2.4.2. Prepare the Operating System
The OS must be prepared to host the Management Server using the following steps. These steps must be performed on each Management Server node.
Log in to your OS as root.
Check for a fully qualified hostname.
hostname
--fqdn
This should return a fully qualified hostname such as "managament1.lab.example.org". If it does not, edit /etc/hosts so that it does.
Make sure that the machine can reach the Internet.
ping
www.google.com
Turn on NTP for time synchronization.
Note
NTP is required to synchronize the clocks of the servers in your cloud.
Install NTP.
On RHEL or CentOS:
yum
install
ntp
On Ubuntu:
apt-get
install
openntpd
Repeat all of these steps on every host where the Management Server will be installed.
