Save VApp Configurations as Specs

To create a virtual appliance spec to save a configuration:

1. Go to Virtual datacenters → Open the virtual appliance
2. Go to the virtual appliance options menu → select Create new spec
3. Enter spec details
4. Click Accept

The platform will create the new spec for your tenant. This spec will be the default, but an administrator can change or remove the default.

For more details see GUI Create new spec

When designing a virtual appliance for use in more than one location, please consider the following differences between private and public cloud:

• Private cloud datacenters allow multiple disk templates and additional disks. In public cloud, the platform may support only a single disk or use all disks
• Public networks in private cloud will be translated to floating IPs in public cloud and vice versa
• A range of IP addresses may be reserved by an SDN system or the cloud provider
• The number of NICs allowed or required per VM may vary
• Firewall and load balancer configurations may differ
