The SSO host is initialized. If your Identity Appliance does not function correctly after configuration,
redeploy and reconfigure the appliance. Do not make changes to the existing appliance.
Deploy and Configure the vRealize Appliance
The vRealize Appliance is a preconfigured virtual appliance that deploys the vRealize Appliance server
and Web console (the user portal). It is delivered as an open virtualization format (OVF) template. The
system administrator downloads the appliance and deploys it into the vCenter Server or ESX/ESXi
inventory.
1 Deploy the vRealize Appliance
To deploy the vRealize Appliance, a system administrator must log in to the vSphere client and
select deployment settings.
2 Enable Time Synchronization on the vRealize Appliance
Clocks on the Identity Appliance server, vRealize Automation server, and Windows servers must be
synchronized to ensure a successful installation.
3 Configure the vRealize Appliance
To prepare the vRealize Appliance for use, a system administrator configures the host settings,
generates an SSL certificate, and provides SSO connection information.
Deploy the vRealize Appliance
To deploy the vRealize Appliance, a system administrator must log in to the vSphere client and select
deployment settings.
Prerequisites
n
Download the vRealize Appliance from the VMware Web site.
n
Log in to the vSphere client as a user with system administrator privileges.
Procedure
1 Select File > Deploy OVF Template from the vSphere client.
2 Browse to the vRealize Appliance file you downloaded and click Open.
3 Click Next.
4 Click Next on the OVF Template Details page.
