Changing from Unidirectional to Bidirectional Communications1. Stop the agent.2. Remove the agent's data directory.Removing the data directory will cause the agent, at next startup, to look for the startupsettings it needs to connect to the HQ Server in its agent.properties file; if theproperties file doesn't contain them, it will prompt for settings in the shell.3. Configure the agent for bidirectional communications using one of these methods:o If your practice is to provide all agent startup properties in the properties file, editagent.properties to set agent.setup.unidirectional=no, and startthe agent.o If your practice to configure the agent startup properties interactively, start theagent, and when prompted for communications direction, respond "no" whenasked if the agent should be configured to run in uni-directional mode.4. In the HQ user interface, navigate to the platform's Inventory tab and click Edit in the"Type & Network Properties" selection.5. Select the appropriate agent in the "Agent Connection" drop down.In the edit view for "Type & Network Properties", the "Agent Connection" drop-down listwill show your currently selected port for unidirectional communications, something like10.2.0.213:-1, where 10.2.0.213 is the IP address of the platform, and -1 is the portnumber.6. Expand the drop-down list and select the entry that shows the same IP address, and"2144" as the port (or the port you are configured to use, if not the default), for example,10.2.0.213:2144Your agent will now use bidirectional communications.Install or Configure vFabric Hyperic LicenseLicense Types in vFabric HypericIn addition to being available as a standalone product, vFabric Hyperic is part of severalVMware product sets — VMware vFabric Suite, VMware vCenter Operations ManagementSuite, and vClould Suite — each with its own licensing mechanism.If you obtained vFabric Hyperic standalone, or as part of vFabric Suite, you configure vFabriclicensing.If you obtained vFabric Hyperic as part of vCenter Operations Management Suite, you configurevCenter Operations Management Suite licensing.If you obtained vFabric Hyperic as part of vCloud Suite, you configure vCloud licensing.Note that if you have more than one license, you configure each of them, as described in thesections that follow.100
License ConsumptionvFabric Hyperic is licensed on a per managed platform basis, where a platform is:A physical machine or a VM with a vFabric Hyperic Agent running on it.o If an agent manages a vSphere vCenter instance, it consumes a license for theplatform that hosts vCenter, a license for each vSphere vHost administered bythe vCenter instance, and — if an agent is installed in each VM — a license foreach vSphere VM on each vHost.A network device or network host managed remotely by a vFabric Hyperic Agent.(Network Device in vFabric Hyperic Resource Configuration and Metrics describesvFabric Hyperic functionality for managing remote devices and hosts.)If you have licenses for both vFabric Suite and vCenter Operations Management Suite, you arelicensed for the total number of managed platforms allowed by the vFabric license plus thenumber of platforms allowed by the vCenter Operations Management Suite license.Configure vFabric LicenseIf you obtain vFabric Hyperic as part of vFabric Suite (previously known as "vFabricPlatform") refer first to the licensing information and procedure in Getting Started withvFabric Suite. If necessary, complete additional licensing tasks in this document.vFabric Hyperic evaluation distributions include a time-limited license for 60 platforms.After you purchase vFabric Hyperic, a production license specifies the number of platforms youmay manage, and unless you have a perpetual license, the license expiration date.To activate your license:If you acquired vFabric Hyperic standalone:a. Create a file named vf.hyp-serial-numbers.txt that contains the productserial number provided by VMware.b. Install the serial number file in:o /etc/opt/vmware/vfabric/ on Unix-like platformso %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\vmware\vfabric on Windows platforms. If you obtained vFabric Hyperic as a part of vFabric Suite:o configure the location of the VMware License Server that administers the networklicense for vFabric Suite, by adding the vfabric.licenseServer.url property toServerHome/conf/hq-server.conf.After performing the appropriate step above, restart the vFabric Hyperic Server.101
