You must upload the templates to the datastore in certain scenarios. The scenarios can be as follows: you have upgraded from the previous version and want to use the latest templates, you have changed the destination of the template path, accidentally deleted, or moved a template from the datastore.
To upload the templates, use the Upload Templates page. On this page, you can view templates for Packages, Writable Volumes, AppStacks (2.x), and Writable Volumes (2.x).
Note: AppStacks and
Writable Volumes (2.x) can be created only by using
App Volumes Agent 2.x and uploading the appropriate templates. Any information related to these volumes can be viewed only when the
VOLUMES (2.X) tab is visible in the
App Volumes Manager UI. If you have installed the latest version of
App Volumes Manager and want to explore
App Volumes 2.x, see
Perform App Volumes 2.x Management Tasks.
For information about types of Writable Volume templates, see Types of Writable Volume Templates.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that you have the details and login credentials of the ESX host to which you want to upload the volumes.
- Ensure that you are aware of the considerations regarding templates.
For understanding different types of templates used in App Volumes, see Understanding Templates used in App Volumes.
