5.1. Additionally, the RPMs in vfabric-all-repo might be used by customers who have not bought a vFabric 5.1
Suite Standard or Advanced license.
In addition, each of the preceding repositories has separate URLs for RHEL 5 and RHEL 6.
If you are using only RPMs certified for vFabric 5.1 Suite Advanced or Standard, then you install only vfabric-5.1-
repo-5.1. If, however, you are upgrading a vFabric component to a version that has not yet been officially certified for
vFabric 5.1, then install both repositories.
1. On the RHEL computer, start a terminal either as the root user or as an unprivileged user using sudo.
2. Install the vfabric-5.1-repo-5.1, and optionally vfabric-all-repo, RPMs using the rpm command. The
URLs of the RPMs differ depending on the version of RHEL you are using.
For RHEL 5:
prompt# rpm -Uvh http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel5/vfabric/5.1/vfabric-5.1-repo-5.1-1.noarch.rpm
prompt# rpm -Uvh http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel5/vfabric-all/vfabric-all-repo-1-1.noarch.rpm
For RHEL 6:
prompt# rpm -Uvh http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel6/vfabric/5.1/vfabric-5.1-repo-5.1-1.noarch.rpm
prompt# rpm -Uvh http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel6/vfabric-all/vfabric-all-repo-1-1.noarch.rpm
If necessary, use sudo to run the preceding commands if you are not logged in as the root user.
You do this step only once. You install the vFabric repository RPMs on each RHEL computer on which you want to
install one or more vFabric components, such as vFabric Web Server.
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-tc-server-standard.noarch : VMware vFabric tc Server Standard
vfabric-web-server.x86_64 : VMware vFabric Web Server
...
The vFabric Web Server RPM is called vfabric-web-server.
Procedure
1. From the RHEL computer on which you will install vFabric Web Server, log in as the root user.
2. Execute the following yum command:
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 vFabric Web Server on the computer, the yum command also installs the vfabric-
eula RPM and prompts you to accept the VMware license agreement.
The yum command automatically chooses the appropriate RPM package based on your architecture (32- or 64-bit).
To install the developer's package:
prompt# yum install vfabric-web-server-devel
