Prerequisites
n
Verify that your installation machine meets the requirements described in IaaS Web Service and
Model Manager Server Requirements.
n
Enable Time Synchronization on the Windows Server.
n
Verify that you have deployed and fully configured the vRealize Automation appliance, and that the
necessary services are running (plugin-service, catalog-service, iaas-proxy-provider).
Procedure
1 Download the IaaS Installer
A system administrator downloads the installer to a Windows 2008 or Windows 2012 physical or
virtual machine.
2 Select the Installation Type
The system administrator runs the installer wizard from the Windows 2008 or 2012 installation
machine.
3 Check Prerequisites
The Prerequisite Checker verifies that your machine meets IaaS installation requirements.
4 Specify Server and Account Settings
The vRealize Automation system administrator specifies server and account settings for the
Windows installation server and selects a SQL database server instance and authentication method.
5 Specify Managers and Agents
The minimum installation installs the required Distributed Execution Managers and the default
vSphere proxy agent. The system administrator can install additional proxy agents (XenServer, or
Hyper-V, for example) after installation using the custom installer.
6 Register the IaaS Components
The system administrator installs the IaaS certificate and registers the IaaS components with the
SSO.
7 Finish the Installation
The system administrator finishes the IaaS installation.
Download the IaaS Installer
A system administrator downloads the installer to a Windows 2008 or Windows 2012 physical or virtual
machine.
If you see certificate warnings during this process, continue past them to finish the installation.
Prerequisites
n
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 or later must be installed on the IaaS installation machine. You can
download the .NET installer from the installer Web page.
n
If you are using Internet Explorer for the download, verify that Enhanced Security Configuration is not
enabled. See res://iesetup.dll/SoftAdmin.htm.
