Install an IaaS Website Component and Model Manager Data
The system administrator installs the Website component to provide access to infrastructure capabilities
in the vRealize Automation web console. You can install one or many instances of the Website
component, but you must configure Model Manager Data on the machine that hosts the first Website
component. You install Model Manager Data only once.
Prerequisites
n
Install the IaaS Database, see Choosing an IaaS Database Scenario.
n
If you already installed other IaaS components, know the database passphrase that you created.
n
If you are using load balancers in your environment, verify that they meet the configuration
requirements.
Procedure
1 Install the First IaaS Web Server Component
You install the IaaS Web server component to provide access to infrastructure capabilities in
vRealize Automation.
2 Configure Model Manager Data
You install the Model Manager component on the same machine that hosts the first Web server
component. You only install Model Manager Data once.
You can install additional Website components or install the Manager Service. See Install Additional IaaS
Web Server Components or Install the Active Manager Service.
Install the First IaaS Web Server Component
You install the IaaS Web server component to provide access to infrastructure capabilities in
vRealize Automation.
You can install multiple IaaS Web servers, but only the first one includes Model Manager Data.
Prerequisites
n
Create the IaaS Database Using the Installation Wizard.
n
Verify that the server meets the requirements in IaaS Windows Servers.
n
If you already installed other IaaS components, know the database passphrase that you created.
n
If you are using load balancers in your environment, verify that they meet the configuration
requirements.
Procedure
1 If using a load balancer, disable the other nodes under the load balancer, and verify that traffic is
directed to the node that you want.
In addition, disable load balancer health checks until all vRealize Automation components are
installed and configured.
