Select OVF Name and Location
When you deploy an OVF template, you provide a unique name for the virtual machine or vApp. The name
can contain up to 80 characters. You can select a data center or folder location for the virtual machine.
Procedure
1 On the Select name and folder page of the Deploy OVF Template wizard, specify a name for the virtual
machine.
The name must be unique within each vCenter Server virtual machine folder.
2 Select or search for a datacenter or folder for the virtual machine.
3 Click Next.
Select Storage for the vCenter Host Gateway OVF Template
Select the location to store the les for the deployed vCenter Host Gateway template.
Prerequisites

Procedure
1 On the Select storage page of the Deploy OVF Template wizard, select the virtual disk format to store
the virtual machine virtual disks.
Option 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 rst write from the virtual machine.
Thick Provision Eager Zeroed
Creates a 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 at format, the data remaining on the physical device is
zeroed out when the virtual disk is created. Creating disks in this format
might take much longer than creating other types of disks.
Thin Provision
Creates a thin disk, which starts small, at rst using only as much
datastore space as the disk needs for its initial operations. The disk space
grows when the virtual machine needs more storage. Use this format to
save storage space. For the thin disk, you provision as much datastore
space as the disk requires based on the value that you enter for the disk
size.
