Today I’m gonna show you how to install following appliances:
- Lifecycle Manager
- Identity Manager

For the first step you need the iso file from VMware website, in my case it was vra-lcm-installer-19716706.iso

DNS server is quite important here, and you have to create a reverse lookup zone for ptr records and also register vRA and lifecycle manager and identity manager into it.

This record should already exist in your DNS server.

Here you configure a configuration admin user name, inorder to login to the environment for the first time.
