Importing an OVF File into a vCloud instance

This section provides two examples of importing using a URL to create a vCloud instance from an OVF file. The first example names the resulting vApp as ‘vApp’.

> ovftool http://my_ovflib/vm/my_vapp.ovf \
           vcloud://username:pass@my_cloud?org=MyOrg&vdc=MyVDC&catalog=MyCatalog&vapp=myVapp

(Imports an OVF from http into a vCloud instance and names the vApp myVapp)

The second example also creates a vApp template:

> ovftool http://my_ovflib/vm/my_vapp.ovf \
vcloud://username:pass@my_cloud?org=MyOrg&vdc=MyVDC&catalog=MyCatalog&vappTemplate=myTemplate

(This imports an OVF from http into a vCloud instance and creates a vApp template)
