Thanks to David Nalley for forwarding teh runbook. It is basically the thing I was looking for.
I followed the runbook, but for me it is still failing at the adding host step. Is there any reason why some of the useful document like the 3.03 Citrix CloudPlatform Trial Installation is not updated and included in the 4.0.1 incubator documents? I found http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/31040-102-693001/CloudPlatform3.0.3_3.0.6TrialInstallGuide.pdfand it also has a pretty handy simple Troubleshooting instruction. grep -i -E 'exception|unable|fail|invalid|leak|warn' /var/log/cloud/management/management-server.log 2013-02-25 17:46:29,928 DEBUG [cloud.api.ApiServlet] (TP-Processor15:null) Invalid paramemter in URL found. param: hosttags= 2013-02-25 17:46:35,010 WARN [agent.manager.AgentManagerImpl] (AgentManager-Handler-2:null) Throwing away a request because it came through as the first command on a connect: Seq -1--1: { Cmd , MgmtId: -1, via: -1, Ver: v1, Flags: 111, [{"ShutdownCommand":{"reason":"sig.kill","wait":0}}] } 2013-02-25 17:52:07,092 DEBUG [kvm.discoverer.KvmServerDiscoverer] (TP-Processor15:null) Timeout, to wait for the host connecting to mgt svr, assuming it is failed 2013-02-25 17:52:07,096 WARN [cloud.resource.ResourceManagerImpl] (TP-Processor15:null) Unable to find the server resources at http://192.168.11.101 2013-02-25 17:52:07,099 WARN [api.commands.AddHostCmd] (TP-Processor15:null) Exception: com.cloud.exception.DiscoveryException: Unable to add the host 2013-02-25 17:52:07,102 WARN [cloud.api.ApiDispatcher] (TP-Processor15:null) class com.cloud.api.ServerApiException : Unable to add the host root@ddi1:/var/log/cloud/management# Thanks in advance for your help.
