Oracle^® MiniCluster S7-2 Administration Guide

Create an APP VM Group (CLI)

Use this procedure to create and deploy App VMs.

The process of creating App VMs involves creating an App VM group. Each group can contain one or two App VMs. Once the groups are created, you deploy the groups, which makes the App VMs available for use.

For information about planning for VMs, see Planning to Create VMs. For details about the information you provide when creating App VMs, see App VM Group Parameters.

1. Log into the MCMU CLI as a primary admin, such as mcinstall.

   See Log in to the MCMU CLI.

2. Create the App VM group.
