#4279 [HHQ-4084] vSphere plugin requires setup parameters in agent

[Hyperic Team]

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-4084
vSphere plugin requires setup parameters in agent.properties to be explicitly set.

The following setup parameters need to be explicitly set for the vSphere plugin to function:

agent.setup.camIP=<camIP>


agent.setup.camPort=7080


agent.setup.camSSLPort=7443


agent.setup.camSecure=yes


agent.setup.camLogin=<Login>


agent.setup.camPword=<Pword>


agent.setup.agentIP=<agentIP>


agent.setup.agentPort=2144


agent.setup.resetupTokens=no

If running the agent in uni-directional mode, the following parameter is also required:


agent.setup.unidirectional=yes

These values should not have to be explicitly stated in the agent.properties file; they should be read automatically when user runs setup.

Expected Result:


The vSphere plugin should function without having to explicitly state agent properties as with all other plugins

Actual Result:


The vSphere plugin requires agent properties to be explicitly configured

Steps to Reproduce:


1. Install hq-agent on Windows Server hosting VMware vCenter Server


2. Do not modify the agent.properties file


3. Start hq-agent and configure during setup


4. Note the vSphere plugin will not work


5. Edit the agent.properties to explicity state the above setup parameters


6. Restart the hq-agent


7. Note the vSphere plugin will function correctly

Work around:


Must explicitly configure the setup parameters in agent.properties

Additional Information:


If this is necessary for the vSphere plugin to work, then it must be documented in both documentation as well as plugin directions within Configuration Properties
