Some time ago I described the installation process of VMware Identity Manager 3.3.0 with vRealize Lifecycle Manager 2.1 using Ansible (link here). That time the only possible option to install vIDM with vRSLCM was a single node with internal PostgresSQL database. vRSLCM 2.x does not perform cluster-based installations of VMware Identity Manager. Fortunately it has […]
Two weeks ago VCF 4.3.1 has been released and few hours later I had an opportunity to test upgrade procedure. In this post I will show you how to upgrade VCF software, NSX-T, vCenter, ESXi hosts and vRealize Suite components if you have vRealize Suite deployed in your environment. It’s a pretty straight forward process. […]
