Installing vFabric License Server and
Activating Your License
The vFabric License Server uses vFabric tc Server internally. If necessary, the installation of the vFabric License Server on
RHEL will automatically install vFabric tc Server.
Prerequisites
• Be sure the RHEL computer on which you are going to install vFabric License Server has a JDK or JRE (Version 6 only)
installed.
Set the following environment variables for the user who is going to install vFabric License Server (either root or a user with
sudo privileges):
• JAVA_HOME: Points to the JDK or JRE installation.
• PATH: Points to JAVA_HOME/bin.
• Install the vFabric repository RPM from which you will install the standalone vFabric License Server. In addition to the
License Server, the vFabric repository contains all product RPMs that are certified with this release of vFabric Suite.
1. On the RHEL computer (either physical or an Amazon EC2 instance), start a terminal either as the root user or as an
unprivileged user using sudo.
2. Install the vFabric repository RPM using the following wget command, passing it the RHEL 6 URL.
Important: You must run the entire wget command on a single line. Be sure you include the | sh at the end, or the
RPM installation will not work.
prompt# wget -q -O - http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel6/vfabric/5.3/vfabric-5.3-suite-installer | sh
If necessary, use sudo to run the preceding commands if you are not logged in as the root user.
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 configuration script.
• Outputs the EULA for you to read; you must answer yes to accept the terms and continue.
Procedure
1. Log on as the root user (or unprivileged user with sudo privileges) to the RHEL computer (either physical or Amazon
EC2 instance) on which you are going to install vFabric License Server, and start a terminal.
2. Execute the following yum command:
prompt# yum install vfabric-license-server
The yum command begins the install process, resolves dependencies, and displays the packages it will install.
If necessary, use sudo to run the preceding command if you are not logged in as the root user. For example:
prompt$ sudo yum install vfabric-license-server
Enter y at the prompt to begin the actual installation.
If the installation is successful, you see a Complete! message at the end.
3. Run the following script to initialize the vFabric License Server:
