Assigning to Brian for review. Step 5: No Enter was needed - the menu reappeared by itself Step 8 and Step 9 should be swapped Step 10: Was not needed Received errors between Steps 11 and 12 regarding postgreSQL Received errors after Step 13 Re-assigning to Suyog to follow up on the feedback from comment #5. Suyog - let me know if you have any questions. Is the sentence " After creating a region, upload a valid license file to the VMDB." necessary? Step 5: No Enter was needed - the menu reappeared by itself Step 7: For 5.4.0.2: "There is no database configured yet, please choose Configure Database instead". Steps 7 through 10 should be redone to reflect this In current spin: I had some initial confusion between Configure Database for the first time,for subsequent times, whether or not the encryption key has been created, and whether or not the database disk needs to be partitioned. We may want to add verbiage to differentiate between the different cases (and point to appropriate documentation). I agree with Tom. The instructions are technically correct, but not useful without some context. These directions are how to create a region on a CFME Appliance that already has a database. Not really what you want to do usually, but if you want to do this...and there may be situations where you do, then this is how you would do it. In most cases, the region is created when you are creating your CFME Environment - essentially on first appliance for the region. The first Region's Appliance will need security key created and region number - this will all be prompted for when you select Configure Database. The next Region in the environment will need to FETCH the key from the first regional database appliance. Again, prompted for once you select Configure Database. This is probably covered in the installation guides. Might be a good idea to point to those and qualify what this set of instructions is for. This content is now live on the Customer Portal.
