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

  1. 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.
  2. Remove all network modifications on your Hypervisors/Cluster created by CS
  3. Remove all storage modifications on your Hypervisors/Cluster created by CS
  4. Remove all the content from NFS primary and secondary datastore (i'm making assumption that data is not needed) or presently a new primary and secondary NFS datastore
  5. 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
