Installation Overview
This is a brief summary of the Hybrid Cloud Manager installation tasks.
1. Identify the architecture you want to use (see “Use Cases”).
2. Log into My VMware and download
the Hybrid Cloud Manager OVA file from the product download page:
https://my.vmware.com/en/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=HCM100&productId=343
3. From vSphere, install the Hybrid Cloud Manager virtual appliance in the on-premises vCenter that will connect to
vCloud Air.
The management interface and the virtual appliances must be in the same vCenter. If you plan to use L2 network
extension, a VMware virtual distributed switch (vDS) must also be available in the same vCenter. See “Preparing
Your Installation Environment” for more configuration details.
4. Register a vCloud Air Endpoint with the vSphere web client.
This step establishes the one-to-one relationship between the on-premises vSphere vCenter and a vCloud Air cloud
instance.
5. Install and configure the hybrid service appliances. For each appliance installed on premises, the installer provisions
a VM in the target vCloud Air vDC. The service appliance configuration determines the feature deployment
architecture (see “Installing and Configuring Hybrid Services”).
Hybrid Cloud Manager Virtual Appliances
The installation package includes the Hybrid Cloud Manager and three hybrid service appliances, each of which is
deployed as a VM. The VMs are automatically provisioned and sized, as shown in Table 1.
