10.5 Configuring Advanced PlateSpin Settings for vCloud

Some aspects of your PlateSpin Server behavior is controlled by configuration parameters that you set on a PlateSpin Configuration web page residing your PlateSpin Server host (at https:// Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/).

10.5.1 Configuring vCloud vApp Template Name Used for Replication Environment

The VCloudAppTemplateName PlateSpin Configuration parameter lets you configure the name of the vApp template used for the Replication Environment during vCloud replications. By default, the value of this parameter is PlateSpin Replication Environment. However, if you have edited the name of the vApp Template to which you uploaded the OVF PlateSpin package, then you must set the value of the VCloudAppTemplateName parameter to the new name of the vApp Template.

10.5.2 Retaining the Cloud Resources For Troubleshooting Migration Errors

When an error occurs during a migration, cloud resources are either deleted or retained based on the setting for the LeaveCloudResourcesOnErrorparameter in PlateSpin Configuration.

By default, this parameter is set to False and PlateSpin deletes the target VM and its associated resources if there is an error during migration. If you need PlateSpin to retain these resources for troubleshooting and do not want to delete them, set the LeaveCloudResourcesOnErrorsetting to True.

10.5.3 Setting the PlateSpin Replication Environment Password in Clear Text

By default, the password required to access the PlateSpin Replication Environment is encrypted. To access the PlateSpin Replication Environment for troubleshooting replication failures, set a password to override its default value. To set a password, edit the value of the vCloudReplicationEnvironmentPassword setting. You can then access the PlateSpin Replication Environment as a root user with the newly set password.
