vRealize Automation requires several Windows virtual machines to act as IaaS components in a distributed configuration. These redundant components provide high availability for the vRealize Automation infrastructure features.
About this task
To facilitate cloning, this design uses the vra7-template and the vra7-proxy-agent-template image customization specification templates and the windows-2012r2-64 VM template. A fully redundant vRealize Automation deployment requires eight virtual machines that run on Windows. Repeat this procedure eight times by using the information in the following table to create eight VMs.

Prerequisites
Verify that you have created the Windows 2012 R2 VM template, windows2012r2-template.
SHA512 is disabled in Windows for TLS 1.2 by default. If SHA512 certificates will be used for vRealize Automation, you need to install the windows update in Microsoft KB2973337.
