Hi,

Thanks, looking forward to your solution.

I tried to do that, for some reason it failed to work for me. So, as a proof of 
concept I made a setup from scratch in which my development env and mgmt 
server/db is on host os and the hypervisor runs separately on VBox. This kind 
of setup may be preferable than a monolithic one?

Just want to share my approach and problems I have with it. The setup:

Two separate default citrix xenserver 6.0.2 (2GB RAM each) running inside VBox, 
one ubuntu linux vm (512MB RAM) to serve as NFS secondary storage, 
'use.local.storage' and 'system.vm.local.storage' set to true in cloudstack's 
global settings. Only host-only network 192.168.0.x/vboxnet0, one NIC on each 
VMs, is used.

My development environment and mgmt server/mysql runs on my host os, mac osx 
10.7.4/8GB RAM using latest apache-cloudstack-git. In this setup, after setting 
up my CS mgmt server I'm able to configure a basic zone with basic shared 
network, using the same IP values as given on wiki, replacing 10.0.2.x with 
192.168.0.x.

The setup seems to work and the system vms get deployed on one of the xenserver 
vm, but the SSVM fails to work. I ssh into the SSVM using it's link-local IP 
via its host xenserver's dom0, and find that the SSVM is unable to reach the 
gateway, 192.168.0.1. All routes, iptables look fine, comments?

Thanks.

Rohit Yadav
