Please let's not reinvent the wheel. See pfsense, vrrp/carp, and pfsync. A redundant iptables solution doesn't spring to mind but it already exists no doubt.

Given what appears to be a serious (though probably simple) bug in CentOS/RHEL 6.3 and libvirt 0.9.10-21.el6 I don't know how ANYONE has VLANs working (bonded or otherwise) in a KVM environment. I've opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849766 Anyone here with an actual, workin

'cloudVirBr' is hard-coded in /usr/lib[64]/cloud/agent/scripts/vm/network/vnet/modifyvlan.sh in function addVlan(). What I don't understand is how the script is even working. It does vconfig add ethN V brctl addbr brV brctl addif brV ethN.V Furthermore, in scripts/storage/qcow2/modifyvlan.s

RE: Local storage support for data volumes

2012-08-13 Thread Matthew Patton
Unfortunately this caught my eye. " n disabled existing local storages are not removed but any new local storage is not added." This qualifies as interference. Cloud software must always reflect reality. This whole distinction between root or data being allowed as local was none of CS' business

RE: Review Request: Fix CS-15603

2012-08-13 Thread Matthew Patton
This it's yet another case of misleading the user and lying about system state. The deletion flat out failed. CS should say so. if anything create a job in the queue and retry the operation a number of times if you want. But the state is "pending deletion" until it actually executes.

I would kill for block based snapshots and source virtual disks instead of the apparent penchant for doing everything as files on a filesystem. How can it be that hard to use LVM snaps?

When you host more than a few customers who rightfully expect their traffic to be private you quickly run out of physical network cards. You don't need fancy switches. Even the 100 dollar specials do VLANs. Only if you want to en force selective separation will you need to shell out the princel
