin for XenServer, once it worked I try
something specific to CloudStack, thank you for point me into this
direction.
Thank you all for replies,

There are no providers for CloudStack yet in these projects
(vagrant/packer). Only for AWS, vmware fusion, vbox and possibly
openstack. So you'll have to convert to vhd manually and then import
as template and then muck around with the networking a little bit to
get it right.

Hi Sanjay, thank you for your reply,
I thought were some more automated process like Veewee does for
Vagrant boxes. Is there any way to convert Vagrant boxes to XenServer
ones? So would be much more simpler to automate the process. I'm gonna
search for some info and test, then publish any result I got.

RE: Generating OS Templates
Posted by Sanjay Tripathi <sa...@citrix.com>.
If you have VMs running with the mentioned OS types, first stop those VMs then go to "Storage" tab in the CS UI and select the ROOT disk of the VM for which you want to create the template.
There you'll get the option to create template from that ROOT volume.
And VM should have xenserver tools installed to reflect it in the template.
