Clone a vApp
Cloning a vApp is similar to cloning a virtual machine.
Prerequisites
To clone a vApp, the vSphere Client must be connected to the vCenter Server system.
A host must be selected in the inventory that is running ESX 3.0 or greater, or a DRS-enabled cluster.
Procedure
1 Select the vApp in the inventory.
2 Select Inventory > vApp > Clone
Complete each page in Clone vApp the wizard.
3 Select the vApp destination and click Next.
4 Specify a Host and click Next.
N
OTE
This step is only available if you select a cluster that is in DRS manual mode.
5 Name the vApp and click Next.
6 Select a datastore and click Next.
7 (Optional) Select a network and click Next.
8 Complete the vApp clone.
Power On a vApp
Each application within the service will be powered on according to how the startup order is set.
When powering on a vApp within a DRS cluster in manual mode, no DRS recommendations are generated
for virtual machine placements. The power on operation performs as if DRS is run in a semi-automatic or
automatic mode for the initial placements of the virtual machines. This does not affect VMotion
recommendations. Recommendations for individual powering on and powering off of virtual machines are
also generated for vApps that are running.
Procedure
u
In the Summary page for the service, click Power On.
If a delay is set in the start up settings, the vApp waits for the set length of time before powering up that
virtual machine.
In the Summary tab, the status indicates when the vApp has started and is available. Links to the product and
vendor Web sites are also found under General.
