Hi
I want to give an update on my installation, I was able to install it
and secondary storage is working fine but I have some questions I hope
somebody can help me with the answers
1.- I still have problems to upload ISO files to CS, do I need to get a
certificate to configure this part?
2.- I was able to download an ISO from a URL but the VNC to the server
is really slow, is there something I can do to change this? this is
running on duo Xenon with 32G of Ram and 1G network cars.
Thank you, I appreciate your help.

Once completing the Advance Zone wizard and allowing time for backend
processing, the dashboard does not show metrics for secondary storage (0/0
KB), the console proxy and secondary storage VMs repeatedly cycle through
build-up and tear-down, while never stabilizing to online state.
I've tried Centos deployments as well, but tell me why would it matter
given your documentation clearly state either (Centos, RedHat, Ubuntu, Xen,
VMware) and provides instructions for either?
Yes, I executed and validated all host settings and communications: pings
to/from everything, nslookup, rpcinfo, exportfs, showmount, libvirtd
settings, qemu settings, brctl, etc.
Finally, as for my attitude as you put it. I've been primarily a Windows
Systems Administrator over 20 years and have worked with Linux
and opensource products for about 15 years. Said not to be boastful, but
simply to depict a degree technical know how. Based on my calculations
CloudStack have been around for 7 to 8 years and I'm sure has achieved
tremendous milestones. But experience has taught me where we often fall
short is documentation; not just in doing it, but also the accuracy and
detail of content. I've had the distinct pleasure of working for one
organization that required us to get a none technical person to
successfully follow our documentation before it was considered standard
operating procedure.
And for your offer to have me produce videos, I really wouldn't have an
issue with the idea; except a huge matter of not having proper technical
knowledge of said product. By the time and effort it would take someone to
get me up to speed, that same or less effort could be used to produce the
videos and share the knowledge with the multitudes.

What **exactly** is your problem that you are trying to solve?
i.e. this makes no sense to me or at least I can't understand it:
"I cannot get the console to show/recognize the secondary NFS storage which
seems to be preventing the build/starting of systemvms"
1. Describe your setup, your networking, basic zone or advanced zone, do
you have dedicated Storage network (Seecondary Storage network that is) or
not, etc.What are you IP ranges/reserved IP ranges, vlans, etc.
2. I recommend CentOS 7.x for the beginning, not Ubuntu 16.04
3. Did you preseed the systemVM templates via script as in the manual, did
you confirm you KVM hosts can mount Primary AND Secondary Storage (manual
test)
4. Later you might want to upload your logs if we are troubleshooting a
specific problem, but not for now
You need to provide some more information besides what you have provided in
order to be helped.
Regards,
P.S. Related to your attitude... When you learn on how to deploy CloudStack
on that setup, do you swear you will update all the missing CloudStack
documentation and produce all the missing videos (I'm sure you have all the
time of this world besides your work hours, your family obligations
(wife/kids), etc? I don't think so either... This is a community project
and one need to use brain to connect the dots - it's cloud a.k.a. complex
stuff, not an awerage web server setup. Cheers

Can I get some support with this storage issue? Which is really a matter
of
understanding exactly how the networking SHOULD be configured in a
multi-node deployment. If this is the only resource available whereby
Cloud
Stack development team offers assistance, it is sorely lacking.
Just to be clear, I'd like to see the potential of a successful Cloud
Stack
deployment (a single server installation appears to operate as expected).
However, its quiet a different picture when attempting to perform a full
on
production like deployment. As I've somewhat stated before, the
documentation is seriously lacking adequate rationale as to why a
setting/configuration is made.
Something else that has bewildered me is why there has not been and
effort
to produce youtube videos demonstrating/educating deployments?

Luis, thanks for your feedback. Though waiting seem to resolve your
issue,
I'm sure that is not the intended deployment outcome.
Waiting didn't resolve the issue for me, unfortunately.
I've made some observations around the problem.
- The system vms console/storage repeatedly rebuild and never come
online.
- The system vm template is downloaded to secondary storage (per
instructions) yet does not show size in console.
- The dashboard shows secondary 0/0 KB, primary 192.50 kb/787 GB. I
don't
understand why there is yet a separate storage meter.
- This VXLAN deployment for some unknown reason now shows the VNI
range
on
all three networks (Management, Public & Guest) instead of just the
Guest
network.
I have similar observations. At the moment I have one of the VMs in a
*running* state but there's no connectivity, the other one is in
*starting*. I see two qemu processes on the hypervisor but virsh list
returns an empty list. I'm planning to connect to the VNC servers next
to
see what's going on.
