The Catalog View of personas provides a list of all of the possible server configurations that have been defined, such as the BEA WebLogic application servers used in out VSM Labs test scenario. In addition, the persona catalog includes templates as gold masters to define new personas. Typically, these templates will include configuration information for the OS and the application software, such as our template for an Apache web server. The only configuration data needed to activate the template as a persona can be selected from catalogs of virtual SAN and LAN connections.
