quick systemvm question
How does cloudstack know which template is the latest system vm? Does
it match on name or something? From what I have gathered in the
upgrade docs, you simply register a new template, like any other, and
run a convenience script that restarts your system vms. But I don't
gather from this how cloudstack knows it's a system template (and
further THE system template).

Marcus,
Please have a look at findSystemVMTemplate in VmTemplateDaoImpl.java

Thanks, I'm looking at it from a different perspective, not a CS
upgrade, but say we have to roll a new systemvm template for an
existing CS version. Say we rolled 4.2, with a new template, and then
two months later we realize that the template is missing dnsmasq or
something, and we have to have everyone install a new template. Do we
actually have to overwrite the existing template in-place on secondary
storage, then on each primary storage while the system vms are down?
Or can we register a new template, and the new template gets installed
on primary storage as system vms are rebooted.
I saw that the upgrade scripts had that 'select max' statement, but
that just fetches the id for installing the template to secondary
storage. When I deploy a router, how does cloudstack select the
template for that?

Marcus,
(1) cloud-install-sys-tmplt update the template with max(id)
select max(id) from cloud.vm_template where type = \"SYSTEM\" and
hypervisor_type = \"KVM\" and removed is null"`
(2) upgrade process update the template with specified name. in
Upgrade410to420.java
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("select id from `cloud`.`vm_template` where
name like 'systemvm-xenserver-4.2' and removed is null order by id desc
limit 1");
We are discussing in another thread "git commit: updated refs/heads/master
to 9fe7846". Please join us.
