Hi all, I spent a couple of days to make Cloudstack 4.2.1 working with XenServer 6.2, with the option to use local storage for systemVM.
To do so I follow this steps : 1. Do not download vhd-util as said in CloudStack 4.2 install guide, but use one provided by the XenServer 6.2 ISO (/usr/bin/vhd-util). This version have the "-S" option, and resolv the issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-5671 2. Use "xe network-param-set" to set network label. Exemple : xe network-param-set uuid=<xenbrX uuid> name-label=Management/Guest/Public And if you want to use Local SR for systemVM (my personal choice). 3. On XenServer host convert local storage from LVM to ext. I followed this tutorail : http://xmodulo.com/2012/10/how-to-change-xenservers-local-storage.html The local SR was 100% used. So no systemVM template can be copied, and the systemVM failed to start. In /var/log/SMlog on the Xen host, with a full Local SR you can see : xenserver-01 SM: [8005] ['/usr/bin/vhd-util', 'create', '--debug', '-n', '/dev/VG_XenStorage-3a1471bc-9362-84e2- d6ff-483bc4681140/VHD-1a6ba480-26be-4a38-8c26-f5a7a839ae67', '-s', '2000', '-S', '2097152'] [...] xenserver-01 SM: [13150] Not enough space! free space: 1493172224, need: 2109734912 Mar 14 22:19:01 xenserver-01 SM: [13150] Raising exception [44, There is insufficient space] And the command /usr/bin/vhd-util create --debug -n /dev/VG_XenStorage-3a1471bc-9362-84e2-d6ff-483bc4681140/VHD-683585b9-a45f-4b96-b4d6-cedbecf7c0de -s 2000 -S 2097152 will failed with error not enough space on SR. Now you can add your XenServer to Cloudstack, systemVM will be deployed and started. My "first" two pences ;-) Hug
