Configuring a connection to the RHEVH server

To configure a connection to the RHEVH server, you must run the script and respond to prompts.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the user, who connects to the RHEVM, is a root user. You can use an existing user ID or create a new user ID by completing the steps that are mentioned in Creating a user and granting required permissions.
  • Configure the protocol that you want to use to connect to the RHEVH server by completing the steps that are described in Configuring protocols.

Procedure

  1. On the command line, run the following command:

    install_dir/bin/linux_kvm-agent.sh config instance_name

    Example /opt/ibm/apm/agent/bin/linux_kvm-agent.sh config instance_name

    Where
    instance_name
    The name that you want to give to the instance.
    install_dir
    The path where the agent is installed.
  2. Respond to the prompts and specify values for the configuration parameters.

    For information about the configuration parameters, see Configuration parameters to connect to the RHEVH server.

  3. Run the following command to start the agent:

    install_dir/bin/linux_kvm-agent.sh start instance_name

    Example /opt/ibm/apm/agent/bin/linux_kvm-agent.sh start instance_name
