Procedure
1 Specify the IP addresses to use for the HTTP and console proxy services running on this host.
Each member of a server group requires two IP addresses, so that it can support two different SSL
connections: one for the HTTP service an another for the console proxy service. To begin the configuration
process, choose which of the IP addresses discovered by the script should be used for each service.
Please indicate which IP address available on this machine should be used
for the HTTP service and which IP address should be used for the remote console proxy.
The HTTP service IP address is used for accessing the user interface and the REST API.
The remote console proxy IP address is used for all remote console (VMRC) connections
and traffic.
Please enter your choice for the HTTP service IP address:
1: 10.17.118.158
2: 10.17.118.159
Choice [default=1]:2
Please enter your choice for the remote console proxy IP address
1: 10.17.118.158
Choice [default=1]:
2 Specify the full path to the Java keystore file.
Please enter the path to the Java keystore containing your SSL certificates and
private keys:/opt/keystore/certificates.ks
3 Type the keystore and certificate passwords.
Please enter the password for the keystore:
Please enter the private key password for the 'http' SSL certificate:
