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.

# Create deployment target spec to accept any resource pool.
target_spec = ovf_client.LibraryItem.DeploymentTarget()
 
# Initiate synchronous deployment operation.
item_stub = ovf_client.LibraryItem(my_stub_config)
result = item_stub.deploy(my_library_item_id,
                          target_spec,

# Verify deployment status.
print("Resource Type={} (ID={}) status:".format(result.resource_id.type, result.resource_id.id))
