Install a Backup Manager Service Component
The backup Manager Service provides redundancy and high availability, and may be started manually if the
active service stops.
Your IaaS deployment requires that only one Windows machine actively run the Manager Service. Machines
that provide the backup Manager Service must have the service stopped and congured to start manually.
I Simultaneously running an active Manager Service on multiple IaaS Windows servers makes
vRealize Automation unusable.
