RE: Issue adding a second zone to Cloudstack

[Sean Lair]

Thank you for the reply Vivek!  I was wondering if that was the case but just 
couldn't find any documentation to verify.  We've done that and are back on the 
right path!

Hello Sean,

You need to again seed the template to the secondary storage of your new zone 
just like you did for the first zone.

i.e
/usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt 
-m /mnt/secondary -u 
http://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.11/systemvmtemplate-4.11.3-kvm.qcow2.bz2
 

 -h kvm -s  -F

Re:Does CloudStack support VMWare vSAN ?

[Sven Vogel]

i agree with Andrija.

Do you run VSAN with Cloudstack or is it only the question to use it
with VM ingestion?


Cheers

Hi, All

It’s exciting to see the new feature ‘VM Ingestion’ (PR 3606#)
recently merged which allows CloudStack to discover, on-board, import
existing VMs in VMWare environment.

That brings me a question that if CloudStack currently supports the
VMware VMs ingestion if they are running with vSAN ?

I saw some topic in CCC 2017 that vSAN would be supported,  but not
sure if the feature is already there.

Thanks !
