Upload an OVF Package from a URL to a Library Item

You can upload an OVF package from a Web server to a library item.

Note: If you try to upload a signed OVF package and it returns preview warnings, you must ignore the preview warnings to complete the upload.

Prerequisites

  • Created a new local content library or retrieve the desired existing content library.

Procedure

  1. Create an empty library item.
  2. Create an update session object.
  3. Create an AddSpec object to describe the properties and the upload location of the descriptor file of the OVF package.
  4. Link the AddSpec object to the update session.
    All files that are included in the OVF package are automatically uploaded.
  5. Complete the asynchronous transfer.
