Hyperic Eroor

Error when adding clients on Auto Discovery:  
Unable to import platform : org.hyperic.hq.common.SystemException: org.hyperic.hq.common.SystemException: Unable to find PlatformType [Win32]

Solution:

Looks like an issue with spaces in the server install path -- re-locating my server-4.5 directory enabled the server to actually complete its deployment process (without spitting stack traces to the log), and the eam_platform_type table (and others) to be populated with initial data.

Here's what I did to re-locate the server, assuming it's installed to the default "C:\Program Files\server-4.5":
1. Open a command prompt.
2. In the command prompt, run: "C:\Program Files\server-4.5\bin\hq-server" stop
(adjust path as required)
3. Run: "C:\Program Files\server-4.5\bin\hq-server" remove
4. Relocate the server-4.5 directory, eg. to C:\Hyperic\server-4.5
5. [Back] in the command prompt, run: "C:\Hyperic\server-4.5\bin\hq-server" install
6. Finally, run: "C:\Hyperic\server-4.5\bin\hq-server" start
... and hold your breath...

You may also want to relocate the agent as well, just to be safe... process follows as above

test vpn bandwidth and speed with iperf

This article explains how to use a free utility called iPerf to test the speed of a VPN connection. In this example I am running iPerf on windows but there are other versions available (i.e. Linux). Download iPerf from  http://linhost.info/2010/02/iperf-on-windows/ Put a copy on 2 computers with 1 either side of the VPN. In this example I have put in the c:\triangle folder On the “server” PC open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder containing iperf. Note on computers running Win7 or Win2008 I recommend running the cmd prompt in elevated mode. Run the command  iperf –s On the “client” PC open a cmd prompt and again navigate to the folder containing iperf. Run the command  iperf –c After a short while the estimated bandwidth is displayed.
