Hi ilya, I used basic zone, and i did like in your example, i also created an internal DNS, everything is working for now.
Thank you !! Regards, Cristian On 16.02.2016 02:23:40, ilya <ilya.mailing.li...@gmail.com> wrote: Cristian What zone setup have you used? Do you have to leverage cloudstack's routers and vpc feature or can you piggy back of physical infrastructure. Lastly, here is how i would do this setup. On all 3 hosts, install vSphere. On host 1, install vCenter with windows 2010 - use 24GB of RAM, on CloudStack - 8GB is more than enough. I'd strongly suggest you use real DNS service, you can deploy a virtual appliance that manages DNS, or just do basic linux install with Bind. Alternatively, you can consider merging DNS with your vCenter 2010 windows server (or cloudstack). The other 2 hosts, can be used as VmWare nodes in a single cluster. >From then on, its fairly straightforward. Let me know what steps you take and if you can start from scratch..
