Supportability of using a single vIDM appliance with multiple Aria Suite Lifecycle instances

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

Clarification is required to determine whether a single VMware Identity Manager (vIDM) appliance can be integrated with multiple VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle (vRLCM) instances across distinct regional environments to reduce platform overhead.

Environment

• VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle (formerly vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager) 8.18.x
• VMware Identity Manager (Workspace ONE Access) 3.3.7

Resolution

Integrating a single, shared VMware Identity Manager (vIDM) appliance with multiple distinct VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle (vRLCM) instances is an unsupported configuration.

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle requires a strict 1:1 management relationship with its vIDM instance. Each separate VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle deployment must be paired with its own dedicated VMware Identity Manager appliance to ensure supported lifecycle management, upgrade paths, and authentication dependencies.
