I've CCed Edison on this. I think he has a bunch of experience with S3 and Swift integration into CloudStack. On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 11:46 AM, Francois Gaudreault < fgaudrea...@cloudops.com> wrote: > Ok. I digged a little more, and now I know why it fails, but don't know > how to fix this :) I

Ok. I digged a little more, and now I know why it fails, but don't know how to fix this :) I opened a defect: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7406 To me this is a fairly important one since is does have impacts on other features (e.g SF storage plugin, and maybe usage reporting

As an FYI, the reason this still works for "traditional" (so-called non-managed) primary storage in CloudStack on XenServer is that those environments put many CloudStack root and data disks on the same backend SAN volume (or NFS share). Even if the size of the root disk is incorrectly specified,

Just to clarify: "Mark" is really me: "Mike" :) I give Daan a hard time about this. :) He called me Mark at CCCEU in Denver a few times during a presentation and it seems like that's been like a second name for me. On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 10:27 AM, Francois Gaudreault < fgaudrea...@cloudops.com>

Mark and I worked on that off-list, and it looks like it's a Swift provider issue. See, in ACS, when you use NFS, the reported template size is the ROOT volume size. While using swift, it's the VHD file size, which is not the ROOT volume size. SolidFire will rely on this metric to create the L

I would also add that the ROOT volume created stayed on the SF cluster, even if the VM creation failed. That's also a problem, although I believe the "storage garbage collector" would delete it? FG On 2014-08-22, 11:39 AM, Francois Gaudreault wrote: Hi Mike, I tryed the SolidFire plugin on 4

Hi Francois, Interesting...all of my tests on XS 6.1 and 6.2 check out just fine (but that is with CS 4.4). I'll contact you off list and we can work this out. Thanks, Mike On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 9:44 AM, Francois Gaudreault < fgaudrea...@cloudops.com> wrote: > I would also add that the ROOT

2014-08-22 Thread Francois Gaudreault
Hi Mike, I tryed the SolidFire plugin on 4.4.1, and I don't think the behavior is right for the ROOT volume. Tried on XenServer 6.2. First, I am using a template with technically a 20GB space, but the storage plugin will create the volume only according to the size of the vhd (which is 3GB).
