Configuring the CloudControl Virtual Appliance

The following procedures describe how to configure the CloudControl Virtual Appliance after it has been deployed by vSphere. This requires access to the CloudControl Virtual Appliance Console on the CloudControl VM. After you have finished configuring the virtual appliance, you can use the Entrust CloudControl graphical user interface (GUI) to complete the configuration process.

Depending on whether you intend to create a standalone node or a cluster, use the appropriate procedure: 

• Creating a Standalone Node
• Creating the Primary Node of a Cluster

Note: If you create a standalone node, and decide later to create a cluster, you can use the CLI commands to create a cluster. See Using Clusters in CloudControl.
