Director Registration Requirements

To register the appliance with Director, the SSH-Console service must be enabled. Director
registration will fail if the ssh-console has been disabled or deleted, or if the SSHv2 host
key has been removed.

Director registration from the Management Console, as described in the following

To register the appliance with a Director:

Select

In the

If your appliance does not have an appliance certificate, enter the Director shared
secret in the
