Restore Changes to Logging
The upgrade process overwrites changes you make to logging in the configuration files. After you finish
an upgrade, you must restore any changes you made to the app.config file before the upgrade.
Ensure Deployed Virtual Machines Register With Software Service
Run the following commands to ensure that deployed virtual machines register with software services.
Prerequisites
You must have administrator privileges on the virtual appliance host machine.
Procedure
u
Open a new command prompt on the virtual appliance host machine and run the following
commands.
openssl pkcs12 -export -name rabbitmq_ca -in /etc/rabbitmq/certs/ca/cacert.pem -
inkey /etc/rabbitmq/certs/ca/private/cakey.pem -out /tmp/rabbitmq_keystore.p12 -
