I'm not sure how this applies to my reservations. The query/check/update and representations to the user about state are a separate matter entirely from configuration. When we want to know if a VM is running, obviously the host running the VM is the canonical source (this is about state, not config

When it starts the SSVM, I usually see the management server include the bridge names in the command it sends to the agent. If it asks the agent for these, then cloudstack no longer needs the traffic labels when setting up a zone or physical network. If it's not asking the agent (i.e. if they're in

What's the process exactly when the management server adds a host? Does it ssh in run cloud-setup-agent, then start the agent? Is it viable to manage agent.properties on your own when it really needs to be in sync with what the management server (and cloud) knows about? For example you can't just c

Hi, I was looking into the Agent setup and configuration today and found out that this is quit outdated. All the documentation is still pointing to the cloud-setup-agent tool, but do we still want that? On my systems this tool seems to brake more then you want. I'm working on fixing most o
