Cluster With two XenServer
Hi,
I've Created XenServer Cluster with two Host ( XS 6.0.2 ) , the system VMs
( ssvm and cpvm ) and virtual router are created fine in the first host,
and I've succeded to launch VMs in the first host.
But when I tried to launch VMs in the second Host, the VMs always remains
unreachable .
I've checked the traffic connection and I found that the VMs in the Second
host can't reach the Virtual router in the First Host , because the VM and
Virtual Router are in seperate Link local network. So that why the VMs in
the Second Host will not get an IP address after a DHCP discover from the
Virtual Router.
My question is : is it a normal behavior that within a cluster , a VM in a
Host B can't reach a virtual router in a Host A., did I miss some
configuration in creating a pool of XenServer ?
Best Regards.

Ahmad is right, the most common cause for this is switch
misconfiguration. Make sure the XS hosts are connected to switch ports
in trunk mode and that all the necessary VLANs are allowed on those
ports. If the switch ports are definitely configured correctly, confirm
that the XS hosts are connected to the correct ports (and not, e.g. one
in access mode).
If you are using bonding on the XS hosts, make sure that the switch
ports are configured accordingly. The default SLB mode and the
active-passive modes will probably not work if the switch ports are
configured for LACP, Etherchannel, 802.3ad, etc.. If the NICs in the
bond are connected to different non-stacked switches, use active-passive
and not SLB.
Other possible problems include:
Broken drivers - Check for any driver updates for your XenServer
version. If that doesn't help or doesn't apply, try a different NIC
(Intel or Broadcom, with updated drivers if applicable).
Open vSwitch problems - Change to bridge back-end temporarily (run
xe-switch-network-backend bridge and reboot both hosts) to see if the
problem is fixed. If that helps, install all XS patches supported by
CloudStack and try Open vSwitch again.
Best regards,
Kirk

Hey Tawfq,
It could be a switch configuration issue. Make sure you trunk what you
defined for your zone vlans, to each physical switch port the xen hosts are
connected to. The guests get their private l2 network created by pulling
from a pool you define in the zone vlan range...

Yes, this deployed with advanced configuration. Even , i checked the setup
configuration and i found that guest traffic is enabled.
The problem that router DHCP discover available only within the hosts not
all the cluster , so the other XenServers in the pool can't see anything
from the router.
So , is there any others configurations have to be done for XenServers Pool
?

Is this using a basic or advanced zone. This is definitely NOT how it
should work :)
VM's across a zone, within the same account, should be able to reach each
other... when deployed to the same network.
