Verifying deployment of the Developer Portal subsystem

Verify that deployment of the Developer Portal OVA file succeeded.

Before you begin

You must have completed Deploying the Developer Portal subsystem OVA file.

About this task

After you configure an ISO and deploy it with the Developer Portal subsystem OVA, as described in Deploying the Developer Portal subsystem OVA file, verify that the subsystem installed correctly and is functional.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the virtual machine by using an SSH tool to check the status of the installation:
    1. Enter the following command to connect to port using SSH: 
      ssh ip_address -l apicadm
      You are logging in with the default ID of apicadm, which is the API Connect ID that has administrator privileges.
    2. Select Yes to continue connecting.
      Your host names are automatically added to your list of hosts.
    3. Run the apic status command to verify that the installation completed and the system is running correctly.
      The command output for a correctly running Developer Portal system is similar to the following lines:
      $ sudo apic status
INFO[0000] Log level: info

  2. Optional: Define multiple Developer Portal endpoints. See Defining multiple portal endpoints for a VMware environment.
  3. If you have now installed all subsystems, continue to Post-deployment steps.
