2. In the left navigation bar, click Regions.

4. Click the Remove Region button.
5. Repeat these steps for <region.2.IP.address>:8080/client.
7.3. Adding a Zone
Adding a zone consists of three phases:
• Create a mount point for secondary storage on the Management Server.
• Seed the system VM template on the secondary storage.
• Add the zone.
7.3.1. Create a Secondary Storage Mount Point for the New Zone
To be sure the most up-to-date system VMs are deployed in new zones, you need to seed the latest
system VM template to the zone's secondary storage. The first step is to create a mount point for the
secondary storage. Then seed the system VM template.
1. On the management server, create a mount point for secondary storage. For example:
# mkdir -p /mnt/secondary
2. Mount the secondary storage on your Management Server. Replace the example NFS server
name and NFS share paths below with your own.
# mount -t nfs nfsservername:/nfs/share/secondary /mnt/secondary
3. Secondary storage must be seeded with a template that is used for CloudPlatform system VMs.
Use the steps in Section 5.4.10, “Prepare the System VM Template”. Then return here and
continue with adding the zone.
7.3.2. Steps to Add a New Zone
When you add a new zone, you will be prompted to configure the zone’s physical network and add the
first pod, cluster, host, primary storage, and secondary storage.
1. Be sure you have first performed the steps to seed the system VM template.
2. Log in to the CloudPlatform UI as the root administrator. See Section 6.2, “Log In to the UI”.
3. In the left navigation, choose Infrastructure.
4. On Zones, click View More.
5. Click Add Zone. The zone creation wizard will appear.
6. Choose one of the following network types:
• Basic. For AWS-style networking. Provides a single network where each VM instance is
assigned an IP directly from the network. Guest isolation can be provided through layer-3
means such as security groups (IP address source filtering).
