Figure 8–2. Typical VCM Enterprise-Wide, Single-Server Installation
For advanced information to install VCM in a single-tier environment, see the VCM Advanced Installation
Guide.
Configure a Single-Tier Installation Environment
In a single-tier installation configuration, you configure the single Windows Server 2008 R2 machine for
the Database, Web, and VCM Collector components, then install VCM. The machine can be a physical or
virtual Windows machine.
CAUTION This procedure assumes that you will install VCM on a clean Windows Server 2008 R2
machine. If you use an existing machine, see the VCM Advanced InstallationGuide for detailed steps
and troubleshooting information.
Prerequisites
n
Connect the single Windows Server 2008 R2 VCM Collector machine to your domain.
n
Obtain the SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise or Standard edition installation disk or verify access to a file
share where the installer resides.
n
Verify that the single-tier server machine has at least 11 GB of free disk space and 2GB of RAM.
