Prepare NFS Server For CloudStack Management Server

Now I have to show this tutorial prepare NFS Server for cloudstack management server. CloudStack management server needs two nfs share such as primary and secondary. It can be used separate nfs server or used cloudstack mgmt server as nfs server.

I will configure  separate nfs server on cloudstack mgmt server.

Step #01: Install nfs kernel server on ubuntu 14.04

root@cloud-nfs:~#  apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

Step #02: CloudStack  all host, VM, snapshot, volume, iso image and more store on the two directory  such as /primary and /secondary.

• Primary storage store on all running VM on host. At least on primary storage must be configure per zone basis.
• Secondary storage store templates, iso image and disk volume snapshot etc.

Step #03: Create two directory /mnt/primary and /mnt/secondary for nfs share.

root@cloud-nfs:~#  mkdir -p /mnt/primary /mnt/secondary

Step #04: Insert /etc/exports file your created directory. Open /etc/exports file and insert below line.

/mnt/primary/ 10.55.0.0/16(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
/mnt/secondary/ 10.55.0.0/16(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

Service nfs kernel server command below.

service nfs-kernel-server start
service nfs-kernel-server stop
service nfs-kernel-server restart
showmount -e

Step #05: Insert public or local domain name on /etc/idmapd.conf below line.

Open your  /etc/idmapd.conf file

root@cloud-nfs:~# vim /etc/idmapd.conf

NEED_STATD=yes
STATDOPTS="--port 662 --outgoing-port 2020"

Step #06: Goto cloud management server for mount /mnt/secondary directory. Create /mnt/secondary directory on your cloud management server.

root@cloud-mgmt:~#  mkdir  /mnt/secondary

Step #08: Mount /mnt/secondary directory from nfs share on your cloud management server.

root@cloud-mgmt:~# mount -t nfs your_nfs_server_ip:/mnt/secondary /mnt/secondary/

If you confuse then goto /mnt/secondary and create “test_directory”. Now goto nfs server /mnt/secondary and check this created directory.

Step #09: Download vhd-util files from below link.

http://download.cloud.com.s3.amazonaws.com/tools/vhd-util

Import downloaded vhd-util file below location.

/usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver

Step #10: Prepare the system VM template. Now run below command for download system VM. Wait for at least 30 minute or less.

root@cloud-mgmt:~# /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt -m /mnt/secondary/ -u http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/systemvm/4.6/systemvm64template-4.6.0-xen.vhd.bz2 -h xenserver

Step #11: when download completed then umount /mnt/secondary  and remove /mnt/secondary directory from your cloud management server.

root@cloud-mgmt:~# umount /mnt/secondary

root@cloud-mgmt:~# rm -rf /mnt/secondary

Next prepare hosts for cloudstack management server
