This example shows how to deploy a virtual machine from a local library item in a resource pool. You can also see how to verify the results of the deployment operation.
This example uses the steps that are described in the Deploy a Virtual Machine or Virtual Appliance from an OVF Package in a Content Library procedure.

ServiceManager serviceManager = getServiceManager(null); String clusterName = "myCluster"; ManagedObjectReference clusterMoRef = VimUtil.getCluster(serviceManager.getVimPortType(), serviceManager.getServiceContent(), clusterName); DeploymentTarget deploymentTarget = new DeploymentTarget(); deploymentTarget.setResourcePoolId(clusterMoRef.getValue()); // Retrieve the library items OVF information and use it for populating the // deployment spec instance.

System.out.printf("Resource Type=%s (ID=%s) status: ", result.getResourceId().getType(), result.getResourceId().getId()); if (result.getSucceeded() == true) { System.out.println("Resource instantiated."); } else { System.out.println("Instantiation failed."); }
