First step is to obtain the vRealize Operations Manager Appliance and install it via your VMware server.  Once the Appliance is uploaded and the installation is complete you will see the below screen on your VM.

Once you go to the URL you will find the Initial Setup screen.

I named my Cluster Node.  We can add additional nodes later.

Note that the login username is admin and not root.

For a time you will see your items in a grey color while the information is aggregated.
