IaaS Web Service and Model Manager Server Requirements
Your environment must meet software and conguration prerequisites that support installation of the IaaS
server components.
Environment and Database Requirements for IaaS
Your host conguration and MS SQL database must meet the following requirements.
Table 2‑2. IaaS Requirements
Area Requirements
Host Conguration The following components must be installed on the host before installing
IaaS:
n
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later.
n
Microsoft PowerShell 2.0 (included with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
and later) or Microsoft PowerShell 3.0 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
n
Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.5.
n
Java must be installed on the machine running the primary Web
component to support deployment of the MS SQL database during
installation.
Microsoft SQL Database Requirements The SQL database can reside on one of your IaaS Windows servers, or a
separate host.
If the SQL database is on one of your IaaS Windows servers, congure the
following Java requirements.
n
Install 64-bit Java 1.8 or later. Do not use 32-bit.
n
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the Java installation folder.
n
Verify that %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe is available.
Microsoft Internet Information Services Requirements
Congure Internet Information Services (IIS) to meet the following requirements.
In addition to the conguration seings, avoid hosting additional Web sites in IIS on the IaaS Web server
host. vRealize Automation sets the binding on its communication port to all unassigned IP addresses,
making no additional bindings possible. The default vRealize Automation communication port is 443.
