Installing Application Services 3
To install Application Services 6.1, you can create and deploy the virtual appliance in either
vCloud Director or in vSphere vCenter Server.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n
Preparing to Install Application Services
n
Start the Application Services Appliance
n
Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to the Application Services Web Interface
n
Unlock Your darwin_user Account
n
Restart Application Services
n
Configure Application Services to Use a Proxy for External URLs
n
Register Application Services to vRealize Automation
Preparing to Install Application Services
Before you begin to install the Application Services appliance, verify that your computing environment
meets the hardware and software system requirements.
Application Services requires that vCloud Director use specific configuration settings. For previously
installed configurations of vCenter Server and vCloud Director servers, verify that these servers use the
settings that work with Application Services.
n
Application Services System Requirements
The virtual appliance on which you run Application Services must meet certain hardware and
software requirements. In addition, you must open certain ports for Application Services.
n
Set Up vCenter Server Cluster Configurations
You must set up the storage and network of your vCenter Server cluster configurations to meet
certain requirements so that you can install Application Services in vCloud Director or vSphere.
n
Set Up vCloud Director for Application Services
You must configure a virtual appliance in vCloud Director to successfully install Application Services.
If you have a previously installed version of vCloud Director, you must check the configuration
settings to optimize for Application Services.
