I am not sure, I understand it in entirety but I can see the big picture nevertheless. A bit of terminology confuses me. When you say the virtual box, do you take the assumption that I am using some kind of VM like VMWare or something for installing KVM and ACS?
To clarify a bit, I have installed ACS and KVM natively on a single machine and this single machine is acting both as management server and KVM. I am banking on ACS and KVM to do all the virtualization. Before this there is no virtual machine. ________________________________ From: Rafael Weingärtner <rafaelweingart...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2017 1:48:47 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: Problem Adding the Host Ok, I think you can take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking#Private_Virtual_Switch_.28Guest-Only_Network.29 What I meant is the following: create four networks of that type. These networks will be between your KVM box and the VMs, which will run ACS, NFS, and hypervisors hosts (KVM?). Let’s call them Network1, Network2, Network3, Network4. You then attach each one of these VMs in each one of the networks, every VM will have 4 NICs. Then, you select a network to be the public one (let’s say network 4). Then, you can create a forwarding rule for your KVM box, to forward packets from the public network (network 4) to the world. Your box will then work as a router for the VMs public network. Do not forget, that the NIC attached Network 4 has to be the Public NIC configured in ACS. I have created an environment just like that using Virtualbox, I used 4 VMs, one for ACS, one for the NFS, and two for hosts (I used XenServer) Did you understand what I tried to explain?
