Hi Len, What you are trying to do is perfectly possible, however confusingly it has nothing to do with the CloudStack Physical Network 'storage'. The CloudStack Storage Network is only used when accessing Secondary Storage, and is something which causes lots of confusion. (re-writing the official docs in relation to this is on my very long list of things to do)
All you need to do is create two networks mapped to two different Bonds on your XenServer (assuming you want to use Bonding) then add a two new IPs, mapped to these networks. As XenServer cannot VLAN TAG the traffic for Storage or Management Networks, you will need to set the Switch Ports to Access Ports and let your switch add the appropriate VLAN Tags. This also highlights the need for dedicated NICs, one for each Storage Network, which is advisable in order to get optimum performance. If you are using Jumbo Frames, remember to set the MTU on the Bond, before mapping an IP to the Network. As longs as these CIDRs are unique, and do not overlap your CloudStack Management CIDR, when you add Primary Storage via CloudStack, your XenServers will simply use the appropriate Bond when they communicate with the Storage. Traffic routing is handled automatically by the XenServers based on the destination IPs.

Through the gui it doesn't seem to let me add multiple storage networks, but maybe through the API? Thanks Len ________________________________ IMPORTANT NOTICE.
