vCloud Director Setup 4
After you configure all servers in the vCloud Director server group and connect them to the database, you
can initialize the server group's database with a license key, system administrator account, and related
information. When this process is complete, you can use the vCloud Director Web Console to complete the
initial provisioning of your cloud.
Before you can run the vCloud Director Web Console, you must run the Setup wizard, which gathers the
information that the Web Console requires before it can start. After the wizard is finished, the Web Console
starts and displays the login screen. The vCloud Director Web Console provides a set of tools for
provisioning and managing a cloud. It includes a Quickstart feature that guides you through steps like
attaching vCloud Director to vCenter and creating an organization.
Prerequisites
n
Complete the installation of all vCloud Director servers, and verify that vCloud Director services have
started on all servers.
n
Verify that you have the URL that the configuration script displays when it completes.
NOTE To discover the URL of the Setup wizard after the script exits, look up the fully qualified domain
name associated with the IP address you specified for the HTTP service during installation of the first
server and use it to construct a URL of the form https://fully-qualified-domain-name, for example,
https://mycloud.example.com. You can connect to the wizard at that URL.
Complete the installation of all vCloud Director servers, and verify that vCloud Director services have
started on all servers.
