SecondaryStorageVM is independent from NFS. The secondary storage vm is used to download template/ISO, backup snapshot from primary storage to S3 etc. Do you have a problem to start ssvm? AFAIK, system vm template is stored in S3 automatically after mgt server is up, then during ssvm startcommand, mgt server will send a copycommand to hypervisor, to copy the system vm template from S3 into primary storage, if you implement this command properly, then ssvm should be started?
