Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
SDDC Manager Version 3.10.x automates the upgrade and deployment of vRealize Suite 7, detailed bill of materials (BOM) can be found in the release notes for each Cloud Foundation release. Newer versions of SDDC Manager 4.x added support for vRealize Suite 2019 and later. Follow the complete procedure below to disassociate vRealize products from SDDC Manager 3.x and complete upgrading to vRealize Suite 2019 before moving from VCF 3.x to VCF 4.x. After completing the VCF4 transition you can ingest vRealize Suite 2019 products back into SDDC Manager 4.x.

- Pre-requisites for Workspace ONE Access
- Pre-requisites for vRealize Automation 8.2
Resolution
- Disassociate the vRealize Suite 7.x Products from SDDC Manager by following KB81718
- Migrate vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager to 8.2
- Configure User Access in vSphere for Integration with vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.2
- Follow this guide to migrate from vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 2.1 to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.2.
Important: A single-node Workspace One Access instance will be deployed as part of this process. At Step 11 of the Easy Installer wizard - Identity Manager Configuration, select Install New VMware Identity Manager. For IP Address and Hostname provide the values reserved for the Primary node of the cross-region Workspace ONE Access cluster (wsa01svr01a.rainpole.local / 192.168.11.61 from the example table above).
- Upgrade vRealize Log Insight and vRealize Operations Manager to 8.2
Important: For vRealize Log Insight, there is no direct upgrade path from 4.8 to 8.2. You must upgrade vRealize Log Insight from 4.8 to 8.1.1 before upgrading to 8.2. For vRealize Operations Manager, you can upgrade directly from 7.5 to 8.2.
-
- Upload and Map Product Upgrade Binaries to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager. This can be done by either registering vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager with Customer Connect or, if external access is restricted on the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager appliance, uploading and mapping the binaries to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager manually.
- Use vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager to upgrade vRealize Log Insight and vRealize Operations Manager
Important: If vRealize Operations Manager 7.x or vRealize Automation 7.x were deployed using SDDC Manager, an NSX-V Edge Services Gateway for Load-Balancing vRealize Suite products is already available. In this case you configure the Workspace ONE Access Load Balancer on the vrealize-edge Edge Services Gateway (corresponding to sfo01m01lb01 in the guide above). The interface you configure the Load Balancer on is named mgmt-vnic-vrealize-edge (corresponds to the OneArmLB interface in the guide above).
If you do not have vRealize Operations Manager 7.x or vRealize Automation 7.x in your environment, you will need to
