Configure Network and Database Connections

After Cloud Director software is installed on the host, the installer prompts you to run a script that configures
network and database connection details.
You must install Cloud Director software on the host before you can run the configuration script. The installer
prompts you to run the script after installation has completed, but you can choose to run it later. To run the
script as a separate operation after the Cloud Director software has been installed, log in as root, open a console,
shell, or terminal window, and type:
/opt/vmware/cloud-director/bin/configure
The configuration script creates network and database connections for a single Cloud Director server host. The
script also creates a response file that preserves database connection information for use in subsequent server
installations.
