Advanced configuration on VMware

Perform configuration tasks on your API Connect deployment on VMware.

See:

Adding a static route on a virtual machine
You can add a static route to the routing table when deploying API Connect on a VMware virtual machine.
Adding disk space to a VMware appliance
Increase disk space on the VMware appliance.
Appliance boot mode configuration
Configure the boot mode for the appliance VMs.
Running commands at boot with iso-ignored boot mode
When iso-ignored boot mode is configured, complete the following steps on each appliance that should run commands at boot.
Changing deployment profiles on VMware
You can change an API Connect installation to use a different deployment profile.
Changing the DNS server configuration on appliances
Complete this task only if you must change the DNS addresses after the initial boot of the VM.
Configuring API Connect subsystems in a cluster
This topic describes how to configure a cluster of API Connect subsystems (management server, analytics, and Developer Portal) with three VMs for each subsystem, for use with a load balancer, to support a high availability (HA) environment.
Configuring SSHD to limit access to your deployment
How to configure SSHD in order to limit host access to your VMware deployment, or to change the SSHD cipher level.
Enabling Developer Portal feature flags on VMware
Use a template override to update the installation CR with settings that control the default behavior of the Developer Portal subsystem.
Managing an appliance data disk
You can use apic commands to manage appliance data disks in your VMware deployment.
Replica override for microservices on VMware
Modify the replica count for microservices by using template overrides for Custom Resources.
Testing a new configuration against a current cluster
You can use the apicup utility to test the validity of a new configuration before you install it.
TLS certificate concepts and operations
Information about internal API Connect certificates, renewing expired certificates, exporting certificates, and other certificate maintenance operations.
Use JWT security instead of mTLS between subsystems
If your network requires TLS termination on load-balancers located between your API Connect subsystems, then disable mTLS and enable JWT to provide application layer security.
Credentials and encryption secrets reference
API Connect user credentials and database encryption secrets that are managed with the apicup certs command.
