5 Verify that the IaaS service hosted in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is running by
performing the following steps.
a In your browser, go to the URL https://webhostname/Repository/Data/MetaModel.svc to verify
that the Web Repository is running. If successful, no errors are returned and you see a list of
models in XML format.
b Check the status recorded in the Repository.log le on the Web node of the Iaas virtual machine to
see that status reports OK. The le is located in the VCAC home folder at /Server/Model Manager
Web/Logs/Repository.log.
For a distributed IaaS Website, log in to the secondary website, without MMD, and stop Microsoft
IIS temporarily. Check the MetaModel.svc connectivity, and start the Microsoft IIS to ensure that
the load balancer trac is going only through the primary Web node.
