Template incorrectly reports HUGE size

2013-06-21 Thread j...@millican.us

Hello,
I have a shiny new cloudstack install and have just uploaded an Ubuntu 
template to it.  The template was created as a qcow2 KVM VM on a vanilla 
Ubuntu 13.04 (Linux alpha 3.8.0-23-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 29 
20:22:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).  I built it wil an 
8GB disk size but in cloudstack templates view it is showing as 
755.64TB, just a bit bigger than the original 8GB. I did not gzip the VM 
when I uploaded it. Any thoughts on what to look at to see why this is 
happening?
CloudStack environment is all Ubuntu 12.04.2(Linux charon 
3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with NFS for storage.

Thanks,

Load balance in basic network model

2013-06-26 Thread j...@millican.us

Hello,
I am running CloudStack 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 with KVM for hypervisors 
and am using NFS for primary and secondary storage.
I am currently running Basic Networking model and would like to have two 
VMs on separate hosts load balanced.
I see in the network section of Service Offerings "Default Isolated 
Network Offering With Source NAT Service" and
under System Offering for "System Offering for Elastic LB VM"  But am 
not able to find anyway to use them.
I have Googled the heck out of this and have found many post that say 
this is doable but none that give any examples or "how to" instructions.


It would also be nice to have the System VMs and routers be redundant so 
that if a host fails it will automatically fail over to the other host 
with as little down time as possible.  Again I see lots of talk about 
this but nothing to show how to do it.


Even a simple pointer to where I can find example or a how to would be 
great. I have read the admin guide at 
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.1.0/html/Admin_Guide/ 
  and am not finding my answers.


Thanks
JohnM
