[01:19:55] <jduggan> god damnit
[01:20:02] <jduggan> any xenserver wizards here? :(
[01:21:41] <kreignAFK> jduggan, we all pretend to limited degrees.
[01:21:47] <kreignAFK> sup
[01:22:19] <jduggan> kreignAFK:
[01:22:35] <jduggan> i shut down a pool node (which had no running vms on it)
[01:22:45] <jduggan> boot back up
[01:23:01] <jduggan> now it thinks vms are open on the pool master (which is the only other node)
[01:23:20] <kreignAFK> ... VMs are open (running?) on the pool master... are they?
[01:23:27] <kreignAFK> what exactly are you seeing
[01:23:29] <jduggan> nope
[01:23:30] <jduggan> [root@ashcloud5 ~]# xe vm-start vm=Flodrive_R1
[01:23:30] <jduggan> The server failed to handle your request, due to an internal error.  The given message may give details useful for debugging the problem.

[01:23:42] <jduggan> its a 2 server pool
[01:23:56] <jduggan> its not running on either host
[01:26:04] <kreignAFK> are you using shared storage?
[01:26:09] <jduggan> yep, nfs
[01:26:28] <kreignAFK> so a 3rd host somewhere, ok
[01:27:02] <kreignAFK> and you're starting it on the master or the rebooted server?
[01:27:07] <jduggan> rebooted server
[01:27:10] <jduggan> it starts fien on the master
[01:27:30] <jduggan> some of the vms will move to the rebooted server
[01:27:32] <jduggan> but not all
[01:27:36] <jduggan> and i cant figure out whats different
[01:28:08] <jduggan> ive even created a new nfs store
[01:28:12] <jduggan> attached to the pool
[01:28:15] <jduggan> created a new vm
[01:28:22] <jduggan> and it wont start on the rebooted server
[01:28:22] <kreignAFK> jduggan, and it worked OK prior to reboot?
[01:28:25] <jduggan> it says its locked
[01:28:29] <jduggan> yep
[01:28:38] <jduggan> s/locked/already connected/
[01:28:50] <kreignAFK> huh can you 'migrate to server' from xencenter once it's started?
[01:28:57] <jduggan> i can migrate some of them
[01:28:59] <jduggan> but not all
[01:29:06] <jduggan> the some being
[01:29:06] <kreignAFK> get that error, eh
[01:29:18] <jduggan> ok one sec..
[01:29:49] <kreignAFK> VMs were powered down softly?
[01:30:31] <jduggan> yea
[01:30:37] <jduggan> basically i live migrated 2
[01:30:41] <jduggan> and i shut down the rest
[01:30:50] <jduggan> then put it in maintenance mode
[01:30:52] <jduggan> and shut it down
[01:31:05] <jduggan> i put more ram in, booted up, took it out of maintenance mode
[01:31:23] <jduggan> all the vms that were shut down will not start on the rebooted (home) server
[01:31:31] <jduggan> but i can start them on the master
[01:31:43] <jduggan> the two that i live migrated i can migrate back
[01:33:31] <jduggan> right the vms that i can start up on the pool master
[01:33:38] <jduggan> when i migrate back i get; 10/02/2011 00:27:49 Error: Migrating VM 'Flodrive_R1' from 'ashcloud04' to 'ashcloud5' - Internal error: INTERNAL_ERROR: [ Failure("The VDI b96709bf-1af6-4bd2-b67a-37e83de469f9 is already attached in RO mode; it can't be attached in RW mode!") ]
[01:34:21] <kreignAFK> jduggan, which version of xs?
[01:35:04] <jduggan> 5.6
[01:35:38] <kreignAFK> jduggan, I dare say the easiest way to fix this may be to remove the machine from the pool + reinstall. I'm not sure the cause... you using multipathing/
[01:36:19] <kreignAFK> jduggan, i don't suppose there were any other changes made.
[01:37:28] <kreignAFK> jduggan, I must say I've not much experience with something like this but it sounds like something is out of state with the pool master (eg. it didn't fully sync prior to shutdown?)
[01:37:38] <kreignAFK> so maybe removing and re-adding to the pool would do the trick
[01:37:49] <kreignAFK> should be an 'easy' first step.
[01:37:54] <jduggan> whats the best way to do that
[01:38:05] <jduggan> and hwo does that affect machines that has it set as home server?
[01:38:14] <jduggan> (the shut down ones)
[01:38:24] <kreignAFK> http://blog.vinteros.com/?p=44
[01:39:22] <kreignAFK> jduggan, I don't -think- you should have to do anything to that. you can change the home server of a VM once it's back up
[01:39:34] <kreignAFK> (should be able to at least... cross fingers)
[01:45:41] <jduggan> kreignAFK: does pool-eject reset management IP ?
[01:47:38] <kreignAFK> jduggan, I'm honestly not sure.
[01:47:51] <kreignAFK> jduggan, hungry, tired, and in the middle of something I wanted done last friday.
[01:48:07] <kreignAFK> sorry, can't really help anymore. I know you're probably panic'd and shit, but I'm just trying to get this done
[01:51:09] <jduggan> kreignAFK: no worries - i wouldnt say panicd.. ive started whats needed on the master node
[01:51:59] <jduggan> looks like it loses its management IP
[01:52:02] <jduggan> oh well

