'''Based on various experiments, it looks like management machine should be in same subnet - VLAN - network as KVM hosts.'''

To setup Cloudstack 4.15 management server use following steps:
# Initialize server using [[CentOS 8.x Cloudstack 4.15 Initialize infrastructure server]]
# Configure cloudstack repository by creating '<tt>/etc/yum.repos.d/cloudstack.repo</tt>'
#:<pre>
#:: 	[cloudstack]
#::	name=cloudstack
#::	baseurl=http://download.cloudstack.org/centos/$releasever/4.15/
#::	enabled=1
#::	gpgcheck=0
#:</pre>
# Install cloudstack-management package:
#:<pre>
#:: dnf -y install cloudstack-management
#:</pre>
# Initialize cloudstack DB using:
#:<pre>
#::       cloudstack-setup-databases cloud:<clouduser-db-password>@<database-ip>:3306 --deploy-as=root:<rootuser-db-password> -i <management-server-ip>       
#:</pre>
#:: '''Although documentation suggests we can use the above command without --deploy-as for additional management server.  That does not works.'''  Doing so has led to unusable system every time.  See http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.15.0.0/installguide/management-server/index.html#additional-management-servers for the suggestion on additional management servers which does not works.
#:: Most likely additional management servers require use of external load balancer and initial  DB setup must be done with -i <load-balancer-ip>
# Persistently mount secondary storage (eg /mnt/secondary) on cloudstack management server using /etc/fstab.  Refer [[CentOS 8.x Cloudstack 4.15 Setup NFS server]]
# Initialize Management Server using:
#:<pre>
#:: cloudstack-setup-management 
#:</pre>
# Prepare the System VM Template for cloudstack 4.15 using:
#:<pre>
#::       /usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt -m /mnt/secondary -u http://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.15/systemvmtemplate-4.15.0-kvm.qcow2.bz2 -h kvm -F
#:</pre>
#::Here -m /mnt/secondary points to location of secondary storage mounted in previous steps
#:: Note that if version of cloudstack changes from 4.15 then above systemvm template URLs might also change. 
# Check Management server status using:
#:<pre>
#::       systemctl daemon-reload
#::       systemctl status cloudstack-management.service       
#:</pre>
# Setup at least one KVM host as described at [[CentOS 8.x Cloudstack 4.15 Setup KVM host]]
# Access cloudstack management at port 8080 at URL /client such as http://<cloudstack-management-ip>:8080/client/
#: Default username is admin and Default password is password
