Data Object Description
Custom parameters used while deploying an OVF.Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
customHttpHeaders* | KeyValue[] |
For the case when remote server requires authentication or any other
type of custom HTTP headers be provided with the request.
|
datastoreMappings* | OvfDatastoreMapping[] |
The optional datastore mapping(s).
|
diskProfiles* | OvfStorageProfileMapping[] |
The optional Storage Profile mapping(s).
|
powerOn* | xsd:boolean |
Whether to power on the deployed entity.
Note for ESX and Virtual Machine deployment: In order to customize
GuestOS on a deployed Virtual Machine we require that the
powerOn flag must be true. GuestOS customization happens
after VM is powered On and then reconfigured. vCenter does not
require a powerOn and reconfigure to customize GuestOS as it
stores all OVF properties as VApp properties and pushes them to
GuestOS upon powerOn for consumption.
Default is false.
|
pushMode* | xsd:boolean |
Use Push mode for transferring VM files to ESX. Push mode transfers
files from client to ESXi, whereas in Pull mode ESX "pulls" the files
directly from source. This flag only applies to vCenter as ESXi
can only pull directly if DeployVm_Task is invoked
on ESX itself.
See (@link vim.HttpNfcLease#pullFromUrls) for more on Pull mode.
The default/Default: false
|
signatureRequired* | xsd:boolean |
Require that the OVF package has a signed certificate and manifest
and both match. See also manifest validation.
Default is false.
|
skipManifestCheck* | xsd:boolean |
If a manifest file is present in the OVF package the format is checked.
Also all file SHA entries are validated against SHA of read files. If
value is true and manifest file is present a warning is generated.
Default is false.
|
sourceCertificate* | xsd:string |
Optionally used for source validation. The source server certificate
in PEM format.
|
vmProfile* | xsd:string |
The optional Storage Profile Id for VM's home.
