You can upload an archived vApp to VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension and later restore, and use the vApp in VMware Cloud Director.

You can upload up to 10 vApps at once. The vApp files that you upload must have the OVA file extension.

Important: When uploading files to VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension, do not navigate out of the VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension tenant portal until the upload process completes. Leaving the VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension tenant portal within the same user session interrupts the upload process.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the VMware Cloud Director tenant portal.
  2. From the More drop-down menu, select Object Storage.
  3. In the vApps pane, click Upload.
  4. Select whether you want to overwrite objects with the same name.
    By default, VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension overwrites files with the same name.
  5. Click the folder icon (Folder icon), navigate to the files that you want to upload, and click Upload.
