Configure SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group
You must make configuration changes if you set up SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group (AAG) after
installing vRealize Automation.
When setting up SQL AAG after installation, follow the steps in VMware Knowledge Base article 2074607
to configure vRealize Automation with the AAG listener FQDN as the SQL Server host.
Configure Access to the Default Tenant
You must grant your team access rights to the default tenant before they can begin configuring
vRealize Automation.
The default tenant is automatically created when you configure single sign-on in the installation wizard.
You cannot edit the tenant details, such as the name or URL token, but you can create new local users
and appoint additional tenant or IaaS administrators at any time.
Procedure
1 Log in to vRealize Automation as the administrator of the default tenant.
a Navigate to the vRealize Automation product interface.
https://vrealize-automation-FQDN/vcac
b Log in with the user name administrator and the password you defined for this user when you
configured SSO.
2 Select Administration > Tenants.
3 Click the name of the default tenant, vsphere.local.
4 Click the Local users tab.
5 Create local user accounts for the vRealize Automation default tenant.
Local users are tenant-specific and can only access the tenant in which you created them.
a Click the Add (+) icon.
b Enter details for the user responsible for administering your infrastructure.
