Editing a vApp's Authoring Settings
The Authoring area of the Edit vApp Settings dialog box is where you can supply some addi-
tional metadata about the vApp, such as product name, product version, vendor name, and ven-
dor URL. The values supplied here might be prepopulated, if you have a vApp that you received
from a vendor, or you might populate these values yourself. Either way, the values set here show
up on the Details area of the Summary tab on the vApp. Figure 10.21 shows a vApp's metadata
as it appears in the vSphere Web Client.
Editing a vApp's Power Settings
One of the value propositions of a vApp is that you can power on or power off all the VMs in
a vApp, in the correct order, in one step. We'll show you how that's done in just a moment—
although you probably have already i gured it out—but i rst we want to cover the vApp's power
settings.
The Start Order section of the Edit vApp Settings dialog box is where you can set the startup
order of the VMs and specify how much time will elapse between VMs booting up. Likewise,
this is where you can set the shutdown action and timing.
