Summary: Simulator: Virtual Router fails to start because of improper version returned by GetDomRVersion Key: CLOUDSTACK-5124 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-5124 Project: CloudStack Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.) Reporter: Prasanna Santhanam Priority: Critical With the introduction of changes to allow older VRs (pre-4.2.0) to work with newer version of CloudStack we return some details as part of GetDomRVersionAnswer that result in failure of VR start in the simulator. The simulator returns a bare answer as below: GetDomRVersionAnswer: {"com.cloud.agent.api.GetDomRVersionAnswer":{"result":true,"wait":0}} Following exception is encountered: 2013-11-11 11:58:46,634 ERROR [c.c.v.VirtualMachineManagerImpl] (Job-Executor-12:ctx-400bddf7 ctx-fadf110f) Failed to start instance VM[User|a] java.lang.NullPointerException at com.cloud.maint.Version.trimRouterVersion(Version.java:63) at com.cloud.network.router.VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.checkRouterVersion(VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.java:4070) at com.cloud.network.router.VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.sendCommandsToRouter(VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.java:3435) at com.cloud.network.router.VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl$7.execute(VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.java:2872) at com.cloud.network.router.VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.applyRules(VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.java:3721) at com.cloud.network.router.VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.applyDhcpEntry(VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl.java:2864) This is corrected by returning the following answer: {"com.cloud.agent.api.GetDomRVersionAnswer":{"templateVersion":"CloudStack Release 4.2.0","scriptsVersion":"708eb2e4-f651-4d01-9ecc-0d61f62560cb","result":true,"wait":0}} The default version in the case of a real deployment is fetched from within the packaged VR. But since the simulator has no such notion, we'll return a default string of '4.2.0' to allow CloudStack to move on. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
