Set Storage and Runtime Leases for a vApp
Leases provide a level of control over the storage and compute resources allocated to the virtual machines in
your virtual data centers. You configure lease times at the vApp level.
Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand displays information about the vApp that contains each virtual machine;
however, you do not select or manage vApps in Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand. You manage vApps by
using vCloud Director. A vApp consists of one or more virtual machines that communicate over a network
and use resources and services in a deployed environment. A vApp can contain multiple virtual machines.
By configuring a lease for a vApp, you can specify the maximum amount of time that the virtual machines
contained in the vApp can run and the amount of time that Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand stores the
template for that vApp.
For more information about managing leases using vCloud Director, see Understanding Leases in the
vCloud Director User's Guide.
For more information about vApps, see “vApp Overview,” on page 30.
Prerequisites
You have the required permission to manage the virtual machine. If you are a member of the End User role,
you are the virtual machine owner or you are a Virtual Infrastructure Administrator. The owner of the
virtual machine is the user who created the virtual machine or who was transferred ownership of the virtual
machine.
Procedure
1 From the Virtual Machines tab, click the link for the virtual machine for which you want to configure
leases.
The Settings tab for the virtual machine appears.
2 Click Manage in vCloud Director.
vCloud Director opens in a new browser tab and the Virtual Machines tab in the My Cloud page
appears.
