Deploying an OVF Package to vCenter Server

The following command deploys testVM.ovf from a local Windows disk to a data store named storage1 in host (12.98.76.54) from vCenter (12.34.56.789). the VM will be named myVM on the host. (To test this on your system, replace the incorrect IP addresses in this example with your actual data store and host IP addresses.)

> ovftool -ds=storage1 -n=myVM C:\testVM.ovf vi://user1:[email protected]/?ip=12.98.76.54.
