In this section we will create a second vCD Cell without a need for load balancing.
We will need the following:
RedHat Linux VM (RHEL) 5 or 6 (6.3 is the highest version with vCD 5.1.2)
vCloud Director Binary
vCD shared directory (NFS)
Root credentials for RHEL VM
We will now configure a second cell without load balancing.
Perform the following steps as a preparation of the first cell:
Log in to the existing first cell.
Gain root access if you haven't already.
Run the following command to copy the
Config
files to the shared directory:cd /opt/vmware/vcloud-director cp etc/responses.properties data/transfer chown vcloud:vcloud data/transfer/responses.properties
Write down the IDs of the vCloud user and group (we will need that later on). Use the following commands:
id –u vcloud id –g vcloud
