vRealize Operations Manager 7.5 - Part1 - Installation

For evaluation, you can download a trial version of vROps 7.5.

Installation

Log in to VCSA.
Select an ESXi host and Deploy OVF Template.
Browse and select the vROps 7.5 OVA file.
Provide a name and select a location.
Select a host and click next.

Now, if you are using a Chrome browser and if you haven't opened your VCSA with FQDN name, you might face the below error, "Transfer failed: The OVF descriptor is not available".

A workaround for the above issue is to open and login VCSA with FQDN using Firefox browser.

Perform the above same steps and this time you will not get the above error.

Accept the license agreements.
Select a deployment configuration.

Select storage.

Select a destination network.
Provide time zone and network details (You can leave network properties blank if you have a DHCP server configured in the destination network selected in the above step). Click next and finish.
Once the OVF template deployment is completed you can power on the VM.
Open the console to view installation progress. It will take a few minutes.

Once the installation is complete you will get the console screen as below. To proceed to the next stage of the installation process open the IP in a web browser.

You will get the below options. As it is a fresh installation I prefer to go with Express Installation as it is the fastest way to deploy it with minimal inputs.
