Select Storage for OVF Template
Select the location to store the files for the deployed template.
Procedure
1 Select the disk format to store the virtual machine virtual disks.
Format Description
Thick Provisioned Lazy Zeroed
Creates a virtual disk in a default thick format. Space required for the
virtual disk is allocated when the virtual disk is created data remaining on
the physical device is not erased during creation, but is zeroed out on
demand at a later time on first write from the virtual machine.
Thick Provision Eager Zeroed
A type of thick virtual disk that supports clustering features such as Fault
tolerance. Space required for the virtual disk is allocated at creation time.
In contrast to the flat format the data remaining on the physical device is
zeroed out when the virtual disk is created. it might take much longer to
create disks in this format than to create other types o disks.
Thin Provision
Use this format to save storage space. For the thin disk, you provision as
much datastore space as the disk would require based on the value that
you enter for the disk size. However, the thin disk starts small and at first,
uses only as much datastore space as the disk needs for its initial
operations.
2 (Optional) Select a VM Storage Policy.
This option is available only if storage policies are enabled on the destination resource.
3 Select a datastore to store the deployed OVF template.
The configuration file and virtual disk files are stored on the datastore. Select a datastore large enough
to accommodate the virtual machine or vApp and all associated virtual disk files.
4 (Optional) Disable Storage DRS if you do not want to use it for this virtual machine or vApp.
5 Click Next.
Configure Networks for OVF Template
Set up and configure the networks the deployed OVF templates use.
The Setup networks wizard screen allows you to map source networks to target networks, and to specify
settings for those networks.
For each network, you can perform the mapping and optional customizations explained in the procedure.
Procedure
1 Select a Source network in the table and map it to a Destination network.
The Source column lists all networks that are defined in the OVF template. The Destination column
allows you to select a target network.
