Can you confirm for SSVM that each nic is on proper vswitch and portgroup - if you do tagging, pay attention to that as well. Do ping test for each NIC to another host from SSVM.

Last but not least, see if you can figure out what that mount is and if its accessible - it got there somehow.

Hi Ilya,

So, it looks like the SSVM is establishing a HTTPS connection to the management 
IP of my ESX server. Obviously the management ip of the SSVM is on the same 
network as the management IP of my ESX host so there are no firewalls in 
between.

It fails with the following error:

Unable to copy template to primary storage due to exception:Exception: 
java.io.IOException
Message: Error writing request body to server

But it looks like the path it is trying to write to doesn't actually exist.  
It's made a connection to:

https://192.168.0.36/nfc/52c9914d-220c-abdc-f154-cc9af8a9bbd3/disk-0.vmdk

but that UUID doesn't exist as  a folder in my datastore in vcenter.

The folder I have is:
b0985bce673b37a1b2192b1ce333baa6
and this is where vmware has started to provision the vmdk containers, but at 
the moment they are all on 0kb.

Here is how i would troubleshoot to find out.

CloudStack Storage System VM (SSVM), checks if template exists on primary 
datastore, if it does, it will link clone, if not, it will deploy to primary 
storage and then link clone (or full clone, depending if you have it enabled or 
not).

This is the part where it fails. To understand where the problems is, SSH into 
SSVM, and view the output of /var/log/cloud/some-filename.log

Also, try running this command on SSVM to see if issues are firewall or routing 
related watch 'netstat -antup'  - look for time_wait and other non-established 
attempts to your vcenter

I would suspect a firewall related issue.

ilya

Sure.

vSwitch0  (used for management)
portgroup called cloud-management with the mgmt ip address of the esx
host

vSwitch2 (used for Storage)
portgroup called cloud-storage with the ip address of the storage nic
used to access nfs storage

dvSwitch0 (used for public and guest traffic)

as near as I can tell management and public/guest work ok.  I'm having trouble with my 
first vm - I get a message in my vmware client that says "Deploying OVF 
Template" when I first try to spin the vm.  This eventually times out.
Cloudstack has downloaded the vmware Centos template automatically and
this is what I am trying to use

Oddly, I am able to build a vm from an ISO.

Any ideas?

Perhaps you can give us an example on how network is layed out as well as 
vswitches and portgroups.

Thanks

hi Guys,

I'm trying to set up a vmware cluster with a dedicated storage network.

Is this possible?

What I can't get my head around is in the zone settings in the UI for
storage, I can put the vSwitch number in the entry for vmware.  Ie.
vSwitch2

However, in vcenter, the ip address that accesses my nfs storage is tied to the port 
group ie.  "cloud-storage"

Which entry do I need to enter in the zone settings?

Cheers
Len
