Problem Adding the Host

Hi,

I just installed the apache cloudstack on CentOS 6.8 machine with KVM hypervisor. I am using the version 4.9 of the cloudstack. The management server is up and running and but I am unable to add the instances from the web UI interface. I have put down my problem in detail on this SO question<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42704388/apache-cloudstack-no-templates-showing-when-adding-instance>. Can you please guide me how do I solve this problem?


Regards

Adeel

Re: Problem Adding the Host

Posted by Lucas Berri Cristofolini <lu...@gmail.com>.
I think the 'tutorial' Muhammad is referring to is this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking#Private_Virtual_Switch_.28Guest-Only_Network.29

In which case, as far as the specific section Rafael linked, there isn't
anything Ubuntu-specific and should work for any Linux distribution.

Re: Problem Adding the Host

Posted by Muhammad Adeel Zahid <16...@lums.edu.pk>.
I am not sure, I understand it in entirety but I can see the big picture nevertheless. A bit of terminology confuses me. When you say the virtual box, do you take the assumption that I am using some kind of VM like VMWare or something for installing KVM and ACS?

To clarify a bit, I have installed ACS and KVM natively on a single machine and this single machine is acting both as management server and KVM. I am banking on ACS and KVM to do all the virtualization. Before this there is no virtual machine.

Ok, I think you can take a look here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking#Private_Virtual_Switch_.28Guest-Only_Network.29

What I meant is the following: create four networks of that type. These
networks will be between your KVM box and the VMs, which will run ACS, NFS,
and hypervisors hosts (KVM?). Let’s call them Network1, Network2, Network3,
Network4.

You then attach each one of these VMs in each one of the networks, every VM
will have 4 NICs. Then, you select a network to be the public one (let’s
say network 4). Then, you can create a forwarding rule for your KVM box, to
forward packets from the public network (network 4) to the world. Your box
will then work as a router for the VMs public network. Do not forget, that
the NIC attached Network 4 has to be the Public NIC configured in ACS.

I have created an environment just like that using Virtualbox, I used 4
VMs, one for ACS, one for the NFS, and two for hosts (I used XenServer)

Did you understand what I tried to explain?

Re: Problem Adding the Host

Why are tyring to use external network system?


To gain the internet access for download/install all  the required ACS pacakges.


You can configure 4 virtual network devices........

I am not sure, I understand this part. I am very new to Linux environment and don't know how to do what you just said. Can you point me to some relevant readings/tutorials for the said configuration so I can keep bothering frequently [??]

Hmm, so why are trying to use the external network system?

You can configure 4 virtual network devices between your host and the
virtual machines you created to deploy ACS (attach ACS and hosts VMs to
these networks). Then, you select one of these networks to be the public
one. For the public network, you can create iptables (or other routing
mechanism) to forward packets coming from the public virtual network to
your box public network. Then, you would be independent of the external
network.

Re: Problem Adding the Host

Posted by Rafael Weingärtner <ra...@gmail.com>.
Hmm, so why are trying to use the external network system?

You can configure 4 virtual network devices between your host and the
virtual machines you created to deploy ACS (attach ACS and hosts VMs to
these networks). Then, you select one of these networks to be the public
one. For the public network, you can create iptables (or other routing
mechanism) to forward packets coming from the public virtual network to
your box public network. Then, you would be independent of the external
network.

I am just creating the environment for testing purposes and I am behind a network on which I have no control.

Re: Problem Adding the Host

Yep, my SSVM is running and I can connect to it using ssh from the management server.  The mount problem is solved by stopping the Iptables service on the nfs server. After that, SSVM was able to mount the storage successfully.

Next problem I am having is that the SSVM fails when downloading the template. It cannot resolve the dns for download.cloud.com, which is understandable to me because, as I posted the EDIT 1 in my SO question, My CentOS machine (only one machine running both management server and kvm) is connected to a windows network that assigns addresses using dhcp. Even worse, the addresses are /23.


To work around the problem, I do not change the network configuration (static IP of /24) until I install the required packages. Because if I do, I lose the internet connection that comes through /23 network. So when all my packages are installed, I change the IP to static like 172.16.10.2 (same as in the guide) which obviously disconnects me from internet. After that I run the database setup, management setup and agent setup as described in the guide. Everything is working fine but tmpelates fail to download due to this network & IP problem.


Any ideas, what are the options for me under given constraints?


Regards

Adeel

Is your SSVM running? Does it have access to the world? Do your hosts have
access to the primary/secondary storage? Have you tried to mount the
storage mounts in your hosts manually to check if they are working?
