Export an OVF Template
You can export a virtual machine, virtual appliance, or vApp to OVF format to make it available to other users
to import into their inventory.
Procedure
1 Select the virtual machine or vApp and select File > Export > Export OVF Template.
2 In the Export OVF Template dialog, perform the following steps:
a
Type the Name of the template.
For example, type
MyVm
N
OTE
When exporting an OVF template with a name that contain asterisk (*) characters, those
characters turn into underscore characters (_).
b Enter the Directory location where the exported virtual machine template is saved, or click “...” to
browse for the location.
For example,
C:\OvfLib\
.
c In the Optimized for field, determine how you want to store the files.
Select Web (OVF) to store the OVF template as a set of files (
.ovf
,
.vmdk
, and
.mf
) This format is
optimal if you plan to publish the OVF files on a web server or image library. The package can be
imported, for example, into the vSphere client by publishing the URL to the
.ovf
file.
Select Physical Media (OVA) to package the OVF template into a single
.ova
file. This might be
convenient to distribute the OVF package as a single file if it needs to be explicitly downloaded from
a web site or moved around using a USB key.
