Adding applications to virtual disks
You can associate the type of application using a virtual disk so that the application is displayed with
the virtual disk properties in the Application Type display field.
NOTE:
The application type is a special type of comment and does not imply any changes to the properties
of the virtual disk. Use application type names that are appropriate for the organization (for example,
financial database, SQL, Oracle, and so on).
Adding an application to the applications list
The application types that you can set per virtual disk are stored in a list, to which you can add new
application types if necessary.
To add an application to the application list:
1. From the Tools menu, select Options > Virtual Disk’s Application. The virtual disk’s Application
dialog box appears.
2. Click Add New. The VSM dialog box appears.
3. In the Application Type field, enter the application type name that you want to add.
4. Click OK. The VSM dialog box closes and the application type you added is added to the
applications list.
5. Click OK. The virtual disk’s Application dialog box closes.
