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.
