Set up and Start the
EAM Sample Solution
The EAM Sample
Solution is a Web-based application. The solution demonstrates how to use OVF
and vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB) files to deploy ESX agent virtual
machines to
servers
that a
instance manages. The EAM Sample Solution also optionally installs the VIB
files and integrates them with DvFilter.
- Verify that you have a running 6.5 instance.
- Verify that you have a running Web application server.
- Copy theeam-sample.warfile from theESX Agent Manager SDKfolder to a work directory.
- Unzip theeam-sample.warfile.
- Open thefile in a text editor.<work_directory>\eam-sample\WEB-INF\eamri.properties
- Provide the IP address of the machine where you run the solution, and the user name and password for your system in theeamri.propertiesfile.# IP of your machine. self.ip=<solution_IP_address># URL prefix. If running on any other port than standard Tomcat port change 8080 to # the used port. self.url.prefix=http://*:<port_number>/eam-sample # vCenter Server settings. vc.host=<vCenter_Server_IP_address>vc.http.proxy.port = 80 vc.https.proxy.port = 443 vc.user =<username>vc.password =<password>If you run the Web application server on the same machine as , change the default port value of theself.url.prefixproperty from8080to18080to avoid a port clash between the instance and the Web application server.
- Leave thevib.deployproperty value set tofalse.
- Save and close the file.
- If you change the default port in theeamri.propertiesfile, you must replicate this change in the Web application server configuration filecatalina.properties.bio.http.port=<port_number>
- Copy theeam-sampledirectory from your work directory to the deployment location of your Web application server to deploy the EAM Sample solution.
- In a Web browser, go tohttp://to check that the EAM Sample Solution is running.<My_Web_App_Server_IP_address>:<port_number>/eam-sample/Make sure that you use the correct port number in the URL in case you changed the default value.You see the textThe EAM Sample Solution is up and running.
