Hi Adeel, With KVM you can still take volume snapshots (of single volumes) – but you can’t take full VM snapshots (as you mention these are available only on XenServer and VMware) – please note the functionality of these are different (see http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-

Hi Dag, I have been able to arrange a switch and create a new subnet of my own behind that switch. That way, I am able to install KVM and cloudstack on single machine. Haven't tried the second machine. I think, it should work too. Now, I am basically interested in snapshot capability of insta

Hi Adeel, This would most likely get you into trouble with your red tape admins – if you simply set the IP address 10.103.72.65 statically and let’s say your DHCP lease time is 24 hours – then after 24 hours the DHCP server will not have seen any DHCP renewals (DHCP starts the renewal process a

Hi Dag, DHCP and its settings are beyond my control. I will have to go through some procedures (aka red tape) to get the exclusions static IPs bound to ACS and KVM. For now, what I am thinking to do is, connect to network and get an IP 10.103.72.65 and declare it as static in network settings

Hi Muhammed, This is done externally to CloudStack and depends on what DHCP infrastructure you have in place. All DHCP implementations have the option to reserve an address, i.e. a setting that confirms your MAC address – e.g. 01:02:03:AA:BB:CC is always handed out the same IP address – in your

Thanks Boris and Dag for quick reply. @Dag How do I utilize static IP addresses in combination with DHCP reservations? I have just installed CentOs and connected to the network on wire. DHCP has given me 10.103.72.65/23 IP address. What do I need to do from now on? Regards _

Hi Muhammed, This may be possible if your DNS infrastructure is rock solid and is guaranteed to work from all CloudStack networks (you would possibly also have to set your TTL on your DNS entries low) – but all in all I would recommend you utilize static IP addresses, alternatively in combinat
