Hi, Scot. The add pod wizard needs the management network details for the hypervisors in the pod. This network is sometimes called the private network in CloudStack (database, docs, etc.). The reason is that CloudStack needs some IPs in this network for its own use.
Basically, the gateway and netmask should be the same as the management interface of the hosts in the pod, but the IP range should be some free, unused IPs in the network. Of course you haven't actually added hosts yet, so you should not continue with creating a pod until you have configured IP on the hosts or at least decided what the IP configuration will be. For more explanation check: http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-installation/en/latest/configuration.html#adding-a-pod And: http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/concepts.html?highlight=about%20pods#system-reserved-ip-addresses Best regards, Kirk On 10/27/2014 01:39 PM, scot gabriel wrote: > I'm being prompted for initial setup info and I don't know if I'm supposed > to define a new /24 range of IP's and gateway that will be setup later or > somehow base it on existing management server IP address info? server ip > 10.0.2.15 > > it's asking: > Add Pod > name: podHQ01 > gateway: > netmask: > ip range: > > please advice. > -- > Scot Gabriel > IRC (devildog31415 on irc.freenode.net) > > pgp.mit.edu (0xcfe3d15c891fca57) >
