Chapter 2: Installing the Ridgeline 3.0 Server
Ridgeline Installation and Upgrade Guide

2
Stop the Ridgeline server if it is currently running. See
“Starting and Stopping the Ridgeline Server”
on page 24
for information about how to do this.
3
Open the
runserver.sp
file, which resides in
<Ridgeline_install_dir>
/jboss/bin
, and add the
following entry:
epicenter.connect.address=
<host_name>
or
<IP_Address>
This entry specifies the address used by applications such as TFTP for connecting to the Ridgeline
server. If you specify
<host_name>
, make sure the hostname resolves to the correct IP address.
4
Add the following entry to the
runserver.sp
file:
epicenter.snmp.connect.ipaddress=
<IP_Address>
This entry specifies the address used for sending SNMP traps. Note that you must specify an IP
address, not a hostname.
5
Open the
jboss-service.xml
file, which resides in
<Ridgeline_install_dir>
/jboss/server/
epicenter/deploy/http-invoker.sar/META-INF
, and locate the following line:
<attribute name="InvokerURLSuffix">:${epicenter.web.port}/invoker/
JMXInvokerServlet</attribute>
6
Change the value of the
UseHostName
attribute directly below this line to
true
.
7
On the client machine, make sure the hostname of the Ridgeline server resolves to the correct IP
address of the server.
If the server’s IP address does not resolve correctly, add an entry for the server in the client’s
hosts
file. In Windows, the
hosts
file is
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
(where
c:
is the
drive where Windows is installed). In Solaris and Linux, the
hosts
file is
/etc/hosts
.
8
Start the Ridgeline server, as described in
“Starting and Stopping the Ridgeline Server” on page 24
.
NOTE
Configuring the multi-homed server in this way is not supported if the server has more than one interface
to the management network.
Configuring the Multi-Homed Server with NAT
If the multi-homed Ridgeline server with separate management and client access network interfaces is
also used in a NAT configuration, in addition to the procedure above, do the following:
1
In the
runserver.sp
file, which resides in
<Ridgeline_install_dir>
/jboss/bin
, add the
following entry:
remoting.bind_by_host=true
2
In Ridgeline, set the TCP port number that clients use to connect to the Ridgeline server to 56983. To
do this, go to Ridgeline Administration, click the Server Properties tab, select Other from the drop-
down list, and enter
56983
in the Client Port field.
3
On the client machine, make sure the hostname of the Ridgeline server resolves to the correct outside
IP address of the server.
If the server’s IP address does not resolve correctly, add an entry for the server in the client’s
hosts
file. In Windows, the
hosts
file is
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
(where
c:
is the
drive where Windows is installed). In Solaris and Linux, the
hosts
file is
/etc/hosts
.
4
Ensure that the ports used by Ridgeline are accessible through your firewall/NAT setup. Ridgeline
uses the following ports:
