Creating Appliances › Move the Appliance to a Catalog

Move the Appliance to a Catalog

If you do not need to create multiple instances of the appliance in your current application or in general, you may skip this section and may leave the appliance as a singleton in your application. If you want to create multiple instances, however, move it to the catalog.

To move the appliance to the catalog

1. Log in on your appliance and clean up any unnecessary files from the class volume (logs, SSH keys, bash and mysql history, and so on).
2. Log out and stop the application.
3. In the editor, select the catalog that you want to put the appliance. For example, the global catalog (global) or the application-specific catalog (catalog).
4. Drag the (singleton) appliance into the catalog.
5. Confirm when asked if it is OK to save the application.

   The new appliance is added to the catalog. Now you can instantiate the appliance in your application(s).

6. If the move to catalog fails saying that the common volumes of an appliance must be read-only and shared, open the Modify dialog over the singleton appliance.

   From the Volumes tab, verify that all volumes of type 'Common' (usually named usr) are marked as read-only and shared. This verification lets CA 3Tera AppLogic share the common volume between all instances of the appliance. If you do not want this sharing to occur, change the volume type to instantiable. Close the Modify dialog and try to move the appliance to the catalog again.
