2 Select a datastore to store the deployed OVF template.
The conguration le and virtual disk les are stored on the datastore. Select a datastore large enough
to accommodate the virtual machine and all associated virtual disk les.
3 Click Next.
Setup OVF Network
Set up and congure the networks the deployed OVF templates use. The Setup networks page page of the
Deploy OVF Template wizard allows you to map source networks to target networks and to specify seings
for those networks.
Procedure
1 On the Setup networks page of the Deploy OVF Template wizard, select a source network in the table
and map it to a destination network.
The Source column lists all networks that are dened in the OVF template. The Destination column
contains a list of target networks.
2 From the IP protocol list, select the IP type.
3 Select the IP allocation and click Next.
Customize the OVF Template
Customize the deployment properties of the template. vCenter Host Gateway appliance has specic options
that you must set during the deployment.
Procedure
1 Enter the administrator user name and password for the vCenter Host Gateway appliance.
2 (Optional) If you want to enable SSH-based remote login, select the SSH Enabled check box.
3 To synchronize the time of the vCenter Host Gateway with the time of VMware Tools, select the Tools-
based Time Synchronization Enabled check box.
4 To synchronize the time of the vCenter Host Gateway with one or more NTP servers, enter the host
names or IP addresses in the NTP Server text box, separated by a comma.
N If you chose to synchronize the time of the appliance with both VMware Tools and an NTP
server, and there is a dierence between those times, the appliance synchronizes according to the NTP
server time.
5 (Optional) Enter the host name or IP address of the Platform Services Controller.
N You can use vCenter Host Gateway only after you register it as a service in the
Platform Services Controller. If you leave the text box empty, you must use the vCenter Host Gateway
appliance to register vCenter Host Gateway later.
6 Provide a Single Sign-On user name and password.
The user name you enter must have Single Sign-On administrator privileges.
7 Enter the Host Network IP Address Family.
