36 Installing vFabric Platform
3. Optionally specify that the vfabric-sqlfire process should automatically start when the operating system starts by
running the following command:
prompt# chkconfig --level 35 vfabric-sqlfire on
4. Optionally specify the configuration of the vfabric-sqlfire process by editing the file /etc/sysconfig/
sqlfire, which is the file sourced by the script that you will later use to start the SQLFire process (/etc/init.d/
vfabric-sqlfire.)
The /etc/sysconfig/sqlfire file includes many comments to help you decide if you need to modify it. The
following bullets provide additional pointers:
• If you do not modify the /etc/sysconfig/sqlfire file but simply use the one installed by default, then the
vfabric-sqlfire process starts up a server instance in a multicast configuration.
• If you want the vfabric-sqlfire process to start up using a locator-based configuration, change the LOCATOR
property in the /etc/sysconfig/sqlfire file to local, as shown:
LOCATOR=local
This configuration allows a local locator process to start along with a local server instance. To add additional remote
locators, add their IP address and port to the LOCATOR_IP_STRING as shown in the configuration file as a commented-
out example.
• If you want to start up only a local locator process and not a local server instance, set the LOCATOR property to
locator_only. This sets up a redundant locator configuration; be sure you add the locator IP addresses and port
numbers to the LOCATOR_IP_STRING; an example is shown in the configuration file.
• Finally, set the LOCATOR property to remote if you want to start a local server instance that relies on having locator
processes running on one or more remote hosts. Specify these remote hosts using the LOCATOR_IP_STRING property.
5. Start the processes associated with SQLFire by running the following command:
prompt# /etc/init.d/vfabric-sqlfire start
By default, the process uses an evaluation license; if you have purchased a production license, see the SQLFire
User's Guide for information about configuring it in the /opt/vfabric/sqlfire/vFabric_SQLFire_10/
sqlfire.properties file. The RPM installation process creates a skeleton sqlfire.properties file to get you
started.
To stop, restart, and get status about the processes, pass the stop, restart, and status parameters, respectively, to the
/etc/init.d/vfabric-sqlfire script:
prompt# /etc/init.d/vfabric-sqlfire status
The SQLFire documentation includes tutorials and sample applications for you to get started with the component. For details,

Post-Installation Instructions for RabbitMQ
You must first start the RabbitMQ server to use it. The default configuration for the server is usually adequate to start it.
Procedure
1. If you have not already done so, install a JDK or JRE (version 1.6) onto the RHEL VM on which you installed RabbitMQ.
2. Log in to the RHEL VM as the root user and open a terminal window.
3. Create a link between /usr/java/default and the directory in which you installed the JDK. For example:
