Using the vCenter Plug-in on a Tomcat Server
VMware requires that all vCenter plug-ins are web-based applications hosted on a
Tomcat Server, which can be downloaded and installed on Linux and Windows
systems. Here is a link to Tomcat:
http://tomcat.apache.org/
The QLogic vCenter Plug-in supports Tomcat 5, 6, and 7. The installer
dynamically detects the Tomcat version and installs accordingly.
This section provides the following procedures for using the vCenter Plug-in on a
Tomcat Server:
Installing Tomcat on Linux
Starting and Stopping Tomcat on Linux
Installing Tomcat on Windows
Starting and Stopping Tomcat on Windows
CAUTION!
The Flash update may take up to ten minutes to complete. Do not
cancel the task or reboot the server during this time. Doing so may
corrupt the firmware on the adapter.