[05:38:48] <ScottCochran> hey guys...
[05:39:31] <ScottCochran> Anyone good with StorageLink Gateway?
[06:12:39] <tooms> and does anyone know how to get around a problem when you disable logons on a xenapp box, and then a user tries to reconnect to a session they get a notification that logons are disabled, how can you set it up so they just get a new session?
[06:15:52] <makson> tooms: does there session still exist on the disabled logined XA server?
[06:16:05] <makson> ScottCochran: sorry, never used it..
[06:16:15] <tooms> makson: yep session still exists
[06:19:07] <makson> tooms: looks like workspace control is trying to reconnect them back to there existing session.
[06:19:14] <makson> can you log them off ?
[06:41:38] <tooms> I can log them off manually.. thats fine
[06:42:10] <tooms> but occasionally we have an issue with a xenapp server so we disable logons so we can organise a reboot later on, then users decide to just close the session and not log off and then cant get back on
[06:42:25] <tooms> not so much a hassle during the day, royal pain in the arse to get someone out of bed to fix though
[06:47:10] <ScottCochran> Anyone know why I cant copy an ISO in to a CIFS share that is attached to a XenServer CIFS ISO SR??

[17:23:10] <Splatone> jduggan: If the server supports Ident that would be easier..  It would be via IPMI interface.
[17:23:34] <Splatone> kdavy_: yea I was trying to figure out how to rescan luns without reboot.
[17:23:59] <Splatone> kdavy_: although because of the fp1 emulex driver issue I couldnt do it through the driver.  Host reboot was required.
[17:24:17] <Splatone> kdavy_: finally fixed my Luns so I can do snapshots now.
[17:24:27] <kdavy_> Splatone: cool
[17:24:55] <kdavy_> i'm now trying to get multipath set up properly with rsf-1 cluster
[17:25:02] <Splatone> kdavy_: I put all my big vm's on the same lun as the snapshot is deleted right after the export is performed.
[17:25:15] <Splatone> rsf-1? .. hmm google.
[17:25:20] <kdavy_> Splatone: yea that sounds like a good plan
[17:25:24] <Splatone> kdavy_: have you played with proxmox?
[17:25:33] <kdavy_> mope
[17:25:53] <Splatone> kdavy_: its pretty cool from what Ive seen.  Best opensource solution out there.
[17:26:11] <kdavy_> i found a guide on how to do proper multipath with it on Redhat, but not sure how to apply that knowledge to XenServer without screwing up my popol: http://www.high-availability.com/FAQ/index.php?sid=54478&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=8&id=37&artlang=en
[17:26:28] <Splatone> kdavy_: bare metal install, has the abiltiy to do vm migrations (powered off) between hosts with non shared storage.
[17:26:52] <Splatone> kdavy_: although I think xenserver can do that too.  could be wrong though.
[17:27:29] <Splatone> kdavy_: Its based on qemu and KVM.
[17:27:34] <kdavy_> hm is Proxmox based on KVM?

[17:33:47] <Splatone> I tried streaming pos but it didnt work.  trying to get around the 1 user per server/vm problem.
[17:34:02] <Splatone> although we got rid of all the pos stuff.
[17:34:02] <kdavy_> Splatone: try ThinApp
[17:34:05] <Splatone> thank god.
[17:34:18] <kdavy_> it's the best app streaming solution i've ever used
[17:34:57] <Splatone> kdavy_: how does it do with sql apps?
[17:35:28] <kdavy_> as long as you package the ODBC aliases and DSNs into the package, it works well
[17:35:42] <kdavy_> i even use thinapp to give SQL Management Studio to users

[17:42:26] <Trixboxer> thanks
[17:42:43] <kdavy_> i'm doing thin provisioned shared luns, although mine are lvmohba. should be same thing for iscsi
[17:42:55] <jduggan> guys can you tell me exactly what an opaque reference is in xenserver?

