VMA 4.0 Configuration Setup

VMA 4.0 Configuration 

This is a reference guide to some of the common configuration steps that I performed when 
setting up the VMA on the network. 

Setup Authentification to vCenter/ESX hosts   

 sudo vifp addserver 
vifp listservers
vifpinit
Test it works
vicfg-nics -l --vihost 

Update vMA

$ sudo vi /etc/vmware/esxupdate/vimaupdate.conf
 

If you require a proxy server to connect through: 

Uncomment the line: proxy = http://
Uncomment the line: proxyport = 
 

Press ESC, then type :wq to save the file 

$ sudo vima-update scan
$ sudo vima-update update

Setup SSH Keys

$ mkdir ~/.ssh
$ vi ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

Save the file by :wq 

$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
