cloudstack installation

I'm trying to install CloudStack to test when I enter this command as per
the instructions:
/usr/lib64/cloud/common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt -m
/mnt/secondary -u
http://download.cloud.com/templates/acton/acton-systemvm-02062012.vhd.bz2 -h
xenserver -s  -F

 

I get the error message no such file or directory 

 

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. 

 

A little off topic maybe someone can share some of their insight as to if
I'm on the right track, the reason I'm evaluating CloudStack is because I
want to host my own application for resale as a subscription. I'm
contemplating provisioning each client with their own VM. Is CloudStack a
good solution for what I'm trying to do?

 

Thanks

Hello Carlos,

/usr/lib64/cloud/common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmpl

or

/mnt/secondary


is missing.
Other then that, Cloudstack is a IaaS solution, so you can provision 
automated resources (GUI or API)  and
also some sort of billing capabilities are included. At least cloudstack 
is collecting the usage data. But I haven't looked into that.
There are also a lot of other IaaS solutions out there but I found 
cloudstack better documented and somehow more mature compared to
other projects. They look sometimes still like unfinished software.

Hi Carlos,
I noticed your 2nd paragraph below.  Offering a software in a SaaS model has its advantages - all the users are on the same version at the same time, there are no software installation issues, and the users can - in theory - access it from anywhere.  The reality is your software will be measured on user experience as much as business purpose.  Citrix has a ton of experience architecting solutions for application performance, and combined with our cloud expertise, our consulting team can likely help you develop an architecture for the delivery of your application for great user experience.  Let me know if you'd like to discuss this.  I will need to know where your business is located to connect you with the appropriate Citrix representative.
