If you want to use the free/basic license of WebCFG for managing software like
- vmbk backup
- vi3backup
- crontab
- restarting services
on a VMware ESX 3.x server, you have to install WebCFG locally on the ESX server.
Question: Howto integrate WebCFG in VMware ESX 3.x using the default http port
Answer: For installing WebCFG on an VMware ESX server,
you have to do the following steps
1. Download the current WebCFG application (WebCFG-x.y.war) from http://www.webcfg.com. You will find this file either in the WebCFG-Bundle or the WebCFG update download. You can copy the file via sftp to the VMware ESX-Server or download it directly via wget to the ESX-Server
2. Unzip and deploy the WebCFG-x.y.war application in the tomcat directory
unzip -d /usr/lib/vmware/webAccess/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/WebCFG WebCFG-x.y.war
This directory may be vary to your installation relating to the tomcat-version
(e.g. VMware ESX 3.0.0 build-27701, you will find the directory under /usr/lib/vmware/webAccess/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9)
3. Backup the proxy-configuration file
cp -av /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml.`date +%Y%m%d`
4. Modify and restart the proxy-service for using the new WebCFG application.
nano /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml
Insert a new XML-element redirect after the other redirect elements a new continous id. Repeat this step also with the server elememt after the existing server elememts. There is an example - CAUTION: The id's can differ ! Please be careful changing this file.
Code: # config.proxysvc.http.proxyDatabase:
# using next id (here id=3)
<redirect id="3"> /WebCFG </redirect>
# config.proxysvc.https.
# using next id (here id=4)
<server id="4">
<namespace> /WebCFG </namespace>
<host> localhost </host>
<port> 8080 </port>
</server>
Restart management service
service mgmt-vmware restart
/etc/init.d/vmware-webAccess restart
5. Check your installation using a Browser connecting to URL http: //<ip>/WebCFG. Also the vi3client should work as well as before changing the file.
