Fairly serious system VM template issue.
Hello all,
One of my co-workers and I just installed a Cloudstack 4.5 system. All seemed well until we started trying to import templates from another system we manage.
The SSVM downloads the image, then check it using the "vhd-util" utility from XenServer.
The error generated is "/bin/vhd-util no such file" or something along those lines. This failure to check the VHD files causes the template imports to fail.
This is apparently is caused by vhd-util being a 32-bit binary, linked to 32-bit libs, and there being no 32-bit libs present on the SSVM image.
Using advice from this article: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/commit/9d8a62d0ee379bf8b67405944c86f68587245db6
we were able to get the system importing templates alright, but this isn't a permanent fix of the system VM template.. if we ever change our SSVM, we lose the modifications.
I'm loathe to modify the SSVM template in the system myself, as I don't have the facilities to test if this change would break other functions such as VR's etc..
If whomever deals with such things could create a new system VM template that contains the libs, or uses a statically-linked vhd-util executable, and let the list know where to get it & how to replace the existing system VM, that would be grand.
Thanks! :)

Todd,
You may use the new systemvm templates from here:
http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/4.5/new/
They include the 32bit binaries and libraries to run vhd-util.

Hi Todd,
This errors pop up once in a while, probably there are some templates that are bad. It will be nice to also note the source of the templates so that they are fixed or removed.
This is one place from where I pick up the templates to test http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/4.5/
