Marcus, the parameter “system.vm.use.local.storage” was already set to false. That parameter does not make any sense to me; it seems that it is not used, at least for Xen.
Abhinandan Prateek, I did not configure it erroneously. I configured NFS storage to store users VMs (primary storage), I am not using local storage for anything, but sadly I was forced to create a local SR into every host. I had exchanged some emails about that in the users list a while ago: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cloudstack-users/201309.mbox/%3CCAG97radxdiUaim7-W5nw-BAcvTFV0MgD6RJzB64=uervm89...@mail.gmail.com%3E The problem seems to be here: com.cloud.hypervisor.xen.resource.XcpOssResource.createPatchVbd(Connection, String, VM) That class do not use the parameter “system.vm.use.local.storage”, it forced us to add a local SR in the host. Then it deploys the systemvm-vdi into that “_host.localSRuuid”. http://fossies.org/dox/apache-cloudstack-4.4.2-src/XcpOssResource_8java_source.html Is that behavior expected? I have lived with that since CS 4.1.1 (I am using 4.3.0) and it seems to be the same in 4.4.
