LCM Installation Process 2
You install and configure LCM by using both the Orchestrator configuration interface and the LCM interface.
Before installing LCM, you must install and configure vCenter Orchestrator. You must use the Orchestrator
configuration interface to configure the components that are related to the engine, such as the database,
network, server certificate, and so on. These components must be configured correctly so that LCM functions
properly.
Table 2-1 lists the interfaces that you use to complete the installation process:

NOTE LCM 1.0.1 and LCM 1.0.2 users can migrate their existing configuration to LCM 1.1. If you want to
migrate your LCM 1.0.1 or LCM 1.0.2 configuration, see Chapter 10, “Migrating to LCM 1.1,” on page 59,
before proceeding with the LCM 1.1 installation.
