Hi Andy, I agree with Ed.
The error you are receiving means the Secondary Storage System VM has not started and is not in the correct state to download the iso. Cloudstack needs to start two System VMs for it to be operational, Console Proxy VM and Secondary Storage VM. But before it can do that, it needs a template to build the VMs from. You must execute the script from the management server that will upload the correct system VM template to your secondary storage first before the SSVM and CPVM can be started. Only then will you be able to register an iso. https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/installguide/management-server/index.html#prepare-the-system-vm-template You can find the Cloudstack logs under /var/log/cloudstack/ Regards Darrin ________________________________ From: Edward St Pierre <edward.stpie...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2021 12:38 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: Secondary storage doesn't work Hi Andy, Have you prepared the system VM template?
