Preparing to Install Application

Manager virtual appliance; and configuring the hardware, resource, and network settings of the Application
Manager host. Other preinstallation tasks might be required depending on the specifics of your deployment.

Prepare to Install Application Manager
You must prepare your environment for the installation of Application Manager.
Prerequisites
n
Plan your Application Manager deployment, deciding how to integrate the Connector. See Installing and
Configuring the Connector.
n
Ensure that all the hardware, network, and resource requirements are met. See “Application Manager
Recommendations and Requirements,” on page 19.
Procedure
1 Create the Domain Name System (DNS) record for the Application Manager virtual appliance host.
CAUTION As part of creating the DNS record, create a pointer (PTR) resource record in a reverse lookup
zone. This allows reverse resolving of IP addresses, which is a required configuration for Application
Manager to function properly.
