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.

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.

5

Verify the results of the create operation.
