Noa Resare commented on CLOUDSTACK-1004:
----------------------------------------
[~jessica.tomec...@citrix.com] Thanks for the tip; I'll remember that.
[~tariq.iq...@shapeblue.com] The error message I got on the management server
was the following:
2013-01-17 10:33:55,596 DEBUG [agent.manager.AgentManagerImpl]
(AgentManager-Handler-11:null) Details from executing class
com.cloud.agent.api.storage.ListTemplateCommand:

It was not obvious to me that the exception was actually serialized on the
agent and sent to the manager to be logged. I spent a fair amount of time to
try to figure out why the logging framework somehow failed to propagate the log
statement on NfsSecondaryStorageResource.java:1002 to the manager logfile. In
hindsight it is kind of obvious that the loggins ends up in the logfile on the
secondary storage VM. I have opened CLOUDSTACK-1005 to track this.

> Priority: Minor

> I set up a fresh test install of cloudstack 4.0 now and ran into some
> problems. It turned out that the secondary storage VM could not mount the
> secondary storage via NFS because the NFS URI configured when setting up the
> zone only held the hostname and not hostname plus fully qualified domain
> name.
> This worked fine when testing mounts form the hypervisors (that had a
> properly configured search path) but the secondary storage VM doesn't have
> it's domain configured to match the rest of the machines, so secondary
> storage operation failed.
> The error I got in the logfile was kind of unhelpful when tracking down this,
> so a brief note in the installation instruction would have been nice.
> I propose we change item 11 of section 6.2.2 of the installation instruction,
> replacing "The IP address of the server" with "The IP address or fully
> qualified hostname of the server. Please note that only the hostname will not
> work, as the secondary storage VM will not be able to properly resolve the
> hostname"
