Installation Guide

10 Installing CloudSystem Enterprise
CloudSystem Enterprise is an IaaS, PaaS and SaaS solution used for complex cloud provisioning.
Administrators create infrastructure templates and provide them as service offerings in the
Marketplace Portal. Enterprise includes designer software, the Marketplace Portal, and full HP CSA
functionality. See Explanation of solution components (page 6) for a detailed description of
components.
IMPORTANT: Do not change the Foundation base appliance network configuration (host name,
IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, DNS server or alternate DNS server) after Enterprise
is installed. Doing so will break communication between Foundation and Enterprise and you will
not be able to create subscriptions, create or edit designs or manage existing subscriptions in HP
CSA.
Installing the Enterprise appliance
Use the CloudSystem Console to launch the Enterprise installation. When you install Enterprise, a
new virtual appliance is created on the management hypervisor. The entire installation process
should take about 20 minutes.

Why it mattersImportant to know
When the two appliances are out of sync, then you will
not be able to create designs using HP CSA.
The management hypervisors hosting the Foundation
appliance and Enterprise appliance must use the same
NTP servers for time sync.
If Foundation was configured to support DHCP address
assignments, this configuration will apply automatically to
Enterprise and Foundation must use the same IP address
conventions.
Enterprise. If Foundation was configured to support static
IP addresses, you must enter an IP address for the new
Enterprise virtual appliance.
Strong certificate validation may require a change to the
alternate DNS server on the Foundation base
If you want to enable strong OpenLDAP or Active Directory
certificate validation for authentication to the CloudSystem
appliance. Any changes to the Foundation base appliancePortal, review the steps in the “Enabling strong certificate
network configuration must be made before Enterprise isvalidation in the CloudSystem Portal” appendix of the HP
installed, because Enterprise uses these settings to
communicate with Foundation.
