GitHub user CGN-087 created a discussion: CloudStack 4.20 + XCP-NG 8.2: CloudStack tries to create VLANs instead of using existing labeled physical networks and Problem with Secondary Storage
Hi everyone, i've already created a reddit but read at the docu site, to post here. I'm new to the Apache CloudStack environment and have started building a POC. I'm using XCP-NG as the underlying platform. Originally I come from VMware and am considering removing the product from our portfolio due to the current conditions imposed by Broadcom. There's one thing I don't quite understand, and I was hoping you could help me with it. I've configured the networking on the XCP side: MGMT, SAN, Live Migration, etc. These are all on different VLANs except MGMT to make it able, to add hosts. MGMT is running on a 1 Gbps connection, while SAN and Live Migration are each on their own 25 Gbps fiber optic adapters. I can reach everything and it's working. I've also assigned the corresponding labels. I installed CloudStack as a VM and started the setup. All hosts have been added successfully. However, I then got an error that storage cannot be added. By the way, I'm using XCP-NG 8.2 and CloudStack 4.20. In the logs I could see a message for the networks from the zone (i.e. the physical networks) that basically said something like "I can't create a VLAN on a VLAN". This means CloudStack recognized the existing configuration on XCP-NG. I actually thought that by assigning the labels I was telling it which physical network to use, and not that CloudStack should try to create a new one. Additionally, I can't access the Secondary Storage. Unlike Primary Storage, which is connected through the hosts, it seems CloudStack wants to reach Secondary Storage via the MGMT interface of the Cloudstack VM. That obviously doesn't work, because only the SAN interface/adapter has the necessary connectivity. How can I tell CloudStack to use exactly this path via the SAN adapter? Adding a PIF with an IP address from the SAN network didn't help. Please don't stone me — I've read a lot and implemented quite a bit in this POC, but these points just aren't becoming clear to me. Many thanks in advance for your help! Best regards Bastian GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/discussions/13369 ---- This is an automatically sent email for [email protected].
