Create an OVF Package
in a Content Library from a Virtual Machine
You can create
library items from existing virtual machines or virtual appliances. Use those
library items later to deploy virtual machines and virtual appliances on hosts
and clusters in the
vCloud
Suite
environment.
Procedure
1
Create a
DeployableIdentity
instance to specify the source virtual machine or virtual appliance to be
captured in an OVF package.
2
Create a
CreateTarget instance
to identify the content library where the OVF package is stored.
3
Create a
CreateSpec instance to
specify the properties of the OVF package.
4
Initiate a synchronous
create operation by invoking the
create function of the
LibraryItem service.
