Oliver, A good place to start is here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/SSVM%2C+templates%2C+Secondary+storage+troubleshooting
Unfortunately there could be any number of reasons your System VMs are not appearing, can you share more info about your infrastructure, eg CloudStack Version, Hypervisor type, Networking model and number of NICs, Physical Network Traffic Labels, Storage etc Also if you can upload the logs to somewhere like http://pastebin.com it will help the community to help you Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Olivier Desport [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 10 July 2013 08:16 To: [email protected] Subject: Unable to laucn system VM Hi, I've executed the command : /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt -m /export/secondary -u http://download.cloud.com/templates/acton/acton-systemvm-02062012.qcow2.bz2 -h kvm -F The qcow2 file appears in /export/secondary/template/tmpl/1/3/ The secondary storage appears in the UI but not the system VM. So I can't create a new instance by using the template provided by cloudstack (Admin guide - 5.2.1).
