The official documentation for deploying the Aria Suite can be found here
First step is to download the bundle by going to sddc-manager -> Repository -> Bundle management. Look for VMware Software Install Bundle – vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.18.0-24029603
After the download is complete we can go to Administration -> VMware Aria Suite and a Deploy button should be available. If the deploy button is not available due to X-Region Application Virtual Network is not created error please follow the instructions found here:
Verify the Prerequisites and click on Deploy
Verify the network settings and click Next
Fill up the network and appliance settings and click Next
Review the summary and click Finish.
We can follow the progress by click on the Task on the bottom of the screen
This allows me to see the subtasks that are running
Once the deployment is complete we can open the Aria Suite Lifecycle by clicking on the Window icon link
Additionally towards the bottom of the page we can see the rest of the Aria Suite components that can be deployed.
We can then log in to the Aria Suite Lifecycle using vcfadmin@local with the credentials used during the deployment.
We can see that the deployment wizard also created a few configurations items.
We can now proceed with the deployment of the rest of the components. The deployments will be done from Aria Suite Lifecycle.
