Pre-requisites for Monitoring the Oracle VDI Broker in an Agentless Manner

In case of an agentless approach, the following pre-requisites need to be fulfilled to enable the eG agent to run the VDA commands:

1. A sudo package has to be installed on the broker host; to know how to install the sudo package, refer to Section 1.1 above.

2. After the sudo package is installed, perform the following steps on the broker host:

   • Login to the broker host as a root user;

   • At the command prompt of the host, issue the following command to create a new user:

     useradd –d /export/home/<username> –m <username>

     For instance:

     useradd –d /export/home/eguser –m eguser

   • Next, issue the following command to set a password for the above user:

     passwd <username>

   • When prompted to provide the password, specify the same.

   • Then, proceed to edit the sudo script by issuing the following command:

     usr/local/sbin/visudo

   • Add the following entries to the script:

     <username> ALL=NOPASSWD:/opt/SUNWvda/sbin/vda

     <username> ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/cacaoadm

     <username> ALL=NOPASSWD:/opt/SUNWvda/sbin/vda-db-status

     <username> ALL=NOPASSWD:/opt/SUNWvda/sbin/vda-webadmin

3. All the tests run by the eG agent should be configured with the full path to the install directory of the sudo package;
