This topic describes how to deploy VMware Tanzu Operations Manager (Ops Manager) on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Before you deploy Ops Manager, see the preparation steps in Preparing to Deploy Ops Manager on GCP.
After you complete this procedure, follow the instructions in Configuring BOSH Director on GCP.
Log in to the VMware Tanzu Network, and click Ops Manager.
From the Releases dropdown, select the release to install.
Select one of the following download files:
When you click the download link, your browser downloads or opens the OpsManager_VERSION_onGCP.pdf
or OpsManager_VERSION_onGCP.yml
file.
These documents provide the GCP location of the Ops Manager .tar.gz
installation file based on the geographic location of your installation.
Copy the filepath string of the Ops Manager image based on your deployment location.
Log in to the GCP console.
In the left navigation panel, click Compute Engine, and select Images.
Click Create Image.
Complete the following fields:
om-pcf
.Cloud Storage file: Paste in the Google Cloud Storage filepath you copied from the PDF file in the previous step.
Click Create. The file might take a few minutes to import.
Select the check box for the image that you created above.
Click Create Instance.
In the Create an instance form, complete the following fields:
Machine type: Choose n1-standard-2
.
Click Customize to manually configure the vCPU and memory. An Ops Manager VM instance requires the following minimum specifications:
Machine Spec | Minimum Value |
---|---|
CPU | 2 vCPUs |
Memory | 8 GB |
Boot disk: Click Change, then perform the following steps:
Set the Size (GB) of the boot disk to the minimum or higher.
Machine Spec | Minimum Value |
---|---|
Boot disk | 100 GB |
Select the Ops Manager image you created in the previous step if it is not already selected.
Click Select to save.
Under Identity and API access, select the Service account you created when preparing your environment during the step Set up IAM Service Accounts.

) in the Custom ephemeral IP address field. Specify the next available internal IP address located within the reserved IP range that you configure later in BOSH Director. Do not use the Gateway IP, for example 192.168.101.1

. Click Reserve. In the External IP dropdown, select the static IP address you just reserved.pcf-opsman
and allow-https
. These tags apply the firewall rules you created in Create Firewall Rules for the Network to the Ops Manager VM.Click Create to deploy the new Ops Manager VM. This might take a few moments.
Navigate to your DNS provider, and create an entry that points a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) opsman.MY-DOMAIN
to the pcf-opsman
static IP address of Ops Manager that you created in a previous step.
Note: In order to set up Ops Manager authentication correctly, VMware recommends using an FQDN to access Ops Manager. Using an ephemeral IP address to access Ops Manager can cause authentication errors upon subsequent access.
After you complete this procedure, follow the instructions in Configuring BOSH Director on GCP.
Later on, if you need to SSH into the Ops Manager VM to perform diagnostic troubleshooting, see Log Into the Ops Manager VM.
