Save your /etc/fstab then run the following command: mount –a 5. Change the permissions of the transfer folder: chown -R vcloud:vcloud /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer chmod -R 750 /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer 6.

Copy your response.properties file from your first vCloud Director server found on /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc. I have copied mine to the /tmp on the second vCloud Director Server, then chown vcloud:vcloud /tmp/response.properties 10. Continue the installation /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/configure –r /tmp/responses.properties 11. on first cell, we need to copy sysprep files to each of our vCloud Cells so do this for every cell scp /opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization/vcloud_sysprep.properties /opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization/windows_deployment_package_sysprep.cab root@next_cell_IP:/opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization 12. reboot
