Installing and Configuring vShield Manager
Each Cloud Director cluster requires access to a vShield Manager host, which provides network services to the
Cloud. Install and configure vShield Manager before you begin installing Cloud Director.
You must have a unique instance of vShield Manager for each vCenter Server you add to Cloud Director. For
information about the network requirements and supported versions of vShield Manager, see “Cloud Director
Hardware and Software Requirements,” on page 10.
Procedure
1 Use the vSphere Client to log in to your vCenter Server.
2 From the File menu, select Deploy OVF Template.
3 Browse to the location of vShield Manager.ovf and follow the rest of the wizard steps to deploy the OVF.
4 After the OVF is deployed, power on the vShield Manager virtual machine and open the console.
5 Log in to the console with the user name admin and password default.
6 At the manager> prompt, type enable.
At the Password: prompt, type default to enable setup mode. When setup mode is enabled, the promote
string changes to manager#.
7 At the manager# prompt, type setup to begin the setup procedure.
8 Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the vShield Manager virtual machine.
You will need this information later when you attach a vCenter Server to Cloud Director.
9 Type exit to log out.
10 Close the console and leave the virtual machine running.
It is not necessary to synchronize vShield Manager with vCenter or register the vShield Manager as a
vSphere Client plug-in when using vShield Manager with Cloud Director.
Creating SSL Certificates
Cloud Director requires the use of SSL to secure communications between clients and servers. Before you install
and configure a Cloud Director cluster, you must create two certificates for each member of the cluster and
import the certificates into host keystores.
Each Cloud Director host requires two SSL certificates, one for each of its IP addresses. You must execute this
procedure for each host that you intend to use in your Cloud Director cluster.
Procedure
1 List the IP addresses for this host.
Use a command like ifconfig to discover this host's IP addresses.
2 For each IP address, run the following command and note the fully-qualified domain name.
nslookup
ip-address
3 Make a note of each IP address, the fully-qualified domain name associated with it, and whether you want
Cloud Director to use the address for the HTTP service or the Console Proxy service on this host.
You will need the hostnames when creating the certificates, and the IP addresses when configuring
network and database connections. Recording the information in a form like the one shown in
Table 1-13 can make it easier to create the certificates and, later, configure network and database
connections.
