I reinstalled my single server CloudStack system yesterday, following the quick start guide precisely. The only difference was that I used /var/primary and /var/secondary instead of /primary and /secondary, because the /var partition on this machine is very large. The UI installer reached the point where it says "Creating system VMs (this may take a while)" but never finished. I left it overnight and it still hadn't completed. This is typically the step that fails, most of the times I've installed CloudStack, so I imagine I must be making the same fundamental mistake each time, and I'd like to know what that is.
I checked management.log and it's in a loop where it creates a secondary storage VM, fails to start it, destroys it, and tries again. It says Host 1 is unreachable but I'm using the correct password, SELinux is permissive, and all the iptables rules are in place. In what way is it trying to connect to Host 1? SSH? NFS? Here's a log excerpt of messages related to the SSVM: http://pastebin.com/X11A51bh NFS appears to be functional, since CloudStack automatically mounted the primary storage. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 20G 1.8G 17G 10% / tmpfs 32G 0 32G 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 194M 42M 143M 23% /boot /dev/sda4 1.8T 1.9G 1.7T 1% /var 192.168.100.6:/var/primary 1.8T 1.9G 1.7T 1% /mnt/0594caa2-ceb4-36c6-9b13-0ff149a130af How can I identify whatever it is that's preventing the SSVM from starting? Here is another log excerpt, without any filtering: http://pastebin.com/XsPGJQik
