Using the Installation Wizard for Enterprise Deployments
You can tailor your enterprise deployment to the needs of your organization. An enterprise deployment can
consist of distributed components or high-availability deployments congured with load balancers.
Enterprise deployments are designed for more complex installation structures with distributed and
redundant components and generally include load balancers. Installation of IaaS components is optional
with either type of deployment.
For load-balanced deployments, multiple active Web server instances and vRealize Automation appliance
appliances cause the installation to fail. Only a single Web server instance and a single vRealize Automation
appliance should be active during the installation.
Run the Installation Wizard for an Enterprise Deployment
Enterprise deployments are used for production environment. You can use the Installation Wizard to deploy
a distributed installation or a distributed installation with load balancers for high availability and failover.
If you install a distributed installation with load balancers for high availability and failover, notify the team
responsible for conguring your vRealize Automation environment. Your tenant administrators must
congure Directories Management for high availability when they congure the link to your Active
Directory.
