You deploy VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle in VMware Cloud Foundation mode by using SDDC Manager. After that, you perform the necessary post-deployment configurations.
By default, VMware Cloud Foundation uses NSX to create NSX segments and deploys VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle and the VMware Aria 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.
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle runs in VMware Cloud Foundation mode, the integration ensures awareness between the two components. You launch the deployment of VMware Aria Suite products from the SDDC Manager UI and are redirected to the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle UI where you complete the deployment process.
Prerequisites
-
Download the VMware Software Install Bundle for VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle from the VMware Depot to the local bundle repository. See Downloading Install Bundles for VMware Cloud Foundation.
-
Allocate an IP address for the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle virtual appliance on the cross-instance NSX segment and prepare both forward (A) and reverse (PTR) DNS records.
-
Allocate an IP address for the NSX standalone Tier-1 Gateway on the cross-instance NSX segment. This address is used for the service interface of the standalone NSX Tier 1 Gateway created during the deployment. The Tier 1 Gateway is used for load-balancing of specific VMware Aria Suite products and Workspace ONE Access.
-
Ensure you have enough storage capacity:
-
Required storage: 178 GB
-
Virtual disk provisioning: Thin
