Configuring a Sun xVM Ops Center Proxy

To Register a Sun xVM Ops Center Proxy With a Server

1. Create a temporary directory, for example, /var/tmp/xVM, to hold the password file that you will create in this procedure.

   # mkdir -p /var/tmp/xVM
   

2. Create an empty file named /var/tmp/xVM/mypasswd, and set its permission mode to 400.

   # touch /var/tmp/xVM/mypasswd
   # chmod 400 /var/tmp/xVM/mypasswd
   

3. Edit the /var/tmp/xVM/mypasswd file so that it contains the password for the Sun Online Account used to register the Sun xVM Ops Center server. The following echo command appends the password to the /var/tmp/xVM/mypasswd file. (Replace SOA_Password with the correct SOA password.) For example:

   # echo 'SOA_Password' > /var/tmp/xVM/mypasswd
   

4. Use the /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/proxyadm command to associate the Sun xVM Ops Center proxy with the Sun xVM Ops Center server. The example below uses the following options:

   -s – Specify the hostname of the satellite with which to register the proxy.
   -u – Specify the Sun Online Account (SOA) username used for the registration.
   -p – Specify the absolute pathname of the file that contains the password for the SOA user.

   For example:

   # /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/proxyadm configure -s mumbai -u jfcdoc4@sun.com -p /var/tmp/xVM/mypasswd

   For more information about the proxyadm command, see the proxyadm man page.

5. Use the /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/proxyadm command to start the Sun xVM Ops Center proxy services on the system.

   # /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/proxyadm start -w
   proxyadm: Starting proxy with SMF...
   proxyadm: Proxy services have started
   #
   

6. To verify the connection that has been established for this Sun xVM Ops Center proxy configuration, run the sc-console list-connections command. For example:

   # sc-console list-connections
   scn-proxy https://mumbai:443 urn:scn:clregid:338d63d6-26f8-4abe-a90b-84c464fd92c4:20080417040755821
