Perhaps you could file a bug report against the installation
documentation if this step is missing or not explained clearly.
I have been leveraging my complete lack of experience to identify gaps
and errors in the docs.
Nothing is quite as frustrating or as damaging to the reputation of the
package as installation procedures that are wrong.
I have over 20 years on Unix and Linux experience so I am pretty patient
with open source documentation.
Cloudstack needs a lot of work in this area to simplify the basic install.
IMHO, Cloudstack should be available as an ISO distribution that in one
step installs a standalone management server running on CentOS.
There is no earthly reason why a sys admin needs to go through the hoops
that are currently required to get started.
Install the ISO, set the IP and it should be ready to run.
Does the base OS for the Cloudstack manager really matter once you are up?
If so, how many ISOs are really required?
Hint:
Single physical eth0 with instructions on how to add additional interfaces.
Local storage with instructions on how to add external storage.
At least, one would be ready to actually use Cloudstack in 10 minutes
instead of xx hours and the installation guide would be a lot smaller
and you could probably start using the GUI after the first 10 minutes.
It would also make it easier to write correct documentation since a lot
of the current errors are in sections that have nothing to do with
Cloudstack.

You need the client on any machine that wants to access a database on another
machine.
You should not have to install the server on each machine.
You may also need a mysql connector.
I am not sure about this but watch out for errors accessing the remote database
in case the app does not include its own connector and automatically configure
it to find the remote database.

Help!
I am setting up cloudstack management on one server with MySQL installed on a
second server, both on CentOS. I have followed the installation material and
setup mysql and edited the my.cnf file as well, but when I go back to the
management server to run the cloudstack-setup-databases script pointing to the
mysql server I get an error at the very end.
Error:
/bin/sh: mysql: command not found
Below is exactly what happens when I run the script on the management server. I
have already set SELinux to permissive and edited the iptables on both servers
ot open the port 3306 as well...
Thanks in advance!
