Primary storage and secondary storage are also provided by this server via NFS. For primary storage, export location is /export/primary and for secondary storage, it is /export/secondary. Second server, also running Ubuntu 12.04, only serves as Cloudstack-agent. Now, when I create vms they are stuck in starting state and I am unable to delete them. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead, Sugandh
