INSTALL VCENTER SSO
0 Comments
You can install vCenter SSO using the VMware vCenter Installer. There are two installation options:
1. use the Simple Install option to deploy the basic mode. This option installs vCenter SSO, vCenter Server, vSphere Web Client and vCenter Inventory Service on the same host and it is appropriate for most deployments. The Simple Install method is explained here.
2. use the Custom Install option to install the multisite or HA mode. This option enables you to install vCenter SSO separately from vCenter Server, vCenter Inventory Service or vSphere Web Client. This is often recommended for medium to large environments.
In this section we will describe how to install vCenter SSO using the Custom Install option.
