. The suggested installation
order is as follows:- VMware Smart AssuranceBroker. (The broker is normally installed first, making it easier for the other components to connect to each other.)
- UnderlyingDomain Manager(IP Availability Manager,IP Performance Manager)
- VMware Smart AssuranceAdapters

- Global ConsoleAfter theGlobal Manageris installed and configured, you can install the components that use theGlobal Manageras a server, such as theGlobal Console.To ease the troubleshooting of initial deployment, install more limited segments of the deployment first, such as anIP Availability Managerand thenGlobal Manager. Always validate a segment before installing the next segment.By default, allVMware Smart Assuranceproducts are installed as services and are started immediately after installation. During deployment, you should set the services to start manually until your installation and validation are complete.
