Create a Virtual Machine, Resource Pool, or Child vApp Inside a vApp
You can create a virtual machine, resource pool, or child vApp within a vApp.
Procedure
1 Navigate to the vApp in which you want to create the object.
2 Click the vApp and select Actions.
3 Select an action from the submenu.
You can create a virtual machine, a resource pool, or a child vApp. You can also deploy an OVF
template to add the corresponding virtual machine or vApp to the selected vApp.
The new object appears as part of the vApp in the vApp inventory.
Add Virtual Machine or Child vApp to a vApp
You can add an object, such as a virtual machine or another vApp, to an existing vApp.
An existing virtual machine or another vApp that is not already contained inside the vApp can be moved
into the currently selected vApp.
Procedure
1 Display the object in the inventory.
2 Click and drag the object to the target object.
If the move is not permitted, red x icon appears, and the object is not moved.
3 Release the mouse button.
Edit vApp Settings
You can edit and configure several vApp settings, including startup order, resources, and custom
properties.
Procedure
1 Configure vApp Properties on page 168
If you define a property in the Authoring section of the Edit vApp Settings dialog, you can assign a
value to that property when you edit the vApp settings the next time. If you deployed the vApp from
an OVF, and properties were predefined in that OVF, you might be able to edit those properties as
well.
2 Configure vApp CPU and Memory Resources on page 169
You can configure the CPU and memory resource allocation for the vApp.
3 View Unrecognized OVF Sections on page 169
If your vApp is based on an OVF file that was not created in the vSphere Web Client, it might include
some configuration information that is not recognized by vCenter Server. You can view the
information in the Edit vApp Settings dialog.
4 Configure vApp IP Allocation Policy on page 170
If your vApp is set up to allow it, and if you have the required privileges, you can edit how IP
addresses are allocated for the vApp.
