Solved my own problem, I think. From what I can tell, the issue relates back to my decision to use openvswitch when setting up KVM on my hosts. If you read the install guide for KVM (http://cloudstack-installation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/hypervisor/kvm.html) it goes over two different network setups – plain old bridging, and openvswitch. Reading that page, and having used openvswitch before, I decided to deploy it over traditional bridging. The network becomes software defined, and life is good.
Well, except if you want to create a VPC. If you go to the documentation page for the OVS plugin (http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/networking/ovs-plugin.html) and read all the way to the very very bottom it says "OVS plugin does not work with VPC at that time”. To test my theory, I built another host, setup the networking the bridge way, and successfully deployed a VPC. Am I correct in my assumption that because I used OVS to setup the host networking that was the cause of my VPC deployment issues? If so, shouldn’t the KVM setup docs be updated to clearly state that if you use OVS then VPCs break? Or is it supposed to work and I found a bug? On 1/21/16, 2:52 PM, "Matthew M.
