Configurations View

This view is used to create and manage the software applications that are to be installed on a Cluster Setup.

Once a configuration has been created, it can be saved as a template to later be reused as needed to create:

• A cluster instance in the Clusters View. This Configuration template defines the application-specific parameters while remaining independent of the specific details required for the Cluster’s Network and Host Layout. It is later used by the Riedel Software Manager to deploy the selected applications on the Hosts.

• Another Configuration template.
