The VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager automates the LCM of the vRealize Suite. It must be deployed before any vRealize Log Insight, vRealize Operations, or vRealize Automation components can be deployed. The vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager contains the functional elements that collaborate to orchestrate the LCM operations of the vRealize Suite environment. The vRLCM bundle must be downloaded using SDDC Manager from the VCF bundle repository. Once the bundle is downloaded, the vRLCM can be installed from the SDDC Manager vRealize Suite tab. If AVN was enabled, the vRLCM VM is deployed onto the xRegion NSX-T segment. If AVN was not enabled, the vRLCM VM must be deployed onto VLAN backed network using the procedure in the following VMware KB article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/80864.
