In addition to above settings, the adminstrator is responsible for setting the 'host' global config value
from the management server IP to load balancer virtual IP address. If the 'host' value is not set to the
VIP for Port 8250 and one of your management servers crashes, the UI is still available but the system
VMs will not be able to contact the management server.
5.4.10. Prepare the System VM Template
Secondary storage must be seeded with a template that is used for CloudPlatform system VMs.
Note
When copying and pasting a command, be sure the command has pasted as a single line before
executing. Some document viewers may introduce unwanted line breaks in copied text.
1. On the Management Server, run one or more of the following cloud-install-sys-tmplt commands
to retrieve and decompress the system VM template. Run the command for each hypervisor type
that you expect end users to run in this Zone.
If your secondary storage mount point is not named /mnt/secondary, substitute your own mount
point name.
If you set the CloudPlatform database encryption type to "web" when you set up the database, you
must now add the parameter -s <management-server-secret-key>. See About Password and Key
Encryption.
This process will require approximately 5 GB of free space on the local file system and up to 30
minutes each time it runs.
