Reloading the Catalogic DPX Environment in the Shell Session

Before installing or updating Catalogic DPX Plug-In for VMware vSphere Client, update and reload the Catalogic DPX Environment by taking the following steps:

1. Log in to a shell session of the Catalogic DPX Master Server, typically, by using an SSH client.

2. Change the working directory to /opt/catalogic/:

   cd /opt/catalogic/

   Get the SSL thumbprint for Catalogic DPX Plug-in for VMware vSphere Client:

   cat /opt/catalogic/opt-apigateway/keystore.jks.thumbprint

   Typically, the SSL thumbprint looks similar to the following example:

   01:23:45:67:89:AB:CD:EF:00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:AA:BB

3. Edit the YAML file, dpx.yml, with a text editor such as vi:

   sudo vi /opt/catalogic/dpx.yml

4. In dpx.yml, find the following section and nested key-value pairs:

   • Section (#): # DPX vSphere plug-in manager service

   • Key (level 1): vplugin-mgr

   • Key (level 2): environment

   In the list value for the environment key, add the following items:

   - AUTH_URL_FORMAT=http://%s/auth
   - DPX_MASTER_URL_FORMAT=http://%s/app/api
   - SERVER_SSL_THUMBPRINT=<the SSL thumbprint>

5. Reload the configuration files in the Catalogic DPX Master Server:

   make stop
   
   sudo make start

After completing this task, you can install or update the Catalogic DPX Plug-in for VMware vSphere Client.
