What to do next
Configure the VCM Collector components of the combined VCM Collector and Web server before you
install VCM. See "Configure the VCM Collector Components" on page 84.
Configure the VCM Collector Components
The combined VCM Collector and Web server contains the VCM software application, VCM services, and
the OS Provisioning Server. To prepare the VCM Collector components of the combined VCM Collector
and Web server for VCM installation, configure the required utilities.
In your two-tier split installation configuration, configure the Web server and VCM Collector components
on the same machine.
NOTE This procedure is required only if you did not install the complete set of Management Tools and
support components earlier.
