JSON Sample File for Installing Platform Services Controller with HA or Multisite
Deployment
You can use the following sample JSON file to install a Platform Services Controller and join it as a replication
partner to a vCenter Single Sign-On domain in an existing Platform Services Controller. Two Platform Services
Controller instances can replicate their infrastructure data either within the same site or across different sites.
To configure two Platform Services Controller instances within one site in HA mode, when installing the
second Platform Services Controller, use the same site name as the site name of the first Platform Services
Controller. You must change the parameters in bold to your specific values.
For information about the parameters and their descriptions, see “Installation Parameters” on page 8.
