Installing and Configuring vRealize
Operations for Horizon
3
You install and configure vRealize Operations for Horizon software components on machines in
your vRealize Operations Manager and Horizon environments.
Note vRealize Operations for Horizon 6.7 no longer includes a standalone installer for the
desktop agent. You must install the desktop agent when you install Horizon Agent. To do so,
select vRealize Operations Desktop Agent on the Custom Setup page of the Horizon Agent
installation wizard. For more information, see "Install Horizon Agent on a Virtual Machine" in the
Setting Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 document.
The amount of time required to install and configure vRealize Operations for Horizon depends
on the number of desktop pools in your Horizon environment. The installation and configuration
process typically takes about an hour, excluding download time.
Prerequisites
n Verify that your environment meets product compatibility, hardware, and software
requirements. See Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation.
n Verify that VMware Horizon and vRealize Operations Manager are installed, running, and
upgraded to the desired version.
n Verify that a vCenter Adapter instance is configured for each vCenter Server instance in your

configurations or by IP address in both configurations.
