Hello Sisu, Even if your computer is being serviced by an external dhcp server to get an IP Address, CloudStack needs to know of a Reserved System IP Range which is not serviced by the External DHCP Server. CloudStack assigns ip addresses from the Reserved System IP Range to the System VMs deployed on the Setup. It stores the allocation information in a database. Hence you need to have an unused IP Range in the network to which your computer is connected to in order to proceed ahead (I am assuming that you are trying to install all components of cloudstack on a single machine),
Thank you, Chandan. -----Original Message----- From: Sisu Xi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 11:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: CloudStack 4.2 Configure "Start Reserved system IP" Hi, all: I am new to cloudstack. I was following the installation guide for 4.2.0 on Ubuntu Server 12.04, everything goes well until the adding zone part. My computer has 1 NIC and is connected to the school network, IP address is obtained via dhcp. I checked the dns and gateway for my network, it says: root@cloudStackController:/export/primary# cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 128.252.0.100 nameserver 128.252.19.53 nameserver 128.252.21.53 search seas.wustl.edu root@cloudStackController:/export/primary# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 172.16.21.254 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 Then, I go to the cloudstack web UI and try to add a zone. In Setup Network, There is an option called "Start Reserved system IP", If I just want plain dhcp network, what should I fill in this? I tried several values and it says creating pod failure.. Thanks very much!
