Can't get past "Waiting for builtin templates to load..." when initially building my cloud

Hi:
 
I am attempting CloudStack Basic Installation (3.0.1) for the 
first time.
 
The CloudStack Management Server is running Centos 6.2.
 
The Hypervisor is XenServer 6.0.2. The XenServer installation
includes the two hotfixes for 6.0.2 and the CloudStack XenServer
Support Package (CSP).
 
My network is currently the CloudStack Management Server and
the XenServer.
 
>From XenCenter 6.0, I can see that xenserver1-cs has s-1-VM and 
v-2-VM. Both with green arrow heads.

I started the cloud provisioning from the GUI.

However, for the last 1.5 hours, the "Now building your cloud ..." window
is stuck on "Waiting for builtin templates to load...". The launch process 
doesn't appear to be finished. 
 
How do I get the initial launch of cloud provisioning to finish?

There is constant activity in these four log files in
/var/log/cloud/management:
  api-server.log
  management-server.log
  access_log.2012-06-01.txt
  catalina.out
However, I don't know what is important to provide to you to help
solve this problem.

Thanks for any help,

Evan Miller

Hi , 

I have been facing the same problem numerous number of times in the recent past but realized that this problem was perhaps due to the fact that the SSVM is not able to ping the management server ( it was taking a private IP by default) . If you check the logs and find a statement similar to this - " There is no secondary storage VM for secondary storage host nfs://172.17.1.2/export/secondary " , so that means your management server is not getting pinged from the SSVM. In that case if you manually change the management server IP to a public IP and open the port  ((UPDATE configuration SET value='public IP' WHERE name LIKE 'host') of MS in database configuration table ), SSVM is able to ping the MS and built-in template is downloaded successfully else  the timer just keeps on blinking on again and again. (NOTE - My MS was running on a oracle Vbox so it was taking a private IP by default) 


To check the SSVM health  , you might want to check the SSVM health by running this script - ./usr/local/cloud/systemvm/ssvm-check.sh 

If you get the output as shown below - First DNS server is 10.103.128.15
PING 10.103.128.15 (10.103.128.15): 56 data bytes

Re: FW: iptables rules in hypervisor

Posted by Jessica Tomechak <je...@gmail.com>.

Here's a better link for the Admin Guide.

http://download.cloud.com/releases/3.0.0/CloudStack3.0AdminGuide.pdf

The prerelease drafts page that Rajesh linked to was only for WIP drafts,
probably only of interest to writers and doc reviewers. There is no Admin
Guide draft under review there right now.

Cheers,

Re: debian in cloudstack with xenserver

Posted by Ahmad Emneina <Ah...@citrix.com>.

I personally don¹t use debian OS's but I believe what works is to install
it on a xenserver, not controlled by CloudStack, via xencenter. Then
locate the VHD and import that into cloudstack, selecting the correct
corresponding OS type, via the template creation dialog.
