How to customize vApp?

[WillL]

Hi,

Created a new vApp from scratch which includes one VM of RHEL 5.5, then added to catalog, when a new vApp was created from the vApp template, VCD asked for hostname and network IP configuration? Is there way to customize resource allocation like CPU, memory, disk etc during vApp creation?

Thanks,

William

AFAIK:

vApp is a container for VMs. When we create a vApp we add VMs from vApp template or create a new VM then we specify computer name (hostname) and select network for each VM.

The choice of CPU, memory, disk etc is made for a VM.

Hope this helps.

I was expecting when creating vApp, it would allow to customize each VM within the vApp, it looks like we have to create the vApp first, then manually select each VM in order to customize resources like CPU, memory, disk.

That is indeed currently the only way of doing this.