[17:44:27] <kdavy_> Trixboxer: i think you don't need to specify "scsi-" in your SCSIid= parameter
[17:44:40] <Trixboxer> let me try
[17:44:41] <kdavy_> just the actual id that starts with 1494 in your case
[17:44:47] <kdavy_> Splatone: yes i am
[17:44:55] <kdavy_> have been since XenServer 5.5
[17:45:20] <Splatone> kdavy_: im pretty sure thats not supported..
[17:45:46] <kdavy_> Splatone: i found how to do it in the official XenServer guide
[17:45:47] <Trixboxer> yes :)
[17:45:50] <jduggan> kdavy_: do you know what an opaquereference is used for/what it is?
[17:45:54] <Trixboxer> that worked like a charm

[18:17:19] <Splatone> kdavy_: when you say the thin provisioned vm's become thick meaning they only can grow and not shrink.
[18:17:50] <kdavy_> Splatone: yep
[18:18:24] <Splatone> kdavy_: ie if I create a vm and copy 200gb of shit over to it and delete the 200gb run sdelete etc.. it will still be the size with the 200gb added.
[18:18:45] <kdavy_> Splatone: no idea, i havent tried that
[18:19:01] <Splatone> even though the exported vm will be the original size without the 200gb.
[18:19:04] <Makuew> Does does citrix calculate hdd speed? Lets say each virtual machine has 500gb space. How much hard drive io can that machine use then?
[18:19:05] <kdavy_> but in theory yes, because LVM is not aware of what's on top of it
[18:20:58] <Trixboxer> Splatone: you can copy thick VMs directly on to thin SR and they become thin provisioned. I just tested it
[18:21:11] <Trixboxer> btw I have 2 iSCSI
[18:21:39] <Trixboxer> one was thick having old VMs and templates, and another thin (just created)
[18:21:54] <Splatone> Trixboxer: with storage move command in xencenter or by import?
[18:22:15] <Trixboxer> simple copy from xencenter
[18:22:37] <Splatone> Trixboxer: can you see if the same happens with move command?
[18:23:47] *** scsinutz has joined #Citrix

[18:41:21] <Trixboxer> no only copy command is there
[18:41:40] <Splatone> the vm should be shutdown first.  You should see move command.
[18:41:58] <Splatone> although ive seen it where move command wasnt available on certain vm's before.
[18:42:22] <Trixboxer> ok, giving a try to move
[18:42:25] *** The_Machine has quit IRC
[18:43:15] <Splatone> kdavy_: actually have another question for you.  I have a few VM's where the move command only moves the first disk when you have multiple disks attached to the VM.  Do you know how to fix this behaviour.
[18:44:19] <Trixboxer> again the horrifying "VDI not available" :(
[18:44:57] <Splatone> trixboxer: with the move command in xencenter going from thick to thin lvm.
[18:46:14] *** Guest69584 has quit IRC
[18:46:15] <Trixboxer> yup, I actually reattached my thick storage and now VM dont know where he was
[19:13:11] <gblfxt> anyone have an issue on w2008 app servers on a w2003 ads network are corrupting profiles?
[19:14:15] <kdavy_> gblfxt: are they V1 or V2 profiles?
[19:14:23] <gblfxt> V2
[19:14:46] <kdavy_> Could be group policy and scripts leftover from V1 days
[19:15:08] <kdavy_> do you have the same group policy applying to 2003 and 2008 xenapp boxes?
[19:15:52] <gblfxt> well, domain gpo, other than that, none on 2008
[19:16:34] <kdavy_> hm.. how are the profiles getting corrupt?
[19:17:49] <gblfxt> random errors start occuring, if i create a new profile, they stop
[19:18:25] <gblfxt> cant just delete home directory/profile, the home directory wont be recreated
[19:18:36] <gblfxt> this problem doesnt happen on the 2003 side
[19:21:45] <kdavy_> gblfxt: you can delete everything inside the profile folder
[19:21:54] <kdavy_> i'm pretty sure you have a permissions issue
[19:23:32] <gblfxt> yes, i have deleted the entire profile folder, where might the permission issue lie?
[19:24:13] <kdavy_> gblfxt: where the account of the user doesn't have permission to create a new profile folder in the profile share
[19:24:20] <kdavy_> check permissions on your share

