4. Quick Setup for JBoss Operations Network 3.0


The Installation Guide has more information on configurating databases for the JBoss ON server, upgrading servers, and other installation information. This is a quick summary of performing an initial installation.
  1. Set up a database named rhqadmin and a database user named rhqadmin. Make sure the database user has adequate permissions to perform operations on the JBoss ON database.
    For more detailed database setup information:
  2. Stop any currently running JBoss ON instances.
    serverRoot/jon-server-3.0.0.GA/bin/rhq-server.sh stop
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    If the new JBoss ON server will use a database that existing JBoss ON instances are also using, then all of the existing JBoss ON instances have to be stopped.
  3. Download the server packages from the Customer Support Portal.
    1. Click Software in the top menu.
    2. In the Product field, select the JBoss Operations Network product.
  4. Unzip the server distribution to the directory where it will be executed from. For example:
    cd /opt
    
    unzip jon-server-3.0.0.GA.zip
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    This creates a jon-server-3.0.0.GA/ directory in your chosen installation root.
  5. Run the JBoss ON server:
    serverRoot/jon-server-3.0.0.GA/bin/rhq-server.sh start
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  6. Open the server UI at http://localhost:7080/. This will display the JBoss ON server installer.
    Clicking the Click here to continue the installation link brings you to the main installer page.
  7. Go through the installer and fill in the information. Only the database connection information is required; most of the default can be accepted without changes.
    The main installer page appears different depending on the database settings.
  8. When the configuration is complete, click the link to log into the JBoss ON UI.
