VMware vRealize Operations Manager – Planning

Release date: November 21st 2018

Welcome to my vRealize Operations Manager series, how I setup “vRops” in my LAB. In this session I will describe how I did the planning-phase.VMware has made an excellent documentation about how to install/configure VMware vRealize Operations Manager here:

vRealize Operations Manager vApp Deployment Guide

Using this great guide, I made my plans based on these questions:

• IP-address, subnet, gateway, dns-servers?
• FQDN for my virtual machine?
• Virtual Machine name?
• Virtual Machine Folder?
• Compute source?
• Configuration size?
• Virtual Machine Disk format?
• Destination Network?
• vCenter Username and Role assignment?

When all these questions were answered and documented, I could proceed with preparations for my VMware vRealize Operations Manager Install, posted here: VMware vRealize Operations Manager Prepare
