Managing vApp and vApp
Component Machines 9
A machine owner can perform tasks on a provisioned vApp machine.
A fabric administrator or business group owner can change the owner of a component machine. This
updates the owner for all component machines in the vApp.
Leases are controlled at the parent level, which affects the component machines. Lease operations such
as change, extend, and expire are not available for individual component machines.
For more information about managing machines, see Tenant Administration.

Determining vApp Status
A machine owner or fabric administrator can determine if a machine is powered on or off.
A vApp has a status of on or off, and is considered healthy if its components are powered on. When one
or more component machines are powered off, the vApp is considered unhealthy and its status is set to
off. The vApp status is updated based on the power state of its component machines.
The vApp machine list displays the name, status, platform type, and description of each vApp. It also
displays their expiration and destruction dates. Additional columns can be displayed.
Connect Remotely to a Virtual Machine
A machine owner, tenant administrator, or business group manager can connect remotely to a virtual
machine from the vRealize Automation console.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a machine owner, tenant administrator, or business
group manager.
n
