The behaviour should be to delay until there is a SSVM available. I don't
know if that is even possible in CloudStack, I don't want you to sleep().
Is there any way to delay? Something else in the system should be ensuring
that a SSVM is running and available (what I don't know...). If you can't
delay, it is far better in my mind to send an error to the user than to try
to do the operation on the mgmt server.
I think it is very dangerous to have this code that routes to localhost
because in a production setup ACS will have the sudo access to
mount/mkdir. But the server may not have network access, so you run the
chance of mounting the NFS and having it hang almost indefinitely which can
cause system instability for the mgmt server.
The specific issue I have right now is that for some reason on master, the
allocator is not working for me anymore. So SSVM doesn't deploy. If I
restart the mgmt stack, on host connect it tries to download templates so
it sends a command and it goes to LocalHostEndPoint.
