vCenter Server Appliance Deployment Example
Use the templates in the following example to deploy two pairs of virtual appliances on two ESXi hosts. The template
displayed in Example 17 deploys the first Platform Services Controller on the first ESXi host, and the template displayed
in Example 18 deploys a replicating Platform Services Controller on the second ESXi host. Example 19 and Example 20
deploy two vCenter Server Appliance instances with an external Platform Services Controller. The first
vCenter Server Appliance is deployed on the first ESXi host and is registered with the first Platform Services Controller.
The second vCenter Server Appliance is deployed on the second ESXi host and is registered with the second Platform
Services Controller.
I
MPORTANT You must first deploy the Platform Services Controller, and then you can deploy the vCenter Server
Appliance and register it with this Platform Services Controller.
By having two or more Platform Services Controllers that replicate their vCenter Single Sign-On data, you can ensure
high availability of your system.
