On one of your site server , I ’m using my Primary Site server which basically does everything in my lab , I is adding ’m add the role “ Cloud management gateway connection point ”

Administration -> Site Configuration -> Servers and Site System Roles -> Right Click Server -> Add Site System Role

check the box for CMG Connection Point
Choose the CMG you wish to associate with it, odds are good you only have one, the one you just setup.

Go ahead and finish the wizard out and let the site add the role.
