Cloud Foundation Cluster Verification
After installing Cloud Foundation, perform the steps in the following sections to verify that the components are installed and available.
SDDC Manager
Log in to SDDC Manager using a web browser at: https://<ip address or DNS name>. The SSO user ID is
administrator@vsphere.local and the password is the one you specified during installation.
NOTE: Use the domain vsphere.local. Do not use the DNS domain that was used for the Cloud Foundation
deployment.
Customer Experience Improvement Program
Join Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) when prompted. CEIP provides statistical data to SDDC Manager, allowing for
improved performance and troubleshooting.
The following figure shows a sample SDDC Manager dashboard. In this example, the host usage is yellow because the management cluster
has consumed all of the hosts currently available to Cloud Foundation.

vCenter
Log in to vCenter using the same SSO credentials—administrator@vsphere.local. Verify that the cluster appears healthy and
that there are no warnings.
Validate that the VMs created during deployment are all up and running. Validate that your VSAN is running and available. Look at the disk
groups that are created and ensure they are consistent with the disks available in the hosts. Look at the virtual networking components
that are deployed to vCenter.
