Configure Multiple or Additional vCloud Automation Center Appliances

The system administrator can copy the configuration from the primary instance of the

vCloud Automation Center Appliance to additional instances to ensure that all appliances in the

deployment are configured identically.

Procedure

1 Log in to the secondary vCloud Automation Center Appliance that you just deployed by using SSH.

2 Copy the following files from the primary instance of the vCloud Automation Center Appliance to the

secondary instance.

/etc/vcac/encryption.key

/etc/vcac/security.properties

/etc/vcac/server.xml

/etc/vcac/setenv-core

/etc/vcac/solution-users.properties

/etc/vcac/vcac.keystore

/etc/vcac/vcac.properties

/etc/apache2/server.pem

3 Change the permissions on the files in /etc/vcac directory so that they are owned by the vcac user and

grant read and write permissions to the owner only.

cd /etc/vcac

chown vcac:vcac encryption.key security.properties \

server.xml setenv-core solution-users.properties \

vcac.keystore vcac.properties

chmod 600 encryption.key security.properties \

server.xml setenv-core solution-users.properties \

vcac.keystore vcac.properties

4 Change the permissions on the file that you copied to /etc/apache2 so that they are owned by the root

user and grant read permissions to the owner only.

cd /etc/apache2

chown root server.pem

chgrp root server.pem

chmod 400 server.pem

5 Update the cluster configuration for the vCloud Automation Center Appliance.

a Edit the file /etc/vcac/setenv-core.

b Locate the following line:

VCAC_OPTS=”$VCAC_OPTS -Dcluster.node.instance=cafe.node.1″

c Edit the value so that the node instance identifier is unique, for example, by incrementing the

number.

VCAC_OPTS=”$VCAC_OPTS -Dcluster.node.instance=cafe.node.2″

d Save and close the file.
