Hi Kirk, I'm trying for an "advanced network", since it's a priority to keep wonky private IPs off of the University network. The configuration for guest/mgmt/public traffic, along with the bridge names/kvm traffic labels, is quoted below.
I'll ignore the fact that the gui seems to consistently error (incorrectly) when provisioning a host. However, I think the lack of a storage server VM (which caused the alert state) is keeping me from registering ISOs and templates. They're just not downloading. I looked at the logfile you mentioned, and it appears to me that Cloudstack is designating the wrong network interface on the management server as "private". (See: http://pastebin.com/tFUXGJcq) I particularly enjoy the phrase: "Designating private to be nic publicbr0" However, I see absolutely no way to control this choice/fix the error. I've tried provisioning with and without a storage network, but the management network has always been tied to "privatebr0" (not "publicbr0"). Likewise, when I explicitly put the storage network in there, it has been tied to "privatebr0". I even added the network bridges on the management server just to see if that had an effect. (No) Cloudstack always picks the wrong interface on the management server, and there seems to be no way to correct it. Any thoughts?

I'm guessing advanced since I don't think a basic zone will work. For an advanced zone, you need to decide if the guest networks should be on publicbr0 or privatebr0. If you never plan to add a second host it doesn't really matter, but if you do plan on adding more hosts you should choose the bridge that is connected to a switch that supports VLANs. When going through the wizard, make sure to configure the traffic labels to the correct bridge name. If they are wrong it might be the problem. A blank error in the UI is not common but if the host is "Up" then it can probably be ignored. Errors in the UI are not usually useful anyway so check the management-server.log on the CloudStack server for errors (or upload it to Pastebin and ask on the list for help). The secondary storage alert is normal and can be ignored.
