If you configure
the virtual machine that runs an extension to use the vCenter Extension
vService, you can deploy the extension directly in the
vSphere
Client.

extension running in a virtual machine that you deliver using OVF.

You have configured the OVF
descriptor file of the extension to depend on the vCenter Extension vService
and enabled OVF transport.
|
■
|
You have provided a script
in the virtual machine that runs the extension that reads the OVF environment
file to obtain the connection parameters from the vCenter Extension vService
and uses them to register as an extension with
vCenter Server.
