Info

If the properties file does not already define the property, the property definition is added at theend of the agent.properties file; the encrypted value (not plain text) is shown. For example:agent.setup.camPword=ENC(gaSh3I8gg1olL1EDHHJo/g==)The key that was used to encrypt the value is saved in AgentHome/conf/agent.scu.If you encrypt another property value, the key in AgentHome/conf/agent.scu will be used.Note that after you encrypt agent.setup.camPword (or any property that the agent uses toconnect to the server) the agent must be able to access AgentHome/conf/agent.scu or itwill fail to start up. Do not delete agent.scu.If your agent deployment strategy involves distributed a standard agent.properties file to allagents, you must also distribute agent.scu. For more information, see Install vFabric HypericAgents in Volume.If agent.scu is missing...Iff a vFabric Hyperic Agent's AgentHome/conf/agent.scu file is missing, subsequentattempts to run the agent start script (hq-agent.sh or hq-agent.bat) with the setupoption will fail. To resolve this problem, you must either: Reinstall the agent, orPerform these steps:a. Stop the agent.b. Delete its /data directory.c. Set agent.setup.camPword in AgentHome/conf/agent.propertiesto a plain text value.d. Start the agent.Migrate v4 vFabric Hyperic Server and Database to v5.7About this section...This section has instructions for upgrading the vFabric Hyperic Server and database to 5.0.About the 5.7 UpgradeThis section has instructions for upgrading vFabric Hyperic Server 4.6.0 and later to 5.7 andmigrating the vFabric Hyperic database to vPostgreSQL 9.1.9.Note: If you wish to upgrade a 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4 vFabric Hyperic Server and database to 5.7, youmust first upgrade the vFabric Hyperic Server to 4.6.0 or later. The download location ishttp://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/datacenter_downloads/vmware_vfabric_hyperic/4_680
The database migration supports export from vFabric Hyperic databases running on: PostgreSQL 8.2.5 and 8.3 MySQL 5.0.x and 5.1.x Oracle 10g and 11gThe vFabric Hyperic 5.7 installer contains a migration package for performing the upgrade. Themigration package, hq-migrate-5.0.zip is in InstallerHome/installer/bin. Itcontains a migration script, hq-migrate/bin/hq-migrate.sh (or .bat).By default, the migration utility exports your monitoring configuration (alert definitions, resourcegroups, escalation schemes, and so on) and metric data. If desired, you can run the script withan option that causes only the monitoring configuration data to be exported.PrerequisitesYou run the migration utility on both the vFabric Hyperic 4.6 (or later) host and the vFabric 5.7host. Each system must have:64-bit Java 1.7 JRE6 to 7 GB of free disk spaceThe migration process creates a directory structure on the 4.x host for the exported data,and archives the directory tree. The target host also requires the free disk space, as youwill copy the export archive to that platform and unpack it there.For large deployments, 8GB of RAM.Upgrade Process AlternativesThe migration process consists of exporting data from your existing vFabric Hyperic deploymentand importing it into your 5.7 installation. You can perform the import and export as twoseparate steps as described below in Two-Step Migration Procedure, or in some environments,as a single step, as described in One-Step-Migration.Regardless of whether you perform the migration in one step or two, you can supply commandarguments at the command line, or in a properties file. The Two-Step Migration Procedure andOne-Step-Migration procedures have instructions for supplying arguments at the command line.For information about defining the arguments in a properties file, see Specify Migration Optionsin a Properties File.Before performing the migration procedure, review Migration Defaults and Options below, whichdescribes migration behavior, required and optional command options, and default settings.Account Permission RequirementsThe user account under which the import process runs should be the same as the one used toinstall and run the target vFabric Hyperic 5.7 Server to avoid startup errors resulting from filepermission issues.The database user account that the import process runs under must have superuserpermissions.81
