Mario Dont see anything crazy with what you are doing so far.
I would suggest that you initially keep it simple and setup cloudstack with basic zone. The communication workflow you've been asking is as follows: CloudStack Management Server talks to KVM host on port 3922 CloudStack KVM Agent talks back to Cloudstack MS on 8250 In order for CloudStack to talk to System VM, it uses the KVM host as proxy, because the SystemVM is on link-local (unroutable) network. Specifically, CloudStack will connect to KVM on 3922 and execute a command called cloudstack-ssh example: cloudstack-ssh 169.254.0.139 You can look up the KVM hypervisor and link-local IP by going to system vm tab in UI. If you SystemVM is started but you dont see any communication, it would be worth doing virsh console, use root/password as access and troubleshoot from there. Logs are posted in /var/log/cloud.out We assume you have minimal linux skillset.. As mentioned earlier, keep it simple and deploy cloudstack with Basic Zone so you can learn, once you get the hang of it, experiment to your hearts desire.
