InstallAnywhere 2013
Edition: Virtual appliance support is available in InstallAnywhere Premier Edition with Cloud Pack.
A virtual appliance that is configured and built in InstallAnywhere can be deployed to a single server or a group of servers. One example of a multi-tier architecture that can be set up as a virtual appliance is a shopping Web site. The site may consist of various tiers: the Web site tier, the database tier, and one or more application tiers. Each tier depends on the other tiers in various ways. For example, the application tier needs to be able to write to and read from the databases in the database tier. The Web tier needs to be able to contact the application tier. InstallAnywhere lets you configure the settings for each of these tiers; when the virtual appliance is deployed to the cloud, the settings are configured in each of the tiers as needed.
To define one or more tiers and to configure their settings, use the VM Configuration tab in the Build Appliances view on the Build page. This tab is also where you configure information such as the operating system that you want to be present on your VMs, the installers that need to be run on those VMs, and more.
This section of the documentation describes how to configure tiers and select VMs for your virtual appliance.
