Deploy vRealize Operations for Intelligent Operations Management for VMware Cloud Foundation

You reuse or create a cross-instance environment in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager and deploy the vRealize Operations analytics cluster and cloud proxy appliances.

Prerequisites

Verify that your environment fulfills the prerequisites for the deployment of vRealize Operations.

Prerequisite	Value
Environment	Required storage per analytics cluster node: Initial storage: 274 GB Additional storage for monitoring data: 1 TB Required storage per cloud proxy: 84GB Verify that vCenter Server is operational. Verify that the vSphere cluster has vSphere DRS and HA activated. Verify that the NSX Manager is operational. Verify that the cross-instance NSX segment is available for the deployment of vRealize Operations analytics nodes. Verify that the local-instance NSX segment is available for the deployment of vRealize Operations cloud proxy appliances. Verify that vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager in the first VMware Cloud Foundation instance is operational and data collection from the management domain vCenter Server instance has run successfully. Verify that the clustered Workspace ONE Access deployment managed by vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager is operational.
Software	Verify that the vRealize Operations and Cloud Proxy product binaries are available in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager.
License	Verify that you obtained the vRealize Suite or vRealize Operations license with a quantity that fulfills the requirements of this design.
Active Directory	Verify that the required Active Directory user accounts are created. Verify that the required Active Directory security groups are created. Verify that the required Active Directory security group memberships are set with the required user accounts.
Workspace ONE Access	Verify that the required Active Directory directories are configured with Active Directory over LDAPS. This configuration ensures that the Active Directory users and groups for use by vRealize Operations are synchronized to the clustered Workspace ONE Access deployment.
Certificate Authority	This solution uses Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services for Certificate Authority and the CertGenVVS tool for the creation of certificates. However, this tool supports generating certificate signing requests (CSRs) for third party certificate authorities for import to the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager locker. Verify that the Active Directory Certificate Authority is available for the environment. Download the CertGenVVS tool and generate the signed certificate for the vRealize Operations with subject alternative names that include the FQDN of the analytics cluster and each cloud proxy appliance.
