Installing VCM
After you perform the system prerequisite tasks and configure your installation configuration, understand
the components to select during VCM installation, enable DCOMξ ±and the required ports, then use the
installation image to start Installation Manager and install the appropriate VCM components on the
physical and virtual machines in your installation configuration.
Single-Tier Configuration
For a single-tier VCM installation, run Installation Manager once, on the single-tier server.
Select Typical Installer.
During the Installation Manager dialogs, select a SQL Server database instance that is installed on the local
system.
Two-Tier Split Configuration
For a two-tier split VCM installation, run Installation Manager once, on the Collector-Web server. Do not
run Installation Manager on the database server.
Select Typical Installer.
During the Installation Manager dialogs, select a SQL Server database instance on another system, one that
the local system can connect to.
Three-Tier Split Configuration
For a three-tier split VCM installation, run Installation Manager twice, first on the Web server, then the
Collector server. Do not run Installation Manager on the database server.
Only Advanced Installer is supported for Three-tier Split configuration.
