Deploying vCloud Suite 3
To leverage the capabilities of vCloud Suite, you must install its components separately and ensure that the
required prerequisites and configuration requirements are met.
This book provides high-level design recommendations and deployment sequences. For installation
instructions and in-depth discussions of individual vCloud Suite components, see the documentation for
those products.

Install vCloud Suite Components
Follow the recommended sequence of installation to build a stable and scalable vCloud Suite environment.
The recommended installation sequence has been verified for a greenfiled virtual environment.
NOTE If you want to use vCenter Operations Manager to monitor applications, you must install
vCenter Infrastructure Navigator first. If you want to use vSphere App HA, you must install
vCenter Hyperic first.
You download and install vCloud Suite components separately. Depending on the type of cluster that you
are building, you might need to omit some components from the installation sequence.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have system resources that are sufficient for the deployment of vCloud Suite components.
Verify that your environment meets the requirements for external dependencies. See “External
Dependencies for Deploying vCloud Suite,” on page 30.
Verify that you have a valid vCloud Suite license. See “Licensing,” on page 41.
