CS 4.5.2 - Shapeblue repo (http://packages.shapeblue.com/cloudstack/) - On a new Install CS-452 did not create the storage network with the proper MTU setting on Xenserver 6.5.0 SP1 (fully updated) network. // MTU was set to 9000 for secondary storage nic (which was applied to NIC when we checked SSVM) before zone creation and after waiting few minutes for network to be created on Xenserver network (VLAN-random-34) didn't have proper MTU setting for vlan34 network which fails out of the box because you can't edit anymore for some unknown reason and "really" hard to trace and resolve since error messages are also encrypted :) and it works half the time which throws you off, typical symptoms are: SSVM agent not connecting, agent stuck in disconnecting state, SSVM ALERT (this was a good one), templates are stuck in "Installing Template" stage, SSVM navigating to /mnt/SecStorage takes forever, SSVM check script takes about 10 minutes to finish, and half the time if you are lucky "it works" :) after troubleshooting full day and half I wanted to share this, I know it is not the right list to send this email but I just wanted to have this out there in case if somebody is searching to see why his SSVM stuck in "Installing Template" mode - Thanks for this great product guys...
P.S : Templates are much more reliable now, thanks for those improvements. Sam
