ok we caved in and finally hijacked a vlan capable switch and reconfigured our whole environment to comply with CS and its requirements for vlans We literally reconfigured our whole environment to accommodate the forced use of VLANs by cloudstack for advanced networking. Everything prior ran perfectly with XCP and no VLANs, multi-homed systems, XCP hosts and all VMs had a public and a private interface, and backups worked fine. however adding CS, we have now had to reconfigure everything (65 machines now require VLAN tags) ...... so consider us assimilated and trying to play nice it is currently to the point where we wish to configure XCP hosts and get them on the vlan...... to no avail......... Im sure someones configured XCP hosts for VLANs but we cant find anything other really then this
http://ronnybull.com/2011/08/03/xen-cloud-platform-xcp-setting-up-a-vlan/ which we tried and it doesnt appear to work..... after plugging the XCP host into a vlan 500 tagged port we couldnt ping the ip any hints on how to get past this blocker............. So close....... yet soooooooooooooo far..........
