UCS Director Multi-Node Deployment on VMware

The purpose of this document is to illustrate the steps to install UCS Director 5.2 in a Multi-Node deployment.  Instead of a single standalone UCS Director Appliance, we will build a Primary Node, Inventory Database Node, Monitoring Database Node and one or more Service Nodes.

Besides the basic Multi-Node installation, this document also provides steps for configuring other, optional but recommended, management options such as License Installation, Mail Setup, Self Service Policy, NTP, enable root access, change root password, change shelladmin password, change hostname, update hosts file, and changing the time zone.   This document should take you to the point where you are ready to start configuring workflows.
