Deploy ESX Agents and a
VIB Using the EAM Sample Solution
The EAM Sample
Solution optionally deploys an ESX agent virtual machine and a vSphere
installation bundle (VIB). The ESX agent adds a virtual switch to the
host, and
then integrates the ESX agent virtual machine and the vSphere Installation
Bundle (VIB) with DvFilter.
- Verify that you uninstalled the simple EAM Sample Solution that you deployed in Deploy ESX Agents from OVF Using the EAM Sample Solution.
- Verify that you have configured the virtual infrastructure on which to deploy ESX agents.If you have not configured the ESX agent network and datastore settings on the host, ESX Agent Manager sets the status to red and ESX agents do not deploy. See Configure the Virtual Infrastructure for ESX Agent Deployment.
- Open the<Web_app_server_deployment_directory>/eam-sample/WEB_INF/eamri.propertiesfile in a text editor.
- Change the value of thevib.deployproperty fromfalsetotrue, save and close the file.
- Restart the EAM Sample application on the Web application server.
- ClickHomein the navigation bar of the , and then clickAdministration.
- ClickvCenter Server Extensions.
- ClickEAM Sample Solutionin the list of running solutions and click the link in theSolutionsportlet.The EAM Sample Solution configuration page loads in a separate browser window.
- In theCompute resourcespanel, select the host name of the ESXi host or cluster on which to deploy ESX agents and clickUpdate Configuration.TheRecent Tasksview shows the progress of the EAM Sample Solution.
- From the Home, click and select the host that contains the DvFilter virtual switch.
- Click theNetworkstab to see the DvFilter virtual network switch.
You used the EAM Sample
Solution to deploy an ESX agent from a VIB, which adds a DvFilter virtual
switch to the
host.
Implement the features that
the EAM Sample Solution demonstrates, and features that the sample does not
demonstrate. You can experiment with solution development by modifying the EAM
Sample Solution, rebuilding, and redeploying it.
