Procedure
1 Select the vSphere Deploy OVF Template option.
2 Enter the path to the vRealize Automation appliance .ovf or .ova file.
3 Review the template details.
4 Read and accept the end user license agreement.
5 Enter an appliance name and inventory location.
When you deploy appliances, use a different name for each one, and do not include non-
alphanumeric characters such as underscores (_) in names.
6 Select the host and cluster in which the appliance will reside.
7 Select the resource pool in which the appliance will reside.
8 Select the storage that will host the appliance.
9 Select a disk format.
Thick formats improve performance, and thin formats save storage space.
Format does not affect appliance disk size. If an appliance needs more space for data, add disk by
using vSphere after deploying.
10 From the drop-down menu, select a Destination Network.
11 Complete the appliance properties.
a Enter and confirm a root password.
The root account credentials log you in to the browser-based administration interface hosted by
the appliance, or the appliance operating system command line console.
b Select whether or not to allow remote SSH connections to the command line console.
Disabling SSH is more secure but requires that you access the console directly in vSphere
instead of through a separate terminal client.
