Installing
vCenter Operations Manager 3
The installation process for vCenter Operations Manager includes configuring network and clock settings,
deploying and registering vCenter Operations Manager with a vCenter Server system, licensing the
vCenter Operations Manager extension on the vCenter Server system, and granting user access.

Configure Network Parameters for the vCenter Operations Manager
vApp
Before you deploy the vCenter Operations Manager vApp, configure the network parameters to supply the
information for the network. Use the vSphere Client to configure network parameters before you deploy the
vApp and connect it to a network. Use the IP Pool configuration option to enter network parameters including
the network base address, net mask, and the default gateway address. IP pools provide a network configuration
that is assigned to a network used by a vApp. The vApp can then leverage vCenter Server to automatically
provide an IP configuration to its virtual machines.
Prerequisites
n
Identify the subnet and gateway information for the network that will be used for the virtual machine in
the vApp.
n
From a Windows virtual machine or system on the network, identify the DNS servers in your network
with the ipconfig /all command and be prepared to use the name of one of those servers.
n
Verify that you are connected to a vCenter Server system with the vSphere Client.
NOTE If you do not configure an IP pool, the vSphere Client reports network errors. Without IP Pool
configuration, you will not be able to assign static IP addresses to the vApp.
