What to do next
“Install the Active Manager Service,” on page 87.
Install the Active Manager Service
The active Manager Service is a Windows service that coordinates communication between IaaS Distributed
Execution Managers, the database, agents, proxy agents, and SMTP.
Your IaaS deployment requires that only one Windows machine actively run the Manager Service. For
backup or high availability, you may deploy additional Windows machines where you manually start the
Manager Service if the active service stops.
I Simultaneously running an active Manager Service on multiple IaaS Windows servers makes
vRealize Automation unusable.
