Chapter 2. Install, Configure, and Administer vRealize Operations Manager
This chapter will guide you through installing vRealize Operations, establishing the cluster, and setting the initial configuration, including establishing your initial groups and default policy. Finally, we will look at some of the ongoing administrative tasks needed to keep the solution healthy and running smoothly.
The topics we will cover are:
- Initial planning and preparation
- vApp deployment
- Adding Nodes and High Availability (HA)
- Initial configuration, policies and groups
- Administration of vRealize Operations
Note
This chapter will only cover the installation of vRealize Operations as a virtual appliance. Installation on Linux and Windows is also possible; however, this needs special consideration, and is outside the scope of this book.
