I&#8217;d decided to take some time away from writing in order to focus on my role as a Solutions Engineer at VMware, and enhance my skillset by getting more acclimated and accustomed to some of the most utilized solutions by VMware customers.&nbsp; Almost one full year has passed since I last wrote anything, and with the new year underway, what better time to get back into writing some material for myself and the vCommunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this series, I&#8217;m going to cover how to easily deploy, and eventually update, each of the solutions that make up the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.vmware.com\/en\/vRealize-Suite\/2019\/rn\/VMware-vRealize-Suite-2019.html\">vRealize Suite 2019<\/a> set of products. The products that will be covered are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.vmware.com\/en\/VMware-vRealize-Suite-Lifecycle-Manager\/2019\/rn\/VMware-vRealize-Suite-Lifecycle-Manager-80-Release-Notes.html\">vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.x<\/a> with VMware Identity Manager 3.3.1 (required for the new vRealize Automation 8.x release)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.vmware.com\/en\/vRealize-Automation\/8.0\/rn\/vRealize-Automation-80-release-notes.html\">vRealize Automation 8.x<\/a> with embedded <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.vmware.com\/en\/vRealize-Orchestrator\/8.0\/rn\/VMware-vRealize-Orchestrator-80-Release-Notes.html\">vRealize Orchestrator 8.x<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.vmware.com\/en\/vRealize-Operations-Manager\/8.0\/rn\/vRealize-Operations-Manager-80.html\">vRealize Operations Manager 8.x<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.vmware.com\/en\/vRealize-Log-Insight\/8.0\/rn\/vRealize-Log-Insight-80.html\">vRealize Log Insight 8.x<\/a><\/li><li>vRealize Network Insight 5.x (Bonus)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If anyone has followed my <a href=\"https:\/\/ithinkvirtual.com\/2019\/01\/21\/nsx-t-home-lab-series\/\">NSX-T Home Lab Series<\/a> from last year, I again will be leveraging a nested lab environment to deploy each of these solutions since I already have these solutions installed and running in my physical lab infrastructure. I did, however, rebuild this nested lab environment since that series was written and only installed Site Recovery Manager which was used to demonstrate to a customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the purposes of this series, my nested lab consists of the following VMs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sophos XG (serves as my virtual router)<\/li><li>Synology DS918+ (NFS Storage for the nested lab)<\/li><li>4 ESXi VMs <ul><li>2 for Management<\/li><li>1 for Site A<\/li><li>1 for Site B <\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this series is finished up, I plan on revisiting my NSX-T series with a bunch of updated content since the entire deployment has changed since NSX-T 2.3.x (which is the version used in that series).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">vRealize Suite 2019 Series:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll continually add links in the series below as they&#8217;re published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ithinkvirtual.com\/2020\/01\/04\/vrealize-suite-2019-part-1-installing-vrealize-lifecycle-manager\">vRealize Suite 2019 &#8211; Part 1: Installing vRealize Lifecycle Manager<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ithinkvirtual.com\/2020\/01\/05\/vrealize-suite-2019-part-2-configuring-vmware-identity-manager\/\">vRezlize Suite 2019 &#8211; Part 2: Configuring VMware Identity Manager<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ithinkvirtual.com\/2020\/01\/17\/vrealize-suite-2019-part-3-installing-vrealize-automation\/\">vRealize Suite 2019 &#8211; Part 3: Installing vRealize Automation<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_1625\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"1625\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ithinkvirtual.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" border=0 data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intro Hello, and thank you for visiting my blog!
