vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Implementation
You deploy
vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager
in VMware
Cloud Foundation
mode by using
SDDC
Manager
. After that, you perform the
necessary post-deployment configurations.- Download the VMware Software Install Bundle forvRealize Suite Lifecycle Managerfrom the VMware Depot to the local bundle repository. See Downloading VMware Cloud Foundation Upgrade Bundles.
- Allocate an IP address for thevRealize Suite Lifecycle Managervirtual appliance on the cross-instance NSX segment and prepare both forward (A) and reverse (PTR) DNS records.
- Allocate an IP address for theNSXstandalone Tier-1 Gateway on the cross-instance NSX segment. This address is used for the service interface of the standaloneNSXTier 1 Gateway created during the deployment. The Tier 1 Gateway is used for load-balancing of specific vRealize Suite products andWorkspace ONE Access.
- Ensure you have enough storage capacity:
- Required storage: 178 GB
- Virtual disk provisioning: Thin
- Verify that the management domainvCenter Serveris operational.
- Verify thatNSX Manageris operational.
- Verify thePrerequisite Checklistsheet in thePlanning and Preparation Workbook.
By default,
VMware
Cloud Foundation
uses NSX
to create NSX segments and deploys vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager
and the vRealize Suite products to these
NSX segments. Starting with VMware
Cloud Foundation
4.3, NSX segments are no longer configured during the management
domain bring-up process, but instead are configured using the SDDC Manager
UI
. The new process offers the choice of
using either overlay-backed or VLAN-backed segments. See Deploying Application Virtual Networks in VMware Cloud Foundation.vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager
runs in VMware
Cloud Foundation
mode, the integration ensures awareness between the two
components. You launch the deployment of vRealize Suite products from the SDDC Manager
UI
and are redirected to the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager
UI where you complete the
deployment process.
