Create a vApp in the vSphere Client

After you create a datacenter and add a clustered host enabled with DRS or a standalone host to your vCenter Server system, you can create a vApp.

You can create a vApp under the following conditions.

■	A standalone host is selected in the inventory that is running ESX 3.0 or greater.
■	A cluster enabled with DRS is selected in the inventory.

You can create vApps on folders, standalone hosts, resource pools, clusters enabled with DRS, and within other vApps.

2	Allocate vApp Resources You can allocate CPU and memory resources for the new vApp using shares, reservations, and limits.
3	Complete the vApp Creation Before you deploy the vApp, you can review the vApp settings.
