Prepare Deployment and Upgrade Templates
You can deploy and upgrade the vCenter Server Appliance with minimum configurations by setting values to the
configuration parameters in the templates that are available in the installer ISO file. The configuration parameters that
are not included in the templates are set to their default values. You can add configuration parameters in the templates
to set their values for your deployment or upgrade specification.
To prepare the deployment or upgrade templates:
1Open the templates subfolder that is located in the vsca-cli-installer directory.
2 Copy the template files to your workspace.
3 Open a template file in a text editor.
4 Fill in the required fields and, optionally, add new parameters to the template.
5 Save in UTF-8 format and close the file.
You can create and save as many templates as are needed for your specific environment.
