Building Citrix Cloud Platform on CentOS for my Home Lab
Build Citrix Cloud Platform Server on CentOS
NOTE: this document is a first draft – this was a quick setup in a dev environment where the host, management and NFS services were all on the same box. I got it working, hopefully this helps anyone else trying to do the same.
‘#’ = type in and then run this command
‘FILE=’ = Edit this file in the listed location
ERROR: if you get this error try the following listed steps.
SELECT: = option to choose when offered list or running install script
Download CENT OS from CentOS mirror – http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/6/
Do initial GUI config and then
Log into the box and do the following step by step

download cloudstack platform 3.0.6-rhel6.3.tar.gz to the VM from mycitrix.com
mount the centOS DVD back to the VM that you used to install the device (according to citrix literature – this is required though it was never really called)
#mount –t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media
Create local REPO
