Re: Secondary storage doesn't work
Hi Andy, Make sure when you navigate to Infrastructure -> System VMs, you have statuses of Running and Up. Also, check if you can navigate to the "https://"; IP address of the Secondary storage VM from your browser before uploading from local.

The host value has the correct IP so I didn't make any changes there.

Re: Secondary storage doesn't work
Hi Andy, No worries, have a look at what is set in the global variable "host". You can find global variables by going to Configuration -> Global Settings. You can use the search field to narrow down the options. If you must make a change there, try destroying the system VMs after changing the setting.

Re: Secondary storage doesn't work
First off, sorry for the dup post. 2nd, sorry for the late reply, and 3rd, my apologies for being such an idiot. I found that I missed the system VM template step completely in all the times I go through the steps. That said, I got the system VM up, and now getting different error, that it can't find the server. I checked the log, it says it can't resolve the server name I provided, which is odd. I made sure the name resolves through the DNS, I also made the entry in host file on the management VM, host machine, and my own. There's no problem resolving the name from CLI. The only place I haven't done anything is the system VM that's created from template, but logically it should just pull from DNS on the network, right?

Re: Secondary storage doesn't work
Hi Andy, I agree with Ed. The error you are receiving means the Secondary Storage System VM has not started and is not in the correct state to download the iso. Cloudstack needs to start two System VMs for it to be operational, Console Proxy VM and Secondary Storage VM. But before it can do that, it needs a template to build the VMs from. You must execute the script from the management server that will upload the correct system VM template to your secondary storage first before the SSVM and CPVM can be started. Only then will you be able to register an iso. https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/installguide/management-server/index.html#prepare-the-system-vm-template You can find the Cloudstack logs under /var/log/cloudstack/ Regards Darrin From: Edward St Pierre Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2021 12:38 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: Secondary storage doesn't work Hi Andy, Have you prepared the system VM template?

Secondary storage doesn't work
Short version: identical nfs export for primary and secondary. Primary works fine, secondary mounts but doesn't write. Long version: I asked this on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/cloudstack/comments/o8rbsb/secondary_storage_help_please/ but didn't get much light on the matter. Hypervisor host: Alma Linux + QEMU KVM + Cloudstack Agent + nfsd Start a VM, also run Alma Linux + Cloudstack Management. Mount both primary and secondary via the web interface, that completed without error. Went and add ISO and I got "Request Failed (530) There is no secondary storage VM for downloading template to image store Secondary" I can manually mount the NFS shares and read/write to it from inside the VM without problem, so it's clearly not NFS nor permission problem. Any help on where I may start with troubleshooting? What log should I be looking at?
