Configuring TAS

Before You Begin 

Ensure that all of the TAS system requirements have been met. See System Requirements.

Procedure 

1. Log in to CloudControl via SSH.

2. Enter the following command to run the TAS setup:

   asc tas -s

   • Use FQDNs when adding hosts to CloudControl, if the hosts were added to vCenter Server using FQDNs.

   • Use IP Addresses when adding hosts to CloudControl, if the hosts were added to vCenter Server using IP Addresses.

   • Configure and enable an NTP Server for CloudControl.

     Note:

     We recommend using the same NTP server for CloudControl, vCenter, and all hosts in the system. If your NTP server is not set up, minimize the time difference between these systems to less than 5 minutes.

CloudControl can establish platform trust by requesting the TAS server to verify the correct bootable image of hypervisor with the help of Intel TXT on the host platform. Platform trust can also be re-verified at any time and the policies enforced by CloudControl can automatically adjust based on the individual trust status of each host.

For a full list of asc tas commands and their functions, see CloudControl Command Line Interface (CLI).
