Identifying Different Virtual Appliances and VMs
InstallAnywhere 2021
The virtual appliances and the VMs within the virtual appliances are uniquely identified using the UUID and the version. It is important to define them uniquely so that this information can be used for maintaining the virtual appliance properly.
When you add a new appliance configuration to your project, InstallAnywhere automatically assigns it an alphanumeric string in the Appliance UUID setting; this setting is on the Appliance Configuration tab in the Build Appliances view of the Build page. The appliance UUID uniquely identifies the appliance. To generate a new ID, click the Generate UUID button next to the Appliance UUID setting.
Similarly, when you add a new VM tier to your project, InstallAnywhere automatically assigns it an alphanumeric string in the UUID of VM setting; this setting is on the VM Configuration tab in the Build Appliances view of the Build page. The appliance UUID uniquely identifies the VM. To generate a new ID, click the Generate UUID button next to the VM UUID setting.
