We are excited to introduce a new virtual deployment option in the recent RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.1 release which makes it easier to deploy our solution in a VMWare virtualization environment!

Provided as an OVA file, all the neccessary componets are supplied to connect your RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle application to an existing database instance. Using the supplied configuration wizard, which prompts and ensures that all the necessary configurations are set, customers can quickly stand up the RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle application.

For more information and to view an example installation and setup, please refer to the following video tutorial:

Is there any plan for making OVA for Software Appliance with RSA supplied DB?

  Not at this time, it may be considered in the future. The current recommendation is to deploy the database component (when supplied by RSA as part of the software bundle) on a hardware configuration, especially for production based instances. While the database component ‘could’ be installed in a virtual environment; a number of settings, parameters, tuning guidelines and testing would need to be vetted out and documented to ensure acceptable and consistent performance and scalability.

    Hi Aaron, the video references an Oracle DB or "Database Installation Kit" as a pre-req, but I have not found any documentation on the latter. Can you please advise as to what this is? We have a customer moving off of the hardware appliances and are trying to avoid having to purchase Oracle licenses for the remote database. Is this possible with the RSA-supplied license? Is this what the "Kit" is used for?
    
    Thanks,
    Justin

      The OVA installation's pre-requisite is that a database (supported Oracle DB) is in place, this can either be supplied by the customer or is available if the customer purchased the Software Bundle deployment model, which is the RSA supplied database for IGL.

Hi Aaron Beaudoin,

Is the OS (SLES 12 sp 2) which comes with the OVA supported by RSA (via Appliance Updater) or should it be registered and patched by the client?

Thank you,

Razvan

The RSA IGL Appliance Updater should be used to apply updates to the IGL OVA.
Thanks
