***UPDATE***
As mentioned I could not get a xenserver pool to work, but I did get two xenservers working that both had bonded NIC's. The model I use is 1 master only and 2 unlimited slaves. 1. Install your xenservers (2) 2. Setup bonded NIC using xencenter windows software3. On the server do ifconfig to find the bonded Virtual NIC, most likely it is xapi14. Install virtualizor master only on a different dedicated machine (much smaller) or a VPS. 5. Install virtualizor on your two xenserver machines using the xenserver install procedure.6. After install go to your virtualizor web page on each xenserver. 7. Configuration -> Slave Settings. 8. Change Paravirtualization Bridge and HVM Bridge to the NIC as stated in option3. More than likely it is xapi1.9. Check the option to use XL10. Reboot each xenserver machine11. Add the slave servers to the master by going to the master server web page and follow the instructions at: http://www.virtualizor.com/wiki/Add_Server12. Make your IP pool and ensure it is on all servers or put your xenserver in a group and select that group. This allows you to have xenservers in two datacenters with two different networks.13. Add OS templates media -> template browser. Make sure you use XCP templates. You can do either PV or HVM, PV is much faster, but windows requires HVM.14. Create new VPS, this is where it gets tricky and is unexplained. Although you are using the master, you must identify which xenserver you want to place the VM on. You do this by using the dropdown on the header -right of the page. It will not change you to that server, just setup your VM on that server. There seems to be no auto balance feature in virtualizor, but when using blesta or WHMCS, it does rotate which server based on how you setup the package. I pulled a network cable and the bonded NIC works great, but this does not provide HA for the xenserver VM to migrate to. Another issue is that xenserver VM's do not show memory or CPU usage. It was explained that this only works openvz as virtualizor does not have access to this information, but I think it's just a feature they have not added as that information is available in the XAPI API and if you SSH to dom0. The output of "xl top" would work great if virtualizor could grab that. |
