2.15.2 Installing and Starting the vmetrics Service

To install the vmetrics service, run the install.sh script as the root user on dom0:

[root@scac10adm01]# cd /opt/oracle.SupportTools/vmetrics
[root@scac10adm01]# ./install.sh

The install.sh script verifies that it is running on dom0, stops any vmetrics services currently running, copies the package files to /opt/oracle.vmetrics, and copies vmetrics.svc to /etc/init.d.

To start the vmetrics service on dom0, run the following command as the root user on dom0:

[root@scac10adm01 vmetrics]# service vmetrics.svc start

The commands to gather the statistics are run every 30 seconds.
