To upgrade to vCloud Availability 1.0.1, you must first install and configure the vCloud Availability Installer Appliance.
About this task
This procedure demonstrates how to deploy and configure a vCloud Availability Installer Appliance by using the VMware OVF Tool. Alternatively, you can use the vSphere Web Client to install the vCloud Availability Installer Appliance.
The vCloud Availability Installer Appliance is deployed as an OVA file and includes the following components:
vCloud Availability scripts for installation and maintenance operations
SLES 12 SP1 image to provide Docker container hosting
You run all installation and configuration commands from the vCloud Availability Installer Appliance, unless documentation instructs otherwise.
Installation and configuration procedures contain long, single commands that should be run as one. There are breaks for better visibility marked with backslash (\). The beginning of a new command is marked with the number sign (#).
