Hi,
I have been looking around for some documentation on how to install a standalone Hyperic server 5.8.4 on RHEL 6 using yum. We have installed Hyperic using the installer, hyperic-hqee-installer-x86-64-linux-5.8.4.tar.gz, but I would like to find out if there is a repository that we can include in the yum configuration so that we can use "yum update" to keep us current.
I have downloaded the both the server and agent rpm files and I could install the rpm but that wont allow yum to install updates to Hyperic unless I am missing something. Has anybody come across any documentation on using yum to install Hyperic.
I noticed that even though I selected the vRealize Hyperic server download I got the vcenter download. We do have vcenter but we are not currently looking at running Hyperic as a vApp in vcenter.
vcenter-hyperic-server-5.8.4.EE-1.x86_64.rpm
vRealize-hyperic-agent-5.8.4.2.EE-1.noarch.rpm
Any help / information would be greatly appciated.
Thanks,
Dirk
Thanks for the links. I had found those too but they are old and of no value. It has version 4.6 of hyperic and version 2.6 of vfabric-tc-server-standard which is no longer supported. And just to add to this, there has been some product name changes that is not reflected in here.
Installing:
vfabric-hyperic-server x86_64 4.6.6.1.EE-1 vfabric-5 416 M
Not sure what this link is supposed to provide. It has the following statement.
"On the platform on which the vCenter Hyperic server is being installed, run yum install vfabric-hyperic-server"
This has no value unless you have a repository defined that contains the package.
Using the "yum repolist" command you get a list of repositories that contain packages. When new versions become available I can use "yum update" and the new version will be installed. The repository contains the rpm's.
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
repo id repo name status
rhel-6-server-rpms Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server (RPMs) 16,085
What I am looking for is the REPOSITORY where VMware has added the latest version of hyperic to.
