Nassir,
Yes, that's correct. Ultimately the routing table determines where the storage
resides if it's IP enabled storage. If it's direct attached, FC or ISCSI, then
it's basically just a mount point on the host. In the case of clustering such
as with CLVM, after setting up the cluster, the host agent runs lvm commands to
provision the storage on the host.

The way I'm understanding this then is the following:
- Have a NIC on the same subnet that storage is on KVM
- Then based on IP you enter into primary settings it should use the right NIC
- There is not a way to fully define the exact NIC to be a primary storage NIC.
Just IP and Subnet for matching card as long as it's not defined for other KVM
Labels
Is that accurate?
Thank you

It should be based on the ip address of the nfs server you defined. Is your
storage on a different subnet?

Thank you. When I attempted that, it kept trying to reach primary storage
over the Cloudbr0 that I specified for management on the KVM hosts.
Is there any labeling or bridge I need to do in KVM? Or will it use the
open card? I guess how does it know which open interface to use for primary
storage?

Just connect the storage via a different physical network (or vlan) to
the hosts. You don't need to do any tagging in ACS management for it. The host
agents talk to the storage, so as long as the agent can see the primary
storage, you should be good to go.

Currently NFS, but I'm waiting to add Ceph until this is figured out.
Thank You Simon

Nassar,
What type of primary storage are you using?

Subject: Separate Management and Primary Storage
Hello,
Can somebody please provide the steps to separate Management
traffic from Primary Storage with KVM?
I've deployed a storage label but that's only for secondary
storage. So how do I do that with Primary storage? Can I add it back to an
existing Advanced zone? Or Do I need to deploy a new one?
Cloudstack docs say it's basically another management interface on
a whole other subnet. But how do you add that and define another management on
KVM? No option in the zone to add another mgmt. interface. We are currently on
version 4.8.
Thank You
