Prepare the Operating System

Prepare the Operating System The OS of the Host must be prepared to host the &PRODUCT; Agent and run KVM instances. Log in to your OS as root. Check for a fully qualified hostname. hostname --fqdn This should return a fully qualified hostname such as "kvm1.lab.example.org". If it does not, edit /etc/hosts so that it does. Make sure that the machine can reach the Internet. ping www.cloudstack.org Turn on NTP for time synchronization. NTP is required to synchronize the clocks of the servers in your cloud. Unsynchronized clocks can cause unexpected problems. Install NTP On RHEL or CentOS: yum install ntp On Ubuntu: apt-get install openntpd Repeat all of these steps on every hypervisor host.