[19:51:18] <Rebbie> Hi - has anyone played around with XenClient at all?
[19:56:09] <kdavy_> Rebbie: yeah i burned a couple XenClient install CDs, my dogs played with them for a bit
[20:04:19] <MSilva01> lol
[20:06:20] <ScottCochran> Anyone out there good with XenServer?
[20:07:07] <ScottCochran> Any idea why I would get an iSCSI login failure when trying to start a VM on an NFS SR?
[20:07:18] <MSilva01> for while XenClient its waste of time and headic
[20:07:54] <ScottCochran> Creating my first VM on a new pool but get that error when trying to start it.  Creating VM works fine on the NFS SR but starting give error, "Logging in to the iSCSI target failed, Check user name and password"
[20:11:41] <kdavy_> ScottCochran: wtf? how is an NFS SR related to iscsi?
[20:12:02] <zaf> yeah, wtf
[20:12:07] <ScottCochran> yea thats what im saying
[20:12:27] <zaf> did you create an iscsi SR as well?
[20:13:40] *** Rebbie has quit IRC
[20:14:47] <ScottCochran> zaf:  nope
[20:15:12] <zaf> delete your SRs and try again
[20:15:21] <zaf> something's effed somehow
[20:18:00] <ScottCochran> Yea it may be an issue bc I created the SR with StorageLink Gateway
[20:18:18] <zaf> oh, yeah
[20:18:21] <zaf> probably definitely
[20:18:32] <zaf> i dont think anybody has gotten SL to actually be useful

[20:21:56] <kreignAFK> ok, I'm about 5 mintues from yelling at this goddamn equipment in German...
[20:27:03] <MSilva01> strange thing to share ... i cant logon on my vm from xencenter console or rdp console, ica sessions and rdp sessions without console works fine ... anyone?
[20:31:52] <MSilva01> when this happen a reboot solves the problem, but i would like to know why this happen ...
[20:34:56] <ScottCochran> zaf:, kdavy: Looks like Storage Link Gateway was creating a LUN, not NFS Export for the SR... Not sure if SLG supports NFS, need to dive into it more.  Created NFS Export through NetApp and created SR from XenCenter, seems to be working now...
[20:35:42] <kdavy_> ScottCochran: yeah i dont think storagelink does NFS
[20:36:23] <kdavy_> actually no, it does according to the manual

[20:54:33] <kdavy_> tabularasa: oh shit really
[20:54:43] <kdavy_> i wonder if that applies to CSP as well
[20:55:35] <kdavy_> since technically under CSP XenApp/XenDesktop Plat are the same line item on the report, even if you only use XenApp

[21:18:00] <ScottCochran> yea, any other way lol
[21:18:06] <kdavy_> network changes should technically be applied to all servers in the pool, unless NICs are different

