Cloud Director Setup - VMware CLOUD DIRECTOR 1.0 Configuration Manual

Cloud Director Setup

After all hosts in the Cloud Director cluster are installed and connected to the database, you can use the Cloud
Director Setup wizard to initialize the cluster's database with a license key, system administrator account, and
related information. After this wizard completes, you can use the Cloud Director Web Console to complete
the initial provisioning of your Cloud.
The Cloud Director Web Console provides a comprehensive set of tools for provisioning and managing a
Cloud. It includes a Quickstart feature that guides you through steps like attaching a Cloud Director cluster
to vCenter and creating an Organization. Before you can run the Cloud Director Web Console, you must run the
Cloud Director Setup wizard, which gathers the information that the Web Console requires before it can start.
After the wizard has finished, it starts the Web Console and displays the login screen.
Prerequisites
Complete the installation of all Cloud Director hosts, and verify that Cloud Director services have started on
all hosts.
Procedure
1 Open a Web browser and connect to the URL that the configuration script displays when it completes.
N To discover the URL of the Cloud Director Setup wizard after the script has exited, look up the
OTE
fully qualified domain name associated with the IP address you specified for the HTTP service during
installation of the first server host and use it to construct a URL of the form https://fully-qualified-domain-
name (for example, https://mycloud.example.com). You can connect to the wizard at that URL.
