Hi Harikrishna, thank you for your reply! I am aware of the Shapeblue blog, and I really enjoy the content but sometimes it just doesn't fit to specific PoCs of mine.
Nevertheless, after a lot of hours of research, I think that in my case I hit on an issue that is on hold as it is described here https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/3598 And for the purpose of completeness, I include the link of the discussion mentioned in the last message on the Github Issue page about Christian from the Fraunhofer institute which probably hit the same problem with me. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cloudstack-users/201909.mbox/browser I will work on the same PoC using ESXi 6.7 hosts, and ACS 4.13.1 and try to report back. regards, Matt On Wed, Mar 24, 2021 at 7:51 AM Harikrishna Patnala < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Matthew, > > Yes, SolidFire as a managed storage is supported in 4.13. > You are getting the error while management server is trying to access the > primary storage, though I'm not sure how the volume is getting created.
