Adding Hosts to XenCenter Pool
So I am running XenCenter and I am trying to create a second pool to add hosts to but when I join the pool the errors are coming up
The server joining the pool must have a physical management NIC (i.e. the management NIC must not be on a VLAN or bonded PIF)
I have 6 nics
2 on board 1GB NIC ( LACP BOND with port channel to two different nexus 5k) MGMT
2 10GB NIC ( LACP BOND with port channel to two different nexus 5k) Primary storage
2 10GB NIC ( LACP BOND with port channel to two different nexus 5k) Sec Storage & Guest & Public traffic
Everything looks good outside of a xenserver pool the minute I want to add to a pool I get the above error.
I am on CS 4.5.0 XS 6.5
Maybe I should ask this to XenServer but I use CloudStack and I seen someone talk about XenServer MGMT LACP a couple weeks ago but I don't think I seen a good answer on if it works or not.
I'm confused why it doesn't work.

Thanks a ton for going through this with me. It's awesome when you get help on a user group.

Subject: RE: Adding Hosts to XenCenter Pool
Ok so done all host have been added to the new pool with bonded mgmt. And all updates have been applied.
Next step is to attach iscsi storage to the new pool.
After storage Luns show up I'll setup HA on the pool.
Then add the new hosts to cs.
My next question is. I plan on decommissioning my current pool and setting up a test environment with the hosts as right now I don't have a full test server farm host pool whmcs setup.
I think I can just add xen3 with correct root Pw. Will it poll the pool and add all the hosts or will it only add one.
I've already setup all my network tags to match and validated I can ping primary and secondary storage and my cs management servers.

Subject: Re: Adding Hosts to XenCenter Pool
On the switch side, you need to configure the port channel to LACP passive mode. On the Xen Server side, you need to take out all bond configurations, and assign mgmt. IP directly to NIC4. Once xen4 joins the pool, its mgmt. IP will now be assigned to Bond4+5, and you can manually assign IPs to other newly created bonds on Xen4.

The problem is that for Xen1 and Xen2, the mgmt. interface is NIC4, while for Xen3, the mgmt. interface is Bond4+5. According to docs, incoming server should not have any bond configurations, it will automatically get those from the pool once it becomes a pool member.
What you need to do is 1) wipe out all bond assignments on Xen3; 2) assign mgmt. IP to NIC4, 3) join Xen3 into the pool. You can assign any storage IPs for Xen3 after it has joint the pool.

PS: if this is a brand new pool, I would recommend that you rebuild the pool so that the mgmt. NIC is also a bond.

Indeed, this is XenServer-specific.
Start with one host meant to be the initial pool-master. Say: configure these trunks and networks on just this single host. Don't forget to label these networks to meet the respective ACS labels.
If you'ld like add this host to ACS. Can be done now or later.
Additional hosts meant as additional pool-members shouldn't be configured. Just do a simple installation and define the hosts management IP *on one of the meant-to-be MGMT trunk-ports*.
Join the addtitional host to the pool-master and you're done. The pool- configuration will be populated to all new pool-members. I'ld recommend to use the identical NICs on every host - that's way easier.

What you need to do is 1) wipe out all bond assignments on Xen3; 2) assign mgmt. IP to NIC4, 3) join Xen3 into the pool. You can assign any storage IPs for Xen3 after it has joint the pool.
Yiping
PS: if this is a brand new pool, I would recommend that you rebuild the pool so that the mgmt. NIC is also a bond.

Xen3 is the server I want to add to the pool of xen1 and xen2
I see my Management is setup on all three IP's are reachable since my xencenter server can see everything for both groups of servers.
Only difference is Management is called MGMT as network label on my current pool and Bond 4+5 on the new hosts I want to add.

That is the error I get when I try to join the pool.

Indeed, this is XenServer-specific.
Start with one host meant to be the initial pool-master. Say: configure these trunks and networks on just this single host. Don't forget to label these networks to meet the respective ACS labels.
If you'ld like add this host to ACS. Can be done now or later.
Additional hosts meant as additional pool-members shouldn't be configured. Just do a simple installation and define the hosts management IP *on one of the meant-to-be MGMT trunk-ports*.
Join the addtitional host to the pool-master and you're done. The pool- configuration will be populated to all new pool-members. I'ld recommend to use the identical NICs on every host - that's way easier.

RE: Adding Hosts to XenCenter Pool
Posted by Jeremy Peterson <jp...@acentek.net>.
Ok so I created a new pool. Added Xen3
Then tried to add Xen4 once that works I'll add Xen5 Xen6 then add to cloudstack.
http://screencast.com/t/LNPu9XchUU
You can see Xen3's config and Xen4
Xen3 is pool master. I need to add Xen4 and more still same error.

The problem is that for Xen1 and Xen2, the mgmt. interface is NIC4, while for Xen3, the mgmt. interface is Bond4+5. According to docs, incoming server should not have any bond configurations, it will automatically get those from the pool once it becomes a pool member.
What you need to do is 1) wipe out all bond assignments on Xen3; 2) assign mgmt. IP to NIC4, 3) join Xen3 into the pool. You can assign any storage IPs for Xen3 after it has joint the pool.
