Now  have to show step by step configure cloudStack management server on CentOS 6.5.

Step #01: Must be configure static ip address.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Change hostname open hosts file command line. Example : CloudST-CentOS.local       CloudST-CentOS

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# vi /etc/hosts

All config change then reboot your machine.

Step #02: Install ntp server via command line.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# yum -y install ntp

Check config ntpd service using command below.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# chkconfig ntpd on

Service ntpd start using command below.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# service ntpd start

Step #03: Add CloudStack RPM package repository for updates when the installation process ruining.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudstack.repo

Insert below lines into cloudstack.repo file

[cloudstack]
name=cloudstack
baseurl=http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/centos/6/4.9/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Add the public key to the trusted keys.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# wget -O – http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/release.asc|apt-key add –

Step #04: Configure NFS for manage primary and secondary storage. Install command below:

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]#  yum -y install nfs-utils

Create two directory for primary and secondary storage. Example command below:

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# mkdir -p /mnt/primary /mnt/secondary

Now permanent mount into exports file. Open exports file

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]#  vi /etc/exports

Insert below lines into exports file.

/mnt/secondary 10.44.0.0/16(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
/mnt/primary 10.44.0.0/16(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

Step #05: Configure firewall for incoming NFS connections.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]#  vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Insert all below lines into iptables file.

Check config mysql on

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# chkconfig mysqld on

Step #07: Edit mysql repo file for update from source. Open vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql.repo

Insert all below lines into mysql.repo file.

[mysql-connectors-community]
name=MySQL Community connectors
baseurl=http://repo.mysql.com/yum/mysql-connectors-community/el/$releasever/$basearch/

gpgcheck=1

Now add mysql public key from command below.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]#  rpm --import http://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql

Install mysql connector python command below.

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]#  yum install mysql-connector-python

Step #08: Now main installation command on CloudStack Management Server

[root@CloudST-CentOS ~]# yum -y install cloudstack-management
