NetScaler VPX 10 VM wont boot using CS 4.1
Hi,
I loaded a new template of a NS VPX VM and I'm trying to build a new VM with it.
I need the NSIP on one physical interface and a MIP on a different one.
I can't find a way to build the VM so that the NSIP interface is the first devices for the VM. Always comes up as the second device regardless of which interface is set as default.
I'm forced to build the VM with one NIC and then use cloudmonkey to add the second NIC.
That might be one of the issues, but I can't be certain. The VM hangs at this point: "ata1: reinit done .."
Has anyone found a way around any of these issues?
Dave

Myself and my co-worker voted for it ;-)
We ended up running this command:
xe vm-cd-remove uuid=<VM-UUID> cd-name=xs-tools.iso
You have to have something in the drive before it can be removed.
After that the NS appliance boots right up.

Hi, Dave. CloudStack will always create a virtual CD/DVD drive for VMs.
This is a known limitation. I've filed an enhancement request for this
here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4197
As a workaround, if possible try XenServer 6.0.2 since the NetScaler appliance seems to work on it even with a CD drive.
Best regards,
Kirk

CS is automatically assigning a DVD drive. When I manually load the template on a non-CS controlled host it works perfectly.
I verified it does not have a DVD assigned. Once I create a DVD and reboot the VM it fails the exact same way.
I'm going to use this article to hopefully preserve the aspects of the template and not create the DVD.

Hi,
Did you follow this article to do this?
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX132014
I think in your case, the VM is taking first boot device as CDROM. After you deploy from CS, can you directly try manually selecting boot option?

Hi,
Did you follow this article to do this?

I think in your case, the VM is taking first boot device as CDROM. After
you deploy from CS, can you directly try manually selecting boot option?
