VDS_RHEL63 and VDS64_RHEL63 are dedicated virtual server applications. They are designed to be deployed as standalone applications with no catalog parts.
The VDS applications provide hosting providers a quick and easy way to offer a dedicated server offering on the CA AppLogic grid. Depending on your resource needs, the VDS applications can scale from approximately one twentieth of a physical server to a full physical server.
VDS applications include a basic build environment with GCC, if available. With these VDSs, you can install any RHEL package using yum or rpm while running as root user.
The VDS applications configure themselves through properties on first boot. The initial user is created and the root password is placed in a file, /home/<user>/su.txt. You can reset the VDS applications to their default properties by deleting /appliance/passwd.stamp from the appliance and restarting the application.

The VDS is used by hosting providers to offer dedicated servers using AppLogic without the need for any other third party software or licenses.
The VDS is distributed only as an application containing a single instance of the appliance and does not reside in any catalogs.
By way of example, provisioning the VDS can be done by running a single command that can be automated from the provider's portal.
app provision VDS_RHEL63 ExampleClient \
user=Exampleuser user_pw=abcd1234 root_pw=acbde12345 \
hostname=mydomain.com dns1=fe80::5 dns2=209.101.1.2 \
cpu.dflt=0.50 mem.dflt=1G VDS_RHEL63.boot.size=10G
The /appliance directory must remain intact. Any changes to any files in this directory can cause the appliance to stop working.
The /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file should not be modified. It will be overwritten by the build system at runtime.
In case of application startup failure, the following errors may be logged to the system log:

VDS_RHEL63 and VDS64_RHEL63 applications do not use any open source packages in addition to those of their base Red Hat releases.
