Andrea, Looks like your secondary storage is /export/secondary You should mount it on your xen hosts and make sure the mount works.
If you have downloaded the systemvm template and pointed to /export/secondary that should be fine. You should check the logs at /var/log/cloud/management/management-server.log And tells us what the error is. That said, I have a feeling you might be running into an issue with the agent. I had issues with the Ubuntu setup using the deb packages, I ran into this bug https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-460 It is fixed for the 4.0.1 release but not yet in the packages. Try to: wget http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/ubuntu/dists/precise/4.0/pool/cloud-system-iso_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb then: dpkg -i cloud-system-iso_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb and restart the agent: service cloud-agent restart Finally try to restart the system VMs. Cheers, -Sebastien On Dec 18, 2012, at 10:01 AM, Andrea Ottonello <aottone...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes.
