Learn how to deploy OVF templates offered by OVHcloud.
OVHcloud offers OVF templates that you can deploy directly from your vSphere (version 7.0 or later) across content libraries.
Requirements
- web client access (HTML5)
Instructions
Step 1 - Deploying a template
You can find the content libraries your vSphere has signed up to via your vSphere homepage, by clicking the Content Libraries icon.
Then click on one of the libraries to view their contents and deploy a new virtual machine from the OVF & OVA Templates tab.
You can also deploy content from libraries directly from the Cluster view by right-clicking one of your clusters and selecting New Virtual Machine.
Then select the Deploy from template option.
Click on one of the templates offered by the content libraries installed on your vSphere.
Step 2 - Configuring the template
The template deployment process will ask you to confirm the details and a destination for the new virtual machine (data center, cluster, datastore, etc.).
Some templates accept deployment properties that allow you to quickly configure the new virtual machine by creating, for example, a privileged user or configuring the main network interface.
Templates that do not offer customization will have the default credentials specified in the virtual machine notes.
