Yes Ronald, That sounds like you've got it. Remember the CloudStack mgmt. server needs to be able to communicate with the secondary storage, so the secondary storage needs to be in the same subnet as the CloudStack mgmt. server and reachable through eth1 or you need routing in place to allow the communication between subnets.

I does somewhat, although it feels like the rabbit hole got deeper :) What I've taken away from the above and is applicable to my setup is that: Before the CS Installation on the Physical Hosts i'll need to: A.) Create bridge Cloudbr0-mgmt-guest for the management and guest traffic on eth0 B.) Create bridge Cloudbr1-storage for the storage traffic (primary and secondary) on eth1 During CS Advanced Wizard: I'll have to assign MGMT & Guest Traffic to Physical Network 1 and label them accordingly. Assign Storage to the Physical Network 2 and label it accordingly In the Storage Network Assignment give CS a range of IP's that will be sitting on the same network as the storage (192.168.251.0) Does this sound vaguely correct and as if I'm on the correct path?
