7 If you plan to import users or groups from an LDAP service, the LDAP server host must be accessible to
each Cloud Director server host.
8 Firewall ports must be opened as shown on Table 1-8 and Table 1-9. It is especially important that port
443 be open between Cloud Director and vCenter servers.

Install Cloud Director Software on the First Server Host
The Cloud Director installer verifies that the target host meets all prerequisites and installs Cloud Director
software on the host.
VMware Cloud Director software is distributed as a Linux executable file named vmware-cloud-
director-1.0.0-nnnnnn.bin, where nnnnnn represents the build number of this version. Running this file
requires superuser (root) privileges. After the software is installed on the target host, you can run a
configuration script that lets you specify network and database connection details for the cluster.
Prerequisites
Target hosts and the network that connects them must meet the requirements specified in “Cloud Director
Hardware and Software Requirements,” on page 10. If you intend to create a Cloud Director cluster that
includes multiple hosts, each host must mount the shared transfer service storage at
$VCLOUD_HOME/data/transfer.
Procedure
1 Log in to the target host as root.
2 Download the installation file to the target host.
If you purchased the software on a CD or other media, copy the installation file to a location that is
accessible to all target hosts.
3 Ensure that the installation file is executable.
The installation file requires execute permission. To be sure that it has this permission, open a console,
shell, or terminal window and run the following command:
chmod u+x
installation-file
where installation-file is the full pathname to the VMware Cloud Director installation file.
4 In a console, shell, or terminal window, run the installation file.
To run the installation file, you must type its full pathname (for example ./installation_file). The installation
file includes an installation script and an embedded RPM package.
The installer verifies that the host meets all requirements, unpacks the VMware Cloud Director RPM
package, and installs the software.
