spending 8hrs a day to practice cloud stack!!
Hi All:
I'm sitting for 8 to 10 hours on cloudstack to learn and practice.
To create a system template ...............with the following command
(/usr/lib64/cloud/agent/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt
-m /mnt/secondary -u
http://download.cloud.com/templates/acton/acton-systemvm-02062012.vhd.bz2-h
xenserver )
it is taking 40 minutes to download the template.
Do I need to download the template every time I install cloud stack or
Can I store the template on a separate pendrive and store it in a secondary
storage instead of directly downloading from the net?
My practice goes like this...
1. install the os (CENTOS)
2. install cloud stack / mysql /system template,
3. Adding host etc.
but downloading template ...it is taking much time ...
is there any alternatives please...??
Regards
prakash

Marc - There are 2 options - small case f which means the system vm template file and upper case F which is for clearing the system vm template. So the user can keep a local copy of system vm template and pass that file path in the script without wasting time on downloading it every time.
Usage: cloud-install-sys-tmplt: -m <secondary storage mount point> -f <system vm template file> [-h <hypervisor name: kvm|vmware|xenserver> ] [ -s <mgmt server secret key, if you specified any when running cloud-setup-database, default is password>][-u <Url to system vm template>] [-F <clean up system templates of specified hypervisor>] [-e <Template suffix, e.g vhd, ova, qcow2>] [-o <Database server hostname or ip, e.g localhost>] [-r <Database user name, e.g root>] [-d <Database password. Fllowed by nothing if the password is empty>]
or
cloud-install-sys-tmplt: -m <secondary storage mount point> -u <http url for system vm template> [-h <hypervisor name: kvm|vmware|xenserver> ] [ -s <mgmt server secret key>]

hi,
-f switch is to clear previous system templates for selected hypervisor (I
think). You can download the systemvm image and serve it from a webserver
in your LAN.
