Please note:
- This section describes how to install the Charon-SSP VE license server kit on Charon host systems that were launched from prepackaged Charon-SSP VE cloud marketplace images. The license server kit is included in these images.
- For more information, and if you installed your host system using a different base image and the Charon-SSP VE RPM packages, please refer to the Charon-SSP VE License Server Guide. The basic steps are the same, but you must copy the VE license server kit to your instance in a separate step, and the user for interactive login depends on the configuration of the Linux cloud image chosen for the instance and the configuration during launch.
Charon-SSP for Virtual Environments (VE) requires at least one VE license server on the Charon host system itself or an a separate license server. The VE license server must run in a supported cloud (unless both Charon-SSP for VE and the license server run in the same VMware environment). The software package is included in the Charon-SSP VE cloud image. The installation of the VE License Server package on a Charon host system launched from a Charon-SSP VE marketplace image is described below:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Log into your cloud instance and become the root user on the Charon host in the cloud using the following commands: $ ssh -i <path-to-private-key> sshuser@<ip-address-of-cloud-instance> |
| 2 | Go to the directory where the package has been stored (this location is applicable to the prepackaged Charon-SSP VE marketplace image): |
| 3 | Install the package: |
