3. Use the yum search vfabric command to view the list of vFabric components that you can install from the
VMware repository. For example (with sample output):
prompt# yum search vfabric
...
======================================== Matched: vfabric =========================================
vfabric-eula.noarch : VMware vFabric 5.1 End User License Agreement
vfabric-gemfire.noarch : VMware vFabric GemFire
vfabric-hyperic-agent.noarch : VMware vFabric Hyperic Agent
vfabric-hyperic-server.x86_64 : VMware vFabric Hyperic Server

vfabric-insight-dashboard.noarch : com.springsource.insight.dist.vfabric:dashboard-rpm
vfabric-rabbitmq-java-client-bin.noarch : The RabbitMQ Java Client Library
vfabric-rabbitmq-server.x86_64 : The RabbitMQ server
vfabric-sqlfire.noarch : VMware vFabric SQLFire
vfabric-tc-server-standard.noarch : VMware vFabric tc Server Standard
vfabric-web-server.x86_64 : VMware vFabric Web Server
Procedure
1. Log in as the root user to the RHEL VM on which you are going to install the vFabric component and start a terminal.
2. Execute the appropriate yum install component command to install the vFabric component, where component is
name of the RPM package for the component.
For the exact name of each RPM, search the output of yum search vfabric as described in the Prerequisites section.
For example, to install vFabric tc Server:
prompt# yum install vfabric-tc-server-standard
To install the Spring Insight agent and dashboard templates:
prompt# yum install vfabric-insight-agent vfabric-insight-dashboard
To install vFabric Web Server:
prompt# yum install vfabric-web-server
The yum command begins the install process, resolves dependencies, and displays the packages it plans to install.
If this is the first time that you install a vFabric component on the VM, the yum command also installs the vfabric-eula
RPM and prompts you to accept the VMware license agreement.
The yum command automatically choses the appropriate RPM package based on your architecture (32- or 64-bit).
3. Enter y at the prompt to begin the actual installation. Depending on the component, you may be asked additional questions;
answer as appropriate. If you need more detailed information, see the component documentation.
If the installation is successful, you will see a Complete! message at the end.
What to do next
• Each component RPM installs itself in a slightly different location on your RHEL computer, and the installation is owned by
different users. For example, vFabric tc Server is installed in the /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard
directory, and the files are owned by root:vfabric.
See the vFabric component-specific documentation for details.
• The component-specific next steps depend on the component you installed. For example, if you installed vFabric tc Server,
you might enable EM4J in the VM, create an instance, start it, and deploy a Web application to the instance.
