Hi Chandon:

One more follow-up ...
Can you please be more specific as to which API or APIs=20
can be used to add a Network Service Provider Appliance?

The unsorted grouping of API types and API names in this
reference didn't help me find what I need:

http://download.cloud.com/releases/3.0.0/api_3.0.0/TOC_User.html


Also, is there any way from the CloudStack Management GUI
that the Network Service Provider Appliance can be configured?


Regards,
Evan

Hello Evan,

The APIs that are used to add a Hypervisor Host and a Network Service Provi=
der Appliance are different. Hence Netscaler SDX cannot be added using the =
same API used to add a Hypervisor. It needs to be added as a Network Servic=
e Provider Appliance. API Reference document will provide you with the nece=
ssary information pertaining to which API needs to be used. Location of the=
 API Reference document: http://docs.cloud.com/CloudStack_Documentation/API=
_Reference%3A_CloudStack

Thank you,
Chandan.

Hi:

It appears that CloudStack v3.0.1 doesn't support having a SDX box (not a H=
ypervisor) as a host in any cluster.

Here is the log error message in catalina.out on the CloudStack Management =
Server that I got when I tried to add a non-hypervisor (SDX NS19500) to an =
existing pod:

Any discussions or plans for doing so in the future?

I realize that hypervisors work and are probably required. However, in our =
test lab, we could see some advantages to being able to add a SDX as a host=
 in a CloudStack cluster.
