Download Specific Bundles with the Bundle Transfer Utility

The Bundle Transfer Utility is a command line tool used to identify bundles applicable to your environment and download the bundles from the VMware Depot to a computer that has internet access.
This procedure provides information about downloading specific bundles to a computer with internet access. When the bundle downloads complete, copy the output directory to a computer with access to the
SDDC Manager appliance
, and then copy the directory to the
SDDC Manager appliance
. After you copy the directory to the
SDDC Manager appliance
, upload the bundle files to the internal LCM repository. See Download Bundles with the Bundle Transfer Utility for more information.
The Bundle Transfer Utility is the only supported method for downloading bundles. Do not use third-party tools or other methods to download bundles.
Run the following commands from the Bundle Transfer Utility directory (for example,
lcm-tools-prod/bin/
) on a computer with internet access.
