Process Flow
Service Ports
Chances are very good that you'll be challenged by the Windows Firewall. Make sure that it's either disabled, or the appropriate ports are opened.
SSO Administrator Credentials
The default user (admin@System-Domain) is not changeable at installation, and you'd better keep the password you set well-documented. This is required when installing other dependent services.
JDBC requires fixed ports
The SSO service uses the JDBC library for connectivity to Microsoft SQL. JDBC is ignorant of named instances, dynamic ports and the use of the SQL Browser or SSRP. Before trying to install SSO, you must go into the SQL Server Configuration Manager and configure a static port. If there's only one SQL instance on the host, you can use the default (1433), otherwise, pick something out of the air."Dynamic Ports" is blank; "TCP Port" is set to the static port you desire. |
SSO requires SQL Authentication
A good sign that SQL Auth is not enabled for the server. |
Although the installer makes it look like you can install the services and use Windows Authentication, the service actually uses SQL Auth. This is also a side-effect of using JDBC libraries instead of native Windows ODBC or ADO libraries.
You can install with Windows Auth, but the service can't use it for DB logon. |
Changes in 5.1.0a
Looks like VMware took some information to heart on broken installs and modified the SSO install dialog for database connectivity:
JDBC Connection for 5.1.0a SSO Installation |
SSO Service is Java
Like other services in the vCenter suite, SSO is a Java executable. You will want to review the heap size settings to be sure that it's reserving enough space to be useful, but not so much that it's wasteful. The default is 1024MB and can be adjusted by editing the "wrapper.java.additional.9" value in SSOServer\conf\wrapper.conf
Original memory: 1024MB; Running memory: 384MB |
Inventory Service Service is Java
Like other services in the vCenter suite, Inventory Service (IS) is a Java executable. Although the installer gives you three choices for the heap size settings, you might want to tweak that value a little to be sure that it's reserving enough space to be useful, but not so much that it's wasteful. The value can be adjusted by editing the "wrapper.java.maxmemory" value in Inventory Service\conf\wrapper.conf

vCenter Database
Create the 64-bit Server DSN for the vCenter Server database connection before you start the installation. In order to do that, you'll have to create a blank database, too, or you can't set the DSN to connect to the right database by default.
Another gotcha: Using the built-in DOMAIN\Administrator account could backfire on you. Recommended practice, naturally, is to use a service account; however, you've got to run the installer from the account you want for the services to run under if you also want to use Windows Auth. That requires either logging in as that user, or running the installer with the "runas" utility.
