Global Settings: host and System VM's

[Pierre-Luc Dion <pd...@cloudops.com>]

Hi,

We have setup a private cloud with multiple Cloudstack nodes. It is fairly
easy to load-balance webui and API queries, but, I've recently discovered
that SystemVM's have a static route to a cloudstack node ( the first one we
put in place). Also their is a Global Setttings "host" which contain the IP
of our initial cloudstack node.

Do we have to change this "host" config to a load-balanced IP for the
system API call on TCP:8250 ? Also, is their existing documentation on how
to use the secure port instead which would be tcp:3922 ?


Thanks,

Pierre-Luc,

You are correct in your assumption that the 'host' global setting needs to be changed to the LB VIP for 8250 traffic, then you need to restart the management service, then stop and start each System VM so they load the new settings - do not simply re-start the System VMs, they will not load the new Global Setting
