Change vFabric Hyperic Server Sizing ProfileIn vFabric Hyperic 4.6.5 and later, you can set the values of vFabric Hyperic Server resourcerelatedproperties by selecting a small, medium, or large sizing profile, based on the number ofplatforms you will manage. The platform thresholds for each profile and server property valuesfor small, medium, and large installation are defined on About Sizing Profiles in vFabric Hyperic.When you perform a new server installation by running the vFabric Hyperic installer with the -full qualifier, the installer prompts you to select a sizing profile, as described in Run vFabricHyperic Installer.You can also select an installation profile after installing the vFabric Hyperic Server, or for avFabric Hyperic Server you have upgraded to 4.6.5, by running the vFabric Hyperic installer withthe -updateScale qualifier.1. Open a command shell on the vFabric Hyperic 4.6.5 Server host.o On Unix-based platforms, enter:PathToInstaller/setup.sh -updateScaleo On Windows platforms, enter:PathToInstaller\setup.bat -updateScaleThe installer will prompt:Please enter the installation profile (small, medium, large)2. Enter the desired profile, for instance:mediumIf you use the embedded PostgreSQL database, rather than an external database(required for production environments), select the "small" sizing profile. The"medium" and "large" profiles are not supported unless you use an external vFabricHyperic database.The installer will prompt:Please enter the current server installation directory98
3. Enter the full path to the server installation directory.The installer will confirm that the profile has been updated, for example:The server is now updated to "medium" profile...4. Restart the vFabric Hyperic Server to make the changes take effect.Configure Unidirectional Agent - Server CommunicationIf your security policies dictate, you can configure the agent to initiate all communications withthe HQ Server. You can configure unidirectional communications at first startup. Unidirectionalcommunications are always via SSL.This section has instructions for changing agent communications from bidirectional tounidirectional and vice versa after the agent has already been configured.Changing from Bidirectional to Unidirectional 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 thestartup settings 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 unidirectional 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=yes, and startthe agent.o If your practice is to configure the agent startup properties interactively, start theagent, and respond "yes" when asked if the agent should be configured forunidirectional communications.4. In the HQ user interface, navigate to the platform's Inventory tab and click Edit in the"Type & Network Properties" section.In the edit view for "Type & Network Properties", the "Agent Connection" drop-down listwill show your currently selected port for bidirectional communications, something like10.2.0.213:2144, where 10.2.0.213 is the IP address of the platform, and 2144 is thebidirectional port number previously used.5. Expand the drop-down list and select the entry that shows the same IP address, and "-1"as the port:6. 10.2.0.213:-1Your agent will now use unidirectional communications.99
