Hi Noa, What was the error you were getting in the logfile?
Kind Regards, Tariq Iqbal Senior Consultant S: +44(0)20 3603 0540 | M: +44(0)790 9911600 tariq.iq...@shapeblue.com | www.shapeblue.com | Twitter:@shapeBlue ShapeBlue Ltd, 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS Visit us on stand 291 at Cloud Expo Europe ________________________________________ From: Noa Resare (JIRA) [j...@apache.org] Sent: 17 January 2013 20:36 To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: [jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-1004) add to install guide: fqdn required when adding secondary storage Noa Resare created CLOUDSTACK-1004: -------------------------------------- Summary: add to install guide: fqdn required when adding secondary storage Key: CLOUDSTACK-1004 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1004 Project: CloudStack Issue Type: Improvement Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.) Reporter: Noa Resare Priority: Minor I set up a fresh test install of cloudstack 4.0 now and ran into some problems. It turned out that the secondary storage VM could not mount the secondary storage via NFS because the NFS URI configured when setting up the zone only held the hostname and not hostname plus fully qualified domain name. This worked fine when testing mounts form the hypervisors (that had a properly configured search path) but the secondary storage VM doesn't have it's domain configured to match the rest of the machines, so secondary storage operation failed. The error I got in the logfile was kind of unhelpful when tracking down this, so a brief note in the installation instruction would have been nice. I propose we change item 11 of section 6.2.2 of the installation instruction, replacing "The IP address of the server" with "The IP address or fully qualified hostname of the server. Please note that only the hostname will not work, as the secondary storage VM will not be able to properly resolve the hostname" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
