Create a Published Catalog
You
can create a published catalog to contain uploaded and imported vApp templates and media files to make
available to all organizations. An organization can have multiple catalogs and control access to each catalog
individually.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have an organization that allows catalog publishing.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organizations in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization name and select Open.
3 Click Catalogs and select My Organization's Catalogs in the left pane.
4 On the Catalogs tab, click New.
5 Type a catalog name and optional description and click Next.
6 Click Next.
7 Select Publish to all organizations and click Next.
8 Review the catalog settings and click Finish.
Upload a vApp Template
You can upload an OVF package as a vApp template to make the template available to other users. vCloud
Director supports OVF 1.0 and OVF 1.1.
vCloud Director supports OVFs based on the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) Specification. If you upload
an OVF that includes deployment options, those options are preserved in the vApp template.
You can quarantine files that users upload to vCloud Director so that you can process the files before you
accept them. For example, you can scan the files for viruses. See “Quarantine Uploaded Files,” on page 105.
Prerequisites
Verify that the following conditions exist:
n
The organization to which you are uploading the OVF package has a catalog and an organization vDC.
n
The computer from which you are uploading has Java Plug-in 1.6.0_10 or later installed.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organizations in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization name and select Open.
3 Click Catalogs and select My Organization's Catalogs in the left pane.
4 On the vApp Templates tab, click Upload.
5 Click Browse, browse to the location of the OVF package, select it, and click Open.
6 Type a name and optional description for the vApp template.
7 Select an organization vDC and catalog and click Upload.
What to do next
Make sure that vSphere Tools is installed on the virtual machines in the vApp. vSphere Tools is required to
support guest customization. See the VMware vCloud Director User's Guide.
