Install SQLFire as a Component of vFabric Suite Advanced
If you purchased vFabric Suite Advanced, VMware recommends that you install vFabric SQLFire by rst
installing the VMware RPM repository and then using yum to perform the actual installation. Follow this
procedure:
1.
On the RHEL computer, start a terminal either as the root user or as an unprivileged user who has sudo
privileges.
Note: If you are not logged in as the root user, you must use the sudo command to run the commands
in the following steps.
2.
Install the vFabric repository RPM using the following wget command, passing it the appropriate URL.
The URL differs depending on the version of RHEL you are using.
Note: You must run the entire wget command on a single line. Be sure you include | sh at the end,
or the RPM installation will not work.
For RHEL 5:
wget -q -O -
http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel5/vfabric/5.3/vfabric-5.3-suite-installer
| sh
For RHEL 6:
wget -q -O -
http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel6/vfabric/5.3/vfabric-5.3-suite-installer
| sh
The command performs the following tasks:
Imports the vFabric GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) key.
Installs the vFabric 5.3 repository RPM.
Launches the VMware End User License Agreement (EULA) acceptance and repository conguration
script.
Outputs the EULA for you to read; you must answer yes to accept the terms and continue.
3.
Use the yum search vfabric or yum search vmware command to view the list of vFabric
components that you can install from the VMware repository. For example (output truncated for clarity):
yum search vfabric
