THIS DOCUMENT IS STILL BEING WORKED ON!!

This guide is geared more towards CS 4.0 (build 140) and vSphere5, however, the same concept should apply to other hypervisors types like KVM and XEN. This is NOT a beginners guide, please use your judgement and substitute values as necessary.

Disclaimer

The CS4.0 build 140 is defined on purpose in this document - there are known UI issues that have been already addressed - however, since no update/patch has been officially released to address these issues (at the time of this writing)  - in order to configure Advanced Networking - we must use API calls to substitute what GUI could not accomplish. The newer releases should address the UI limitations and API calls may not be necessary. Nevertheless, its a good learning experience.

...

If for some reason, the deployment did not go as expected, here are some pointers of what you can do to understand and correct the issue.

  • Inspect the /var/log/cloud/management/management-server.log for specifics of what CloudStack Core does. 
  • Inspect the /var/log/cloud/management/api-server.log to see what API commands have been executed and error details if it failed.
  • Review the Virtual Center Recent Task tab for additional information on what CS does.
