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.

  • Click next on the getting started page.
  • Set the admin account password, click next and finish.


  • Accept EULA.
  • Enter a product key or you can continue in evaluation mode.
  • Click next and finish.

Hope it was useful. Cheers!
