Hi ilya,
I'm not sure if your received any my answers, i will provide again: 1. Are these physical dedicated servers or VMs? Yes, are physical dedicated. 2. How much disk-space do you have on each host and CPU? 2TB on each server, Xeon D-1520 3. Is this DEV/POC environment or you want to use as playground or server production workload? ' Yes, I installed like for production and intend to use for PROD 4. This seems pretty straightforward, do you have DNS server? Using hosts file is less than ideal on cloudstack system VMs that are ephemeral.. I, don't have internal DNS, only external, but i can also setup an internal DNS.

How much disk-space do you have on each host and CPU? Is this DEV/POC environment or you want to use as playground or serve production workload? Reasons why i'm asking, depending on configs for each box, we can alter the setup to make it more resilient. > > Network: > > Each server have 2 x NIC, private (vRack) andpublic just for > server traffic > > Management IP's used on this configuration 172.11.0.0/24 > *(a)* 172.11.0.2 CS MGMT (cloudvm.my.domain) > *(b)* 172.11.0.11 vCenter ( vscsp001.my.domain ) > *(c)* 172.11.0.101 ESXI -(vSwitch0 Public network for this > server ) (vSwitch1 Private network in vRack and used for Management > traffic and Guest ) > > > 1.
