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.
  1. Copy the
    eam-sample.war
     file from the
    ESX Agent Manager SDK
     folder to a work directory.
  2. Unzip the
    eam-sample.war
     file.
  3. Open the
    <work_directory>
    \eam-sample\WEB-INF\eamri.properties
     file in a text editor.
  4. Provide the IP address of the machine where you run the solution, and the user name and password for your
    system in the
    eamri.properties
     file. 
    # 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 the
    self.url.prefix
     property from
    8080
     to
    18080
     to avoid a port clash between the
    instance and the Web application server.
  5. Leave the
    vib.deploy
     property value set to
    false
    .
  6. Save and close the file.
  7. If you change the default port in the
    eamri.properties
     file, you must replicate this change in the Web application server configuration file
    catalina.properties
    .
    bio.http.port=
    <port_number>
  8. Copy the
    eam-sample
     directory from your work directory to the deployment location of your Web application server to deploy the EAM Sample solution.
  9. In a Web browser, go to
    http://
    <My_Web_App_Server_IP_address>
    :
    <port_number>
    /eam-sample/
     to check that the EAM Sample Solution is running.
    Make sure that you use the correct port number in the URL in case you changed the default value.
    You see the text
    The EAM Sample Solution is up and running
    .
You have set up and started the EAM Sample Solution.
