Step #01: Check server version and ip address.

root@cloud:~# lsb_release -a && ip r
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial
default via 10.66.100.10 dev enp0s3 onlink
10.66.0.0/16 dev enp0s3  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.66.100.25

Must be add google name server for internet connectivity properly working.

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8

Then server update and upgrade using below command.

root@cloud:~# apt update && apt upgrade -y
root@cloud:~# apt autoremove -y

Check hosts file using below command.

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.66.11.25 cloud.technologyrss.local cloud
10.66.11.24 nfs.technologyrss.local nfs
10.66.11.26 kvm.technologyrss.local kvm

Check hostname file using below command.

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/hostname
cloud

Step #02: Check network interface static IP address.

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces

As like below output.

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto enp0s3
iface enp0s3 inet static
        address 10.66.100.25
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        gateway 10.66.100.10

Then reboot your server using below command.

root@cloud:~# reboot

After reboot server then add again google dns server ip on resolv.conf.

root@cloud:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8

Step #03: Install dependency package Mysql database.

root@cloud:~# hostname --fqdn
root@cloud:~# ping cloudstack.apache.org
root@cloud:~# apt-get install -y openntpd openssh-server sudo vim htop tar intel-microcode bridge-utils mysql-server
root@cloud:~# add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
root@cloud:~# apt-get update
root@cloud:~# apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jdk

Add Cloud Stack repo and then install it.

root@cloud:~# echo deb http://download.cloudstack.org/ubuntu xenial 4.15 / > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudstack.list
root@cloud:~# wget -O - http://download.cloudstack.org/release.asc|apt-key add -
root@cloud:~# apt-get -y update
root@cloud:~# apt-get install -y cloudstack-management cloudstack-usage

Step #04: Configure Mysql database on Apache Cloud Stack.

root@cloud:~# vi /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Add all below lines into this file under [mysqld] section.

server_id = 1
sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
innodb_rollback_on_timeout=1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout=600
max_connections=1000
log-bin=mysql-bin
binlog-format = 'ROW'

Then save and exit. Press Esc type :wq then press Enter.

root@cloud:~# systemctl restart mysql

Step #05: Setup CloudStack database using below command.

root@cloud:~# cloudstack-setup-databases cloud:cloud@localhost --deploy-as=root:passw0rd

If you all all status is OK. 

Mysql user name:cloud                                                           [ OK ]
Mysql user password:******                                                      [ OK ]
Mysql server ip:localhost                                                       [ OK ]
Mysql server port:3306                                                          [ OK ]

CloudStack has successfully initialized database, you can check your database configuration in /etc/cloudstack/management/db.properties

Then run below command for check all is working fine.

root@cloud:~# cloudstack-setup-management
Starting to configure CloudStack Management Server:
Configure Firewall ... [OK]
Configure CloudStack Management Server ...[OK]
CloudStack Management Server setup is Done!

Check log file using below command.

root@cloud:~# tail -f /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log

If you some error so must be check Java version using below command.

root@cloud:~# alternatives --config java

Wait at least few minute then access web url using your server ip address.

http://10.66.11.20:8080/client/

Default login as like below.

Username : admin
Password : password

Change some global configuration for private cloud system. After login go to Global configuration and search below config and change it.

system.vm.use.local.storage  [ set false to -> true
ca.plugin.root.auth.strictness  [ set true to -> false
secstorage.allowed.internal.sites [ set local download iso web server or public

Then must be restart ACS service.

root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl stop cloudstack-management.service
root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl start cloudstack-management.service

Step #06: Setup nfs connection and add local domain name.

root@cloud:~# vi /etc/idmapd.conf

Insert below line into idmapd.conf file.

Domain = technologyrss.local  [both management and host server]

Restart rpcbind service using below command.

root@cloud:~# service rpcbind restart
root@cloud:~# chkconfig rpcbind on
root@cloud:~# rpcinfo -p

Step #07: Storage server mount and systemvm download.

root@cloud:~# mkdir -p /mnt/secondary
root@cloud:~# mount -t nfs 10.66.100.24:/mnt/secondary /mnt/secondary
root@cloud:~# /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt -m /mnt/secondary -u http://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.15/systemvmtemplate-4.15.1-kvm.qcow2.bz2 -h kvm -F

Then umount mounted folder.

root@cloud:~# umount /mnt/secondary
root@cloud:~# rm -rf /mnt/secondary

Note: If you use Apache Cloud Stack Management server as nfs server so don’t remove this directory.

Restart Apache Cloud Stack service.

root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl stop cloudstack-management.service
root@cloud:~# /bin/systemctl start cloudstack-management.service
