RE: unable to add nfs primary storage with xenserver hosts
That's exactly right, Geoff. We've got ESX servers set up this way and it cause us a lot of headache. On the Netapp the vms are using almost no space because they are thin provisioned, but in Cloudstack, my volumes are showing as practically full. This means that we have to massively overprovision storage just so Cloudstack can tell itself that there's adequate space on the storage array.

Re: unable to add nfs primary storage with xenserver hosts
Interesting… I will definitely look into this as I just re-read the Admin guide about that. I am glad I over provisioned the physical storage for our internal needs. Thanks Geoff!

The problem with this approach is that it does not support thin provisioning so you cannot use the storage-overprovisioning settings meaning you will not use your storage efficiently.

unable to add nfs primary storage with xenserver hosts
Hi Guys, I've got two XenServer 6.1 hosts and I am trying to add some Primary Storage to them. When I add the Primary Storage via the cloudstack interface, the SR is created in my XenPool, but the process bombs out in Cloudstack with the following error: Add host failed due to ModifyStoragePoolCommand failedModifyStoragePoolCommand add XenAPIException:Unable to setup heartbeat file entry on SR a9795bae-81bf-9e0c-e657-4d432fd7518d due to #6# heartbeat file /var/run/sr-mount/a9795bae-81bf-9e0c-e657-4d432fd7518d/hb-43190217-d65d-48ea-a17a-06cd48a357a6 doesn't exist host:43190217-d65d-48ea-a17a-06cd48a357a6 pool: 192.168.0.1/vol/nfs_volume The SR is still available on my XenPool and it looks like it's set up properly, just not visible in Cloudstack., Any ideas? Thanks Len
