Powering off a vApp powers off all the virtual machines in the vApp. To perform certain actions, such as adding a vApp to a catalog, copying it, or moving it to another VDC, first you must power off the vApp.

Prerequisites

Verify the vApp is powered on.

Procedure

  1. On the Virtual Data Center dashboard screen, click the card of the VDC you want to explore, and from the secondary left panel, select vApps.
  2. Click Card Icon to view the vApps in a card view.
  3. From the Actions menu of the vApp you want to stop, select Power Off.
  4. Click OK.

Results

All virtual machines in the vApp and the vApp itself are powered off.
