To import an existing private cloud environment for a vRealize Suite product, use the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager installation wizard.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that you have an existing vRealize Suite instance.
  • Verify that you have an existing data center.
  • Verify that you have created or imported a certificate.
    Note: Certificates are not required for importing an existing environment. However, it is required when you select both import and new install in one flow while creating an environment.

Procedure

  1. Log in to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager as an vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Admin or vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Cloud Admin and click Create Environment.
  2. After entering the environment data fields, under each of the required vRealize Suite product, select Import and click the required vRealize Suite product checkbox for the vRealize Suite product name.
  3. Click Next.
  4. In the launched install wizard, on the Products Details page, update the details and select all the vCenter servers where all product components are installed.
    If you select a combination of import and install for two or more products while creating an environment, then enter the details as a new Install of product. If you are opting for an organic growth by adding another product after creating an environment with New Install or combination of Import and New Install, then the details in Install wizard is already prepopulated. You can go ahead and click Next. If you are opting for an organic growth by adding another product after creating an Environment with Import only, then the installation wizard details are not prepopulated.

    After you import a product for a scale out, you must add a certificate. To manage a certificate, add the certificate from the settings tab and then import during scale out.

  5. Review the summary information and then click Submit.
