Hi, In my organization we use dhcp and connect to internet through the proxy server. Since it is advised not to use dhcp during cloud installation process i followed below approach.
I connected two laptops using crossover cable and given IP addresses as 192.168.1.5 for Management Server node and 192.168.1.2 for Cloudstack-agent node. I could successfully install Management Server on 192.168.1.2 and added host (192.168.1.5) to it after installing cloudstack-agent on 192.168.1.5. I could also login to system vm deployed on 192.168.1.5 using ssh in to system vm. Up to this I did not configure internet on my laptops. However, when I am clicking on CentOS5.5....nogui(KVM) link in Templates page, the default template is not getting downloaded whereas SystemVM template status is being shown as Download complete. What I had done is I downloaded systemvm template from internet on another machine and used -f option instead of -h option while executing cloud-install-sys-tmplt command on ManagementServer node. Later i configured my cloudstack-agent node with wlan for getting access to internet. I am able to log in to systemvm using ssh command. Now the question is how to setup the default centos5.5 vm on my host (192.168.1.5). I am unable to see download complete under status column in Zones tab when I click on CentOS5.5...nogui(KVM) link though I the host can connect to internet on dhcp based ip assigned to wlan interface on my cloudstack-agent node. -- Regds, Satya
