Storage Tags for System Services / SSVM etc..

[Stephan Seitz <s....@secretresearchfacility.com>]

Hi!

We're currently migrating Storages and only the Virtual Routers,
Console Proxy and Secondary Storage VM are left on our old Storage.

Since we want to get rid of that Storage, I need a way for provisioning
the System VMs to the new Storage.

Using ACS 4.8.0 with XenServer 6.5, I've done following:
- Mark one LUN on our new Storage as "default" in XenCenter
-> Provisioning of System VMs doesn't respect that
- Added the respective Storage-Tags to System Offerings (I used mysql
and restarted cloudstack-management, since I found no other way)
-> System VMs are unable to start after destroying them. So I reverted
the Tags to NULL to get the System VMs up again. Now, they're located
on different LUNs like before...

TLDR; Do you know any way to force the Disks of the respective VMs
located on a specific Storage?

Thanks in advance!

- Stephan

Add the new storage and put the old storage into maintenance. I think this will force system VM to restart on new storage

Thanks
