The following system resources are required to install vRealize Automation and VMware Identity Manager.

vRealize Easy Installer supports
  • vRealize Automation 8.0.0 and later.
  • vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.0.0 and later
  • VMware Identity Manager 3.3.1 (for import only) and later.
Note: vRealize Automation 8 does not support nested virtual environments, such as ESX > ESX > vRA.
Requirements vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager VMware Identity Manager vRealize Automation
Medium Profile Extra Large Profile
Total Disk Size 78 GB 100 GB 246 GB (Only for single node Installation) 246 GB (Only for single node Installation)
Virtual CPU 2 8 12 24
Memory/RAM Size 6 GB 16 GB 42 GB 96 GB
Maximum Network Latency 5 ms between each cluster node 5 ms between each cluster node
Maximum Storage Latency 20 ms for each disk IO operation from any vRA node 20 ms for each disk IO operation from any vRA node
Note: The system requirements for vRA are for single node environments. For 3 node HA vRA environments, multiply the requirement by 3.

For more information on configuration limits, see the VMware Configuration Maximums tool.

vRealize Orchestrator Considerations

Scaling the heap memory of the vRealize Orchestrator Appliance is only applicable for standalone vRealize Orchestrator instances and is not supported for embedded vRealize Orchestrator instances in vRealize Automation.

Note: To modify the heap memory of an embedded vRealize Orchestrator instance, you must increase the vRealize Automation profile size through the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager.

Hardware Requirements

Specifications for Workspace ONE Access are based on the number of users in the directories. For more information, see System and Network Configurations Requirements.

Note: To learn more about the hardware resizing of Workspace ONE Access through Lifecycle Manager, see Hardware Sizing for Workspace ONE Access.

Load Balancer Requirements

The Load Balancing guide includes information on these configurations:

  • NSX LB
  • F5 LB
  • Citrix NetScaler LB

For more information, see vRealize Automation Load Balancing.

Network Requirements

vRealize Automation requires:
  • Single, static IPv4 and Network Address
  • Reachable DNS server set manually
  • Valid, Fully qualified domain name, set manually that can be resolved both forward and in reverse through the DNS server

Ports and Protocols Requirements

vRealize Automation is accessed over port 443. The 443 port is secured with a self-signed certificate that is generated during the installation. When using an external load balancer, it must be set up to balance on port 443. The table provides an overview of the Ports and Port number used for vRealize Automation. For more information on Ports and Protocols for vRealize Automation where you can view port information of various VMware products in a single dashboard and also export an offline copy of the selected data, see VMware Ports and Protocols.
