The script validates the information you supplied, then continues with three more steps.
1 It initializes the database and connects this server to it.
2 It offers to start vCloud Director services on this host.
3 It displays a URL at which you can connect to the Setup wizard after vCloud Director service starts.
This fragment shows a typical completion of the script.
Connecting to the database: jdbc:oracle:thin:vcloud/vcloud@10.150.10.78:1521/vcloud
...........
Database configuration complete.
Once the vCloud Director server has been started you will be able to
access the first-time setup wizard at this URL:
http://vcloud.example.com
Would you like to start the vCloud Director service now? If you choose not
to start it now, you can manually start it at any time using this command:

What to do next
NOTE Database connection information and other reusable responses you supplied during configuration are
preserved in a file located at /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc/responses.properties on this server. This file
contains sensitive information that you must reuse when you add more servers to a server group. Preserve the
file in a secure location, and make it available only when needed.
To add more servers to this group, see “Install vCloud Director Software on Additional Servers,” on
page 29.
After vCloud Director services are running on all servers, you can open the Setup wizard at the URL displayed
when the script completes. See Chapter 4, “vCloud Director Setup,” on page 51.
Protecting and Reusing the Response File
Network and database connection details that you supply when you configure the first vCloud Director server
are saved in a response file. This file contains sensitive information that you must reuse when you add more
servers to a server group. Preserve the file in a secure location, and make it available only when needed.
The response file is created at /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc/responses.properties on the first server for
which you configure network and database connections. When you add more servers to the group, you must
use a copy of the response file to supply configuration parameters that all servers share.
Procedure
1 Protect the response file.
Save a copy of the file in a secure location. Restrict access to it, and make sure it is backed up to a secure
location. When you back up the file, avoid sending cleartext across a public network.
