Installation

VXE is tested on "CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)". Linux Kernel "3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64". VXE is expected to work on many other 3.x kenel versions and Linux distributions.

VXE installation has two parts: VXE Kernel Module and User Space services installation. No chnages to the kernel are required.

VXE Kernel Module installation

Being root install kernel development package:

# yum install kernel-devel

Download and untar VXE Kernel Module:

$ tar zxvf lkm-2.0.1.tar.gz

Go into lkm directory and run make. Being root run make install.

User Space services installation

Download VXE_Management-2.0.1-1.noarch.rpm and being root install it:

# rpm -i VXE_Management-2.0.1-1.noarch.rpm

Rpm installs two services: vxe-logger and vxe-gui. vxe-gui start automatically in case vxe-logger is started.

vxe-logger is not preconfigured to start on the system start-up. To start it manuslly:

# service vxe-logger start

vxe-logger loads VXE Kernel Module and starts vxe-gui.

To check if VXE works as expected point your browser to the host, port 5000. Initial credentials are admin/12345.
