Global Parameters
HI
I installed Cloudstack 4.0.2, since i'm using Vmware 5.1 hypervisor I skip the "basic installation" and I selected "I have already used cloudstack tab".
For the next time I logged in getting the same guide page please tell me where I went wrong?
I want to use local storage as primary storage, for that we need to set 2 parameters
1.system.Vm.use.local.storage=true
2. use.local.storage=true
right.
But I didn't found the use.local.storage parameter in the global settings.
For the global parameter mount.parent=/var/lib/cloud/mnt (by default)
My secondary mount point is /export/secondary, where all system VM templates are there.
So I need to change mount.parent=/export/secondary right
If I'm wrong pls correct me.
Anyone suggest me what are the global parameters to be set before adding infrastructure to cloudstack.
Thanks in advance
Chitra.M

RE: Global Parameters
Posted by Chitra Manjunath <Ch...@infosys.com>.
Hi,
Cloudstack build and start the system VMs (SSVM, Console proxy VM, Virtual router) right.
How to use the local storage for the system VMs?
What are the global parameters need to be set?
Default service offerings use shared storage type, Do I need to create service offerings that will use local storage type?
Do I need to update any table in the Mysql DB?
If anyone used local storage for cloudstack System VMs.
Please provide the steps.
Thanks
Chitra. M

Hi,
Enabling local storage for userVMs is now done using zone creation wizard (createZone API). If the zone is already created then you can use "updateZone" API to do that.
About mount.parent setting, this for your hypervisor to automatically mount the secondary NFS on hypervisor. You don't have to worry about this setting.
Thanks,
SWAMY

Hi,
Enabling local storage for userVMs is now done using zone creation wizard
(createZone API). If the zone is already created then you can use
"updateZone" API to do that.
About mount.parent setting, this for your hypervisor to automatically
mount the secondary NFS on hypervisor. You don't have to worry about this
setting.
Thanks,
SWAMY