[22:46:06] <kdavy_> zaf, totally
[22:46:10] <kdavy_> hey sideone
[22:46:22] <sideone> i have an old copy of 4.5 that i am working on. For some reason, when the user logs onto a desktop environment connection (ts), they are logged onto the local server and not the domain. How can i change the default logon to domain and not local?
[22:47:06] *** waynerr has joined #Citrix
[22:47:37] <kdavy_> sideone: are you talking about an RDP session directly to the server IP?
[22:48:04] <sideone> we use 4.5 presentation server, sorry my brain is all over the place today
[22:48:20] <sideone> we have a ts type of connection as one of the avail icons when logging in
[22:48:37] <sideone> it defaults to the local server on the dropdown while logging on
[22:48:43] <kdavy_> sideone: ok how is your user logging in? through the Web Interface, through PNAgent from a device, or using a direct IP connection?
[22:48:44] <sideone> it used to default to the domain
[22:48:49] <sideone> web interface
[22:49:10] <kdavy_> sideone: it's in the configs..... somewhere
[22:49:12] <kdavy_> lemme look
[22:49:17] <sideone> hehe
[22:49:19] <sideone> thanks buddy
[22:50:26] <kdavy_> sideone: on the WI server in webinterface.conf, there is a line "DomainSelection=yourdomain"
[22:50:34] <sideone> thanks :)
[22:50:42] <kdavy_> what does it say?
[22:50:48] <sideone> omw
[22:52:04] <sideone> it actually shows the correct domain
[22:52:39] <kdavy_> sideone: and the correct domain is the only option there?
[22:52:54] <kdavy_> no comma separated stuff?
[22:53:42] <sideone> yep
[22:54:05] <kdavy_> sideone: what is your Web Interface version? I'm using 5.2, and users don't even get a choice of what to log into, domain or local. it's domain only - check here - https://www.xvand.com/CitrixLogin.aspx
[22:54:07] <sideone> i see the example of domainselection
[22:54:18] <sideone> but on my uncommented line, i just have the 1 domain
[22:54:45] <sideone> nice, i like your front end btw
[22:54:59] <kdavy_> sideone: do you have HideDomainField=Off or On in webinterface.conf?
[22:55:00] <kdavy_> thanks :)
[22:55:23] <sideone> on
[22:55:26] <sideone> should it be off?
[22:55:54] <kdavy_> yes, set it to off
[22:56:11] <sideone> done
[22:56:22] <sideone> can i reload the conf without kicking off the current users?
[22:56:39] <kdavy_> yeah, you can
[22:56:59] <sideone> sorry im the unix guy here, but trying to help the citrix guy as he is out
[22:57:08] <sideone> under 4.5 how do i reload?

[22:58:21] <sideone> hahhaha
[22:58:27] <kdavy_> i'm the Citrix guy, not the IIS guy :-P
[22:58:28] <sideone> ill just wait for an hr and reload
[22:58:35] <sideone> oh is it just iis?
[22:58:46] <sideone> i can just iisreset /reload

[23:01:07] <sideone> but ill give the services a kick once everyone is off in an hr
[23:01:14] <sideone> iisreset didnt work

[23:10:31] <kdavy_> tabularasa: sweet!
[23:10:49] <kdavy_> do you know if you can cluster two VPX branch repeaters together?
[23:10:50] <tabularasa> yup
[23:10:58] <tabularasa> you'd need a repeater thrn
[23:11:01] <kdavy_> both datacenter side and client side?
[23:11:12] <kdavy_> thrn?
[23:11:17] <tabularasa> then
[23:11:18] <cathederal> I have three nodes, five NICs per server, two switches...VLAN 60 is Virtual Machines/iSCSI, VLAN 160 is Servers....just trying to figure out the best way to set this up with fault tolerance and speed....any help is appreciated
[23:11:32] <tabularasa> yeah, i'm not clear on the "repeater" side
[23:11:38] <tabularasa> i'll figure out when we get the details
[23:11:38] <kdavy_> 5 NICS per server?
[23:11:49] <tabularasa> i assume we'd still need to pay for repeater on CSP...
[23:12:11] <cathederal> yeah, 5 nics for use....6 total, but it is my management port for xencenter
[23:12:20] <kdavy_> tabularasa: well i thought it was free with XD Platinum lics :-/
[23:12:26] <kdavy_> now at least
[23:12:39] <tabularasa> branch repeater != repeater
[23:13:05] <tabularasa> don't know the details yet.....
[23:13:08] <kdavy_> tabularasa: ehh ok, whats the difference? i may be confusing myself lol
[23:13:18] <tabularasa> Repeater is the datacenter side
[23:13:30] <kdavy_> o ok, got it
[23:13:32] <tabularasa> its the big daddy that all the branch repeaters connect to
[23:13:54] <kdavy_> yeah the mothership
[23:13:59] <cathederal> any ideas?
[23:14:25] <kdavy_> cathederal: i'd say use 3 nics for iscsi, 2 for outbound networking
[23:14:48] <kdavy_> although i'm not an iscsi guy, i use FC. someone else might have a better idea
[23:15:18] <cathederal> so bond three NICs and then bond two?  would you even mess with bonding?
[23:15:38] <kdavy_> cathederal: definitely bond the non-iscsi ones. as far as iscsi goes i don't know
[23:16:43] <cathederal> so when I install a vm in the pool, what networks will it give the vm access to?
[23:17:08] <cathederal> will it show one nic that goes to the network bond and one for iscsi or what?
[23:23:59] <kdavy_> cathederal: your VMs shouldn't see the iScsi NICs at all
[23:24:19] <kdavy_> unless you're passing iscsi through to VMs, which only makes sense for very specialized applications
