Before you can create a local environment for product deployments, you must update the credentials for the Management domain vCenter Server that is associated with the region-specific data center in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager. Before you can create a cross-region environment for product deployments, you must add a cross-region data center and the associated Management domain vCenter Server to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager.

During the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment, vRealize Easy Installer adds the region-specific data center, sfo01-m01dc, to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager. SDDC Manager associates the region-specific data center with the Management domain vCenter Server by using the administrator@local account. You update the Management domain vCenter Server in the region-specific data center to use the svc-vrslcm-vsphere account for the deployment of the region-specific components, such as vRealize Log Insight.

Also, you add the cross-region data center, cross-region-dc, and the associated Management domain vCenter Server for the deployment of the cross-region components, such as the Workspace ONE Access cluster, the vRealize Operations Manager analytics cluster, and the vRealize Automation cluster.
