Prepare the operating system
Install and configure the management server
Install and configure MySQL
6.1. Operating System Preparation
The CloudStack Management Server requires RHEL/CentOS 5.4 64 bit or later, or Fedora 14 or later. The OS must be prepared to host the Management Server using the following steps.
Note
NTP configuration is highly recommended. Installing and configuring ntp or chrony should be done on all hosts
Edit the /etc/hosts file to make sure that the Management Server has a fully-qualified host name that resolves to an IP address.
Note
The above will make the management server work, but in a production environment the host name should be configured via DNS
Log in as root. All the subsequent steps should be run as root.
Ensure that the SELinux variable in /etc/selinux/config is set to permissive.
Run the following command to disable SELinux in the current session.
# setenforce permissive
Note
Performing both of the above steps is mandatory to avoid a reboot.
Make sure that the Management Server can reach the Internet.
