5.4.11. Installation Complete! Next Steps

Congratulations! You have now installed CloudPlatform Management Server and the database it uses
to persist system data.
What should you do next?
• Even without adding any cloud infrastructure, you can run the UI to get a feel for what's offered and
how you will interact with CloudPlatform on an ongoing basis. See Log In to the UI.
• When you're ready, add the cloud infrastructure and try running some virtual machines on it, so you
can watch how CloudPlatform manages the infrastructure. See Provision Your Cloud Infrastructure.
5.5. Setting Configuration Parameters

5.5.1. About Configuration Parameters

CloudPlatform provides a variety of settings you can use to set limits, configure features, and enable
or disable features in the cloud. Once your Management Server is running, you might need to set
some of these configuration parameters, depending on what optional features you are setting up.
You can set default values at the global level, which will be in effect throughout the cloud unless you
override them at a lower level. You can make local settings, which will override the global configuration
parameter values, at the level of an account, zone, cluster, or primary storage.
The documentation for each CloudPlatform feature should direct you to the names of the applicable
parameters. The following table shows a few of the more useful parameters.
