Deploying an OVF Package
into a vApprun Workspace
A vApprun workspace allows Workstation and
Fusion users to run vApps. It provides a complete vApprun execution
environment, that includes nested vApps, OVF properties, and an OVF
environment. The environment is fully compatible with vSphere 4 and all later
releases.

To deploy an OVF package into a vApprun workspace,
simply use a target locator that points to your vApprun workspace, as shown in
the following example:
> ovftool myOvfPackage
c:\My_vApprun_workspace\
A common scenario is that the current directory is
the vApprun workspace (since all vApprun commands are relative to this), so you
can just use a “.” as the target locator, as shown in the following example:
> ovftool
http://www.mycompany.com/ovflib/BigDemo.ovf.
