Hi Andrea, It sounds like you need to label your network interfaces in on the XenServer host and in CloudStack.
Its hard to read the early parts of the emails to see how many interfaces you've got on your host. But if you have just the one then rename it something with no spaces like 'if-cloud' its easiest to do it with XenCenter. Then you go to the GUI; Infrastructure > YOUR_ZONE > Physical Network. Go to each of the physical networks you have and set the 'XenServer Traffic Label' for the management, storage, public and guest networks to 'if-cloud' Then add the host. I have seen some hosts fail to add if the storage network isn't explicitly defined as a network too. If you can include a link to your management server log it would help.

Hallo all and happy new year! Today I tried again: management vm fresh, xenserver fresh and updated (but still 6.0.2) with local storage, I closed wizard and before adding zone etc. I configured option for system VMs on local storage. Then added zone, pod, cluster, node... when adding node, some strange errors regarding agent disconnected. From XenCenter I see that local storage has changed name with "cloud stack bla bla bla" in description, but in management UI I don't see any primary storage configured. Ok, enough. New year, new life. If a product takes almost a month for simply setup a trial and even now not works, maybe is time to try something different. Maybe I'm unlucky and/or not capable of doing things, or maybe CloudStack and guides are not so "turnkey" as they claim to be. I don't know what else to do, just give up. 2013/1/2 Marc Cirauqui <mcirau...@gmail.com> > Hi Andrea, any news? > > thx > > > On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 1:58 PM, Vijay Venkatachalam < > vijay.venkatacha...@citrix.com> wrote: > > > Remember the first step is to see if these steps are applicable to you. > > > > Meaning in my case when I ran a find in xenserver console I was not > > able to find the vhd-util tools. > > Meaning there should be zero results for > > >> find / -name "vhd-util" > > > > If the patches are already applied (the steps won't help) you might > > it them in /usr/sbin/vhd-util /opt/xensource/bin/vhd-util > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Andrea Ottonello [mailto:aottone...@gmail.com] > > > Sent: Friday, December 28, 2012 6:10 PM > > > To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org > > > Subject: Re: Getting CRAZY for having a cloud working! > > > > > > THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH, I will try this! > > > > > > > > > 2012/12/28 Vijay Venkatachalam <vijay.venkatacha...@citrix.com> > > > > > > > Simple Tab should auto-fill it up You can cross verify from > > > > XenCenter: Select Host-> General->UUID > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > > > From: Andrea Ottonello [mailto:aottone...@gmail.com] > > > > > Sent: Friday, December 28, 2012 6:01 PM > > > > > To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org > > > > > Subject: Re: Getting CRAZY for having a cloud working! > > > > > > > > > > Ehm... last thing I promise... where I get hostid? :) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 2012/12/28 Vijay Venkatachalam > > > > > <vijay.venkatacha...@citrix.com> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1.
