Upload a vApp Template
You can upload an OVF package as a vApp template to make the template available to other users. Cloud
Director supports OVF 1.0 and OFV 1.1.
You can quarantine files that users upload to Cloud Director so that you can process the files (for example,
scan them for viruses) before accepting them. See “Quarantine Uploaded Files,” on page 95.
Prerequisites
The organization to which you are uploading the OVF package must have a catalog and an organization vDC.
The computer from which you are uploading must have Java Plug-in 1.6.0_10 or later installed.

What to do next
Make sure that VMware Tools is installed on the virtual machines in the vApp. VMware Tools is required to
support guest customization. See the VMware Cloud Director User's Guide for more information.
