Installing
The VSA.tgz archive file contains the installation file install.vsa-<x.x.x.el>.tgz for Linux distributions:
- RedHat
- CentOS
The ./install.sh installation script:
- Installs the package content.
- Creates VSA users.
- Configures/initializes the VSA services to start upon reboot.
The installation adds 3 users who can all log in using remote shell (SSH):
- vsadmin is the privileged user who has access to all features.
- vsuser is the non-privileged user without access to configuration commands.
- vsfiles has limited remote SFTP access to VSA log and configuration files.
NOTE: Before installing VSA, ensure that SE Linux is disabled.
