To create a private cloud environment and install VMware Aria Suite products, use a VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle installation wizard.

Prerequisites

  • Configure product binaries for the products to install. See Configure product binaries for your release.
  • Ensure that you have added a vCenter to the data center with valid credentials and the request is complete.
  • Generate a single SAN certificate with host names for each product to install from the Certificate tab in the UI.
  • Verify that your system meets the hardware and software requirements for each of the VMware Aria Suite products you want to install. See the following product documentation for system requirements needed for your specific product release:
  • VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator offers two setup options:
    • VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator-Integrated
      This is the traditional VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator setup option, where VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator is integrated with VMware Aria Automation.
      • If VMware Aria Automation is multi-tenancy enabled, then multiple instances of VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator can be installed in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
      • If VMware Aria Automation is not multi-tenancy enabled, then one instance of VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator can be installed in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
    • VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator Standalone: This setup option has no dependency on VMware Aria Automation and it allows you to integrate with vSphere.
  • VMware Aria Automation Config offers two setup options:
    • VMware Aria Automation Config-Integrated: This setup is part of VMware Aria Automation Config single node setup, which does not support multiple node setup or vertical scale up options. After VMware Aria Automation is installed, if multiple tenancy is not enabled, the VMware Aria Automation Config instance associates with the base tenant of VMware Aria Automation. When multi-tenancy is enabled in VMware Aria Automation, VMware Aria Automation Config is associated with the newly added tenants, and then proceeds with the installation. When VMware Aria Automation is imported, the VMware Aria Automation Config instances which are associated with VMware Aria Automation are also imported.
    • VMware Aria Automation Config Standalone: This setup has no dependency on VMware Aria Automation.
      When installing VMware Aria Automation Config, you require the following licenses:
      • VMware Aria Automation Config-Integrated: VMware Aria Automation Enterprise, VMware Aria Automation Advanced or Suite license.
      • VMware Aria Automation Config Standalone: VMware Aria Automation Standard Plus license.
