Install vFabric Postgres on vCloud Hybrid Service
You can install vFabric Postgres on vCloud Hybrid Service.
When you deploy vFabric Postgres using vCloud Hybrid Service, you create a vApp template. A vApp
template is a virtual machine image that is loaded with an operating system, applications, and data. These
templates ensure that virtual machines are consistently configured across an entire organization.
Prerequisites
n
Download the ZIP file containing the vFabric Postgres OVF for use with vCloud Hybrid Service from
the VMware download site. Unzip the OVF file to your local disk drive.
n
Verify that you have end user or virtual infrastructure administrator privileges. For information on
vCloud Hybrid Service, see vCloud Hybrid Service User's Guide.
Procedure
1 Sign in to the vCloud Hybrid Service console.
2 In Virtual Machines, click Add Virtual Machine.
3 Select a virtual data center to contain the virtual machine.
The name of each available virtual data center and its available resources is displayed.
4 Click Create My Virtual Machine from Scratch at the bottom of the Select Template dialog box.
You are taken directly to the vApp Quick Access page in vCloud Director.
5 From the vCloud Director Home page, click Add vApp and follow the steps to create and configure the
vApp template and its virtual machines.
To learn how to create a vApp for your vFabric Postgres deployment, see "Create a New vApp" in the
vCloud Hybrid Service User's Guide.
6 When you have successfully created the vApp and shared the catalog, vCloud Hybrid Service users can
create new virtual machines from the template in the My Templates section.
7 Power-on the vFabric Postgres virtual machine.
The first time you power-on the vFabric Postgres virtual machine, you must use the vCloud Director
user interface instead of the vCloud Hybrid Service user interface. There after you can use the vCloud
Hybrid Service user interface to start the vFabric Postgres virtual machine.
