Cannot select ”Extra large” for VCF Operations appliance size when using VCF Installer 9.1

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager / VCF Installer

Issue/Introduction

When using VCF Installer 9.1, there is no UI to select VCF Operations appliance size to set it "Extra large".

During the initial wizard, VCF Installer offers Size Options for the entire VCF environment, but there is no UI to specify VCF Operations to "Extra large" including in the latter wizard.

Environment

VCF Installer 9.1

Cause

This is expected behavior. Currently, UI doesn't provide an option to select VCF Operations appliance size individually.

Resolution

Specify the VCF Operations appliance size manually following by the below steps:

1. Proceed the VCF Installer wizard until [Validate & Deploy].
2. Click [DOWNLOAD JSON SPEC].
3. Manually edit the json file and make vcfOperationsSpec -> applianceSize to xlarge
   

   :::
       "vcfOperationsSpec": {
           "applianceSize": "xlarge",
   :::

4. Cancel the wizard once.
5. If [Deployment Wizard In Progress] is displayed, click [Cancel progress].
6. Click [Deploy using JSON spec] and upload the modified json file.
7. In the [Summary] -> [VCF Management], confirm is Operations Appliance Size becomes Extra Large.
8. Click [NEXT], execute validation and proceed the deployment.
