Prepare the System VM Template
19
5.2. 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, make sure that you have pasted the command as a
single line. 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.
2. 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>.
This process will require approximately 5 GB of free space on the local file system and up to 30
minutes each time it runs.
