Application
The Application component is congured on top of virtual resources in ASM. However, an application component can be installed on
a physical server that has a non-ESXi OS and non-Hyper-V OS.
ASM provisions multiple applications for deployment.
After selecting Application component on the template builder page, perform the following actions:
1. In the Application Component dialog box, from the Select a Component drop-down list, select the application that you want
to congure on the virtual machines.
2. In the # of Instances box, enter the number of application instances.
3. Under Related Components, select the components that you want to map with the application instance. For more information
about valid component combinations that can be mapped together in a template, see Component Combinations in Templates
4. Click Continue.
Based on your application select, the page displays the application properties for you to congure.
5. Under Application Settings, specify the application properties.
See Application Components Settings.
