Allocate host names and IP addresses to all components you deploy for the cloud management layer of Cloud Foundation.
Allocate host names and IP addresses to the following components and configure DNS with an FQDN that maps to the IP address where defined:
| Component | Requires DNS Configuration |
|---|---|
| VMware vRealize® Automation™ | Yes |
| Microsoft SQL Server for vRealize Automation | Yes |
Before you can deploy vRealize Automation, you must deploy vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager. When you deploy vRealize Automation or vRealize Operations, Cloud Foundation deploys an NSX Edge used to load balance vRealize Suite product services within the management domain. vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager and the NSX Edge are shared between vRealize Automation and vRealize Operations.
The following tables provide examples of the information to be collected for the cloud management layer, including the shared components with vRealize Automation. If you are deploying both vRealize Operations and vRealize Automation, the shared components are only installed once. For illustration purposes, this example uses a fictional DNS root domain named
rainpole.local. Modify the example information for your organization's configuration.
Important: Host names for IaaS VMs should be 15 characters or less due to limitations in the Windows OS. If the host names are longer they will be trimmed during the installation and installation will fail.
The required host names and IP addresses vary depending on whether or not you are using Application Virtual Networks (AVNs).
