The agent is what runs on KVM hosts to carry out requests from the management server(s). The management server is the cloud-management service which oversees all the stuff CloudStack does.

Marcus = What is the difference between the Agent and the Management Server? I followed the instructions here: http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.0-incubating/html/Installation_Guide/management-server-install-flow.html In NAT mode, I usually get 10.0.2.15 as my IP address (no access from my Mac). In bridged mode, as expected, I get an IP address on my company's LAN. I do have the source code in my Mac OX X environment, so maybe that is the route I will have to take. As an oddity on top of this all, if I run Tomcat 6 manually using the tomcat6 script in /etc/init.d/, Tomcat works. I can hit http://localhost:8080, but it doesn't know about http://localhost:8080/client/ On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 11:59 AM, Marcus Sorensen <[email protected]>wrote: > Mike, are you just trying to run the management server, not the agent, in a > VM?
