Adding interface to system VMs

[Wei Leong <wl...@blackducksoftware.com>]

Hi all,

Is it possible to add a second interface to the system VMs that is bound to another bridge on the hypervisor?  Our storage network is on a different interface (with an un-routable IP space) than CloudStack expects it on and the system VM cannot reach it without a second interface.

Thanks,
Wei

you definitely can do this. :) instructions on doing this can be found here:

It is possible but CloudStack won't orchestrate it.  However, CloudStack does have the concept of a storage network which is what ssvm uses to access the nfs storage.  With that defined, ssvm will have a nic in the network you defined.  Have you tried using that?
