If the system administrator has granted you catalog access, you can publish a catalog externally to make its vApp templates and media files available for subscription by organizations outside the VMware Cloud Director installation.
Starting with
VMware Cloud Director 10.4.2, you can create, copy, and edit VMs with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) devices. There are certain considerations that you must take into account when working with vApp templates.
- When the vApp templates in the catalog have TPM devices, and the templates were captured with the Copy option for TPM Provisioning, you cannot publish the vApp templates and they are not available for synchronization.
- When the vApp templates in the catalog have TPM devices, and the templates were captured with the Replace option for TPM Provisioning, you can publish the vApp templates and they are available for synchronization. When you instantiate such vApp templates, the VMs with TPM devices get new TPM devices during the instantiation.
Note:
VMware Cloud Director 10.4.1 and earlier do not support the synchronization of templates with TPM devices.
Prerequisites
Verify that the system administrator enabled external catalog publishing for the organization and granted you catalog access.
