vRealize Automation 8.1 P3 deploy.sh is failing with Error: cannot connect to Tiller

Deploying vRealize Automation 8.1 P3 fails at the "checking helm version" step with the error: cannot connect to Tiller.
This issue occurs because the tiller is running on a single vRA node in the case of vRA HA. However, if the deploy.sh is run from a node different than the tiller node, the helm requests will timeout and the deploy.sh will fail.
Workaround

Download GZ • 2KB
On only one of the vRA nodes, upload the "2672731-add-tiller-proxy.tar.gz" file in "/root"
Run this command
tar -xvf 2672731-add-tiller-proxy.tar.gz && chmod a+x 2672731-add-tiller-proxy.sh && ./2672731-add-tiller-proxy.sh && rm 2672731-add-tiller-proxy.*
Run the "helm ls" command from all vRA nodes to confirm that helm can be reached from all vRA nodes
