Secondary Storage is used for storing templates,etc. In this section we will setup a nfs serve at our Cobbler Server(Since Cobbler Server) will always stay alive during the deployment period), and use it as the secondary storage for CloudStack usage.
Setup a NFS Server on 10.15.33.2, which is your Cobbler Server, via following steps:
# vim /etc/exports
/home/exports *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
# mkdir -p /home/exports
# chmod 777 -R /home/exports/
# chkconfig nfs on
# chkconfig rpcbind on
# service nfs restart
# service rpcbind restart
# iptables -D INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
# vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables
-D INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Test it on Mgmt node or Agent node via:
# mount -t nfs 10.15.33.2:/home/exports/ /mnt
# touch /mnt/abc
# ls /mnt
abc
Use following command for importing the template:
# mount -t nfs 10.15.33.2:/home/exports/ /mnt
# /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt \
-m /mnt -u \
http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/systemvm/4.5/systemvm64template-4.5-kvm.qcow2.bz2 \
-h kvm -F
# ls /mnt
template
Using the imported systemvm template, we could startup the systemvm, and let CloudStack really become usable.
