I can try, but I am new in this area. My way of doing the installation may be off. But here are some of my notes.
4.4.1. DEB package repository Use your preferred editor and open (or create) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudstack. Add the community provided repository to the file: I had issues with this . What seemed to work was /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sources.list 4.5.3.1. Downloading vhd-util Before setting up the Management Server, download vhd-util from vhd-util If the Management Server is RHEL or CentOS, copy vhd-util to /usr/lib64/cloud/common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver. If the Management Server is Ubuntu, copy vhd-util to /usr/lib/cloud/common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/vhd-util. For me( I did not install the Gui apps for Linux) It is helpful to 1. Know I had to create the above path structure, in my case in Ubuntu. 2. use Wget http://download.cloud.com.s3.amazonaws.com/tools/vhd-util to get this util into current folder. 4.5.5.2. Using the Management Server As the NFS Server My installation of Ubuntu was bare min. Section 3 So when I tried, exportfs -a , I had issues. Not installed. Not sure if this would need documented. sudo apt-get update (just in case) sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap Over wrote exports files so I needed to re-edit for NFS exports. Section 4 RHEL (current) Edit the /etc/sysconfig/nfs file. # vi /etc/sysconfig/nfs Section 4 Ubuntu (missing section) Vi /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server Section 5 RHEL (Current) Edit the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. # vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables Add the following lines at the beginning of the INPUT chain where <NETWORK> is the network that you'll be using: -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 32803 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 32769 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 875 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 875 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT Section 6 RHEL (current) Run the following commands: # service iptables restart # service iptables save Section 5 Ubuntu (possible missing section) I found it easier to use iptables this way. I did not use the -s <NETWORK>. My knowledge to weak in this area. iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT For each line below I typed this in with iptables in front and without the <network> part Add the following lines at the beginning of the INPUT chain where <NETWORK> is the network that you'll be using: -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 32803 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 32769 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 875 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 875 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s <NETWORK> -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT Then used iptables -L to list the current iptables settings. Iptables forgets its settings on a reboot. iptables-save > /etc/network/iptables.up.rules modified the /etc/network/interfaces iface lo inet loopback Added this line -- pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables.up.rules I referenced this document. http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Configuring_IPtables_on_ubuntu_server Section 6 Ubuntu Below not needed in Ubuntu with above installation. Run the following commands: # service iptables restart # service iptables save This was some of my issues. My system not fully functional, so my suggestion my wrong.
