Deploying Products by Using VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager

To deploy a product, on the VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager host, first you must create the respective product environment.

Product Environments

Starting with version 1.4, VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager stores locally the information about the deployed products and product environments. VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager stores information about the registered data center components, the deployed products, and the registered products.

VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager stores the sensitive information, such as passwords, private keys, and licenses, in a secure local vault.

Important: You must create the product environment with a unique environment ID. If you configure a new product environment with the same environment ID as an already deployed product environment, the environment you deployed first is overwritten.

After a product deployment or a data center component registration, VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager stores the information to files locally in its memory. When starting the VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager application, the system loads the files.

Importing Product Environments

To import a previously deployed products in VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager, you trigger an import request that validates if the specified deployment is working, and imports the product environment information into the VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager.
