Yes we can add a nic(vif) to a vpx in the management network and ensure reach ability to the CS mgmt server. But how about the CS mgmt ports such as 8080/443 - they may be blocked by intermediate firewall/VR? Also please note unlike SSVM from vpx we may be able to issue a finite ( restricted) set of CS API calls so we may not be able to issue firewall rule related API calls. Also the load balancer devices can be placed into network from outside the context of CloudStack and later the device can be added into CloudStack using addNetscalerLoadbalancer()API. So to put it another way - Can the VMs spread across various guest networks reach out to the CS mgmt server using a same IP ? Thanks, Ram
