Chapter 5. Installing Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization

Procedure 5.1. Install JBoss Data Virtualization

1. Open a terminal window and navigate to the location where the GUI installer was downloaded.
2. Enter the following command to launch the GUI installer:

   java -jar jboss-dv-VERSION-installer.jar

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
3. A dialogue box will open followed by the End User License Agreement. If you accept the terms of the agreement, click I accept the terms of this license agreement and then click Next.
4. Tell Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization where Red Hat JBoss EAP is installed on your server or specify a new location if you do not have it installed as it comes bundled with the product. (If you have a pre-existing installation of Red Hat JBoss EAP, ensure that it is patched to the latest version of 6.4.x.) Click Next.
5. Ensure Teiid Installation and Modeshape Installation are ticked. Click Next.
6. You will be prompted to create a new EAP Admin, Dashboard Admin, Teiid data access user and ModeShape user and whether you want to enable OData access. Once created, EAP Admin is added to the ManagementRealm and can be used to access the Management Console. The other users are added to the ApplicationRealm and can be used to access specific components of JBoss Data Virtualization. Enter the new username and password in the appropriate fields and click Next.
   You must ensure that you remember all of these passwords. They give you access to different parts of the system. The EAP account and password allows you to administer the EAP Server, the Dashboard password is for administrative functions related to the web interface, and the Teiid data access user and ModeShape user are for standard user access.
   Note that the username and password are not allowed to match and the password must have at least eight characters, with one alphabetical character, one numeric character and one non-numeric character.
7. You can install Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization either with default configuration or with additional configuration options. For this exercise, we will be using the defaults only, so select Perform default configuration to install Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization with default options. Click Next.
8. The Configure password vault screen appears. Input your desired password, which must have no fewer than six characters. Click Next.

   Note

   The default H2 database is not suitable for production databases. Use it in testing and evaluation environments only.
9. A summary of the installation is displayed. Click Next for the installation to commence. This may take a few moments. Once all the components are installed, click Next.
10. Click Generate an automatic installation script if you wish to generate automatic script. This allows you to quickly reinstall or mass-deploy the product using the settings you have configured during the initial installation, without having to step through the wizard each time.

    Note

    Note that an automatic installation script created for Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.0 will not work with Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.1.
11. Click Done to exit the installer.
