  1. Log in to a server where the OVF Tool is running, by using a Secure Shell (SSH) client.
  2. Define deployment parameters in the OVF Tool console by running the following commands.
    # VMNAME="
    Name-to-be-Assigned-to-the-VM
    "

# VSPHERE_DATASTORE="
    vSphere-datastore
    "

# VSPHERE_NETWORK="
    VM-Network
    "

# OVA="
    local_client_path
    /VMware-Cloud-Director-Availability-On-Premises-
    release_number-xxx-build_number
    _OVF10.ova
    "

# VSPHERE_USER="
    vCenter-Server-admin-user
    "

# VSPHERE_USER_PASSWORD="
    vCenter-Server-admin-user-password

    ${VMNAME}
    " --datastore="
    ${VSPHERE_DATASTORE}
    " --acceptAllEulas
--powerOn --X:enableHiddenProperties --X:injectOvfEnv --X:waitForIp
--ipAllocationPolicy=fixedPolicy --machineOutput --noSSLVerify
--overwrite --powerOffTarget "--net:VM Network=
    ${VSPHERE_NETWORK}
    " --diskMode=thin
