I have re-checked Rohit's blog page and also checked the devcloud2 box, and I have mistakenly thought that the line beginning with '$ #preseed ..' was a comment, but instead it seems to be another step that I needed to perform.
The steps on Rohit's blog are: $ mkdir -p /opt/storage/secondary $ mkdir -p /opt/storage/primary $ hostuuid=`xe host-list |grep uuid|awk '{print $5}'` $ xe sr-create host-uuid=$hostuuid name-label=local-storage shared=false type=file device-config:location=/opt/storage/primary $ echo "/opt/storage/secondary *(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,fsid=0)" > /etc/exports $ #preseed systemvm template, may be copy files from devcloud's /opt/storage/secondary $ /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart Rohit's devcloud2 environment /opt/storage/secondary folder looks like this: root@devcloud:~# tree /opt/storage/secondary/ /opt/storage/secondary/ └── template └── tmpl └── 1 ├── 1 │ ├── edd5d5e5-b363-4926-a85b-d742ddd4a801.vhd │ └── template.properties └── 5 ├── ce5b212e-215a-3461-94fb-814a635b2215.vhd └── template.properties 5 directories, 4 files Question 1) Am I correct in thinking that preseed'ing is a step I need to perform? Question 2) How do I preseed to create the /opt/storage/secondary structure as shown above?
