30 Installing vFabric Suite
• Launches the VMware End User License Agreement (EULA) acceptance and repository configuration 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):
prompt# yum search vfabric
...
======================================== Matched: vfabric ========================================
vfabric-rabbitmq-java-client-bin.noarch : The RabbitMQ Java Client Library
vfabric-rabbitmq-server.x86_64 : The RabbitMQ server
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 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.
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 a tc Runtime instance, start it, and deploy a Web application to the instance.
See the vFabric component-specific documentation for details.
• If your vFabric license includes open-source software (OSS) support, optionally configure the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) VM on which you have installed one or more OSS components to track their usage. OSS components you can track
include Apache Tomcat, Apache HTTP Server, and RabbitMQ. See RHEL: Optionally Configure VM to Track Open-Source
Software Component Usage.
