Installing JetPatch Overview
Process
Requirement: vCenter Version 6.5 and higher.
If you have not already, download the JetPatch OVA file.
- The download file contains the JetPatch, pre-installed on a Oracle 8.x server. The OVA is about 4.4GB.
- General sizing information can be found here.
Import the virtual appliance:
-
- In your vSphere client, from the Datacenter menu, right-click then selects Deploy OVF Template:
- Type or browse to the location of the provided OVA, and click Next:
- Continue through the wizard with the appropriate settings for your environment. The virtual appliance automatically allocates a 250GB disk for itself, but if you select Thin Provisioned further on in the wizard, the virtual appliance initially only takes up disk space used.
- In your vSphere client, from the Datacenter menu, right-click then selects Deploy OVF Template:
Change Temp Password
SSH into the VM and change the default root password, which is jetpatch123456. Log in as root, and you will be asked to re-enter the same password (jetpatch123456) and then finally you will be asked to save a new password. Please remember this password.
Static IP and Hostname Configuration
By default, the OVA is configured dynamic IP, however, it JetPatch requires a static IP.
Instructions on how to assign a static IP address to a Linux VM
Disable IPV6
Make sure IPV6 is disabled on the JetPatch console
Optional: Hostname Configuration
To configure the JetPatch server hostname, use the Network Manager Interface:
-
nmtui
- Then select "Set System Hostname" in the interface.
Make sure the hostname is accessible by local applications:
- Run:
hostname -f
If the correct hostname is returned, you are all set.
Login to the JetPatch Console
via chrome or firefox browser using https://<JetPatch_Server_IP-or-Hostname>/
