Create a vApp From a vApp Template

You can create a new vApp based on a vApp template stored in a catalog to which you have access.

Only organization administrators and vApp authors can access vApp templates in public catalogs.

vApp users and above can access vApp templates in organization catalogs shared to them.

If the vApp template is based on an OVF file that includes OVF properties for customizing its virtual machines,

those properties are passed to the vApp. If any of those properties are user-configurable, you can specify the

values.

Procedure

1 Click My Cloud > vApps.

2 Click the Add vApp from Catalog button.

3 Select My organization's catalogs or Public catalogs from the drop-down menu.

4 Select a vApp template and click Next.

5 Type a name and optional description for the vApp.

6 Select a runtime and storage lease and click Next.

7 Select a virtual datacenter, configure the virtual machines in the vApp, and click Next.

8 Configure the custom properties, if any, and click Next.

9 Configure the networking options for the vApp and click Next.

10 Review the vApp summary information and click Finish.

vCloud Director creates a vApp in My Cloud.

Create a New vApp

If you don't want to create a vApp based on a vApp template, you can create a new vApp using virtual machines

from vApp templates, new virtual machines, or a combination of both.

You are at least a vApp author.

Procedure

1 Complete the vApp Profile on page 63

When you create a new vApp, you must provide some basic information.

2 Add Virtual Machines to the vApp on page 63

You can search your catalogs for virtual machines to add to the vApp or add new, blank virtual machines.

3 Configure the Virtual Machines on page 63

Select the virtual datacenter (vDC) in which this vApp is stored and runs when it's started. Name each

virtual machine and select the network to which you want it to connect. You can configure additional

properties for virtual machines after you complete the wizard.
