6 Quick Start Guide
The license keys are displayed in the main vCenter Licensing window under the name VMware vFabric
Standard|Advanced, depending on the vFabric Platform package you purchased.
6. Install the vfabric-5-repo RPM on the RHEL VM.
a. Log in to the RHEL VM as the root user and start a terminal.
b. Run the rpm command to install the vfabric-5-repo from the VMware repository:
prompt# rpm -Uvh http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel5/vfabric/5/vfabric-5-repo-5-2.noarch.rpm
You install the vfabric-5-repo RPM on each RHEL VM on which you want to install one or more vFabric
components.
7. Install vFabric tc Server and vFabric Web Server on the RHEL VM.
a. Log in to the VM as the root user and start a terminal.
b. Execute the following yum install command to install vFabric tc Server:
prompt# yum install vfabric-tc-server-standard
The yum command displays information about the contents of the installation.
c. Enter y at the prompt to begin the installation.
If the installation is successful, you will see a Complete! message at the end.
When the installation is complete:
• vFabric tc Server is installed in the /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard directory.
• The installation is owned by the root user, but you manage the tc Server installation as tc-server, which is a
non-interactive user created by the RPM install.
d. Execute the following yum install command to install vFabric Web Server:
prompt# yum install vfabric-web-server
When the installation is complete:
• vFabric Web Server is installed in the /opt/vmware/vfabric-web-server directory
• The installation is owned by the root user.
What to do next
• Install a JDK or JVM on the RHEL VM on which you installed vFabric tc Server.
Update the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables of the tc-server user.
For example, to set the environment variables in a Linux profile after installing the JDK in /opt/java/jdk1.6.0_24:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jdk1.6.0_24
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
• Optionally enable EM4J in the VM on which you installed vFabric tc Server and create a tc Runtime instance that uses the
elastic-memory template.
