Note: This guide is geared more toward CS4 (build 140) and vSphere5, however, the same concept should apply to other hypervisors types like KVM and XEN
What This Guide Covers
- CloudStack Advanced Network Concepts
- Physical Networks and Mapping
- VLAN Tagging
- Usage of Virtual Switches
- Network Offerings
- API Usage and CloudMokey CLI
- Troubleshooting
Assumptions
- Used CloudStack previously and have basic network setup functional
- Able to provision VMs in basic network setup and your setup is fully operational
- Have understanding of basic terminology - go to this page for CS4 Documentation
- Access to your hypervisors and know your network topology
- Minimal experience with using APIs and/or CloudMonkey CLI
Getting Started
If you attempted to create Advanced Networking - but for some reason it did not work and you would like to start over
- If you've tried previously to configure CS within your environment and it has not worked, before you begin, make sure you environment is clean from all previous attempts. I will use VSphere 5 as an example, translate it to a hypervisor of your choice.
- Remove all network modifications on your Hypervisors/Cluster created by CS
- Remove all storage modifications on your Hypervisors/Cluster created by CS
- Remove all the content from NFS primary and secondary datastore (i'm making assumption that data is not needed) or present a new primary and secondary NFS datastore
- Remove all the references from CS about the zone/pod/cluster/storage/networks/hosts you attempted to add but failed
If there are remnants of previous setup - there is a chance your Zone Deployment may fail - therefore, please confirm that your environment is pristine state as it was pre-CloudStack
Step 1: Import system template
