I learned how to ssh into the system VM for storage using this domentaion for Accessing System VMs: https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/systemvm.html
I was able to ssh into my system storage VM from the KVM hypervisor Since I'm using hardcoded /etc/host and no homelab DNS server yet, I found the network is fine, but the system VM doesn't know what server KVM1 is. :\ root@s-2-VM:~# ping 192.168.1.201 PING 192.168.1.201 (192.168.1.201): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.201: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.448 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.201: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.889 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.201: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.318 ms ^C--- 192.168.1.201 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.889/1.218/1.448/0.239 ms root@s-2-VM:~# ping kvm1 ping: unknown host root@s-2-VM:~# I edited the hosts file for now and will work to get a DNS server solution for the home lab soon. I hope this is helpful to someone. -vSeanClark On Thu, Sep 19, 2024 at 9:59 AM Sean Clark <s...@seanclark.us> wrote: > I'm attempting cloudstack homelab on 2 modest home servers (4-core, 32GB > RAM, 1TB SSD), one is the management server and one is the KVM host.
